In today’s episode, co-hosts Ellen and Steph break down a stunning and welcome development from MLB — star LA Dodgers Pitcher Trevor Bauer was issued a two-season suspension last week after spending 10 months on paid administrative leave while he faced sexual assault allegations.
El and Steph discuss the background and what this major news could mean for other (men’s) pro sports leagues.

Then after the break, it’s time for a rapid fire update on all of the latest playoff action. NHL, NBA and NWSL, oh my! It’s postseason season, baby.
