Announcer made me think that was gonna go 600 ft 
I've got to mute these insufferable, Hokie cheerleader announcers. They are grating.
Three runs won't win this game. Let's answer with a crooked number.
Man…I really want to feel confident in our starting pitching heading into the NCAAT. But it looks as shaky as it has at any point this year. We are VERY lucky to only be down 3-2. They hit the ball as hard off DeCaro that inning as he’s ever been hit in three years. Thank God the park is actually playing bigger today.
Yeah, they get excited for any team not named Carolina. Dude gets on my nerves.Announcer made me think that was gonna go 600 ft
Don't understand why we've just come up swinging this half inning. Divorced from the previous two innings.

Would have loved to have put some runners on and driven the pitch count up at least.
He’s thrown 68 pitches in 3 innings, the pitch count has been drove up. He’s got really good stuff today, just hasn’t been in the zone consistently. We’re fine.
Pitchwise this is going to be Decaro's biggest challenge. His fastball is pretty flat.
We’re going to need to play two games to get everyone on the mound we’ll want to. I might go to Glauber now
4 innings & out, we are seeing this too much, hoping he would be able to go deeper today.
Why? They want as many guys to get live action on the mound as possible. Need to win today to do that and need to not try to make Jason grind through innings. Glauber is our best bullpen arm, he gives us the best chance to win today.
Starting pitching has to be somewhat of a concern heading into regionals, given the lack of length Decaro and Lynch have provided this year. Glauber and McDuffie have been excellent out of the pen, but I worry they'll run out of gas, as McDuffie did last year. Offense is going to need to mash next weekend, considering Forbes has shown two years in a row that he'll punt on the Sunday game to be set up for a Monday night winner-take-all.
Some people complained about DeCaro not winning ACC pitcher of the year. He averaged 5 innings per conference start. That's not what you see from guys who win conference and national awards. Yes, his ERA was better than Mendes but there's value in throwing 20% more innings even if the ERA is a little higher.
A man on first with one out is not VT threatening in the 4th. LOL, dude come on. These announcers.
Because our ace just had a 3.1 IP, 3 R (at least) start in his last start before the NCAA tournament.
Having your starter only go three innings is a major problem. I wouldn’t have been too concerned if this was in February, but considering regionals start next weekend, yea, I’m concerned.
If it was not a single elimination game where you have artificial pressure to have other guys get action he wouldn’t have been pulled
