    At The Break! | S9E26

    We're at the All-Star Break and it's that time of year where we can assess the damage. The Cardinals have been a pleasant surprise while the Cubs sit atop the NL Central. Cubs need starting pitching and Ron came prepared with his recommendations. in his view, the Cubs could more ground ball inducing arms and take advantage of the stellar defense up the middle. And they don't have to look far for the solve. The Cardinals? They need to try to clear the deck and make room for youth and development. You know, what they said they were going to do last Winter. STL City SC finally won a match along with a few big Summer transfers. #FallouFall Check out this week’s livestream on YouTube, Rumble, Facebook, or X.

    Howdy, Pilgrim | S9E25

    This week Ron, Elliott, and Pete welcome back special guest Dustin “The Duke” Duquenne as they dive headfirst into last weekend's fireworks at Wrigley, highlighted by an eight-homer beatdown of the Cardinals on the Fourth of July that set league and franchise records (for both teams!). As Elliott, Duke, and Pete gleefully recap every bomb, Ron copes with the Cardinals’ ongoing rotation mismanagement – why hasn't Sonny Gray faced the Cubs this year? – and the baffling decision to keep running Miles Mikolas and Erick Fedde out to the mound. Duke brings the chaos, sparking classic banter and adding fuel to the fire during All-Star snub season. The guys vent about Seiya Suzuki’s absence from the roster, Michael Busch’s case over Freddie Freeman, and the absurdity of fan voting, especially when it gifts Ronald Acuña Jr. a starting spot with only 42 games played. Pete pays tribute to the late Lee Elia with a dramatic, profanity-laced replay of Elia's legendary 1983 tirade – a masterclass in manager meltdowns. They also touch on Andre Dawson’s birthday, Wrigley’s misunderstood park factors, and the absolute dumpster fire that is Cardinals Twitter/X. Other highlights include: A trade deadline preview and what the Cubs and Cardinals might doMic’d-up players and the awkward Sunday Night Baseball conversation with Masyn WinnThe Nationals’ bizarre front office purgeRob Manfred’s push for a salary cap and how that might actually workA nostalgic detour into He-Man toys and 80s cartoon logicRon’s Soccer Minute: City SC's woes continue, with little hope coming via the transfer window Whether you're basking in Cubs euphoria or buried under Cardinals frustration, this episode delivers laughs, rants, and the kind of unfiltered takes you’ve come to expect from the Team of Rivals.

    Happy Bonilla Day! | S9E24

    It’s the most magical of baseball holidays: Bobby Bonilla Day! Baseball’s most legendary deferred payment continues, and Pete has the updated list of players who will be cashing checks long after their cleats hit the shelf. Bobby may have been the first, but he’s no longer alone. Meanwhile, the trade deadline is just a month away, but you'd never know it. After what looked like a hot start (Rafael Devers), the stove is lukewarm at best, and the rumor mill is oddly quiet. Should we be concerned, or are the GMs just waiting each other out? Both the Cardinals and Cubs are trending up, but with very different outlooks. Elliott and Pete are both on board with the Cubs buying — aggressively, if possible — but Ron is still waiting on the Cardinals to make good on their promise to clear the deck and let the kids take the wheel. Finally, peer pressure pays off, as Pete has agreed to watch Andor. Yes, really. But before you question his judgment, he redeems himself by delivering the finest outro in ToR history. You be the judge. Check out this week’s livestream on YouTube, Rumble, Facebook, or X. Follow us on X and Instagram. Like us on Facebook.

    Hot to the Touch | S9E22

    The 2024 trade season has NOTHING on 2025! Luis Arraez may have been traded in May 2024, but Rafael Devers goes to the Giants in mid-June?! Ron, Elliott, and Pete dissect what they think this means for the Cubs, the Cards, and this year's trade deadline. Plus, the most subdued Soccer Minute you've ever heard.

    Back at It! | S9E21

    After a week of vacation and old man procedures, all three hosts are back at it. The Cardinals seem to be leveling off, while the Cubs have upped their NL Central lead a bit. Are the Cubs better off with Ian Happ at leadoff, or is PCA the better – and more traditional – choice? The Cards won a series this week against MLB's darling franchise, but then ran into a very good Toronto squad. The Cubs are already dabbling in the trade market, but are any teams willing to sell so soon? And are the Cardinals in the selling market yet? Will they be come July? They may put themselves there soon if their pitching starts to become an issue. Finally, is there a universe this year where they will actually be buyers? Ron says No. Plus, Pete dabbles in pop culture and beefs with the Lucasfilm story group… because they're just making shit up. Check out The 4K77 Project.

    Call it What You Want! | S9E20

    The Cardinals and Cubs are winning—and the ToR crew is actually in a good mood. For now. Before diving into baseball, the guys kick things off with a detour into movies and TV, living up to their promise: “everything you want to hear, from the big sports to the big screen.” Expect unsolicited recommendations, sharp takes, and Pete’s signature brand of film snobbery. Ron falls for a fake PED rumor about PCA (oops), while Pete and Elliott surprise everyone by staying weirdly reasonable about the Cubs’ early success. Ron shares his Cardinals optimism—despite being blacked out by MLB’s truly diabolical streaming policies. How long will the good vibes last? Tap play and enjoy them while you can.

    Is this Real? | S9E19

    Pete's back, and he has questions. With Elliott mere hours away from vacation and madly packing the Family Truckster, Ron and Pete dive deep into the world of baseball and beyond, tackling everything from the clown show in St. Louis to the Cubs' continued early-season success to the Cardinals' surprising stretch of good baseball. The show starts with a disheartening Soccer Minute as Ron delivers a perfectly-timed rant on City's lack of direction. The duo then shares their thoughts on the Cubs' "other" superstar and whether he can maintain his impressive form as the season progresses. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as they reminisce about past baseball stars and compare them to the current crop of talent, pondering the significance of superstars in today’s game. They also touch on the importance of strong defense and how it can impact a team's success. Elliott makes a surprise appearance at the end of the show for a discussion about Andor's place in the Star Wars universe and the impact – both good and bad – of new streaming series on beloved franchises.
