April 22, 2024 01:10 - 54 minutes - 47.5 MBHappy Holiday to Elliott and all who celebrate! Ron and Pete press on even as the Permanent Occasional Guest Host lives up to his title on a Saturday morning. The founders dissect the latest from the diamond, including the Cardinals' offensive woes and the White Sox's historic struggle at the plate. Is St. Louis's lack of run production just a phase, or are alarm bells ringing in the Gateway City? The guys pay homage to the late, great Whitey Herzog, reminiscing about his impact on the Car...

April 08, 2024 02:25 - 1 hour - 93 MBBuckle up, baseball aficionados, as the Team of Rivals Podcast unpacks the latest and greatest (or perhaps the worst) from MLB, including the bombshell that Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers might be the sport's biggest villains. The Cubs, on the other hand, are proving to be a delightful surprise, earning the title of one of the most objectively enjoyable teams to watch this season. This week, Ron, Elliott, and Pete take a turn down memory lane with a candid chat about which players from thei...

Season 8, Episode 5 – Claiming Stupid
March 24, 2024 21:11 - 37 minutes - 70 MBStrap in for a rollercoaster ride as Ron, Elliott, and Pete tackle the elephant in the room amid a sea of MLB chaos. In this episode, we're bypassing the usual banter on injuries and player movements to zone in on the Shohei Ohtani saga that's got the baseball world holding its breath. Is the golden boy of the Los Angeles Dodgers in a gambling mess, and if so, what does that mean for him, the team, and the integrity of the game? From the potential implications on Ohtani's mega contract to ...
Season 8, Episode 3 – No Baseball for Old Men
March 24, 2024 20:52 - 58 minutes - 81.5 MBIt's been a month since Ron, Elliott, and Pete have been willing to record, so they try their best to understand why. They discuss Scott Boras finally overplaying his hand, X/Twitter, Rob Manfred, and the new Nike jerseys, but it ultimately comes down to a lack of interest. You see, baseball has lost that lovin' feelin', and the guys try to get to the root of the matter. Is it the lack of moves this offseason? The new jerseys that look like the free ones they give away at games? Is it too ...
Season 8, Episode 4 – Baseball Hospice
March 24, 2024 20:06 - 55 minutes - 76.9 MBThe title says it all: THE WORST episode in our history, and the bar was already pretty low. (Let's be honest: It's all Pete's fault.) Where has our motivation gone for baseball? Ron, Elliott, and Pete try to figure out once again why they've lost their connection to our national pastime, while simultaneously mining the incredibly interesting topics of what the Cubs will do with their 40-man roster and Brandon Crawford checking into Busch Stadium III hospice. (Thoughts and prayers for his...
Season 8, Episode 4 - Baseball Hospice
March 02, 2024 16:15 - 55 minutes - 76.9 MBTitle says it all. THE WORST episode in our history. And that bar was pretty low. Where has our motivation gone for baseball? We try to figure that out as well as the ultra boring topic of what will the Cubs do with their 40 man roster. Brandon Crawford check into Busch Stadium III hospice. We hope he's okay. Sure you can find us on almost all pod catchers. I'm typing in all of those links. Pete's supposed to do that. Not live streaming these days so scratch that. If you want t...
Season 8, Episode 3 - No Baseball for Old Men
February 20, 2024 01:27 - 58 minutes - 81.5 MBBeen a month since they've been willing to record, and so they try their best to explain. Baseball has just lost that loving feeling and they try to get to the root of the matter. Is it lack of moves? The new jerseys that look like the free ones they give away at games? Too much exposure to the social media fandom? Sydney Sweeney? Nope, it's not her. So what is it? Follow us on X and Facebook at @teamofrivalspod. Check us out along with all of the other stuff over at gatewaycitysports...
Season 8, Episode 2 – Cub Your Enthusiasm!
January 16, 2024 23:12 - 1 hour - 92 MBCubs' fans inner fire got lit this week, but is that wise? The Cubs guys think so, but Ron throws some shade because he's seen this before (and he's a dick!) Former and current Cardinals pitchers are talking about Wilson Contreras and the tire tracks they left on his back last year. They are saying the right things now, but why didn't they do so last year? (Because they're full of shit?) And finally, a word of advice for the Bears: Don't f$&k up that first pick! Please? We live-streame...
Season 8, Episode 1 - A Concert? Really?
January 08, 2024 05:12 - 1 hour - 70.4 MBThe whole Team assembles this week to kick off the start of Season 8! Ron, Elliott, and Pete (with an assist from Ron's son, Braden) cover a lot of territory on this episode. In the midst of a potentially pivotal offseason, the Cardinals announce … a concert. Are the Cubs going to do anything with what's left of free agency? The fans on both sides of the rivalry are getting awfully whiny. And how will changes to streaming rights affect the Cards and the rest of Major League Baseball. BONUS...
Season 7, Episode 26 – Joey Bishop
December 30, 2023 11:00 - 34 minutes - 63.5 MBHow about a little holiday cheer while you prep for your New Year celebrations? One week before Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers, Ron and Pete jumped on to lament how frozen the market has been because of Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. And while he’s willing to admit that he was wrong about Ohtani’s skill level, Ron is not a fan. Same goes for Yamamoto. They also set the stage for the eventual rage podcast directed at both Jed and Mo. It’s going to be a fun Season Eight in 20...
Season 7, Episode 25 – All Hell Broke Loose!
November 26, 2023 12:40 - 53 minutes - 50.4 MBIn a super double secret probation type of way, Jed Hoyer pulled off a doozy right before this year's GM meetings. Nobody saw it coming, not even the "insiders": Craig Counsell is the new manager of the Chicago Cubs. He'll move 90 miles south and be $40 million richer for it. Be warned, though: A relationship with the Cubs can get weird. Just ask Dusty, Lou, Dale, Rick, Joe, Rossy… The Cardinals? Well, that isn't even interesting enough to call "weird". They have a ton of work to do. Wat...

