S8E10 – Big Timers | 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.
Happy listening, and may your favorite teams exceed expectations –on the field and on the screen!

Season 8, Episode 8 – The Only Reason That We're Streaming Is to Annoy Ron | Team of Rivals Podcast
Gear up for another high-octane episode of the Team of Rivals Podcast, because the guys got up early on a Saturday because … well, just because!! Your favorite trio of die-hard baseball enthusiasts dissect the latest twists and turns of MLB with their signature blend of insight (ha!) and irreverence.
Ron, Elliott, and Pete dive headfirst into the rising costs of attending a Major League Baseball game, yet another baffling performance by Angel Hernandez, and the perplexing world of the St. Louis Cardinals. Treading water at .500, the guys dissect the team's performance, including the lackluster starts from key hitters and the promising debut of Sonny Gray. 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. With the team struggling to find the back of the net, Ron breaks down what's working, what's not, and whether the league has caught up to their tactics.
And finally: Are we a Saturday morning livestream?
