What's this?

IMHO, I think Duff was our best player 2 seasons ago.

I think she caught almost every game and was simply burned out. We have more depth at catcher this season. Maybe a year away brought back her love for the game?

Duff - Why is she allowed back? -- HokieED72 08/19/2018 2:54PM

That and having relief at the catching position. That position is hard on -- RJHokie 08/19/2018 8:47PM

That’s interesting about Duff. Good to have her back though! ** -- RJHokie 08/19/2018 09:35AM
