Season 8, Episode 16 – At the Break

Team of Rivals Podcast

The I-55 Rivalry resumes, the All-Star Break looms, and Ron, Pete, and even Elliott dive into the chaos of a Saturday doubleheader, where the Cubs have already taken a beating, and it's only the fourth inning of Game 1.

They kick things off with a recap of the Cubs' disastrous start and the Cardinals' surprising lead. Ron and Pete discuss the mishaps, errors, and unfortunate plays that led to the Cubs' downfall in the early innings. With Elliott joining – err, remotely – you'll get a unique perspective on the game and some humorous commentary on his multitasking skills.

Next, the Team shifts gears to talk about the state of baseball attendance, particularly in St. Louis. Despite a historically strong fan base, the empty seats at Busch Stadium are a stark reminder of the challenges facing the Cardinals' organization. Ron and Pete speculate on what it will take to bring the fans back and revive the excitement for baseball in St. Louis.

The guys also delve into the upcoming MLB draft and the trade deadline, pondering the potential moves that could shake up the Cubs and Cardinals rosters. Will the Cardinals make a bold move to reignite their fan base? Can the Cubs find the missing pieces to turn their season around? They discuss the possibilities and share their thoughts on what the future holds for both teams.

And finally, in this week's Soccer Minute, Ron gives an update on St. Louis City SC's challenging season. With injuries plaguing the team and a recent coaching change, the road ahead looks tough. However, new signings and the upcoming League Cup provide a glimmer of hope.