November 08, 2023 01:56 - 53 minutes - 50.4 MBIn a super double secret probation type of way, Jed Hoyer pulled off a doozy right before this year's GM meetings. Nobody saw it coming. Not even the insiders. Craig Counsell is the new manager of the Chicago Cubs. He'll move 90 miles south and be $40M richer for it. Be warned though. A relationship with the Cubs can get wierd. Just ask Dusty, Lou, Dale, Rick, Joe and David. The Cardinals? Well, that isn't even interesting enough to call "wierd". They have a ton of work to do. W...
Season 7, Episode 24 – Turn Out the Lights
October 09, 2023 15:50 - 44 minutes - 82.1 MBOn the final Thursday of the regular season, Ron and Pete jumped on to discuss the Cubs' collapse and the impending end of the 2023 season. "God does not want us to be in the playoffs this year." And while Elliott didn't join with a live report from Atlanta, he did send a drunken message to you, the "Team of Rivals Peoples". The guys discuss the offseason math and speculate about the moves that both front offices will (and won't) make as, for the first time in the history of this podcast, ...
Season 7, Episode 23 – Face to Face
September 24, 2023 16:12 - 55 minutes - 52.7 MBAs the baseball season fizzles out, Ron and Pete get a chance to do a face-to-face show for the first time in five years. Yeah, it was kinda weird … and the Bears suck. They talk about the rapidly-approaching end to the 2023 baseball season: Will the Cubs hang on to a playoff spot, and is there anything left to say about the Cardinals that hasn't already been said? Cardinals fans are in the acceptance stage of their trauma, and there's more Shohei drama on the horizon. Finally, it looks ...
Season 7, Episode 22 – Don't Forget the Maintenance Agreement!
August 28, 2023 01:08 - 48 minutes - 48.1 MBTeam of Rivals on a Sunday?!?! When there's this much news to cover, Ron, Elliott, and Pete just can't wait until Thursday.

