Season 9, Episode 12 – Torpedoes & Sweeps

Ron takes the reins this week as Pete ventures out west to catch the Chicago Cubs in action at the temporary A's complex in Sacramento. Joined by co-host Elliott and special guest Don Glenn from Gateway Sports, the trio dives into the excitement of the MLB opening weekend. They discuss the surprising start to the season, including the undefeated Dodgers and the winless Braves, while reflecting on the performances of various players, including Cubs legend Carson Kelly's remarkable cycle. The conversation shifts to the Cardinals as they navigate their early games, with insights on manager Ollie Marmol's aggressive strategy and the team's overall performance. With Helsley on the mound and the game tied in the ninth, the guys weigh the decision-making behind pitching choices and the implications for the season ahead. Finally they wonder, "Who do you pick as your future manager: Albert Pujols or Yadier Molina?" In a fun segment, Pete checks in live from Sacramento, before the trio explores the buzz surrounding the new torpedo bats making waves in the league, dissecting their impact on player performance. The episode wraps up with a look at the ongoing struggles of St. Louis CITY in soccer, as well as the state of the Blues as they aim for a playoff spot.
