Speaker 1: lounge of the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, broadcasting
1:33
Speaker 1: from Lost Wages, Nevada, the iHeartMedia building on Fremont Street,
1:37
Speaker 1: and this portion of the Ben Malar Show on Fox
1:40
Speaker 1: made possible in part by Tirerak Kathy and Madison tells me.
1:44
Speaker 1: For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
1:48
Speaker 1: like her and Ruth find the right tires for how,
1:51
Speaker 1: what and where they drive, ship fast and free, which
1:54
Speaker 1: makes mister Irrigation very happy back by free road hazard protection.
1:58
Speaker 1: I see the fry guy Fridaddy smiling and convenient installation
2:04
Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation, which is a big deal
2:07
Speaker 1: for Jonathan in Delaware. Tire rack dot com the way
2:11
Speaker 1: tire buying should be. So our lead this hour is
2:13
Speaker 1: from all Goda. We go to Toronto. It's all like,
2:19
Speaker 1: don't get calm tonight, are you ready?
2:24
Speaker 3: No?
2:25
Speaker 1: Today's today? All the pomp and circumstance. It's on Fox.
2:28
Speaker 1: Who will have according to John Smoltz, momentum.
2:31
Speaker 2: We'll have to tune in Joe Davis and John Smoltz.
2:34
Speaker 2: I have could call what is.
2:35
Speaker 1: It that would be game number one of the twenty
2:41
Speaker 1: five World Series as Blake Snell bro, I ain't playing
2:45
Speaker 1: less again, min Bro, I'm risking my life, he leads
2:50
Speaker 1: the I hope he doesn't die in the mound. Blake
2:52
Speaker 1: Snell leads the Dodger Juggernaut, So, bougie, they have two planes.
2:56
Speaker 1: Two planes when they travel too players can't be sitting
3:00
Speaker 1: near the unwashed. So Blake Snell leads the Dodger Juggernaut
3:03
Speaker 1: into the building formerly known as SkyDome against Trey Is Savage, Yes,
3:09
Speaker 1: Savage and the Blue Jays.
3:11
Speaker 2: Now La announced some roster moves. I thought this was interesting.
3:14
Speaker 1: And I have the bully pulpit pitcher Alex Vesia, who
3:19
Speaker 1: gets a lot of a lot of time on the
3:21
Speaker 1: mound for the Doyers. His World Series availability unclear. He's
3:26
Speaker 1: dealing with a very vague, deeply personal family matter. I
3:31
Speaker 1: don't know if anything else came out in the last
3:33
Speaker 1: few hours here, but I just saw that, so it
3:35
Speaker 1: does not sound great. So Dave Roberts said the team
3:39
Speaker 1: is going day today, which is nice to know.
3:41
Speaker 2: So that's to me.
3:43
Speaker 1: I don't know the details on that. And we're to
3:45
Speaker 1: leave my commentary out there is something we're really to say.
3:47
Speaker 1: He's not available to pitch. It must be bad otherwise
3:49
Speaker 1: it's the freaking World Series you'd want to pitch. So
3:52
Speaker 1: hopefully he takes care of that and things work out
3:55
Speaker 1: the way they're supposed to work out. The story though,
3:57
Speaker 1: is that the Dodgers have decided and this is bad news.
4:01
Speaker 1: So if you're a Dodger fan, I hate to be
4:04
Speaker 1: the bearer of bad news, but it's part of the
4:06
Speaker 1: job and sometimes you have to be the messenger of doom.
4:08
Speaker 2: And I'm about to do it.
4:11
Speaker 1: And it's with a heavy heart that I inform you
4:14
Speaker 1: that the Dodgers have decided that Clayton Kershaw is going
4:22
Speaker 1: to be on the twenty twenty five World Series roster.
4:28
Speaker 2: I know it's a tough day, tough day.
4:31
Speaker 3: Now.
4:31
Speaker 1: He didn't appear in the NLCS because he sucks after
4:35
Speaker 1: getting tormented by the Philadelphia Phillies.
4:38
Speaker 2: So that is a good jumping off point.
