Hour 2 - Bronx Blooper · The Ben Maller Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Playball. It's our Naber two and a happy Monday to you,
0:06
Speaker 1: the seventh day of July. As we settle in today,
0:10
Speaker 1: and it's all about the New York Yankees. They won
0:14
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but the bleeding continues. When asked recently if
0:18
Speaker 1: the Yankees losing is taking a toll on the clubhouse,
0:21
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge said simply, quote no. How did this response
0:25
Speaker 1: work for the electorate in the Bronx. Also, Paul Skens
0:28
Speaker 1: over his last twelve starts for the Yankees as a
0:31
Speaker 1: one point eight four ERA and a one loss record
0:35
Speaker 1: of one in five. What does that signify to you?
0:38
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. Also, third basement, Gino Suarez is
0:41
Speaker 1: grabbing the most attention before the Major League Baseball trade deadline.
0:46
Speaker 1: Twenty eight home runs, seventy three RBIs for Arizona. He's
0:51
Speaker 1: supposedly coveted by the Mariners and the Yankees. How does
0:54
Speaker 1: all that sound to you? We'll talk about it right now.
0:58
Speaker 1: Give it up for our number two. Even when winning,
1:05
Speaker 1: it still ends up being a Bronx blooper kind of
1:09
Speaker 1: a weekend. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
1:14
Speaker 1: the Ben Malar Show. We are in the air everywhere,
1:20
Speaker 1: using pitchforks as we beard the Lion coast to coast,
1:26
Speaker 1: border to border and beyond on the mast and stratophirically
1:30
Speaker 1: powerful microphones of FSR emmating live from the Crawl the
1:37
Speaker 1: Pub Crawl all night long from the Fox Sports Radio studios,
1:41
Speaker 1: as approved by JD in Boston. Who knows this portion
1:46
Speaker 1: of the Ben Maller Show on Fox made possible in
1:48
Speaker 1: part by our friends at tire Iraq. For over forty years,
1:53
Speaker 1: Tyraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what,
1:56
Speaker 1: where and where they drive. All of that fast and
2:00
Speaker 1: freeback by free Road has a protection with convenient installation
2:04
Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com. The
2:09
Speaker 1: way tire buying should be, so our lead. This hour
2:11
Speaker 1: is from the Big Apple. July fourth weekend has now
2:15
Speaker 1: come and gone, and Baseball trying to take ownership of
2:19
Speaker 1: the weekend. It was not must see TV for me.
2:23
Speaker 1: Were you enchanted? Were you enchanted by Major League Baseball?
2:27
Speaker 1: They made that a mandate. They go, Well, the NFL
2:31
Speaker 1: and the NBA can fight over Thanksgiving and over Christmas,
2:36
Speaker 1: but July fourth, Baby, There's no NFL games on July fourth,
2:40
Speaker 1: there's no NBA games on July fourth. It's all about
2:43
Speaker 1: the baseball, right, So they made it a big deal,
2:47
Speaker 1: and to me, the big deal was the hot dog
2:49
Speaker 1: eating contest. We mentioned that in the fifth hour podcast
2:53
Speaker 1: The dog Father. The greatest athlete in our lifetimes, the
2:57
Speaker 1: Great Joey Chestnutt doing it yet again in Brooklyn over
3:02
Speaker 1: the weekend, but over in Queen's not that far away there.
3:06
Speaker 1: The Mets and Yankees wrapped up the weekend series on Sunday,
3:10
Speaker 1: so if you were not watching this, you might have
3:12
Speaker 1: missed it. Aaron Judge a Judge Tonian thirty third home
3:18
Speaker 1: run and Cody Bellinger, a one time MVP who's now
3:22
Speaker 1: a vagabond outfielder bouncing from team to team. He started
3:27
Speaker 1: a key double play. The Yankees got some help from
3:30
Speaker 1: the umpires, and they needed it to stop a six
3:34
Speaker 1: game losing streak. They did for the moment, stop the bleeding,
3:39
Speaker 1: beat the Mets six to four on Sunday, All star
3:42
Speaker 1: Max Freed. It's amazing a guy signs a big contract,
3:46
Speaker 1: actually shows up in pitches and plays well. Max Freed,
3:50
Speaker 1: unlike Blake Snell broy playing as I got mon Bro
3:54
Speaker 1: Blake Snet well, Max Freed went out there risking his life.
3:57
Speaker 1: Apparently he's eleven and two. And more importantly, the definition
4:01
Speaker 1: of a big time starter is someone where you're losing
4:06
Speaker 1: and you put that guy in the mound, you automatically win.
4:09
Speaker 1: So Max Freed in twelve starts after the Yankees had
4:13
Speaker 1: lost the game, he's nine and one, nine and one,
4:18
Speaker 1: couple of non decisions and that. So let us discuss
4:22
Speaker 1: The key question here is not so much from the
4:25
Speaker 1: Yankees winning on Sunday, but it's more about the commentary
4:29
Speaker 1: recently of the face of the New York Yankees when
4:34
Speaker 1: asked about the recent stretch of futility. Even with that
4:38
Speaker 1: win on Sunday, it's been a bad month for the Yankees.
4:42
Speaker 1: Going back to the early part of June, when asked
4:45
Speaker 1: if the recent struggles are taking a toll on the
4:49
Speaker 1: Yankee Clubhouse, Aaron Judge simply said, no is what he said.
