Listen Later

May is almost here, and the podcast is finally back on schedule! Tom Canterbury and Gray Robertson return to discuss everything you need to know about Alabama, the SEC, and much more. Here's your trip around the bases:   


At the Plate (0:00-30:33): Tom and Gray look back at the Auburn series and discuss everything, including a few good things, the need for clean defense, the importance of Ashley Prange’s status, hitting versus scoring, and more. Then, the guys look ahead to another home series against LSU.


Advancing to First (30:42-50:00): The guys look back at the latest SEC action, including Tennessee’s wild sweep of Florida, Arkansas missing a chance at Kentucky, Georgia dominating, Mississippi State’s NCAA Tournament status, Texas A&M’s series win, and more. Plus, another FGCL Player of the Week is announced.


Stealing Second (50:14-1:23:30): ESPN analyst, 7Innings Podcast contributor, and Texas A&M All-American Amanda Scarborough returns to the show to chat about the crazy Texas-Oklahoma State series, Tennessee’s sweep, concerns about Ashley Rogers, the Alabama-Auburn results, a few upcoming SEC and Pac-12 matchups, and much more. Then, Amanda steps into the Pods for a round of “Softball is Blind” as she tries, sight unseen, to pick winners for player awards.


Rounding Third (1:23:37-1:39:54): Bracketology returns! Gray presents his newest Top 16 seeds and explains the impact of some of the Wednesday night results as they go final in real-time. Then, the guys look at big national games this weekend.


Heading Home (1:40:05-2:18:10): To close the show, Tom and Gray make picks for upcoming SEC and national series before diving into a fun edition of “Off the Wall” that highlights grammar, lazy uniform complaints, weather demands, and more. Finally, “Tom’s Hungry” returns with a jumbo segment that covers trips to Starkville and Huntington.
