Episode Notes

Segment 1: Co-hosts Zach Schritenthal, Ryan Gaynor and Sam Bragg review this past weekend's Super Regionals. Is it inevitable that No. 1 national seed Wake Forest wins the national championship?

Segment 2: Along with Ryan, host John Crist is joined by local baseball umpire Joe Gaynor -- he just happens to be Ryan's dad, as well. How hard is it to call a consistent strike zone that’s fair to pitchers and hitters alike? What's the best way for coaches to question a close play or rule interpretation? Tell us, Blue.

Segment 3: In this installment of Three Up, Three Down, John asks Zach and Ryan about Oklahoma possibly becoming bad for college softball, the 2024 "Field of Dreams" game and the uptick in stolen bases across MLB. Also, Zach Attack comments on the "reverse boycott" we saw in Oakland the other day, Cryin' Ryan wonders if it's time to bring back soft-tossing pitchers and the Redbirds Report details a rough outing for the 9-year-olds in their last tournament.
