We certainly have the offense and two of the three conference starters we

need for actual sweeps. We are pretty good defensively too. We just lack that third starter and a proven closer. Middle relief is a liability, but not sure there are a lot of teams who have a reliable middle relief pitcher.

Are we a top 10 team? I'm not knowledgeable enough of other teams to say. I do know we can beat anyone if we play like we have been playing in our recent prior series. We'll go as far as our pitching will take us, and I'll worry about that third starter once we get into the regionals. We've still got some really good teams to play in UVA and Louisville. Heck, with Duke sweeping ND they will not be a pushover. I'm just glad we have Louisville and Duke at home.

The way we showed Mike Young the door after a 10-10, 2-7 start? ** -- No_Limit_Hokie 04/19/2022 12:08PM

Hey now, we really sucked then. ** -- HokieJay 04/19/2022 2:11PM

Pretty much. I laughed at that, too. ** -- MP4VT2004 04/19/2022 12:14PM

I guess coach figured out that he just had to... -- MP4VT2004 04/18/2022 7:41PM

Actually that has been a huge part of it. I haven't looked at the stats -- Nortazhokie 04/18/2022 7:54PM

No argument on the stats... -- MP4VT2004 04/18/2022 8:19PM

I knew you were joking, but a lot of the success has really been that -- Nortazhokie 04/18/2022 8:25PM

I was a pitcher too, though not at the collegiate level. -- MP4VT2004 04/18/2022 8:29PM

BA has us at 11. Still absent from Collegiate Baseball Top 30 somehow. ** -- HokiePWC 04/18/2022 1:17PM

Have no idea how that publication could leave us out of the Top 30...... -- VTScoop 04/18/2022 1:53PM

It's a self inflicted wound and wrecks their credibility. ** -- HokieJay 04/19/2022 11:47AM

It’s a head scratcher. Bit of a dinosaur publication. My only guess is -- HokiePWC 04/18/2022 9:10PM

Yeah, the closer is my biggest concern right now -- Vienna_Hokie 04/19/2022 07:34AM

I agree. I was expecting around 15. 8 seems a bit high -- HwoodHokie 04/18/2022 2:56PM

Pressure officially turned up, went from the underdog to the hunted -- soflahokie 04/18/2022 09:50AM
