Re: Softball starts on the mound. I realize that is Scot's responsibility too


This kind of comment shows some of what's wrong with the program. So many want to blame injuries and pitching for the losses this year while the fact is that this issues are much deeper than that. Pitching? Do you realize this team in 23 of their 34 losses scored 3 runs or less? Never mind that defensively they averaged almost 1.5 unearned runs a game. So pitchers had to give up 1run or less to win those 23 games. Cmon. Sure pitching had some down moments for sure but to blame pitching is not an informed conclusion. This team underperformed at all levels starting with hitting and defense and sure some pitching too. The fact that the team underperformed is the issue and that starts at the top. We Hokies do hope there is value in next year's class - there is value in every class but let's not blame injuries, pitching etc. let's focus on the facts and they aren't pretty.
