The Cubs and Cardinals wrap up their fourth series of the season with the Cubs tied for first place and the Cards starting to fade into the abyss. A despondent Ron gives a brutal analysis of the Cardinals prospects for this year and next.

Pete and Ron get up early to discuss whether or not the Cubs have turned the corner, if the two teams will be buyers or sellers at this year's trade deadline, and when (if) the Cards pull the plug on the 2017 season

Ron, Pete, and their special guest, Anthony Serafini, discuss the Cubs' stunning trade for Jose Quintana and the ramifications that it will have for the rest of the NL Central and the MLB trade deadline.

Ron and Pete discuss the All-Star Game and how to fix it. They eat some crow as they review their preseason predictions, and make their best guesses as to what will happen at the trade deadline and in the second half of the season.

Pete and Ron discuss the woeful state of the NL Central, the end of Schwarber Watch 2017, and the Verlander/Donaldson/Machado trade rumors.

Back in the States together, Ron and Pete talk Miguel Montero's mouth, John Mozeliak's promotion, trade deadline expectations, and a new segment - Schwarber Watch 2017.