4:40
Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question, all right, how do you
4:43
Speaker 1: rule on Clayton Kershaw being added added to the Dodgers
4:50
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five World Series roster? So my views on this,
4:54
Speaker 1: I have the Oynster the mighty zol Tar and Ross
4:58
Speaker 1: dress for less, and we will combine all of these
5:00
Speaker 1: things together, and we're gonna make the Gabba goool.
5:03
Speaker 2: We're gonna make the Gobba gol.
5:05
Speaker 1: So, first of all, based on the fact that Dodgers
5:09
Speaker 1: play their games just down the road from the Hollywood Sign,
5:14
Speaker 1: I would like to give the Dodgers credit because they
5:17
Speaker 1: won an Emmy for bad decisions, Emmy meaning mental error.
5:21
Speaker 1: This is a mental error Clayton Kershaw being added to
5:25
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five World Series roster. Are you bloody
5:29
Speaker 1: kidding me? I thought this was Joe. I'd to buddy
5:31
Speaker 1: of mine. I tell you how I saw somebody sent
5:33
Speaker 1: me a text and we were driving here to Vegas
5:36
Speaker 1: and said, hey, Kershaw's on the roster. I said, that's funny. Aha,
5:39
Speaker 1: you lose it got me U And then it turned
5:42
Speaker 1: out to be true. So the joke's on me. But
5:44
Speaker 1: after the Dodgers they dodged a bullet with Kershaw again.
5:49
Speaker 1: They didn't put him on the roster against the Bruises.
5:51
Speaker 1: They bring him back. Are you trying to level the
5:53
Speaker 1: playing field for the Blue Jays? Is this like NASCAR
5:57
Speaker 1: when they have restricted plate racing? You're like, we're good,
6:00
Speaker 1: let's put Kershaw on the roster. That's like putting the
6:03
Speaker 1: guy who missed curfew in charge of team security.
6:06
Speaker 2: Who does that.
6:07
Speaker 1: This is completely unforced. And I'll tell you what this is.
6:11
Speaker 1: I'll there's some psychobabble. This is Dodger Hubris. This is
6:14
Speaker 1: Dodger ares. They want Kershaw on the roster, even though
6:17
Speaker 1: he could be in the dugout and celebrate, they want
6:19
Speaker 1: him out there. They envision being up by seven runs
6:23
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning of the closeout game, and they'll
6:25
Speaker 1: send Kershaw out like they had him out digging up
6:28
Speaker 1: the mound his last game at Dodger Stadium.
6:30
Speaker 2: And here's the thing. And maybe I'm wrong on this.
6:33
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not there anymore.
6:34
Speaker 1: But nobody, to my knowledge, put a gun today roberts
6:37
Speaker 1: head or a knife to the neck of the nerds
6:40
Speaker 1: and said put Kershaw out there. Kershaw has spent an
6:44
Speaker 1: entire lifetime proving to every man, woman and child that
6:50
Speaker 1: he cannot handle the immense pressure of October baseball.
6:53
Speaker 2: That is not my opinion. It is a fact.
6:57
Speaker 1: We're talking about a ballplayer that has it a four
7:00
Speaker 1: point six y three era in the postseason in forty games?
7:05
Speaker 2: How bad is that?
7:07
Speaker 4: All?
7:07
Speaker 5: Right?
7:07
Speaker 1: Let me explain something I did some digging. I had
7:12
Speaker 1: some time. I did some digging. Here, how bad is
7:14
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw in the playoffs? Among all pitchers that have
7:18
Speaker 1: made at least forty postseason appearances in the history of
7:22
Speaker 1: professional baseball? Is Clayton Kershaw in the top fifty all time?
7:27
Speaker 2: Back? Yes? Is he in the top forty all time? Bad? Yes?
7:32
Speaker 2: How about top thirty? Yep?
