What's this?

So serious question...Pete says they're not going to change anything, and

and that they'll continue to use Emma the way they have. He said he doesn't think it will get called any more. (today, Roanoke Times).

What the what? After what has transpired, I would think EVERY oposing coach will bring it up with the umps. And again, after what has transpired I would think EVERY ump is going to feel compelled to call it.

The "we're just not going to worry about it and hope it goes away" plan doesn't seem well thought out. I know trying to change her delivery at this point would be difficult if not impossible, but is thumbing your nose at the problem a workable, solution?

It was an FSU thing. Listen to podcast linked below -- hokiepro 04/12/2022 06:27AM

Serious Question? -- Techdady 04/11/2022 8:54PM

There is no reason to not start Emma as usual. She is a weapon that we -- IB4TECH 04/11/2022 9:43PM

Cupcake -- Techdady 04/11/2022 9:48PM

She cannot beat anyone if they call her pitches illegal ... -- nkhooch 04/12/2022 03:55AM

She has thrown many legal pitches already and she will continue to do that ** -- IB4TECH 04/12/2022 09:26AM

This just isn’t true. -- RVAHokie05 04/12/2022 07:49AM

I guess you forgot about UCLA last year -- SBMom34 04/12/2022 06:30AM

Ivy had one bad inning she’s very capable -- hokiepro 04/12/2022 06:29AM

OK, I will rephrase. Against FSU coach Pete was not confident enough ... -- nkhooch 04/12/2022 5:05PM

Wow -- SBMom34 04/12/2022 06:23AM

I am not saying Ivy doesn't have value to the team ... -- nkhooch 04/12/2022 5:08PM

I hope she gets more innings. She’s a warrior and vital to the team. -- IB4TECH 04/12/2022 09:38AM

I agree, more innings would help, but she is not getting them .. -- nkhooch 04/12/2022 5:09PM

I don’t like this post - I suspect that Pete will work with Emma -- sacramento hokie 04/11/2022 8:37PM

Could be a workable solution...... -- 2hhoop3 04/11/2022 8:08PM

Agree with this. Not good for the game to have this happen inconsistently -- nkhooch 04/12/2022 04:03AM

A rule change or interpretation change mid season? Any precedent for that? ** -- JoesterVT 04/11/2022 8:16PM

Doesn't happen ** -- AirborneHokie96 04/12/2022 07:28AM

But it could be argued the ump made his own interpretation change -- hokiepro 04/12/2022 06:31AM

I agree with VTsportscaster...... -- 2hhoop3 04/11/2022 8:33PM

Short answer No -- VTsportscaster 04/11/2022 8:19PM
