I recap everything from MLP Columbus team by team, led by the New Jersey Fives finally beating the St. Louis Shock after sweeping group play and dominating the weekend, raising questions about the Shock’s slow start despite their big spend on Anna Bright. I cover the Columbus Sliders’ strong run with Parris Todd’s debut and their trade of Alix Truong for Judit Castillo and cash, plus Palm Beach’s feel-good moment as Grayson Goldin returns after two strokes and Sofia Sewing debuts successfully. I hit notes on Vegas, Atlanta, Miami, the Black Bears, Florida, and the winless Carolina Hogs while questioning the uneven pool format and calling for a salary floor. This recap has everything, so be sure to watch till the end!
