What's this?

OK. Just interested. Sure, I'm not happy we lost, but I look at 8+ ERA

dudes line and a couple things stick out. Pitch count in the mid-70's over 6IP. Pretty low for today's college game. 4 K's over that 6IP. So that tells me balls were in play, but our success rate on balls in play was a lot lower than usual. So honest question, what's the reason for that. Hitting out of bat counts? Chasing bad pitches? Hit into bad luck? Good defense?

It's nuanced, right? Maybe they were focused and the other guy was just better on a Tuesday. Or they mailed it in.

Is the reason for this because ACC teams reserve their best pitchers for -- JRHokie73 04/16/2021 09:43AM

True but not like Liberty is throwing their best either ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 04/16/2021 11:59AM

Not so... -- Arch72Hokie 04/15/2021 11:01AM

They are also 2-0 against UNC ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 04/16/2021 03:42AM

Tough loss...but can’t win them all. -- SouthFLHokie 04/13/2021 9:22PM

They’re very good; I expected a loss frankly BUT it’s HOW we’re losing -- hokiepro 04/13/2021 7:51PM

Or maybe LU sent their very best P vs big 'ol Tech and he pitched great? ** -- MDHokie79 04/14/2021 10:15AM

Nope; guy had an 8+ ERA coming in -- hokiepro 04/14/2021 10:20AM

Just so I know, which of the nine guys in the lineup weren't focused? ** -- HokiePWC 04/14/2021 08:34AM

It’s a general statement -- hokiepro 04/14/2021 08:41AM

I don’t think it’s a surprise; more a statement on where we are -- hokiepro 04/14/2021 09:04AM

Well it's not a very mature team agewise. Better days ahead. But like you -- IB4TECH 04/13/2021 7:53PM

Big picture it’s not a big deal and maybe Szefc sends a message afterwards -- hokiepro 04/13/2021 7:55PM

Got to have a baseball mentality. Forget about it and get ready for GT ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 04/14/2021 03:41AM