4:56
Speaker 1: So how did his response? How did his response work
5:01
Speaker 1: for the electorate in the Bronx. So I've got Trump,
5:04
Speaker 1: National Michelin, star chef and Vegan pot luck, and we
5:10
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
5:13
Speaker 1: going to make some popcorn freshly made buttered popcorn. Wonderful.
5:18
Speaker 1: All right, So number one, Aaron Judge, mister big man
5:24
Speaker 1: on campus there, this was cringe worthy. He gets the badge,
5:28
Speaker 1: the Scouts badge for cringe. Aaron Judge does here, mister
5:34
Speaker 1: el Capitan, the captain of the Yankees, the face of
5:37
Speaker 1: the franchise, six foot seven lumberjack, a human billboard for
5:42
Speaker 1: the Bronx Bombers and all that. But he said the
5:46
Speaker 1: thing you can't say at the time, you can't say it.
5:49
Speaker 1: And it's not so much about one quote. It's not
5:52
Speaker 1: so much about that. It's about what that particular quote represents.
5:57
Speaker 1: It's about the tone. It's about being aware. Situational awareness,
6:01
Speaker 1: very important, situational awareness. Now you don't have to be
6:04
Speaker 1: a Navy seal, but you should have situational awareness to
6:07
Speaker 1: know that that is not the time nor the place
6:10
Speaker 1: to say what Aaron Judge said over the weekend. It's
6:12
Speaker 1: about understanding the moment, understanding the fan base, understanding the customers,
6:16
Speaker 1: all of that. And Aaron Judge just looked out of place,
6:21
Speaker 1: looked out of place. Don't want to deal with it.
6:24
Speaker 1: So he's gonna kind of run away from the heat
6:25
Speaker 1: a little bit. Oh no, no, we're fine. Everything is
6:28
Speaker 1: fine here, absolutely So he's reading off a Q card
6:33
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in a submarine.
6:37
Speaker 1: But if you're honest, even with the win against the
6:39
Speaker 1: Mets on Sunday, the Yankees continue to be a hot
6:43
Speaker 1: mess and the one win does not change things here.
6:47
Speaker 1: The Yankees over their last twenty two games have lost
6:51
Speaker 1: sixteen of their last twenty two games. Now, I didn't
6:54
Speaker 1: play in the major leagues. I just hosted overnight talked show.
6:56
Speaker 1: That sucks. Okay where I sit there, she blows, as
7:00
Speaker 1: they say in pirate Land. So sixteen losses in the
7:04
Speaker 1: last twenty two games for the Yankees, and you are
7:07
Speaker 1: what your record says you are, and of late, that
7:10
Speaker 1: is not a good baseball team. And they're playing like
7:13
Speaker 1: a team going through the motions. You see a lot
7:15
Speaker 1: of the time teams that are eliminated from playoff consideration
7:20
Speaker 1: and they just kind of lolly gag around like the
7:22
Speaker 1: whole thing. It's been a boondoggle for the Yankees lately.
7:26
Speaker 1: And you don't want to hear when you're going through
7:29
Speaker 1: a rough patch like this, everything's fine. You don't want
7:32
Speaker 1: to hear it, right, that's not leadership. That's not accountability
7:35
Speaker 1: by Aaron Judge. And it's not even reality is It's
7:39
Speaker 1: just not it's not anything. You're the captain of the
7:43
Speaker 1: New York Yankees. You're not playing for the Toledo mud Hens.
7:47
Speaker 1: You're not so the Yankees the mighty in New York. Yeah,
7:50
Speaker 1: you have the brag off Yankee baseball, this, that and
7:53
Speaker 1: the other thing. So you don't just get to strug off,
7:56
Speaker 1: shrug off with a wink and a nod, a bad
7:59
Speaker 1: mud of baseball like it's a bad round of golf
8:02
Speaker 1: at the Trump National and you just said, well, it
8:04
Speaker 1: was just not my day and my clubs were not
8:08
Speaker 1: we're not working the right way. No, you don't get
8:10
Speaker 1: to do that. And you know you got to at
8:12
Speaker 1: least pretend like you're upset. Right, you're the captain of
8:15
Speaker 1: the Yankees. Again, when teams losing, the fans are booing
8:19
Speaker 1: and they're unhappy. You don't get to act like it's
8:22
Speaker 1: business as usual when you're the captain of the yank
8:27
Speaker 1: and you just can't can't be doing it. You're supposed
8:30
Speaker 1: to set the tone. I think that's that's where to go.
8:33
Speaker 1: You carry the weight and you can't say no to that.
8:35
Speaker 1: When asked if the team's unrappling, it's obviously unraveling, and
8:39
Speaker 1: you know, he said, well, you can say a lot
8:41
Speaker 1: of different cliches. That's not the one to say, though.
8:44
Speaker 1: He said, well, it's frustrating. We'll be better. We got
8:46
Speaker 1: to be better, blacking all those kinds of things, but
8:48
Speaker 1: you gotta show some kind of pulse, some kind of
8:51
Speaker 1: pulse and h right now and Judge seem tone death,
8:56
Speaker 1: seem tone death, and it's like he's more worried about
8:59
Speaker 1: his next commercial shoot then he is. The Yankees who
9:02
Speaker 1: have fallen behind the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League.
