Team of Rivals Podcast

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. Whether you're a baseball purist, a football fanatic, or just here for the laughs, this episode serves up a smorgasbord of sports insights and candid banter.