7:34
Speaker 1: How about top twenty? Ding ding ding ding ding Not
7:37
Speaker 1: even it can't be higher than twenty. Right, Come on,
7:41
Speaker 1: what if I told you? What if I told you
7:44
Speaker 1: that among all pitchers in the history of baseball that
7:47
Speaker 1: goes back, not a decade, not since nineteen seventy. Since
7:53
Speaker 1: eighteen sixty nine, Clayton Kershaw has the worst earned run
7:59
Speaker 1: at bridge in the history of professional baseball all time
8:05
Speaker 1: with forty appearances or more. You realize what happened in
8:10
Speaker 1: eighteen sixty nine. We were four years removed from the
8:13
Speaker 1: Civil War, ending in eighteen sixty nine when they started
8:16
Speaker 1: playing professional baseball what's known now as the major leagues.
8:21
Speaker 1: Four years after the Civil War, Kershaw's got the highest
8:23
Speaker 1: era of all time, forty one years before the widespread
8:29
Speaker 1: use of the automobile, Kershaw has the highest era of
8:33
Speaker 1: all time. And yet here we are the World Series
8:37
Speaker 1: beginning later today, and the Dodgers, like Lemmings to the cliff.
8:43
Speaker 2: That the film does not lie.
8:44
Speaker 1: When someone shows you who they are, believe them the
8:49
Speaker 1: first time, or at least the fortieth time. Kershaw is
8:54
Speaker 1: the October Oyster. He sweats like a pig. He does,
8:59
Speaker 1: he does big, get on the mound, he melts under
9:01
Speaker 1: the bright lights. And the Dodgers just gave him another
9:05
Speaker 1: match to burn the house down? What are we doing
9:09
Speaker 1: all right now? On the other side, Page two to Toronto.
9:13
Speaker 1: And now, as we mentioned the Blue Jays, they made
9:17
Speaker 1: their own announcement the game one started. Trey Y Savage
9:20
Speaker 1: will start Game one of the World Series against snell
9:24
Speaker 1: Zilla at the Rogers Center. Now, your Savage is twenty two.
9:30
Speaker 1: It'll be the first rookie to start game number one
9:33
Speaker 1: of the Fall Class since way back in twenty oh six.
9:37
Speaker 1: I won't even live in twenty oh six. That's when
9:39
Speaker 1: Verlander and Anthony Reyes squared off for the Tigers and Cardinals,
9:45
Speaker 1: respectively in that World Series.
9:47
Speaker 2: So you Savage. But you know, it's been a long time.
9:49
Speaker 1: If the Cardinals world, they've been bad for a while,
9:51
Speaker 1: haven't Anyway, You Savage has as many regular season starts
9:56
Speaker 1: as he has made in the postseason. He's made three
9:58
Speaker 1: regular season big league starts, three starts in the postseason
10:02
Speaker 1: after the Blue Jays called him up from a Triple
10:05
Speaker 1: A Buffalo. I have a nice Buffalo Bison hat courtesy
10:08
Speaker 1: of I think that was Alf the Alien Opiner. I believe,
10:11
Speaker 1: but hey, that was back in mid September. So the
10:14
Speaker 1: question on this one, how concerned how concern should the
10:19
Speaker 1: blue Jays be about rookie Tray you Savage and his
10:22
Speaker 1: lack of experience? So, after eight minutes long Mallard deliberation,
10:28
Speaker 1: I have determined that the Toronto Blue Jays the level
10:31
Speaker 1: of concern, How concern should they be? I'll tell you zero,
10:36
Speaker 1: not a zip, As the great southsayer of our time,
10:41
Speaker 1: the Mighty Xultar says, if you don't mind, my friend,
10:44
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter.
10:46
Speaker 2: It's not rocket science.
10:47
Speaker 1: As we know, experience is only a factor when you
10:51
Speaker 1: let it be.
10:51
Speaker 2: It's right therewith momentum.
10:57
Speaker 1: You know how I feel about momentum, Well, I feel
10:59
Speaker 1: the same way. I feel the same exact way about
11:02
Speaker 1: playoff experience.
11:04
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example. We just mentioned Clayton.
