TeamOfRivalsPodcast

After a two-week hiatus, the Team returns – with a remote call-in by Elliott! – to discuss the miserable state of baseball in the NL Central, the retirement of Angel Hernandez, and more. First up, Ron and Pete tackle the current state of the NL Central. It's no secret that the division has been struggling, and they break down exactly why it's been so disappointing. Ron sums it up perfectly: "The NL Central is terrible. I mean, just utterly, utterly terrible." Next, they shift focus to the Chicago White Sox. With their season in a downward spiral, is it possible that they set a new record for losses, and is it okay for fans to root for such futility? But it's not all doom and gloom! In this week's installment of Ron's Soccer Minute, they dive into the exhilarating world of soccer. St. Louis City SC recently faced off against Inter Miami, and what a match it was! Lionel Messi, one of the greatest players of all time, showcased his incredible skills. Even though the match ended in a draw, it was a thrilling experience for fans and a testament to the growing popularity of soccer in the U.S. Chip Caray follows in his grandfather's footsteps, leading to a ToR brainstorm of a million-dollar idea that could revolutionize the ticket resale market. Imagine a platform where you can choose to sit next to someone attractive who shares your interests. It's a combination of ticket resales and a dating site, and we think it has the potential to be a game-changer. Which old man yells at clouds and why? Stick around to the end to find out...

In this week's episode, Ron and Pete tackle a whirlwind of topics, all while Pete battles a severe case of sleep deprivation. From managing a thousand kids at the Field Museum and Navy Pier, to the disappointment of a rained-out Cardinals vs. Cubs game, the duo navigates through a myriad of sports and personal anecdotes. They dive into the implications of the missed game, the missed opportunity to hear Chip Caray and Joe Buck call a game together, and the frustration of paying for an MLB.TV subscription only to not watch the game due to rain. The conversation takes a deeper turn as they discuss the state of pitching in Major League Baseball, with insights from a recent article on The Athletic featuring Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander. Ron and Pete lament the shift away from traditional starting pitchers and the over-reliance on analytics that prioritize velocity over longevity and strategy. They also touch on the increasing frequency of Tommy John surgeries among young pitchers and the impact of strict pitch counts in youth baseball. "Ron's Soccer Minute" (which is never just a minute) offers an update on St. Louis CITY SC's recent struggles and his anticipation for their upcoming match against Seattle. He also shares exciting news about potential new signings from the Bundesliga and Sydney FC, which could bolster the team's attacking options. Whether you're here for the latest sports takes, candid banter, or just to hear Ron and Pete's unique perspectives, this episode has it all.

In this May the 4th special, the Team of Rivals Podcast takes the celebration outdoors, embracing the beauty of Chicago's spring while diving headfirst into the world of sports and Star Wars. With Elliott MIA once again, Ron and Pete hold down the fort, discussing everything from the Cardinals' broadcast woes to the Cubs' unexpected position in the NL Central. They also delve into the curious case of Nike's MLB uniform mishaps and the implications for merch sales. The duo doesn't shy away from a little intergalactic banter, with Ron sharing his plans for Star Wars Night at a minor league game and Pete reminiscing about French-dubbed Star Wars.

Despite some (unsurprising and inevitable) technical hiccups and the absence of our Permanent Occasional Guest Host, Elliott, Ron and Pete take the reins to dissect the highs and lows of the baseball world, from the Cardinals' tenuous position in the NL Central race to the Cubs' surprising tenacity. The duo delves into the curious case of ticket sales in St. Louis, debating whether the dip is due to scheduling, weather, or a deeper discontent with the Cardinals' performance. They also ponder the enigma of player development, with a spotlight on the rollercoaster ride of rookie expectations. The conversation veers into the NFL Draft, as the enthusiasm for the Bears' picks is palpable, and Pete contemplates the implications of a potential shake-up to the Star Wars universe. Ron's Soccer Minute (which is never just a minute) offers an update on St. Louis CITY SC's bye week blues and the anticipation for their next face-off against the Houston Dynamo.

Happy Holiday to Elliott and all who celebrate! Ron and Pete press on even as the Permanent Occasional Guest Host lives up to his title on a Saturday morning. The founders dissect the latest from the diamond, including the Cardinals' offensive woes and the White Sox's historic struggle at the plate. Is St. Louis's lack of run production just a phase, or are alarm bells ringing in the Gateway City? The guys pay homage to the late, great Whitey Herzog, reminiscing about his impact on the Cardinals and the broader baseball landscape. They ponder the future of MLB managers and whether the era of the revered skipper is fading into the sunset. Tyler O'Neill's latest IL stint sparks a debate on player durability and fan patience, while "Ron's Soccer Minute" takes an unexpected turn into a full-blown analysis of St. Louis CITY SC's current season challenges.

