We have the defense

3b - Fragale is one of the best leaders and power hitters in the ACC. Good defender that will be fine. Has played 2nd, 1st, and now 3rd. Can't take him out of the lineup.

SS - Nick Owens - tied for least amt of errors for SS in ACC and hitting over .300. Broke throwing hand vs. Georgia Tech and trying to play w/out a cast. Out for past 5 games. Backup Odachowski did the best he could as a Freshman thrown into an important position for past 5 games.

2nd - Jack Owens - ranked as a top second baseman in the Nation. Only 4 errors all season and right at the 300 mark.

1b - JD Mundy - can flat our mash and catch. limited range but servicable at 1b.

OF - Menken - playing w/ a torn labrum in his hip and still has incredible range.
OF - Stoffel - hurt arm and still playing.
C - Horanski - knee surgury this fall and playing through pain.

Summary - I've watched this team - they're tough and will come up w/ some surprising wins this season. Guaranteed to make the ACC tourney.

The sac bunt there was a terrible call... -- BB Hokie 03/28/2018 8:26PM

Wow, you wouldn’t last long as a baseball coach -- hokiepro 03/29/2018 2:36PM

The sac bunt is a negative run expectancy move at every level of baseball -- BB Hokie 03/29/2018 3:25PM

The NRE is very small for his situation. And he's in a slump. -- 48zip 03/29/2018 4:00PM

He is a weak hitter (.250) and leads the team in Ks (by a LOT). Smart call -- 48zip 03/29/2018 09:41AM

I heard LU Coach Jackson on radio after the game. -- 501 03/28/2018 1:38PM

To me, this one really isn't about sabremetrics. -- Chris Coleman

03/28/2018 1:41PM

It is a process... -- 2hhoop3 03/27/2018 9:33PM

Still, Owens is an extraordinary D liability...I know he’s doing his best, -- Irish Hokie 03/27/2018 10:28PM

We have the defense -- VirginiaCards 03/28/2018 5:59PM

That one was terrible, bounced throw that didn’t need to be hurried -- hokiepro 03/27/2018 7:27PM

And we go down quietly in the bottom of the 10th -- 8792HOKIE 03/27/2018 7:33PM

LU reliever goes 4.2 innings only faces 15 -- hokiepro 03/27/2018 7:35PM

Probably their ace, saw he had a 2 something era... -- 8792HOKIE 03/27/2018 7:40PM

You really think they’d throw their ace -- hokiepro 03/27/2018 8:19PM

Yep. I played @VMI & these schools love to win these games, weekend or not ** -- 3TechFanz 03/28/2018 07:43AM

Well it worked, interesting to see how they do this weekend ** -- hokiepro 03/28/2018 08:21AM

Right. Would U rather beat VT/uva midweek, or go 3-0 versus UNCA on weekend ** -- 3TechFanz 03/28/2018 09:40AM

Ace or not, he's a pretty good pitcher -- Hamburger 03/28/2018 05:12AM

Schools like Liberty do that. They will do anything to -- RJHokie 03/27/2018 8:28PM

If he isn't their ace now he will be one day -- Hamburger 03/28/2018 05:11AM

1B don't stretch on throw in the dirt -- rtp_hokie67 03/27/2018 7:32PM
