While the regular season is winding down for both the Cubs and the Cardinals, Ron and Pete have plenty to discuss. From inside-the-park home runs to Campfire Milkshakes, from six-inning minimums to Ron's Soccer Minute, it's still a full episode (even without Elliott).
The Team kicks things off with an exhilarating inside-the-park home run by Pete Crow-Armstrong, which inspires a throwback to the time that Ron actually saw one in person. They then shift gears to discuss the state of the Cardinals and Cubs, including their respective frustrations with the Cubs' playoff hopes and the Cardinals' need for a rebuild. Ron shares his thoughts on recent comments from Cardinals' ownership and the team's future direction.
In "Ron's Soccer Minute", they dive into City's recent performance, including their thrilling match against Portland and the impact of new signings on the team's future. They also touch on the upcoming game against the LA Galaxy and the end of the supporters' boycott.
Finally, Ron and Pete wrap up with a discussion on the current state of the Star Wars franchise, comparing it to the Cardinals' struggles.
