The 11.7 Podcast hosts recap midweek college baseball and preview Weekend 10, starting with a Homefield Apparel ad highlighting the Jackie Robinson Day UCLA collection, limited button-down jersey, and a Friday pullover “jersey” drop, plus teasing upcoming Omaha plans. They respond to listener comments about show length and Dmitri’s “speed it up” habit, then discuss Bethune-Cookman beating Florida after also beating LSU (despite losing to Mississippi Valley State) and note Sully’s tense, wordless pitching change. UC Santa Barbara ends UCLA’s 27-game win streak and is framed as a dangerous regional matchup due to elite pitching but offensive concerns. The episode hits other midweek upsets, debates Southern Miss and bubble/RPI dynamics (including Arizona State, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt, and SEC win thresholds), previews key weekend series, makes Pick ’Em selections, and spins the wheel to award Homefield prize packs to weekly Pick ’Em winners.

*Disclaimer from Ben* "This ended up being a bad idea and probably the worst podcast episode we have ever recorded. Promise to be better Wednesday... On paper, filling out a field of 64 seemed fun and easy, but it turned out to be absolutely impossible and boring

The 11.7 Podcast recaps college baseball weekend nine with a different format: building a live Field of 64 projection while discussing the weekend’s biggest results. They debate top-16 seeds and key storylines including Texas A&M’s series win over Texas with a canceled rubber game, UCLA’s 14-inning win at Rutgers featuring 30 strikeouts and Logan Reddemann’s 18 K start, Georgia Tech’s offense against Florida State, Florida winning at Georgia behind strong pitching, Alabama getting swept by Arkansas, and Tennessee sweeping Mississippi State. They run through conference automatic qualifiers, argue over bubble teams and seeding logic, and ultimately complete a full projected bracket while acknowledging how messy and uncertain the process feels in mid-April.