You heard a clip on this episode, so why not check out Talking Sports on the Bleachers with Don Glenn? Follow us on X, GETTR, and Instagram. Like us on Fa...
Season 7, Episode 21 – Cult Heroes & Legendary Names
August 19, 2023 17:12 - 48 minutes - 47.6 MBNine games separate our two clubs, so not much of a rivalry happening right now. The Cubs stay in it while the Cardinals do laps between 12 and 14 games under 500. So, who were the one-hit wonders who had a cult following in Chicago? Best player names? Did Mo really say they have to go out and find three new starters!? Oh, that's easy! Follow us on X, GETTR, and Instagram. Like us on Facebook.

Season 7, Episode 20 – 2015 Vibes?
August 14, 2023 02:50 - 1 hour - 128 MBThe Cubs have made an unexpected push and are hot on the heels of the first place Brewers, giving Pete 2015 vibes, but do other Cubs' fans feel the same? Meanwhile, the Cardinals have reclaimed their spot at the bottom of the division, but Ron's feeling good about Matthew LIberatore. Plus, ten days after the trade deadline, what do the guys think about their respective teams' moves, now that we've had time for it to sink in? We live-streamed this week, so you can rewatch this episode...
Season 7, Episode 19 – Deadline Duy
July 31, 2023 20:18 - 1 hour - 128 MBThe Trade Deadline is only 48 hours away, which is the only reason that Ron, Elliott, and Pete would record a podcast on a Sunday night. We recap the Cubs recent surge into playoff contention (and out of deadline selling), including a 6-2 run over the Cardinals, including an in-depth discussion of the stupidity that grew out of Ian Happ's ridiculously long back swing and Miles Mikolas' ridiculously selfish reaction. Plus, the Cardinals have started selling. When will they stop, and what will...
Season 7, Episode 18 – The Hamster Wheel
July 21, 2023 20:11 - 56 minutes - 54.5 MBThe Team can't decide which fans are in worse shape. Cubs fans? They're not sure which direction their team is headed. Cardinals fans? They're being patient (except on Twitter and Facebook) as ever. Will the Cardinals going to win just enough over the next ten days to allow the front office to do nothing? Will the Cubs do something about their infield corners, seeking any consistent threat in the middle of the order? One thing is for sure, in a boring season, these next two weeks hold th...
Season 7, Episode 17 – Trade Winds Are Blowing
July 14, 2023 20:53 - 42 minutes - 58.6 MBBig news in baseball as the John Mozeliak confirms that, for the first time in three decades, the Cardinals will be sellers at the trade deadline. But who will will be on the block, and will Cardinals Nation miss them when they're gone. Ron and Pete jump on this week to discuss that and the fact that the Cubs will be buyers this year. Or maybe sellers. Who knows? And stop us if you've heard this before, but Elliott missed this week's show. Rewatch this week’s show on YouTube, Rumble, or ...
Season 7, Episode 16 – Brits and Basebrawl
June 27, 2023 10:55 - 51 minutes - 47.7 MBStop us if you've heard this before, but Elliott wasn't able to make it this week, so The Streak ends at one. Ron and Pete jump on this week to discuss how little they are looking forward to this weekend's London Series and how poorly MLB seems to have marketed this year's event, especially when compared to the original Yankees-Red Sox edition in 2019. How did something that should have been so big sneak up on two die-hard fans? Is it a lack of hype, or is it the two teams' underperformanc...
Season 7, Episode 15 – Lowering the Floor
June 17, 2023 18:23 - 1 hour - 58.1 MBRon, Elliott, and Pete are back this week to discuss (once again!) just how far the mighty Cardinals have fallen. Have they hit rock bottom, or is there even further to fall? And while Elliott and Pete enjoy the pleasant diversion of the Cubs' recent run of good baseball, the schadenfreude is real, as they revel in which facet of the Cardinals organization is most responsible. Who gets the axe, and who actually deserves the axe? Follow us on Twitter, GETTR, and Instagram. Like us on Facebo...
Season 7 Bonus – STL City SC Talk with Tito!
June 17, 2023 18:04 - 30 minutes - 29.9 MBFinally someone will talk to Ron about football (soccer). He welcomes Tito Rivera (@triveratops) to talk about STL City SC's inaugural season and the impact it has had on the St. Louis community. As big as City has been to the region, MLS announced an even bigger addition this week, as the planet's best player, Lionel Messi, made the decision to join Inter Miami. Tito speculates what this could mean to the sport in North America. Follow us on Twitter, GETTR, and Instagram. Like us on Fa...
Season 7, Episode 14 – What Will the Cardinals Do?
June 17, 2023 17:08 - 54 minutes - 55.2 MBPete's off gallivanting around Georgia, so Mike "Moose" Stephenson of the Two for Three Podcast joined Ron and Elliott to dicusss this mess at the other end of I-55. Will the Cardinals actually be sellers for the first time in forever? Does that scare the $H!7 out of Cardinals fans? Because It should. The Cubs aren't exempt, but their fans didn't expect them to be. They'll be opening the clearance aisles soon enough. Follow us on Twitter, GETTR, and Instagram. Like us on Facebook. Check ...
Season 7, Episode 13 – The Cardinals Have Driven Me to This Insanity
June 03, 2023 15:28 - 39 minutes - 38.4 MBLet's start with the fact that The One Who Shall Not Be Named lives up to his title yet again this week. The last time both teams were this terrible was 1997! And with the Permanent Occasional Guest Host unavailable to provide play-by-play of an unearthed wrestling vdeo, Ron and Pete are left to laugh through the pain of the Cards and Cubs sharing last place in the NL Central. With a lack of positive news to discuss, they cover a wide range of topics, including front office failings, fre...
Season 7, Episode 12 – Out at the Plate
May 15, 2023 12:37 - 44 minutes - 45.3 MBPete wound Ron up and let him go this week, as the Cardinals' Willson Contreras-inspired drama dominated the headlines at both ends of the I-55 Rivalry.

