Just Tell the Story | Season 8, Episode 15
In this week's episode, we mark a momentous day in Team of Rivals history – Elliott was in the room before Ron!
We kick things off with some friendly banter about Ron's ongoing tech struggles, Elliott's surprising punctuality, and the scorching weather in Charlotte. But don't worry, we quickly shift gears to tackle some hot-button topics in the world of baseball.
First up, we discuss the controversial use of defensive positioning cards and how they impact the game. Pete and Ron share their frustrations with the over-reliance on analytics and the loss of the storytelling aspect that once made baseball so captivating. We also touch on the recent Rickwood game and the nostalgic broadcast that had fans buzzing. Was it a glimpse into what baseball broadcasts should be?
Then, we dive into the state of pitching in Major League Baseball. With insights from a recent article on The Athletic, we explore how pitch labs and advanced analytics are changing the game, for better or worse. Are pitchers becoming too dominant, and is it time for batters to get back to basics?
We also can't ignore the elephant-sized head in the room – Barry Bonds making the Rickwood game all about himself. We dissect his comments and share a few laughs at his expense. Plus, we reminisce about some legendary stories involving Willie Mays, Satchel Paige, and Bob Gibson.
Finally, we get into some wild trade ideas to shake up the Cubs and Cardinals rosters. Ron suggests a controversial move that would have X/Twitter in flames, while Pete proposes a bold trade involving some fan favorites. And Elliott? Well, he's just hoping for some bullpen help to stop the Cubs' late-game collapses.

S8EB1 – Rooting for 123 | Team of Rivals Podcast
In this special bonus episode of the Team of Rivals Podcast, we break from our usual schedule to bring you an in-depth conversation with Pete's friend and Dirty Dirty White Sox Fan, Alex Levine. As both the Cubs and Cardinals struggle to stay relevant, we dive into the dismal state of Chicago White Sox baseball and explore the emotional turmoil of being a fan of a team in freefall.
First, we reminisce about the optimism surrounding the Craig Kimbrell trade three years ago and how quickly things went south. Alex shares his candid thoughts on the White Sox's current struggles, the failure of Pedro Grifol's managerial tenure, and the deep-rooted issues within the organization. From the disastrous 2023 season to the potential for setting new records of futility in 2024, we leave no stone unturned.
We also discuss the broader implications of Jerry Reinsdorf's ownership, the missed opportunities in free agency, and the controversial hiring of Tony La Russa. Alex provides a sobering look at the future of the franchise, including the prospect of a move to Nashville and what it means for die-hard fans.
Whether you're a White Sox fan looking for a therapy session or just a baseball enthusiast interested in the inner workings of a struggling franchise, this episode is a must-listen.

S8E14 – Old Man Yells at Clouds | Team of Rivals Podcast
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...

S8E13 – I'm on No Sleep! |Team of Rivals Podcast
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.

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.

Season 8, Episode 7 – Who Do You Hate? | Team of Rivals Podcast
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.

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.
Don't miss out on the banter, insights, and the occasional off-topic rant.

Season 8, Episode 5 – Claiming Stupid [Audio Only] | Team of Rivals Podcast
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.

Season 8, Episode 3 – No Baseball for Old Men [Audio Only] | Team of Rivals Podcast
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?

Season 8, Episode 4 – Baseball Hospice [Audio Only] | Team of Rivals Podcast
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.

Season 8, Episode 1 – A Concert? Really? [AUDIO ONLY] | Team of Rivals Podcast
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.

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!

Season 7, Episode 26 – Joey Bishop | Team of Rivals Podcast
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.

Season 7, Episode 25 – All Hell Broke Loose! | Team of Rivals Podcast
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.

Season 7, Episode 24 – Turn Out the Lights | Team of Rivals Podcast
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.

Season 7, Episode 21 – Cult Heroes & Legendary Names | Team of Rivals Podcast
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!
