Team of Rivals Podcast

The weekly group therapy session is open. This week, Ron, Elliott, and Pete dig deep into the psychological damage caused by the #2 farm system in all of baseball, PCA's quest for 40-40 (50-50?), dysfunctional owners (Moreno and Kroenke), and the one thing that could actually get Ron to root for the Cubs this season. Plus, an extended Ron's Soccer Minute, as we explore Elliott's descent into further madness. Did we talk about tilted hats? I'm afraid we've run out of time… Come back next week. Maybe we'll actually solve something. 📺 Watch the Livestream: YouTube | Rumble | Facebook | X 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott @ToR_Elliott | Ron @ToR_Ron75 | @TheParkSTL 📧 Email: [email protected]

Pete Crow-Armstrong is on an absolutely ridiculous heater, and Cubs fans are loving every second of it. Everyone else? Not so much. This week, the Team of Rivals crew tackles the men you love to hate — from PCA and Yadier Molina to Dodgers owner Mark Walter and Alexander Isak. We get into why PCA has quickly become the kind of player opposing fans can't stand but would absolutely love to have on their own team, and whether his Mets-to-Cubs journey is turning into one of the worst organizational misses in recent memory. Then there's Mark Walter and the Dodgers, including the questions surrounding the team's broadcasting arrangement, ownership, MLB's role in approving it, and Shohei Ohtani's unusual contract situation. On the soccer side, we dig into Alexander Isak's ugly Newcastle exit, whether he's really a fit for Liverpool, and the growing comparison between Isak and Kyle Tucker. Meanwhile, St. Louis City has gone from the bottom of the table to an unbeaten run — despite selling two of its best players — and Newcastle has somehow opened the Premier League season with four points after everyone seemingly expected disaster. Plus: VAR frustration, the Bears' ongoing stadium saga, fútbol fantasy, and the most perfectly forgotten fifth suspect imaginable. It's another episode of Team of Rivals (and apparently At the Park STL, too). 📺 Watch the Livestream: YouTube | Rumble | Facebook | X 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott @ToR_Elliott | Ron @ToR_Ron75 | @TheParkSTL 📧 Email: [email protected]

The trade deadline came and went… and not every move made sense. In this episode, we dive into the biggest decisions from around the league, highlighting the teams that pushed all the right buttons, the ones that hesitated, and the ones that left everyone asking: What are you doing? We spend extra time on the Cubs and Cardinals implications, break down key deadline strategies, and react in real time to the moves that could shape the rest of the season. Less recap, more reaction. These are The Deadline Diatribes. 📺 Watch the Livestream: YouTube | Rumble | Facebook | X 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott @ToR_Elliott | Ron @ToR_Ron75 | @TheParkSTL 📧 Email: [email protected]

In this special crossover episode with At The Park STL, the Team of Rivals Podcast presents His Final Decision—a tongue-in-cheek deep dive into Elliott's search for a Premier League club. Framed as a parody of a high-profile recruitment, Elliott walks through his decision-making process—what he looked for, how he evaluated clubs, and why narrowing it down wasn't as simple as it sounds. The rest of the crew, of course, has plenty to say along the way. Beyond the central bit, the episode also explores: A quick MLB check-in, including the Cubs' strong play and the Cardinals' recent slide Soccer transfers, the MLS, and the FIFA World Cup What actually matters when choosing a club to support Blending humor with genuine discussion, the episode builds toward Elliott's final choice — and the immediate reactions that follow. 📺 Watch the Livestream: YouTube | Rumble | Facebook | X 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott @ToR_Elliott | Ron @ToR_Ron75 | @TheParkSTL 📧 Email: [email protected]