Season 7, Episode 11 – This Pitching Staff … Sucks
May 06, 2023 12:21 - 48 minutes - 90 MBIt's STAR WARS DAY (May the Fourth Be With You), so of course Elliott is out this week. Ron and Pete go Old School anyway, discussing their Star Wars Weekend plans, the Cubs' prospect anticipation (welcome "Never Nervous Mervis" and Miggy Amaya!), and the Cardinals' worst-in-50-years performance. Finally, Pete gets Ron to play "If I Were in the Front Office" and welcomes him to honorary Cubs Fandom. Rewatch this week’s show on YouTube, Rumble, or Facebook. Follow us on Twitter, GETTR, an...
Season 7, Episode 10 – DRAFT DAY!
May 01, 2023 23:39 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBIt's Draft Day! The one and only thing Ron, Elliott, and Pete have in common is their "foos-ball" team. (Heavy discussion there…) Pete's predictions have been right so far … or have they? The Cardinals have looked terrible so far, the Cubs have been competitive, and are the Pirates for real? Baseball has been a struggle for all of the Midwestern teams (looking at you Sox fans), and deservedly so! Rewatch this week’s show on YouTube, Rumble, or Facebook. Follow us on Twitter, GETTR, and I...
Season 7, Episode 9 – 4.20!
April 21, 2023 18:18 - 57 minutes - 55.1 MBHappy 4/20 everyone! All three hosts made it to the show this week, navigating through the haze of smoke, the Cubs' entertaining start, and the Cardinals' failed launch. What else entertained them this week? MadBum's DFA, the Las Vegas A's, STL City SC, and speculation over the two lucky cities that will win an MLB franchise. Rewatch this week’s show on YouTube, Rumble, or Facebook. Follow us on Twitter, GETTR, and Instagram. Like us on Facebook. Check out Gateway City Sports and Tea...
Season 7, Episode 8 – Loud Noises!
April 01, 2023 14:45 - 53 minutes - 97.5 MBRon and Pete are both on the road this week, and Elliott is at the Blackhawks game. But it's Opening Day, so let's record an episode! Of course the Permanent Occasional Guest Host can't be bothered to join, so we go Old School, with a flashback to the podcast's early days - bad audio and all. Ron and Pete discuss Opening Day for both teams, as well as the obvious effects of the new rules. (Nineteen runs, 34 hits, and nine walks in only 3:38?!?!) They also talk about the Japanese Unicorn, a...
Season 7, Episode 7 – Decisions, Decisions
March 13, 2023 10:13 - 54 minutes - 52.4 MBIt's Old School Ron and Pete this week, with a couple of surprise appearances! Spring Training is in full swing, and the WBC kicks off. Concerns about the Cardinals pitching staff and questions about young talent on both sides of the rivalry are going to make it hard for both the Cubs and the Cards as they begin to whittle down their big league rosters. Follow us on Twitter, GETTR, and Instagram. Like us on Facebook. Check out Gateway City Sports and Team of Rivals Podcast online.
Season 7, Episode 6 – Forcing the Issue
March 02, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 59.4 MBThe Permanent Occasional Guest Host takes a week off, so it's an Old School Reunion. Ron and Pete recap their weekends with talk of St. Louis FC and the Fall of Pompeii. They finally get down to business and talk about MLB's post-RSN landscape and their thoughts after the first week of Spring Training. Finally, The Show Interruptor joins for what may become a permanent segment, Willson Watch. This week's show is brought to you by Michelob Ultra and Knobel Tennessee Whiskey. Follow us on ...

