Episode 75: Old Donuts, the Beyhive, and the Worst Comment of All-Time

Out of the Box

College softball is only getting crazier! After a wild and weather-impacted weekend, Tom Canterbury and Gray Robertson are here to discuss everything you need to know about Alabama, the SEC, and much more in a new episode. Here's your trip around the bases:

At the Plate (0:00-18:29): Tom and Gray start by diving into Alabama’s performance during the Bama Bash, including impressive pitching, a few offensive bright spots, strange history in the event, a few needed improvements, and more. Then, the guys preview a Wednesday midweek and the upcoming Green and Gold Classic in Birmingham.

Advancing to First (18:39-54:39): In audio from the Softball America podcast “It Just Means More Softball,” Tom and Gray discuss the biggest stories in the SEC including the conference teams in Clearwater, Texas A&M’s trip to California, what to make of Arkansas, Auburn’s strange rain issues, South Carolina in Mexico, and so much more.

Stealing Second (54:56-1:22:53): ESPN analyst Amanda Scarborough returns to the show to discuss all the offense in Clearwater, the importance of winning no matter what, Florida State’s issues, concerns about Tennessee, Kentucky’s enigma status, the upcoming Mary Nutter, and more.

Rounding Third (1:23:01-1:33:48): Tom and Gray go through the biggest games around the country and then announce the first ACL Player of the Week for this season.

Heading Home (1:33:57-2:11:06): To close the show, Tom and Gray hit the mailbag and answer questions about softball, food, and anything else from listeners. Then, it’s perhaps the greatest edition of “Off the Wall” in the podcast’s history—streaming, hitting, and then the worst comment ever collected in this segment.