9:06
Speaker 1: Eastendies now page two to Pittsburgh, PA. We go well,
9:10
Speaker 1: actually Seattle, where the Pirates were about as far away
9:14
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh as they can get over the weekend and
9:17
Speaker 1: the old sweeperoo bupkis zip bow and zero for the
9:22
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Pirates. After shutting out the Cardinals for three games
9:25
Speaker 1: in a row, they got shut out for three games
9:28
Speaker 1: in a row. So that continues a recent stretch of
9:33
Speaker 1: stinkage for the Pirates, including the game on Sunday started
9:37
Speaker 1: by Paul Skeins. His last twelve starts. His last twelve
9:41
Speaker 1: starts for the Pirates, he has an earned run average.
9:44
Speaker 1: Paul Skeins, the phenom of phenoms, has an earn run
9:48
Speaker 1: average of one point eighty four. We are told, Yet
9:52
Speaker 1: his one loss record in his last twelve starts one
9:55
Speaker 1: win and five losses the buckoes record in those twelve starts.
10:01
Speaker 1: So what does that signify to you? What does that
10:05
Speaker 1: signify to you? That's the question. So for me, the
10:10
Speaker 1: er right, the king of earned run average and domination
10:14
Speaker 1: situation and all this stuff. The a's the record says, hey,
10:19
Speaker 1: this guy is an ace, but right now, when he's pitching,
10:22
Speaker 1: it's like ace Ventura. For the rest of the Pirates
10:25
Speaker 1: there it's not going so well there. And it's not misleading,
10:29
Speaker 1: it's insulting when this guy's pitching and you've only won
10:35
Speaker 1: one of he's only won one of the twelve starts,
10:37
Speaker 1: and yet he's got an ERA under two and the buckos.
10:42
Speaker 1: When you have a pitcher this good, right, it's like
10:46
Speaker 1: you've given a Michelin Star check. You're not apparently not
10:49
Speaker 1: able to eat at Michelin Star restaurants, courting and people
10:51
Speaker 1: I work with, But the Michelin Star chef. You give
10:53
Speaker 1: the chef a microwave and you say, make it work, right,
10:56
Speaker 1: just make it work. Put in the microwave, heat it up.
10:58
Speaker 1: But you've got a generational arm, like once in a
11:01
Speaker 1: generation the guy comes along like Paul Skins and you're
11:05
Speaker 1: essentially backing him with a super soaker water gun, is
11:09
Speaker 1: what you're doing on offense. And then the Buckos are
11:12
Speaker 1: looking at Picasso and they're using a Picasso. They bought
11:17
Speaker 1: a Picasso and they're using it as a coaster on
11:20
Speaker 1: the end table. It's a nice Pocasta. We'll put it
11:23
Speaker 1: down here, we'll put a drink on it, and that's it.
11:25
Speaker 1: And you keep hanging ls and he's pitching great, he's
11:29
Speaker 1: pitching amazingly. And you know, Paul Skins is everything he
11:33
Speaker 1: was supposed to be in terms of the hype and
11:35
Speaker 1: all that. And usually these guys don't live up to
11:37
Speaker 1: the hype. And we've ranted about a prospect as a
11:39
Speaker 1: suspect until proven otherwise, and he's done it. And yet
11:43
Speaker 1: the pirates are also living up to the hype. Everything
11:46
Speaker 1: we thought the Pirates were, they are when Paul Skins
11:49
Speaker 1: is on the mount. So this stretch, its signifies cut
11:53
Speaker 1: to the chase. It signifies that if he keeps us up,
11:56
Speaker 1: he is going to need some therapy, a trade. Both
12:00
Speaker 1: all of the above, all of that and the Pirates
12:04
Speaker 1: who have been given not because if they did any good,
12:08
Speaker 1: you get Paul Skins, because you're bad and you have
12:10
Speaker 1: a top pick in the draft, and they had a
12:11
Speaker 1: high pick and they got Paul Skins. They've been given
12:15
Speaker 1: this great pitcher and they're gonna blow it the flets
12:17
Speaker 1: it away and then eventually he'll be pitching for the Dodgers,
12:20
Speaker 1: of the Yankees, of the Red Sox, and they'll get
12:23
Speaker 1: a bag of suspects. All right, now, final point, So
12:27
Speaker 1: flipping the page, we mentioned the trade deadline we talked
12:29
Speaker 1: about last hour. Brian Reynolds of the Pirates. He's got
12:34
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars contract, he's not particularly great, and
12:39
Speaker 1: he's got a no trade list. So the Dodgers who
12:42
Speaker 1: would like to acquire his services cannot trade for him
12:45
Speaker 1: unless he approves the trade because he has them on
12:48
Speaker 1: their no trade list. So I mentioned that because another
12:51
Speaker 1: player who is likely going to be traded uh Eugenio Suarez,
12:57
Speaker 1: the third basem Gino swore As of the diamond back.