They discuss Tim McCarver's passing, Shohei Ohtani's future free agency (and a possible midseason trade?), and the sudden collapse of the Sinclair RSNs. Plus, they take on Joe West's inability to stay out of the spotlight in retirement. They wrap up the show with a rundown of their favorite Spring Training clichés and the rule changes that they are most (and least) looking ...
Season 7, Episode 4 – Stubborn
January 20, 2023 13:32 - 1 hour - 68.6 MBWith the conclusion of Cubs Con and Winter Warm-Up, Ron, Elliott, and Pete get together again for a post-conventions review. Are they feeling any more optimistic now that the annual feel-good gatherings have taken place? Does the ZIPS projection for the Cardinals make Ron feel better? Elliott feel worse? They also speculate about how the upcoming rules changes will affect the game, and Ron lights into Pete for his hardheadedness regarding Disney Star Wars. Follow us on Twitter, GETTR, and ...
Season 7, Episode 3 – Prestige Value
January 06, 2023 16:50 - 51 minutes - 48.9 MBRon, Elliott, and Pete kick off the New Year by catching up on the Cubs' free agent activity since our last epsiode. Do they take this seriously, and does Elliott feel better since his mid-December rant? The Cardinals addressed their biggest need (catcher), but then stopped. Are they working on something else? Hopefully it's starting pitching, but most likely they are "comfortable with who we have." Same BS, different year. Listen to the end for the Saga of Tony in Medina, Ohio. Follow u...
Season 7, Episode 1 – The 2022 Winter Meetings!
December 09, 2022 21:51 - 1 hour - 75.8 MBIt's one of the best times of the year for baseball fans! (Sorry, Pittsburgh and Kansas City.) The Winter Meetings finally returned to normal, and it was nuts! Unique this year for Cubs and Cardinals fans, but not unheard of (Mr. Fowler). A Cubs fan favorite moves to the other side of the rivalry, and the Team certainly has some strong feelings about that. Much more to talk about this week, with more moves still to come. We live-streamed this week, so you can rewatch this episode on YouTub...
Season 6, Episode 32 – A Massive Step Away from All This Crap
November 04, 2022 13:19 - 59 minutes - 56.6 MBRon and Pete jump on for what is likely the final podcast of the season during Game 5 of the 2022 World Series. With nothing on the line at this point in the playoffs, they turn their attention to what will likely be a busy offseason for both the Cubs and the Cardinals. Will the Cards swap defense for offense behind the plate? Is Mo really going to bump the payroll, and is that tied to Nolan Arenado's decision to leave millions on the table? How much of an impact will Jeff Albert's and ...
Season 6, Episode 31 – Frank Schwindel Went Out of His Mind
October 22, 2022 13:49 - 1 hour - 56.9 MBTeam of Rivals Assemble!

