It's another full episode of In The Circle, powered by SixFour3. Today's episode starts off in Knoxville where all eyes are focused on Karlyn Pickens’s status. Eric Lopez chatted with Rhi Potkey about Pickens’s injury and where it leaves the Lady Vols as they start SEC play.

Afterwards, we'll hear from friend of the podcast, Cat Osterman, who has plenty to say about the current state of pitching, the AUSL, and her alma mater. The show wraps up with our weekly picks segment, featuring a slight twist for opening week.
