Team Of Rivals Podcast

Pete and Elliott thought they were going to have a nice, relaxing podcast talking about the Cubs offseason moves, the impending announcement of a new GM at 1060 West Addison, and the Ted Lasso season finale. Then the Shildt hit the fan. Brian Swope joins for an extended discussion of what went down on a Thursday afternoon in October, with a surprise vacation appearance from Ron!

A quick – albeit interesting – exit in the NL Wild Card Game brings a close to the 2021 season for the Team of Rivals. None of the guys were particularly surprised by the final outcome. (What did you expect facing a 106-win Dodgers team?) After a relatively short discussion of the game, the guys focus on where both teams came up short this season and where they think their front offices should (and not necessarily will) make moves this offseason.

The Cards have won 12 in a row heading into Wrigley for a four-game set this weekend. Their grip on the playoffs has tightened, but will playoff success slip through their fingers when they face the Dodgers or the Giants in the Wild Card Round? And will the Cubs let their tanking plan get in the way of ending a streak? Rewatch this week’s show on YouTube or Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. Follow us on Instagram. Like us on Facebook.

The Cardinals are winning again, so Ron loves baseball, and the Team of Rivals is back! Buckle up for a visit by Derek King as the guys discuss the Cards' resurgence and the Cubs' mediocrity, before taking a DEEP dive into St. Louis's lawsuit against the NFL. Follow Derek on Twitter.

With the Cardinals not losing games on purpose and the Cubs doing the opposite, the guys are a little beside themselves. Watching the games has become difficult, which makes talking about the sport that much more difficult. Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Instagram Like us on Facebook Check out Gateway City Sports

Derek King stops by this week to chat with Pete and Elliott about the rise and fall of the 2012-2021 Cubs, curious front office decisions, and what the future may hold for both teams. (Oh, yeah, Ron makes a late appearance after a 90-minute work call to China.) Check out Derek King on Twitter and Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. Follow us on Instagram Like us on Facebook.

In a week highlighted by a guest appearance by The Show Infiltrator, the Team of Rivals discusses the Cubs tanking and the Cards treading water. Which is worse? The Cardinals, winners of five of their last six, scramble to get into contention while the Cubs lose to anyone willing to play them. It's a case of both resignation and constipation if you're a Midwestern NL baseball fan these days. To participate in Little Hearts for Freedom, go to Eventbrite.

Pete jumped on with his good friend and dirty, dirty Sox fan, Alex Levine, to discuss the trade deadline and its impact on Southsiders.

Ron, Pete, and Elliott jump on this week to recap the late July Cubs-Cardinals series and to speculate about what's coming for both teams at the Trade Deadline. Who is the most likely Cub to stay put, or will Jed Hoyer tear it all down? Will the Cardinals add or subtract next week? Rewatch this week’s show on YouTube or Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

What a ride! A series of moves in a short amount of time took us right up to the wire for the Team's post-trade deadline analysis of the Cubs, Cardinals, and other moves around Major League Baseball. Gone are the Cubs Big Three, while the Cardinals welcome a former foe. Joining us on this week's show was long-time listener and friend of the show, Sam Smith (Twitter: @SamSmitty9).

Joc Pederson, we hardly knew ya! Joc and his mustache are on the move to Atlanta for a power-hitting prospect, leading the Team of Rivals to ask the important questions: Who is next? And how many days until the StacheCast? Plus, will the Cardinals make any upgrades? And just how terrible is the All-Star Game? All that and more in this week's episode.

Pete returns to the Team of Rivals after last week's "procedure", and he leads Ron and Elliott right into a discussion of the Doom Boners on both sides of the I-55 rivalry. Just how much longer will Jed and Mo wait before they make a move? Should they? The guys also discuss the effect of the sticky stuff crackdown, Bobby Bonilla Day, and Ron's appreciation for a childhood hero. Rewatch this week’s show on YouTube or Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

Moose Michaels joins Ron and Elliott at the beginning of this week's show to talk about this Cardinals team. The Cardinals are a mess all around, with so many problems it's hard to point to a few things that could be the cause. What do they do, and do they see the empty seats in Busch III? The Cubs, on the other hand, have played well enough to share the top spot in the NL Central. (Bet they wish they still had Yu!)

This week, the Team asks, "The Cardinals are underachieving, or are they? The Cubs are exceeding expectations; should we have doubted them?" Attendance is surprisingly low in St. Louis this last week, as the ballpark comes back to full capacity. Blackouts are one of many things that have us worried about the health of the game. After a brief break, Pete shares his experience at Galaxy's Edge, and the guys talk Loki and The Bad Batch. Watch this week's show on YouTube. Follow us on Twitter. Follow us on Instagram.

Ron and Elliott were joined this week by Dan Buffa and Holy Elle. The Cardinals injury list dominates the conversation up front, but this week's show took some strange twists and turns as we went from Cardinals talk to how the world would be a better place with less violence and more masturbation. Pretty good advice actually… Follow us on Twitter. Follow us on Instagram. Like us on Facebook. Check out Gateway City Sports.

What a difference a month makes… At the start of May, the Cubs were alone in last place, and the Cubs fans (especially Pete) were ready to watch it burn. Fast forward to today, and Ron has to endure 45 minutes of gloating, on top of his own frustration at the Cardinals incomplete pitching. Plus, on the 18th anniversary of Sammy Sosa's corked bat explosion, the guys discuss MLB's apparent shift on pitchers' use of foreign substances. Rewatch this week’s show on YouTube or Facebook.

The whole ToR crew is back to discuss the upcoming Cubs-Cardinals series, swing porn, robots umpires, Albert Pujols, and Tony LaRussa's baffling managerial performance on the South Side of Chicago. They wrap up the show by celebrating the quiet promotion of Dave Filoni to Executive Creative Director at Lucasfilm.

A rough patch for the Cards, combined with a Cubs hot streak, has brought the NL Central to a virtual dead heat. With Elliott out this week, Ron and Pete go Old School to discuss the first Cubs-Cards weekend series, another Miles Mikolas injury, and another absolutely CRAZY Javy Baez play on the bases.   Javy runs wild.   Rewatch this week’s show on YouTube or Facebook.   Follow us on Twitter.

With no Pete to distract from the real issue, Ron and Elliott unload about a deserter's return and what the future holds for The Bad Batch. Rewatch the full show on YouTube or Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. Follow us on Instagram. Like us on Facebook.