13:00
Speaker 1: He is grabbing a lot of attention here before the
13:02
Speaker 1: trade deadline, and he's got now twenty eight home runs,
13:06
Speaker 1: seventy three RBIs, and the Yankees and the Seattle Mariners,
13:12
Speaker 1: along with the Detroit Tigers and some other teams all
13:15
Speaker 1: said to be knocking on the door there saying, hey,
13:18
Speaker 1: can we get our hands on this guy? So how
13:20
Speaker 1: does all of that sound to you? How does all
13:23
Speaker 1: of that sound to you? So to me, Gino swore
13:27
Speaker 1: as the third baseman of the diamery right now. He's
13:30
Speaker 1: not just the flavor of the month here. That's one
13:33
Speaker 1: thing about the trade deadline. There's always got to be
13:35
Speaker 1: that flavor, that popular person for popular people. But he's
13:41
Speaker 1: pretty much the entire tasting menu if you look at
13:43
Speaker 1: who's likely going to be traded, and there was always
13:45
Speaker 1: the surprise. The great thing about sports is anyone can
13:47
Speaker 1: be traded at any time. If you don't believe me,
13:50
Speaker 1: ask Luka Doncik about that. The Mavericks just handed him
13:54
Speaker 1: away to the Lakers. So anything is possible in any sport.
13:58
Speaker 1: But here's a guy who's like a silver slugger candidate,
14:02
Speaker 1: and he's out there and it's you know, it's like, hey,
14:06
Speaker 1: this guy could be moved like a bowl of chili
14:09
Speaker 1: at a cookoff. Just get rid of this guy. That's it.
14:11
Speaker 1: And now the trade deadline looming, it's like a bad
14:15
Speaker 1: hangover for a lot of these teams.
14:16
Speaker 2: Here.
14:17
Speaker 1: The vultures are out circling around. And so of course
14:19
Speaker 1: the Yankees, who need a third basement, would say, all right,
14:23
Speaker 1: this guy Suarez, let's see we can get him. And
14:26
Speaker 1: it's like the last stake at a vegan pot luck.
14:30
Speaker 1: If you're the Yankees. They want to move Jazz Chisholm
14:33
Speaker 1: full time to second base and DJ Lemayhew to the
14:36
Speaker 1: bench or to the broadcast booth on the S network
14:39
Speaker 1: and just put him out there and have him do
14:41
Speaker 1: his thing. So there is that. And now the Mariners,
14:45
Speaker 1: that's that's the perfect Marin move. They had him, they
14:48
Speaker 1: traded him. He was in Seattle, came over from Cincinnati.
14:51
Speaker 1: They traded him to Arizona. So now they're like, well,
14:53
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get him back. It's like we got that
14:56
Speaker 1: item on Amazon. We returned it, but now we're going
14:59
Speaker 1: to buy it again. We already had it, but no,
15:02
Speaker 1: I know we won't. We we didn't appreciate it. But
15:04
Speaker 1: now we want it. We want to buy the item again,
15:06
Speaker 1: so we'll just do that. And now they're trying to
15:09
Speaker 1: undo the damage. So maybe I'll have a reunion tour.
15:12
Speaker 1: And there's some other teams mentioned. You know, it's like
15:15
Speaker 1: the Mariners, though, would be perfect. He's such a great
15:18
Speaker 1: classic Mariner move where they trade for a guy that
15:23
Speaker 1: it's like breaking up with your ex and then you
15:26
Speaker 1: watch the X go on and do some really good
15:27
Speaker 1: things and you're like, all right, well, let's see if
15:29
Speaker 1: we can get that get back together with the X.
15:31
Speaker 1: And the bottom line, though, he is a rental at
15:36
Speaker 1: the trade downline, which is why these big market teams
15:38
Speaker 1: likely won. And he's also thirty three years old, so
15:40
Speaker 1: he's at the end of his athletic prime and not
15:43
Speaker 1: hitting for much of an average, but that's a that's
15:45
Speaker 1: a boomer stat, that's an old head stat. That batting average,
15:48
Speaker 1: twenty eight home runs, and the numbers all indicate that
15:51
Speaker 1: he's still uber productive, still one of the better offensive
15:55
Speaker 1: power hitters in baseball, and the kind of a player
15:59
Speaker 1: that in a playoff run could play well for a
16:02
Speaker 1: couple of weeks in October and all of a sudden
16:05
Speaker 1: you get a hunk of metal. All right, It is

18:13
Speaker 1: like to be part of the show, you can interact
18:14
Speaker 1: to the phones and lines are full, so don't bother

Speaker 1: calling right now. But also available on the X machine

Speaker 1: at Ben Mahler. That's at Ben Mahler, Lorena, FSR Tech
18:28
Speaker 1: Queen and Coop Bronco Fan. Your comments can and we'll

Speaker 1: be used against you in the court of sports radio.
18:35
Speaker 1: Back to it all, right, back to it we go,
18:38
Speaker 1: and Josh in Nebraska says, Paul Schemes will become a Cub,
18:45
Speaker 1: he says, and haunt the Pirates twenty games a year. Well,
18:48
Speaker 1: he's not gonna start twenty games against the Chicago Cubs.
18:51
Speaker 1: Maybe three at the most, says. The Cubs are winning
18:54
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five World Series. Want to bet on that, Josh, Yeah,
18:58
Speaker 1: let's bet on that. Billy from Florida right since, says
19:01
Speaker 1: June and July have just been the seeing the best
19:05
Speaker 1: baseball being played in New York. I just haven't seen
19:08
Speaker 1: the best baseball being played in New York. The Mets
19:11
Speaker 1: have bounced back. Find the Yankees are hitting the wall.
