Step up to the plate with the Team of Rivals as they tackle the highs and lows of MLB's opening day. The Cardinals may have had a rough start against the Dodgers, but Ron, Elliott, and Pete aren't losing hope just yet. They're breaking down the Cardinals' struggle against the Dodgers and the Cubs' face-off with the World Series champion Rangers. They also delve into the nuances of player contracts, including the legendary Bobby Bonilla payout scheme and rookie callups. Whether you're a die-hard baseball fan or just love a good sports discussion, this episode is your ticket to the big leagues.

Strap in for a rollercoaster ride as Ron, Elliott, and Pete tackle the elephant in the room amid a sea of MLB chaos. In this episode, we're bypassing the usual banter on injuries and player movements to zone in on the Shohei Ohtani saga that's got the baseball world holding its breath. Is the golden boy of the Los Angeles Dodgers in a gambling mess, and if so, what does that mean for him, the team, and the integrity of the game?

From the potential implications on Ohtani's mega contract to the eerie silence from MLB's top brass, we dissect the swirling rumors and the deafening lack of concrete information. Plus, we can't help but draw parallels to historical precedents and wonder aloud about the possible double standards at play.

As we ponder the future of baseball's poster boy, we also touch upon the state of the sport at the grassroots level, and how the game's changing landscape might be impacting its very soul.

Join Ron, Pete, and Elliot as they delve deep into the controversy, share their unfiltered opinions, and even bring in some legal expertise to shed light on the contractual complexities involved.

It's been a month since Ron, Elliott, and Pete have been willing to record, so they try their best to understand why. They discuss Scott Boras finally overplaying his hand, X/Twitter, Rob Manfred, and the new Nike jerseys, but it ultimately comes down to a lack of interest.

You see, baseball has lost that lovin' feelin', and the guys try to get to the root of the matter. Is it the lack of moves this offseason? The new jerseys that look like the free ones they give away at games? Is it too much exposure to social media fandom? Sydney Sweeney? (No, it's DEFINITELY not her!) So what is it?

The title says it all: THE WORST episode in our history, and the bar was already pretty low. (Let's be honest: It's all Pete's fault.)

Where has our motivation gone for baseball?  Ron, Elliott, and Pete try to figure out once again why they've lost their connection to our national pastime, while simultaneously mining the incredibly interesting topics of what the Cubs will do with their 40-man roster and Brandon Crawford checking into Busch Stadium III hospice. (Thoughts and prayers for his well-being.)

Yeah, they talk about the cancellation of Respawn's Star Wars game, Scott Boras, Shohei Ohtani, City FC, and the Bears quarterback situation, but it all comes back to a loss of sports passion.
