Almost half a world away, but Ron and Pete discuss some bad Cardinals baseball, the demotion of The Last Jedi, and the nuclear waste site that is the Cardinals bullpen. Plus, will the Cards sell before the trade deadline?
With Pete out this week, Ron sits down with his Dad (Mike) and brother Scott. The trio talk through memories they've had attending games throughout the years, Ron intentionally throwing at his Dad during a father/son reunion game, the 1967 season and Bob Gibson's broken leg and, finally, Scott explains why having an intolerance to heat saved his life at Busch Stadium.
Ron and Pete get together this week to discuss the awful baseball that both teams have been producing. Are the Cubs really a .500 team? Did the Cardinals front office do enough with the coaching changes? Are there any moves that the Cards can make that will turn this season around? We'll discuss that and more, plus a great story for the Cubs and a good young player out of Charleston, South Carolina.
Ron and Pete proved prescient discussing the need for major changes in the Cardinals organization. They also discuss Jon Lester, David Ross, Scooter Gennett, and Hector Mendoza before turning their attention to Addison Russell.
Ron and Pete have a quick talk about an up-and-down week for the Cardinals and a disastrous week for the Cubs. Before calling it an episode, they talk about Baseball's Best Brawls, Bryce Harper's not so intimidating bat flip and the upcoming series between their two teams. Originally recorded on 5/31, and almost lost to bad audio, Pete used a day off to repair what was almost lost. Enjoy!
