The 2025 MLB season is officially over and a new World Series winner has been crowned. This has been one of the most exciting postseasons that I have personally witnessed, but the ending, the World Series, also delivered such high moments. Join the 10th Inning as I TALK all about the highs, some lows, and most importantly, why you should always be ready when your number is called so that you can "finish the job".

Fans of Major League Baseball have experienced some excellent postseason games in the NLCS and the ALCS. We've also witnessed historical moments and star play from Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Vlad Guerrero Jr, and Julio Rodriguez to name a few. Still, one of the largest stories has been people online discussing if the Dodgers are ruining baseball. In this episode, I address this concern about the Dodgers while also highlighting some big moments from the Championship Series. Tune in as I discuss one of the most exciting postseasons in MLB history.

October is the best time of the year for Major League Baseball fans because that means that it is time for postseason baseball. The best of the National League and the American League meet up to battle it out to compete in the World Series. In order to get there, teams first must compete in the Wild Card and the Division Series. In this episode, I discuss the Wild Card Rounds, my predictions, and players to watch in the 2025 postseason. Get excited because OCTOBER BASEBALL IS HERE!!!

You cannot talk baseball and softball without discussing the role and significance of the umpire. This week, I got the opportunity to talk to the first woman to umpire a Division 1 baseball game. That woman is THE Natola Hawthorne. She is not just significant from a historical standpoint, but she gives excellent information on the role of the umpire in a way that you may have never considered along with how it all came to be. This episode was historical, moving, and an important point for all of us to see the significance of women in this space AND how we can all benefit from learning, promoting, and being in the moment of the evolution and acceptance of Women in Sports. ENJOY!

We have officially made it to Episode 20 of 10th Inning Talk. A great way to celebrate was to have Just Geefs come on and discuss that fateful 5th inning of the Yankees during the World Series, the greatness of the AUSL's inaugural season, what it means to be a fan of both baseball and softball as a woman, and a bit of "10 to the End". This was a super fun episode that highlighted so many parts of MLB, AUSL, college softball as a woman fan. Be sure to lock in with 10th Inning Talk.

The AUSL officially concluded its season with the All-Star Cup ending on August 31st and crowning its inaugural winner. I discuss who the Top 4 are, from where you may know them, and crown the actual winner. The AUSL also released their top jersey sales, and I definitely wanted to discuss who these players are and how you can purchase them. Finally, MVP talks are ramping up in MLB. Do you have a pick? Tune in as I give stats and an overall stance on the players and who I think should reign as MVP in the MLB. Welcome to the 10th Inning.

Alignment brings happiness and peace to anyone who experiences it. Now, add that to both softball and baseball. In this episode, I discuss how alignment positively affects softball through the AUSL and the Team USA softball team that recently competed in the Team World Games. I also discussed the possibility of alignment and expansion teams to the MLB. What will it look like and what are some questions that still linger? Ultimately, alignment is here and can benefit not just people individually, but also softball and baseball.