19:14
Speaker 1: I saw coming, says Billy as he points that wee
19:19
Speaker 1: let's say the June gloom, but now it's July, so
19:22
Speaker 1: it's no longer the June gloom. What else do we have?
19:25
Speaker 1: Page down, Jill says, you are literally the only human
19:30
Speaker 1: being that speaks negatively about Aaron Judge. Well, I guess
19:35
Speaker 1: I'm on the right side. Everyone else is just a
19:37
Speaker 1: boot licker. Joe. You probably like those boot lickers more
19:39
Speaker 1: than me right, because it's your guy Aaron Judge.
19:42
Speaker 2: There.
19:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't say anything bad about him. That was
19:45
Speaker 1: a tone deaf comment thought by Aaron Judge. It's a
19:48
Speaker 1: bad job by him. I just go to the phones
19:49
Speaker 1: and we'll say hello to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Welcome,
19:57
Speaker 1: good evening.
19:57
Speaker 5: Ben, nice to be with you to start a new week.
20:02
Speaker 5: Starting off talking about situation with the Houston Astros.
20:06
Speaker 1: Okay, you didn't say you didn't You didn't. You didn't
20:08
Speaker 1: say that properly. You misspoke.
20:12
Speaker 5: I didn't misspoke emotion.
20:14
Speaker 1: You're supposed to say the cheating asstros.
20:20
Speaker 5: Yeah they are.
20:21
Speaker 6: They are cheated astros right.
20:27
Speaker 5: Like they got a Scarlett letter in terms of what
20:29
Speaker 5: the inn that they can't they can't get away from it.
20:31
Speaker 5: But for me, yes, they did sweep the Dodgers, you know,
20:35
Speaker 5: so they're walking tall for the time being. Even though
20:37
Speaker 5: the Dodgers are defending champions, I think they're no overall
20:40
Speaker 5: the better team.
20:41
Speaker 2: You know.
20:41
Speaker 5: So you're strutting and you know, feeling yourself at the moment,
20:45
Speaker 5: but we've got to push past it. There needs to
20:47
Speaker 5: be some sort of catharist with the app.
20:49
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll make a deal with you, all right, I
20:52
Speaker 1: agree with you, all right. So jose Al tub is
20:54
Speaker 1: banned from baseball for life, Alex Bregman is banned from
20:58
Speaker 1: baseball for life. Let's see who else you sind the
21:03
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen World Series trophy. You void that, then I'll
21:07
Speaker 1: be good. I will never call them the cheating a
21:09
Speaker 1: holes again. How about that deal? That's all I ask,
21:12
Speaker 1: that's all, that's all, that's all I want those three things. Now.
21:16
Speaker 1: I'm willing to exchange maybe Bregman for George Springer, who
21:22
Speaker 1: was the I believe, the MVP of that World Series.
21:24
Speaker 1: But all of them should be banned for life. How
21:27
Speaker 1: about that? That seems fair?
21:28
Speaker 5: Right, Ben? I know you're you're a learned individual. It
21:32
Speaker 5: seems like you just got finished reading Crime and Punishment.
21:35
Speaker 1: By Well, you said you want me to move past this.
21:39
Speaker 1: So for me to move past what the a holes
21:41
Speaker 1: did they you first take away? It's just a hunk
21:44
Speaker 1: of metal. Corder Rob Manford, the gutless, spineless commissioner Major
21:47
Speaker 1: League Baseball. So you take the trophy away, that's easy.
21:49
Speaker 1: That should be no problems, just a hunk of metal.
21:51
Speaker 1: Who cares? And then you know you've been l two
21:54
Speaker 1: A for life. You rescind the MVP award from twenty
21:57
Speaker 1: seventeen because that doesn't count because he was gee and
22:01
Speaker 1: you get rid of George Springer and Bregman and every
22:04
Speaker 1: single member of that team boom done. That seems fair
22:08
Speaker 1: And I promise you, I promise I will absolutely move on.
22:13
Speaker 1: That's all I asked. That's what is not to like
22:15
Speaker 1: about that? Andre? What's what? What is incorrect?
22:18
Speaker 7: Yeah?
22:19
Speaker 5: Goodness, that's like three strikes here. We're going back to
22:21
Speaker 5: the eighties. That sounds like the Rocketfeller lost in me
22:23
Speaker 5: very hard.
22:24
Speaker 1: Well what what what?
22:24
Speaker 7: What?
22:25
Speaker 5: What?
22:25
Speaker 1: What do you recommend?
22:27
Speaker 7: Okay?
22:27
Speaker 5: So first of all, MVP trophy, we got to take
22:30
Speaker 5: that away, MVP trophy.
22:31
Speaker 1: Okay.
22:32
Speaker 5: Then there's got to be some sort of there's got
22:33
Speaker 5: to be some sort of asterisk with the what the world?
22:36
Speaker 1: There's no as you just take it away. That's it.
22:38
Speaker 1: There's no asterisk. You just take it away. You just
22:41
Speaker 1: make advantage it doesn't you just don't put no championship.
22:44
Speaker 5: You know what I think that I'm looking for for
22:47
Speaker 5: me personally, Okay, because we learned this, you know from Seinfeld.