Will the Cardinals find their stride, or is change in the air? Meanwhile, the Brewers and Pirates are off to surprisingly strong starts, but the guys are skeptical. Are they true contenders, or will the rigors of the season reveal their true colors? Ron vents his frustrations with former Cardinal Tyler O'Neill. Is he – yet another – missed opportunity, or just another case of unfulfilled potential? In yet another episode of "Ron's Soccer Minute", the conversation takes a surprising detour as Pete joins Ron in a passionate analysis of St. Louis CITY's season so far.

Buckle up, baseball aficionados, as the Team of Rivals Podcast unpacks the latest and greatest (or perhaps the worst) from MLB, including the bombshell that Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers might be the sport's biggest villains. The Cubs, on the other hand, are proving to be a delightful surprise, earning the title of one of the most objectively enjoyable teams to watch this season. This week, episode Ron, Elliott, and Pete take a turn down memory lane with a candid chat about which players from their beloved teams irk them the most. From current nuisances to historical headaches, no player is safe from their unfiltered critiques. And if that wasn't enough for you, the guys also take aim at the announcer's booth, praising the calls of Boog Sciambi and debating the merit of the voices that bring the game to life. Plus, a shocking revelation about the Oakland A's future home has the trio contemplating a road trip that could go down in podcast legend.

Step up to the plate with the Team of Rivals as they tackle the highs and lows of MLB's opening day. The Cardinals may have had a rough start against the Dodgers, but Ron, Elliott, and Pete aren't losing hope just yet. They're breaking down the Cardinals' struggle against the Dodgers and the Cubs' face-off with the World Series champion Rangers.

Strap in for a rollercoaster ride as Ron, Elliott, and Pete tackle the elephant in the room amid a sea of MLB chaos. In this episode, we're bypassing the usual banter on injuries and player movements to zone in on the Shohei Ohtani saga that's got the baseball world holding its breath. Is the golden boy of the Los Angeles Dodgers in a gambling mess, and if so, what does that mean for him, the team, and the integrity of the game? From the potential implications on Ohtani's mega contract to the eerie silence from MLB's top brass, we dissect the swirling rumors and the deafening lack of concrete information. Plus, we can't help but draw parallels to historical precedents and wonder aloud about the possible double standards at play. As we ponder the future of baseball's poster boy, we also touch upon the state of the sport at the grassroots level, and how the game's changing landscape might be impacting its very soul. Join Ron, Pete, and Elliot as they delve deep into the controversy, share their unfiltered opinions, and even bring in some legal expertise to shed light on the contractual complexities involved.

It's been a month since Ron, Elliott, and Pete have been willing to record, so they try their best to understand why. They discuss Scott Boras finally overplaying his hand, X/Twitter, Rob Manfred, and the new Nike jerseys, but it ultimately comes down to a lack of interest. You see, baseball has lost that lovin' feelin', and the guys try to get to the root of the matter. Is it the lack of moves this offseason? The new jerseys that look like the free ones they give away at games? Is it too much exposure to social media fandom? Sydney Sweeney? (No, it's DEFINITELY not her!) So what is it?

The title says it all: THE WORST episode in our history, and the bar was already pretty low. (Let's be honest: It's all Pete's fault.) Where has our motivation gone for baseball? Ron, Elliott, and Pete try to figure out once again why they've lost their connection to our national pastime, while simultaneously mining the incredibly interesting topics of what the Cubs will do with their 40-man roster and Brandon Crawford checking into Busch Stadium III hospice. (Thoughts and prayers for his well-being.) Yeah, they talk about the cancellation of Respawn's Star Wars game, Scott Boras, Shohei Ohtani, City FC, and the Bears quarterback situation, but it all comes back to a loss of sports passion.

The whole Team assembles this week to kick off the start of Season 8! Ron, Elliott, and Pete (with an assist from Ron's son, Braden) cover a lot of territory on this episode. In the midst of a potentially pivotal offseason, the Cardinals announce … a concert. Are the Cubs going to do anything with what's left of free agency? The fans on both sides of the rivalry are getting awfully whiny. And how will changes to streaming rights affect the Cards and the rest of Major League Baseball.

