Elliott and Ron recap the week in Cardinals and Cubs baseball and look into the weekend ahead. Elliott raises an interesting question of Darvish or Arietta? GM, what would you do now? Pete was out but he left us with a soundbite. Funny or not? We'll let the audience decide.

Drunk Elliott is taking advantage of $12 seats in the Airport Hanger Park (Miller), so Ron and Pete jump on to recap a weather-shortened Series 1, Anthony Rizzo's OUTRAGEOUS!!! comments about shortening the season, and Bryan Price's trip to the unemployment line. They wrap things up with a get-off-my-lawn rant about the Launch Angle Revolution.

In part 1 of our bonus night the guys are back together again, so they ever-so-briefly cover the upcoming Cubs-Cardinals series with special guest Tina Bradley.

In part 2 of our bonus night, we recap the Star Wars Rebels series. Tina Bradley joins Elliott, Pete and Ron to discuss how this series impacted our Star Wars universe, questions left unanswered and future possibilities for the remaining members of the Ghost Crew.

On this episode we talk the official start of the "base brawling" season. We revisit Yadi's suspension and the logic behind the decision, bat flipping, when to hit a batter and the recent a poor series that the Cardinals and Cubs just finished. Braden crashes the show again and gives his 2018 MLB The Show updates, we wake Chris Lollis up to say "hi" and share a clip from the Dan Lebatard show on the Marlins ridiculousness. Cubs Fan Rage Pete not featured in this episode!

Ron, Pete and Elliott log on to officially review the first week-and-a-half of baseball covering pretty much everything Cardinals and Cubs, as well as Shohei Ohtani, Bryce Harper, and #CardinalsDevilMagic. Plus, we introduce the first episode of "Ron's Rants".

One week in, and the Team of Rivals just can't resist addressing the hot takes on the first week of the Cubs' and Cardinals' seasons. Ron logs in from Florida while on vacation while Pete mans the controls back home in Illinois. And Elliott? Elliott is our intrepid, on-the-spot reporter cutting in from Miller Park as "interesting" things happen at the Cubs-Brewers game.