22:51
Speaker 5: You know, there has to be some sort of apology. Okay,
22:54
Speaker 5: if you go on that line, okay, and you act
22:56
Speaker 5: and inappropriately as George did, no soup for you, okay,
23:00
Speaker 5: and it's understood, and you want to so to the astros,
23:03
Speaker 5: I need some short no.
23:05
Speaker 1: No, we're we're past that. It's it's twenty twenty five.
23:08
Speaker 1: We're past that. We're done.
23:10
Speaker 5: No, no word, no and no work.
23:13
Speaker 1: We're good and we're good. Ban Altuve for life.
23:17
Speaker 5: But he had that run today. He's a good hitter.
23:22
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard for him to hit home run
23:24
Speaker 1: of his band for life.
23:27
Speaker 5: Hardclus I just feel like, you know, for all the
23:30
Speaker 5: verdictally challenged people, you know what I mean, because you
23:32
Speaker 5: got all this stuff out.
23:32
Speaker 1: Oh so you're you like him because he's a little
23:34
Speaker 1: fella al to you like size, like you everybody. I'm
23:39
Speaker 1: not sick. I'm not six. I'm not six for I
23:42
Speaker 1: am not.
23:43
Speaker 5: You tower over done over this.
23:45
Speaker 1: I know, I look right up here. Okay, I know
23:49
Speaker 1: all right.
23:50
Speaker 5: So so so here's what I'm saying.
23:51
Speaker 7: Here's my fine.
23:52
Speaker 5: I need.
23:53
Speaker 7: I need an apology.
23:53
Speaker 5: The MVP trophy can go. I need an asterisk on
23:56
Speaker 5: the World series Okay, and then I need they need
23:58
Speaker 5: to need need to be some sort of financial No.
24:01
Speaker 1: I don't care about the I don't care about the finances.
24:04
Speaker 1: I don't care now the finances. I don't care about it.
24:06
Speaker 1: Just panel touve have him pay back the salary he's
24:10
Speaker 1: made since twenty seventeen, and then we will be good.
24:13
Speaker 1: How about that.
24:13
Speaker 5: He's an issue with al Tube, then I think there's
24:16
Speaker 5: a Napoleon issue with you and l Tub. He has
24:18
Speaker 5: an Napoleon comedy.
24:21
Speaker 1: The Man, the Man. The man cheated in the World Series,
24:24
Speaker 1: and he was wearing a buzzer, in my opinion, during
24:26
Speaker 1: the American League Championship Series, and that's why they wouldn't
24:29
Speaker 1: allow him to take his jersey off. He would not
24:31
Speaker 1: allow that because he had a buzzer on. You do
24:35
Speaker 1: understand andre like Baseball did a shoddy investigation. The only
24:39
Speaker 1: reason Baseball, by the way, I want to point out,
24:40
Speaker 1: they investigated while they were cheating. In twenty seventeen, the
24:44
Speaker 1: Athletics and some other teams in baseball contacted Major League
24:47
Speaker 1: Baseball and said, hey, these guys, they're doing something. They're cheating.
24:50
Speaker 1: Baseball investigated said where everything's good, We're all kosher. Nothing's
24:54
Speaker 1: wrong here. Everything's all right while they were doing it.
24:57
Speaker 1: It was only after a member of the team said,
25:01
Speaker 1: is that Andre? Is that your dog? Andre? Willis picking
25:04
Speaker 1: up what.
25:05
Speaker 5: You're putting down, Ben, And you waited Willis, as far
25:07
Speaker 5: as I'm concerning, all right, he's on your side. For me,
25:10
Speaker 5: I think I'm against the Lifetime band because baseball did
25:13
Speaker 5: it with Pete Roseen and they finally walked it back
25:15
Speaker 5: post humously.
25:16
Speaker 1: Well, listen went now is dead. He can come back
25:18
Speaker 1: in baseball. I've got that done. We'll let him back here.
25:21
Speaker 1: He died in a year.
25:22
Speaker 5: Band, You've got to go for a year.
25:24
Speaker 1: But we needed we Well I would have been okay
25:26
Speaker 1: with a year and when it was announced, like twenty
25:28
Speaker 1: nineteen or whenever the thing came out, the story came out.
25:31
Speaker 1: But it's been too long, so we moved on. Now
25:33
Speaker 1: it's time lifetime.
25:36
Speaker 5: My last conclusion al has short king energy. So it's
25:38
Speaker 5: a year band, I'm saying. You're saying lifetime. I'm saying
25:41
Speaker 5: a year so we can come back and hit the
25:42
Speaker 5: jacks and give everybody under six feet some confidence for
25:45
Speaker 5: me and Willis. Ben, it's good to.
25:46
Speaker 7: Be with you.
25:47
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you, thank you.
