About this listen

This week, the Team discusses the Cubs' surprising roster moves, including Matt Shaw's demotion to Triple-A and the implications for prospects like Gage Workman. They debate Shaw's unorthodox batting stance, drawing comparisons to legends like Stan Musial and Barry Bonds, while unpacking the team's strategy against a tough upcoming pitching schedule.

On the Cardinals' side, the conversation turns to fan frustration, low attendance at Busch Stadium, and the front office's inaction during the 2024-25 offseason. The hosts break down a provocative Redbird Rants article by Josh Jacobs, listing 11 fear-driven decisions under John Mozeliak’s leadership, from passing on Max Scherzer to the controversial handling of Wilson Contreras. They also touch on the Cardinals' 8-8 start, highlighting bright spots like beating top pitchers, while lamenting their knack for losing to no-name hurlers.

Beyond baseball, Ron delivers his Soccer Minute, recapping St. Louis City SC’s recent struggles and their hunt for Bundesliga talent. The episode wraps with a nod to guest Braden’s upcoming softball broadcast and a playful debate about whether Ian Happ is destined for the Cubs Hall of Fame. Tune in for laughs, insights, and the latest from two of baseball’s fiercest rivals!
