    Eliminated: The Offseason Looms

    The Grand Rapids Rise fell 2-3 to the Orlando Valkyries in their home finale and were eliminated from the playoffs later in the weekend. It's frustrating that a team playing much better ball down the stretch could not overcome early season losses and injuries. I begin to discuss my thoughts on the offseason and what could or could not loom with the Rise coaches and players this offseason. What do you think? If you had to pick only a few core players to return for sure, who would they be? Let me know by writing the show at embersnest@gmail.com, or on Instagram @embersnestpod.

    Playoff Scenarios and Team Performance: A Blitz!

    The description should be short because so is the episode! The Rise would not be eliminated with a loss tomorrow but they need the win as far as this podcast is concerned. The playoff scenarios are confusing without the loss! What do you think about the Rise playing their best ball at this time of year? Will it be enough?

    Your Guide to A Rise Game as The Slide Continues

    I sat everywhere there was to sit in Van Andel to let you know where the best and worst places are to take in a Grand Rapids Rise game! Unfortunately, though the team is playing much better than at earlier points in the season, it was not enough as the Rise fell to Dallas at home before going on the road to Omaha where they fell to the Supernovas. What keeps you watching as the Rise find themselves squarely out of the playoff conversation? I would love if we knew who was returning next season so we could get invested in their development down the stretch of the season, but that's just how it goes in a league which is still new on the scene. Sound off and let me know what you think!

    Still Locked In?

    The Rise pull off a 3-1 stretch to make things slightly more interesting, but even if they continue at that pace, will it be enough? Listen to hear my thoughts about a 3rd offensive option and thoughts about the different lineups the Rise have been deploying. A special thank you to the best listeners around-- listener Tom predicted some changes! The Ember's Nest Podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

    Up and Down

    We're two games into the Morgan Hentz tenure on the Grand Rapids Rise, and we've got two lopsided results: on the front end there's a Rise sweep over Atlanta just a day after the trade, but a week later the Rise get swept in Dallas. What do you think about the recent results for the Rise? Listen to hear my thoughts! Let me know yours in the comments on social media or by writing the show, embersnest@gmail.com.

    EMERGENCY POD: Rise Trade Oglivie, 1st round pick for Morgan Hentz

    The biggest trade of the season just took place, The Grand Rapids Rise traded standout Libero Elena Oglivie and their 1st round selection for 2026 to the Omaha Supernovas for 2 time MLV Libero of the year Morgan Hentz. I found this trade initially head scratching as Oglivie had what I thought was a great year and a half in Grand Rapids, but I'll never complain about adding an elite player to the team. The question is, was the price paid worth it? Will Morgan Hentz help the Rise rise (pun intended) to new heights as they look to move up in the standings? Only time will tell. One thing is for certain: Being an MLV fan sure is never boring! What did you think of the trade? Some feedback is shared here, but let me know what you think in comments on social platforms or by emailing the show, embersnest@gmail.com.

    The Rise Fall to Orlando and Omaha, Plus a State of the League Address

    The Rise fall to Orlando by a more convincing margin than the first time and then follow it up with a Carli Snyder-less loss to Omaha. The postgame press conference was quite interesting and seemed to indicate to me that the team may not be firing on all cylinders. Am I making something out of nothing, or is there more to do, even when Carli Snyder returns to the lineup?