25:51
Speaker 1: All right, there's Andre where he goes. Only he knows
25:56
Speaker 1: the one and only Andre. Later hour, we do have
25:59
Speaker 1: Mallard third degree. That'll be coming up a little bit
26:02
Speaker 1: later in the hour. The fatherly shout. So some video
26:05
Speaker 1: has made the rounds on the interweb, and I've seen it,
26:09
Speaker 1: and it claims to show Yankee shortstop Anthony Volpi's father
26:16
Speaker 1: going at it with a Mets fan, the daddy, the
26:19
Speaker 1: dad of Anthony Volpi at the Mets Yankees game on Sunday,
26:25
Speaker 1: a very annoying Mets fan. Do you even have to
26:28
Speaker 1: say annoying Mets fan? Is there a Mets fan that
26:31
Speaker 1: is not annoying? Anyway, this Mets fan was talking some
26:36
Speaker 1: trash about the kid Volpi and the dad was sitting
26:41
Speaker 1: a couple of rows behind him and wearing his Yankee
26:45
Speaker 1: hat and had enough and so he got into it
26:49
Speaker 1: with the Mets fan and it was all captured on
26:52
Speaker 1: grainy cell phone footage. There was no physical viose. It
26:57
Speaker 1: was more of a profanity situation between the father of
27:00
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpey. Now Anthony Volpi though, is not what he
27:05
Speaker 1: was supposed to be. And we talk about prospect being
27:08
Speaker 1: a suspect until proven otherwise, But Anthony Volpi, who was
27:12
Speaker 1: going to be the next great Yankee shortstop and all
27:14
Speaker 1: that stuff. He's got a lot of clunkers. Can I
27:18
Speaker 1: watch a fair amount of baseball every day, and when
27:20
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Yankees, there's a lot of clunky baseball
27:24
Speaker 1: from Anthony Volpi. Who you know. The overall numbers, I
27:29
Speaker 1: guess it depends what you look at. He's batting average
27:32
Speaker 1: ank great, that's an old stat. Batting average, he's got
27:34
Speaker 1: ten home runs, just seems pretty run of the mill.
27:39
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like he's all that great. You know,
27:41
Speaker 1: he's just kind of there and you could do better
27:43
Speaker 1: than Anthony Volpi. And the numbers are just kind of eh.
27:48
Speaker 1: And he plays at a little league ballpark. It's a
27:51
Speaker 1: joke of a ballpark, Yankee Stadium. It's not a real
27:54
Speaker 1: ballpark with those dimensions they have at Yankee Stadium. So
27:58
Speaker 1: he's on pace to hit eighteen home runs, thirty eight
28:00
Speaker 1: doubles and all that, and that's great. He's also on
28:02
Speaker 1: pace to strike out one hundred and sixty two times.
28:04
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Strikedowns don't matter, and all that. Anyway's
28:07
Speaker 1: go back to the falls. Let's say hello to Jerome
28:09
Speaker 1: in Charleston. Bring it home, Jerome.
28:13
Speaker 2: Hello Jerome, So so you saw my name and you
28:17
Speaker 2: decided to bring up the incongruity of Yankee Stadium along
28:21
Speaker 2: with other baseball.
28:23
Speaker 7: Stadiums in America, the people playing with the two hundred
28:27
Speaker 7: and ninety five foot right field. Hey, what about the
28:30
Speaker 7: Dodger Statey? He saw the guy comes forty your little
28:33
Speaker 7: home run the other day, and their right field corner
28:36
Speaker 7: ain't much banner once are like two hundred and twenty
28:39
Speaker 7: three after oh one, jevany one got a home one
28:42
Speaker 7: because they.
28:44
Speaker 1: First of all, you're you might be drinking too much
28:46
Speaker 1: if you think Dodger Stadium is anywhere close to Yankee
28:49
Speaker 1: Stadium in terms.
28:49
Speaker 7: Of people right field corner.
28:51
Speaker 1: It's like three thirty three or three four or something
28:55
Speaker 1: like that.
28:56
Speaker 7: A lot. They're allot the mansion for you, retell you
29:00
Speaker 7: what's ter ration would look like? How they get away
29:03
Speaker 7: with that? Hey? By the way, I was looking to
29:06
Speaker 7: some of your people on h on Fox Sports Radio talking.
29:09
Speaker 1: Not my They're not my people. I don't I don't
29:11

29:15
Speaker 1: for four hours of talk radio to day. I am
29:17
Speaker 1: not responsible for these comments made by anything.
29:19
Speaker 7: I know you're not going I don't.
29:20
Speaker 1: I don't hire them, I don't pay them. I don't

Speaker 7: they don't take phone calls.
29:28
Speaker 1: All right, Well say, of course they don't take phone call.
29:31
Speaker 1: Why would they take phone calls because you'll call up.
29:33
Speaker 1: That's why they don't take phone calls.
29:35
Speaker 7: Yeah, they won't talk to people like me from Charleston.
29:37
Speaker 7: He don't know anything anyway, Still aggression and king about
29:41
Speaker 7: hersh heise and there's three thousand strikeouts, but I'm Kerry
29:44
Speaker 7: shouts that's not her.
29:46
Speaker 2: I mean.
29:49
Speaker 7: If playoff against the Age a couple of years ago
29:53
Speaker 7: where he was like two and on one on one
29:57
Speaker 7: e all a, I don't think he's uh saw his
30:01
Speaker 7: favorite Clayer because he called him bulldog.
30:04
Speaker 1: That was not a few years ago. That was almost
30:06
Speaker 1: forty years ago. I know it was more than a
30:09
Speaker 1: few few years ago. That was a long time ago.
30:11
Speaker 7: I was still brings back memories, man, because I have
30:16
Speaker 7: I haven't seen anything like that for the long time. One.
30:19
Speaker 1: Well, that's not even your way. Wait wait, hold on,
30:21
Speaker 1: what I hate to do this because he's an evil Giant,
30:24
Speaker 1: but Madison Bumgardner was. It was similar for the Giants.