11:06
Speaker 1: Kershaw, who's got the worst era in the playoffs of
11:08
Speaker 1: anyone forty or more games since the beginning of baseball
11:10
Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty nine. Clayton Kershaw's got a PhD in
11:14
Speaker 1: playoff experience. He's also got a PhD in choking. All right,
11:17
Speaker 1: he's got a lifetime pass on the vomit comet, yep,
11:22
Speaker 1: the vomit comment. Meanwhile, this kid doesn't even know what's
11:27
Speaker 1: going on, said three playoff games. He's got no scar
11:30
Speaker 1: tissue from horrific performances in the playoffs. He's too dumb
11:34
Speaker 1: to know he's supposed to suck in these games. And
11:37
Speaker 1: that's the malord mantra right there. It's one of the
11:40
Speaker 1: mantras we have on the show. Matchups don't matter in
11:42
Speaker 1: games like this, film doesn't matter, home field advantage doesn't.
11:45
Speaker 2: Matter, no mentum does.
11:46
Speaker 1: An example, it doesn't matter because made up playoff experience
11:49
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You flush it all the way, you flush
11:53
Speaker 1: it like a number two. It's it's just who's better
11:56
Speaker 1: in that moment today. Today's the day Game one of
12:00
Speaker 1: the World Series, and so sometimes ignorance is actually bliss.
12:03
Speaker 1: He's got no carry on baggage while others are lugging
12:07
Speaker 1: giant suitcases in Vat. Kershaw's got so much playoff baggage
12:11
Speaker 1: that the baggage fees are insane. That's probably why the
12:14
Speaker 1: Dodgers fly two different planes, because Kershaw's got so much
12:17
Speaker 1: baggage they need one plane for all of Kershaw's all
12:21
Speaker 1: the demons that Kershaw's got from playoff games where he
12:23
Speaker 1: puked all over the mound and pooped his pants and
12:26
Speaker 1: all that stuff. All right, now, final thought, we move
12:29
Speaker 1: away from the World sit. I'm excited about watching. Were
12:33
Speaker 1: checking that out at the undisclosed part of it. Anyway
12:36
Speaker 1: to sportsbook somewhere here, I don't know where, not sure where.
12:40
Speaker 1: Anyway to Philadelphia, where we mentioned this earlier. I want
12:42
Speaker 1: to expand on it.
12:43
Speaker 2: So the GM.
12:44
Speaker 1: Dave Dombrowski, longtime baseball executive Dave Dombrowski, This guy's seen
12:49
Speaker 1: a few things. He knows where the bodies are buried.
12:51
Speaker 1: Worked in professional baseball since at least the early eighties,
12:54
Speaker 1: if not the seventies. Been around a while, so Dombrowski.
12:58
Speaker 1: He went on some Extrajob Baseball podcast recently and addressed
13:03
Speaker 1: some of the chatter on social media. Been a lot
13:07
Speaker 1: of noise that after Dombrowski said that Bryce Harper is
13:11
Speaker 1: no longer elite, that is the tell that the Philadelphia
13:17
Speaker 1: baseball team is planning on saying bye bye to the
13:20
Speaker 1: face of the Philadelphia Phillies franchise.
13:23
Speaker 2: So Dombrowski was asked about that.
13:25
Speaker 1: Did he A say absolutely, we can't stand Bryce Harper.
13:29
Speaker 1: The guy's a dog with fleas. We're gonna get rid
13:31
Speaker 1: of him. Did he say, B be no comment or
13:35
Speaker 1: c We're not trading Bryce Harper? All right, pens down
13:41
Speaker 1: reveal answers and that would be see dom Browski said.
13:47
Speaker 1: Quote when asked about the idea of trading Bryce Harper
13:50
Speaker 1: said that couldn't be further from the truth.
13:52
Speaker 2: We're not trading Bryce Harper. Question.
13:56
Speaker 1: Does Dave Dombrowski's statement end the chatter around the Phillies
14:04
Speaker 1: dealing Bryce Arbor?
14:06
Speaker 2: So this is a suckers game, is what this is?
14:10
Speaker 6: Right?
14:10
Speaker 1: That's the way I will frame it that in five
14:12
Speaker 1: bucks will get you a nice pumpkin spice Lotte.
14:15
Speaker 2: This time of the year. You can enjoy that, not
14:16
Speaker 2: yourself out.