Cubs' fans inner fire got lit this week, but is that wise? The Cubs guys think so, but Ron throws some shade because he's seen this before (and he's a dick!) Former and current Cardinals pitchers are talking about Wilson Contreras and the tire tracks they left on his back last year. They are saying the right things now, but why didn't they do so last year? (Because they're full of shit?) And finally, a word of advice for the Bears: Don't f$&k up that first pick! Please?

How about a little holiday cheer while you prep for your New Year celebrations? One week before Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers, Ron and Pete jumped on to lament how frozen the market has been because of Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. And while he’s willing to admit that he was wrong about Ohtani’s skill level, Ron is not a fan. Same goes for Yamamoto. They also set the stage for the eventual rage podcast directed at both Jed and Mo. It’s going to be a fun Season Eight in 2024.

In a super double secret probation type of way, Jed Hoyer pulled off a doozy right before this year's GM meetings. Nobody saw it coming, not even the "insiders": Craig Counsell is the new manager of the Chicago Cubs. He'll move 90 miles south and be $40 million richer for it. Be warned, though: A relationship with the Cubs can get weird. Just ask Dusty, Lou, Dale, Rick, Joe, Rossy… The Cardinals? Well, that isn't even interesting enough to call "weird". They have a ton of work to do.

On the final Thursday of the regular season, Ron and Pete jumped on to discuss the Cubs' collapse and the impending end of the 2023 season. "God does not want us to be in the playoffs this year." And while Elliott didn't join with a live report from Atlanta, he did send a drunken message to you, the "Team of Rivals Peoples". The guys discuss the offseason math and speculate about the moves that both front offices will (and won't) make as, for the first time in the history of this podcast, neither team will participate in the postseason. They wrap up the night by switching to football talk and commiserating over the embarrassment that is the 2023 Chicago Bears.

As the baseball season fizzles out, Ron and Pete get a chance to do a face-to-face show for the first time in five years. Yeah, it was kinda weird … and the Bears suck. They talk about the rapidly-approaching end to the 2023 baseball season: Will the Cubs hang on to a playoff spot, and is there anything left to say about the Cardinals that hasn't already been said? Cardinals fans are in the acceptance stage of their trauma, and there's more Shohei drama on the horizon. Finally, it looks like it's going to be a long season for Bears fans, which means that the $300 Ron dropped on Sunday Ticket was a gamble he lost.

Team of Rivals on a Sunday?!?! When there's this much news to cover, Ron, Elliott, and Pete just can't wait until Thursday. So here you are, a rare Sunday episode that talks about the big unicorn in the room, a terrible hand of Cards, too much analytics, Jordan WicKKKKKKKKKs, City SC, and the embarrassment on the South Side of Chicago.

Pete was right last week: The Cards are now nine games back of the Cubs. With the rivalry somewhat on ice this season, what else can the guys talk about? How about Cubs' fans penchant for turning one-year wonders into cult heroes and the Cardinals long history of legendary names. The guys do talk a little bit about this week's news, including Christopher Morel's walk-off joy and Mo saying that the Cards (only) have to go out and find THREE new starters!

The Cubs have made an unexpected push and are hot on the heels of the first place Brewers, giving Pete 2015 vibes, but do other Cubs' fans feel the same? Meanwhile, the Cardinals have reclaimed their spot at the bottom of the division, but Ron's feeling good about Matthew LIberatore. Plus, ten days after the trade deadline, what do the guys think about their respective teams' moves, now that we've had time for it to sink in?

The Trade Deadline is only 48 hours away, which is the only reason that Ron, Elliott, and Pete would record a podcast on a Sunday night. We recap the Cubs recent surge into playoff contention (and out of deadline selling), including a 6-2 run over the Cardinals, including an in-depth discussion of the stupidity that grew out of Ian Happ's ridiculously long back swing and Miles Mikolas' ridiculously selfish reaction. Plus, the Cardinals have started selling. When will they stop, and what will this team look like on Wednesday morning. Finally, have you wished The Birthday Boy a happy one yet? If not, why not?

The Team can't decide which fans are in worse shape. Cubs fans? They're not sure which direction their team is headed. Cardinals fans? They're being patient (except on Twitter and Facebook) as ever. Will the Cardinals going to win just enough over the next ten days to allow the front office to do nothing? Will the Cubs do something about their infield corners, seeking any consistent threat in the middle of the order? One thing is for sure, in a boring season, these next two weeks hold the promise of change for both sides. OR NOT!
