On this episode of the Dougout, Doug goes solo for a full breakdown of the wild ride that is the College Baseball postseason.

He covers what stood out in Regionals and how he'd handle the reseeding issues in the bracket, the antics, controversies, and the chaotic energy in college baseball, and previews the Super Regionals.

Doug also gives his take on the Kevin O'Sullivan drama, Brian O'Connor's surprising move to Mississippi State, and final thoughts on NIL, NCAA decision-making, and Kim Ng's new softball league.