14:17
Speaker 1: And that is the classic Pop goes to weasel terminology.
14:23
Speaker 1: Teams lie all the time. We talk about every single
14:25
Speaker 1: day here. Most of the time we talk together, me
14:28
Speaker 1: and you together. I talk about someone lying. If a
14:31
Speaker 1: team really isn't trading a guy. My experience tells me
14:34
Speaker 1: they don't even bring it up. They don't acknowledge it.
14:37
Speaker 1: They just forget about it, don't talk about When they
14:39
Speaker 1: say they're not trading a ballplayer, it means give us
14:43
Speaker 1: an offer, you tell us something. We've seen this a
14:46
Speaker 1: lot of NFL trade deadlines coming up. We've seen We've
14:48
Speaker 1: talked about this a couple of days this week, where
14:50
Speaker 1: you know, the Raiders and the Bengals have come out
14:52
Speaker 1: with statements, we're not trading so and so, and they've
14:54
Speaker 1: leaked that story and I don't believe it. They just
14:56
Speaker 1: want the write offer, they want that sweet spot offer.
14:59
Speaker 2: And then and they're good now.
15:01
Speaker 1: The difference with Bryce Harper is this, he's the one
15:05
Speaker 1: that is in the driver's seat. He's wearing the pants.
15:08
Speaker 1: I don't know how else I can say in that relationship.
15:10
Speaker 1: He's got a full no trade claus full note trade class.
15:14
Speaker 1: He's also got body ink, he's got the Philly fanatic tattooed,
15:18
Speaker 1: So that would be rather odd if he played for
15:20
Speaker 1: the Mets or the Marlins or the Braves and he's
15:23
Speaker 1: got the Philly fanatic tattoo on his arm or whatever.
15:27
Speaker 1: So Bryce is essentially a modern day Rocky. He's become that,
15:30
Speaker 1: even though he hasn't won yet. He's mister Philadelphia. I
15:34
Speaker 1: know he's from where we're doing the show from here
15:36
Speaker 1: in Vegas, but he's mister Philadelphia.
15:37
Speaker 2: And here's the plot twist. Are you ready for the plot?
15:41
Speaker 2: You are okay? Good? The contract.
15:44
Speaker 1: This is how bizarre world professional sports is and how
15:48
Speaker 1: unrelatable professional sports is to the common man, the working man.
15:53
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper has a three hundred and thirty million dollar contract. Now,
15:57
Speaker 1: he signed that contract. I believe it was twenty nineteen.
15:59
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty nineteen. That is, at the time,
16:02
Speaker 1: it was like, oh my god, that's Fort Knox three
16:05
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty million to leave the nattitude of Washington
16:09
Speaker 1: and Rick and Maryland saying morning time. He gave up
16:12
Speaker 1: morning time with Rick and Maryland to go play in Philadelphia.
16:15
Speaker 1: And now now it looks like something you would find
16:20
Speaker 1: on a rack at Ross Dress for Less, the discount
16:23
Speaker 1: part of which is already low with the discount part,
16:25
Speaker 1: like Rob Parker would find that at Ross Dress for Less.
16:28
Speaker 1: And Harper has been he has been a lookie lou
16:32
Speaker 1: over the last six years. He's been watching all these
16:34
Speaker 1: guys sign five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred million dollar
16:38
Speaker 1: contracts and he's stuck on that discount rack in comparison,
16:42
Speaker 1: even though he's got three hundred thirty million. So I
16:44
Speaker 1: think what we should do is start a GoFundMe for
16:46
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper. How about a bake sale. I'll bake some cookies.
16:49
Speaker 1: We'll be good on that.
16:50
Speaker 2: So if there's.
16:51
Speaker 1: Any any movement on this, any movement on this, it's
16:56
Speaker 1: not the Phillies trading Bryce Harper. It's the Phillies paying
17:03
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper even more money, which would.
17:06
Speaker 2: Be an odd situation.
