Peach and Pitch - An Atlanta United Podcast

And so went Atlanta United's inaugural season. It's been a week since the loss, and with wounds beginning to heal, Ethan and Alex are ready to break down what went wrong against the Crew. We also recap the season, highlighting key moments and discussing surprises and disappointments. Plus, a new face could be on the way, and Ethan believes in mystical voodoo powers. All that on this week's episode of Peach and Pitch

The playoffs are upon us. Alex calls in while soaking up the sun, and Ethan handles it with minimal resentment. We breakdown Atlanta's draw against Toronto, tell you what you need to know about tonight's game against the Crew, and discuss last night's action. Plus, the rebirth of Spanish imperialism???

The end of the season is nigh. Atlanta United is in 4th after a hard-fought draw and face record-breakers Toronto FC this Saturday. A first-round bye is on the line. Ethan and Alex take a look at playoff scenarios, analyze the Toronto attack, and tell you all you need to know about the Colombus Crew controversy. Plus, Marco Goalo takes us across the pond for a round-up of a nasty week in Champions League.

Time to beat the dead horse. The U.S. is out of the World Cup. Alex tries to calm the storm, while Ethan lauds the raging tempest. After regaining composure, we look ahead to Sunday's match against the New York Red Bulls and discuss the importance of moving up to second. Plus, Tim Cahill sells out, and something's in the water in Niger.

In this one, Atlanta United is a wallflower at the Boston Tea Party, winter came after a Loony night at the Benz, the future of American imperialism is at stake in Friday’s Banana War, and Ethan might have to leave the show early after finding out coffee is a diuretic. EDIT: Grogginess got to us, and we mistakenly stated Liverpool will play Manchester United Saturday 10/7, when in fact they play Saturday, 10/14.

It's a well-known paradigm than in every great duo, there's always the hero and the idiot. In this episode, Ethan firmly cements himself as the latter, but Alex is too groggy to be the hero. We also recap the past week's action, make some French forecasts for Montreal, and question whether or not Neymar needs a babysitter when his parents aren't home.
