Team of Rivals Podcast
You thought you were getting a break from us for a couple of weeks. (And, honestly, we were looking forward to a break from you.) But here we are.

We do a quick hit on everything that’s happened over the last four days before we send you back into your holiday haze. Short episode. Loose agenda. Zero promises. 📺 Watch the Livestream: | | | 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott | Ron | ...

Wrap It Up! | S9E46
Team of Rivals Podcast
Ron’s off this week — courtesy of a shiny new promotion and actual responsibilities — so the Cardinals portion of the show is short, accurate, and probably the most honest segment we’ve ever done. Pete and Elliott open with a Winter Meetings “recap” of St. Louis’s extremely quiet week before pivoting into all the Cubs news, rumors, almost-rumors, and projected hopes and dreams. Plus, the Bears did… well… things, so we talk about that too. A quick, sarcastic wrap-up of the week in Chicago and St. Louis sports — minus Ron, but plus jokes about Ron. 📺 Watch the Livestream: ...

info_outlineGear 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?
