Week One is officially in the books! After a wild start to softball season, Tom Canterbury and Gray Robertson are here to discuss everything you need to know about Alabama, the SEC, and much more. Here's your trip around the bases:
At the Plate (0:00-30:24): Tom and Gray go over the good, meh, and bad from the trip to Tucson for the Candrea Classic. Then, the guys get ready for a journey to the Shriners Children’s Clearwater Invitational presented by EvoShield.
Advancing to First (30:34-55:01): Tom and Gray go over the opening weekend results around the conference, including wild wins at the NFCA Leadoff Classic, Oklahoma’s interesting start, strangely close games against outmatched opponents, the grit of Texas A&M, Florida flexing, and more. Plus, Tom gives his “Stock Up, Stock Down” picks after one week.
Stealing Second (55:12-1:23:40): ESPN analyst Michele Smith returns to the show to discuss her biggest takeaways from opening weekend, what goes into prep for Clearwater, thoughts on Alabama, UCLA’s pitching staff, Oklahoma State’s rocky trip to Mexico, fringe teams looking to make a statement, Patty Gasso coaching with Team USA, and more.
Rounding Third (1:23:53-1:37:54): Tom and Gray get together for another edition of “The Overreaction Game” and then look at the biggest matchups coming up this week, including multiple happening away from Clearwater.
Heading Home (1:38:05-2:12:28): To close the show, Tom and Gray dive into an “Off the Wall” that addresses some of the weekend’s technical issues, disrespect to the opponents, and a lack of knowledge about NCAA rules. Then, “Tom’s Hungry” returns after a successful weekend of eating in Tucson.
