It’s our 50th episode and we hoped we’d have a slightly happier topic of conversation. Unfortunately, it’s been a cruel, cruel summer for Racing. After losses to Bay FC and the North Carolina Courage, the gang is left wondering what the heck has happened to the club’s early season promise and chemistry. With the summer break here, can Racing cool off and use this time to right the ship, or do drastic measures need to be taken? This is a public episode.

Racing didn't have the best week of games, but at least they aren't "shipping container fire" levels of bad! That's the big takeaway from this week's episode, where Tom, Bekki, and Kaitlyn recap the Gotham, Angel City, and Seattle Reign games and discuss whether their outlook on the team is glass half empty or glass half full. Are we being realistic or looking at things through lavender-colored glasses? Have a listen to decide for yourself!Thanks for reading Butchertown Rundown: A Racing Louisville Substack!

With Bekki out sick this week, Tom and Kaitlyn recap Racing's recent string of losses against Orlando and Washington and debate the Law of Holes. Is the team in a hole? Should they stop digging?

Yeah, it's alright. We're doing fine after Racing's incredible 5-1 win over the Utah Royals even if it was followed up by a more frustrating 1-1 draw with Gotham.

Tom is back with Bekki and Kaitlyn to discuss yet another 0-0 draw for Racing against San Diego. Is this a result that feels more like a win, a loss, or just a draw?

Two more games equal two more draws for Racing Louisville. Houston is more understandable, but Portland? That raises some questions.

This week Tom, Bekki, and Kaitlyn chat with Kentucky legend Arin Wright about coming home to play for Racing, how the club has become "what all clubs should aspire to be", and why prejudices against Kentucky need to "just die today."
