Episode Notes

Ron, Elliott, and Pete are back to discuss the deeply upsetting reality that both the Cubs and Cardinals are actuallyโ€ฆ good?

The Cubs keep winning despite a pitching staff held together with duct tape and Craig Counsell wizardry, while the Cardinals continue shambling forward like the baseball equivalent of a zombie apocalypse.

The guys break down:

  • The suddenly dangerous NL Central
  • Whether the Cubs are legitimate contenders
  • Ron cautiously buying stock in the Cardinals rebuild
  • The official postmortem for Dylan Carlson
  • Carson Kelly's surprise emergence
  • Why teams desperately need a "Vice President of Common Sense"
  • Ron's son Sam becoming the Ben Zobrist of his high school team
  • Terrible soccer kits, Newcastle, St. Louis CITY, and another cursed Ron's Soccer Minute