Season 6, Episode 30 – Most Valuable
October 07, 2022 16:20 - 57 minutes - 53.4 MBRon and Pete sit down to discuss the relative value of the two newly-minted home run records and why those numbers don't seem as important as they did two decades ago.

September 02, 2022 03:41 - 1 hour - 57.8 MBOn the eve of a Labor Day Weekend rivalry series, Ron and Pete get together for a bit of old-school ToR fun. (Elliott was out this week "packing s#!t" with his wife.) Three head cases in the news this week – Angel Hernandez, Carlos Martinez, and Willson Contreras – dominate the show before the guys (with a surprise Braden appearance) give their predictions for the outcome of this weekend's series and The Machine's chances at reaching 700 home runs. Plus, Pete throws out an idea for basebal...
Season 6, Episode 26 – John Overpaid Me
August 30, 2022 03:34 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBThis week's show was more crowded than usual. Ron, Elliott, and Pete were joined by B (in the middle of a fantasy draft) and Eric Haberer, a former AA pitcher for the Springfield Cardinals. DId Jed Hoyer send a message to David Ross that this is his house now? It would appear so, as Jason Heyward's career as a Cub is over. The Cardinals come off of a sweep against the Cubs and Yankees by allowing the altitude in Colorado to get the best of them. And what the hell did Cameron Maybin s...
Season 6, Episode 26 - John overpaid me
August 12, 2022 16:19 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBThis weeks show was more crowded than usual. Ron, Elliott and Pete were joined by B (in the middle of a fantasy draft) and Eric Haberer, a former AA pitcher for the Springfield Cardinals. Jed Hoyer sending a message to David Ross? "This is my house now!" Looking like JHey is done as a Cub when 2022 completes. The Cardinals coming off of a sweep against the Cubs and Yankees decided to let the altitude in Colorado get the best of them. And what the hell did Cameron Maybin say? Follow...
Season 6, Episode 25 – The "Hold My Beer" Deadline
August 03, 2022 03:02 - 49 minutes - 91.4 MBMLB looked at the wild-and-crazy end to the 2021 Trade Deadline and said "Hold my beer." Juan Soto went to the Padres in a blockbuster deal, and names were flying all over the United States (and Canada!), unless they were the Cubs' "big two" position players. Did the Cubs front office hold out for too much for Willson Contreras and Ian Happ? Or did the other 29 teams send a wake-up call to Cubs fans about just how good they REALLY are? Plus, what was your favorite moment of Juan Soto's Cardi...

July 30, 2022 22:00 - 47 minutes - 45.7 MBThe 2022 trade deadline approaches, and Juan Soto's sudden availability is topic #1.

July 15, 2022 15:03 - 57 minutes - 54.7 MBRon, Elliott, and Pete get together for a much more upbeat episode despite both the Cubs' and the Cards' futility. (Who knew that being in second place in a mediocre division could be so unsatisfying?) They take a deep dive into upcoming rules changes, All-Star uniforms, and the hazards of an unsupervised voice assistant around children. 2022 All-Star jerseys: https://www.mlb.com/news/2022-all-star-game-jerseys-nike Greg Maddux's "stirrups": https://www.google.com/search?q=greg+maddux&tb...
