ESPN softball analyst and two-time Olympic medalist Jessica Mendoza joins Sarah to talk through the stars she’s got her eyes on in this year’s Women's College World Series, squads she thinks could upset perennial powerhouse Oklahoma, how the pace and passion of softball differs from baseball, and her LA 2028 hot take. She also helps us tease a one-of-a-kind partnership that will change the softball landscape. Plus, the French Open gets called out for prioritizing the men’s tournament, Big Citrus debuts a new segment, and we revisit middle school spelling trauma.