17:08
Speaker 1: It's a weird juxtaposition because Harper, the GM said he's
17:11
Speaker 1: not elite anymore. So if he's not elite, why would
17:14
Speaker 1: you give him more money. He's a good player, but
17:16
Speaker 1: not an leade player, so that don't make a lot
17:17
Speaker 1: of sense. And there's stories Harper's upset with Don Browski
17:21
Speaker 1: because he called him out on his birthday and all
17:24
Speaker 1: this stuff, and so you give him some more money
17:26
Speaker 1: and all that, and so this is not not necessarily
17:29
Speaker 1: about a trade.
17:30
Speaker 2: It's more about a leverage situation.
17:32
Speaker 1: Remember you never ever, you never ever take a front
17:37
Speaker 1: office at their word when they say one thing.
17:42
Speaker 2: It's like the zig zag. We used to have a caller, good.
17:44
Speaker 1: Caller in my early days here at Fox Sports Radio
17:46
Speaker 1: named zig Zag and it's zig zags when they zig
17:50
Speaker 1: u zag, and that's it. So when they say no trade,
17:53
Speaker 1: you keep one eye open on the smoke because there's

30:49
Speaker 1: the highest year of any picture that's made forty appearances
30:51
Speaker 1: or more in the postseason.
30:53
Speaker 6: A real stat. But you are completely omitting the heart
30:57
Speaker 6: and soul of the story, and you're not things. I
31:00
Speaker 6: don't even care about the seven run thing, even though
31:02
Speaker 6: you're right, but we do need another left hander, okay,
31:06
Speaker 6: And you are right, he's not going out there unless
31:09
Speaker 6: we're up by like seven runs. I'm not going to
31:11
Speaker 6: disagree with that. But of course he's gonna be on
31:13
Speaker 6: the roster. What else he gonna put on, like Emmitt
31:14
Speaker 6: Sheen or something I.
31:16
Speaker 2: Would rather have. I would rather have you on the roster.

31:30
Speaker 6: We're already talking about Bryce Harper being traded. I get
31:32
Speaker 6: he's got the tattoo. Anyway, none of this is why
31:34
Speaker 6: I call it, Ben, Ben, this is the real reason
31:35
Speaker 6: why I called it. Okay, yes, hang on, there's a
31:38
Speaker 6: lot of terrible takes on the radio, a lot. You've
31:41

31:58
Speaker 6: because I mean, I hate to ask you to do
32:01
Speaker 6: work over the weekend, but maybe you could, like just
32:02
Speaker 6: splice together a sixty second clip of all of Ben's
32:05
Speaker 6: terrible taken on firing Dave Roberts.
32:09
Speaker 1: Robert, you know what I would, I would let me
32:11
Speaker 1: tell you, I'd fire Robbers right now.
32:14
Speaker 2: I'd fire him before game one, and.
32:15
Speaker 1: They wouldn't miss a beat because he doesn't do crap
32:18
Speaker 1: somebody else makes it right now. They already they're printing
32:21
Speaker 1: up the script for game one. Here, Dave, remember the ship.
32:25
Speaker 1: They'll get him up. They'll get him a teleprompter in
32:27
Speaker 1: the dugout, they'll get him a prompter or read the script.

Speaker 1: spend a lot of money and they have great players.
32:49
Speaker 1: They took Freddie Freeman from the Braves of Tany, from
32:52
Speaker 1: the Angels. I mean, the whole thing, most of it
32:55
Speaker 1: is that is built with players from other teams. Fine,
32:58
Speaker 1: it worked good for them, but don't tell me it's
33:00

33:03
Speaker 2: He's not.
33:06

Speaker 2: over the Bible Belt. Everyone's worried about the Bible Belt.
34:36
Speaker 2: Even people in the Bible Belt say that word. Now,
34:38
Speaker 2: I isn't even really worried about it. You know what
34:40
Speaker 2: I'm saying? Oh, let's start a petition.
34:42
Speaker 6: You know you do that?
34:44
Speaker 2: Let me know? And I am, what's that? Can we
34:48
Speaker 2: say it in other languages? I? Well, I have done

Speaker 2: that in the past, I have, I have.
34:56
Speaker 1: I used to say a lot of bad words in
34:58
Speaker 1: Yiddish and nobody called me on it. So I've cut
