6-5 now. Mizelle 2 RBI Single. Rohs RBI single
Chatfield 💥 💥
6-3
Need the ladies to find a little Texas Tech.
Texas Tech was down 8-0 in bottom of 7th and put up 8
They won 10-9 in the 8th
None of our pitchers want to throw strikes it appears.
6 walks to Akron. (4 of runs from walks, 3 unearned runs (2 of walks runs were also unearned))
9 to LSU. 5 runs from Walks and two unearned runs (7 out of 8 runs)
Ehhh... I also thought coaching salaries would decrease. We haven't seen that yet, but we are seeing that ADs are way less willing to pay buyouts - Napier, Fickle, Tony Elliott, Norvell, Aranda, Locksley, Venables, and more all got/are getting at least a year more than they would have in the pre-NIL era.
But with the transfer portal coaches are now WAY more important because they bring the players with them.
Another comment in need of caveat... in almost all of these cases, the players are getting a significant raise too. It's not like the guys who followed Cig from JMU to Indiana weren't getting a significant raise. Same thing with Chesney/JMU players, Morris/North Texas players, etc.
In fact, I'd argue that if a coach doesn't bring players with them, it's most likely because the destination program is under-resourced; I am confident that few, if any players are leaving significant money on the table just to stick with a coach. And I'm tremendously confident that no coach can convince a half dozen players to leave money on the table.
But time will tell. Given how much the landscape has changed in 5 years (NIL, Unlimited Transfers, new playoff, two new TV deals, COVID eligibility, etc), it's still tough to get a clear picture with a 'limited' data set.
Bats pretty much disappeared starting with the F$U game in the ACC tournament.
He is about to be 17 and 15 in the ncaa tournament. 1 and 6 in the 1-0 winner bracket games. And eliminated twice in the 1-1 elimination game by the four seed of the regional
two more...6-1 zips
And the wheels have fallen off in a regional for Tech once again.
Yeah bats completely silent again. Mizelle and Rohs 8/9 hitters only hits
Carrico K's the hitter. 4-1 Akron after 4.
They are loose...we are NOT.
first hitter flies out. E-5 scores 2 or 3...umps deciding...
4-1 runners at 2nd and 3rd
we got a break, imo
Now in a review. Kind of bs they aren't forcing Akron to challenge it.
You are correct. Hokies will be playing at 5 on Wednesday
Maybe need to start talking about postseason Pete. His teams don't do that good when the postseason starts
Welp Carrico does the job and defense blows it.
5-1 now on ground ball to 3rd
Don't understand why she didnt throw home
Carrico in
single to left, scores 1...
2-1, bases loaded one out
single to right scores 1. bases still loaded
In the NFL just about every starting QB makes more than any coach. LTs make more than most coaches, but coavhes aren't THAT valuable because they can't bring a whole team with them like college. You could buy sugars roster but you'd have to pay Kirby ridiculous money to get them.
E-5, bases loaded
Mazzerone's control is terrible...two walks and a K to start the 4th; seems tired
3 up, 3 down in the top of the 4th. Akron pitcher moving the ball around. Hokies making contact but nothing getting smashed.
Mazzerone retires the first 8; then gives up a walk and dunk single before striking out their #3 hitter to end the bottom of the third. 1-0 Hokies.
