Spring Training is upon us. Free agents are signing. Baseball season is FINALLY HERE! Ron, Pete and Elliott wonder if Anthony Rizzo deserves the first "C" since Sammy Sosa, whether Jason Motte is a good depth move or The End Of the Cardinals Chances, if MLB will ever succeed in Florida, Rob Manfred's hidden disdain for baseball, and excitement (?) about the return of baseball.
Elliott’s out on a date with the Missus, so Ron and Pete kick it #OldSchool. They talk about Bud Norris and the slowly thawing free agent market. And that’s about it. Because nothing is happening.
Ron, Pete, and Elliott jump on with their hot takes because IT FINALLY HAPPENED! Yu Darvish is headed to Chicago in what is easily the biggest signing of the off-season thus far. They cover the contract details, the Cubs as favorites, and the winners and losers of this move.
Pete and Elliott turn the tables on Ron and special guest Chris Lollis (Cardinals Nation 24/7). They discuss the upcoming Cardinals season, what they look forward to, what they fear and what they hate about their own fans (and Cubs fans, of course).
Ron grills Pete and Elliott on the upcoming Cubs' season, what they look forward to, what they fear, and what they hate about their own fans (and Cardinals fans; of course).
With Elliott out sick, Ron and Pete jump on to talk about everything -- and nothing -- because nothing is happening this offseason. Jake Elliott, labor strife, the Darvish Dam, Carlos Martinez, and golf carts are all topics of conversation on this week's podcast.
