Jessica Mendoza joins us ahead of the Women's College World Series title rematch between Texas and Texas Tech, recapping all of the drama the tournament has given in the last week (brawls, slander, pregnant pitchers, unique game management... and more!). She also dives into the Dodgers season so far and what she thinks Ohtani's next mountain to climb will be.

Washington Nationals All-Star shortstop CJ Abrams then gives us the inside details on his "alien" nickname, the toughest pitcher to hit, and the Nationals surprising top-ranked offense.

We end with Bleacher Tweets. Is there a better reliever than Mason Miller?