30:29
Speaker 1: In a couple of playoff runs. He was insane for
30:31
Speaker 1: the San Francisco Giants. That was, in my bum Gardner
30:35
Speaker 1: consistently the greatest postseason pitcher I've seen. And Hershizer for
30:40
Speaker 1: that one year was awesome for the Dodgers, but mad.
30:44
Speaker 7: Bum went against the as one of the most dynamic
30:48
Speaker 7: teams in baseball history. They won one hundred and four games,
30:53
Speaker 7: two and all. What a one ear and over fifty
30:57
Speaker 7: something straight innings without a run scored with him.
31:01
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna break We're not breaking down the
31:03
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight World Series, and next hour we're gonna
31:06
Speaker 1: break down the nineteen eighty four Detroit Tigers. We'll talk
31:09
Speaker 1: about sweet Little Whitaker and Alan.
31:12
Speaker 7: One thing deal with people trying to get dive bonds
31:15
Speaker 7: in the Hall of fam Dive bonds will never get
31:18
Speaker 7: in the Hall of tam And as far as Sammy,
31:22
Speaker 7: he looks like a.
31:23
Speaker 1: White guy now so well, no, he went back to
31:25
Speaker 1: being a black guy. Now. I saw it, and the
31:27
Speaker 1: Cubs had him in a game he looked like I
31:29
Speaker 1: saw him at Wrigley feel he's back to being the
31:31
Speaker 1: old Sam know this blah, that's right, that's the great
31:34
Speaker 1: la Matt used to call the show back in the day.
31:36
Speaker 7: And I was looking at some stuff because one of
31:39
Speaker 7: the things that can do to you is deal with
31:41
Speaker 7: your skin pigmentation. Why would you no.
31:44
Speaker 1: Come on? So, so he admitted he was taking stuff
31:47
Speaker 1: to whiteen his skin. He said that there's stories where
31:51
Speaker 1: we talked about it, like he's that's why he was
31:53
Speaker 1: doing that. I don't know why he was doing but
31:54
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do something. I don't know. You'd have
31:57
Speaker 1: to ask him. I'm not doing it. He was the
31:59
Speaker 1: one doing it. I don't know why I did it.
32:00
Speaker 1: He did it. But I don't know why I did it.
32:02
Speaker 1: He did it. But but by the way, at your home,
32:05
Speaker 1: you do realize there are players in the Hall of
32:07
Speaker 1: Fame that were doing steroids, Like so, why would you
32:10
Speaker 1: eliminate Bonds and Sosa when there are guys in there
32:13
Speaker 1: that are steroid guys? So what's the point keeping the
32:16
Speaker 1: comments and clements made.
32:19
Speaker 7: I know the comment was made to well Barr should
32:22
Speaker 7: be because everybody was doing it. What a damn line.
32:26
Speaker 1: No, no, no, My my argument my argument. You're home
32:28
Speaker 1: at the time, and I said this for you. We
32:30
Speaker 1: used to fight. There was a guy who worked at MLB.
32:32
Speaker 1: He was like a houseman for baseball. I forget the
32:35
Speaker 1: guy's name. Used to be our insider here at Fox
32:37
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, and we would fight with him all. I
32:38
Speaker 1: would fight with the mall Toney's all He's go. I say,
32:41
Speaker 1: don't let any of them in. But I there are
32:43
Speaker 1: people in multiple players that were I believe in my opinion.
32:46
Speaker 1: You can't assume it's my opinion. We're steroid guys who
32:49
Speaker 1: were in the Hall of Fame. So why are you
32:50
Speaker 1: gonna deprive of Barry Bonds of being a hall of
32:53
Speaker 1: fame when you've already opened the doors of Cooperstown to
32:56
Speaker 1: steroid cheats. So let them in. Let them ally, all right,
33:02
Speaker 1: my opinion, David Ortiz and Mike Piazza are in the
33:06
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Jeff Bagwell's another one. Yeah, yeah, okay,
33:12
Speaker 1: so they're in the Hall of Fame my opinion. You
33:14
Speaker 1: can't say it's my opinion.
33:18
Speaker 7: Has an awful relationship with the media, definitely.
33:21
Speaker 1: Well, yes, he's an a hole. Berry. I dealt with
33:24
Speaker 1: him back in those days. He was a schmock. He is,
33:26
Speaker 1: He's aid, you know, he's a just a I can't
33:29
Speaker 1: say what I want to say, but he's not a
33:30
Speaker 1: good dude. You know, he treats people.
33:32
Speaker 7: Like crapping Buddy Tom.
33:36
Speaker 1: Then the Boston Red Sox. He's an ambassador for the
33:42
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox. He's on the payroll with He's on
33:45
Speaker 1: the payroll the Boston Red Sox. He is in fact,
33:49
Speaker 1: remember remember the David Ortiz was he was texting Raphael
33:54
Speaker 1: Devers and ignored him because, you know, Devers realizes that
33:58
Speaker 1: David Ortiz works for the Red Soie. So he's inside
34:02
Speaker 1: by the wait, the.
34:03
Speaker 7: Managers for the afters of that time they were a chieving.
34:06
Speaker 7: Guess where he met.
34:07
Speaker 1: I know I said that early. Yes, I know he's
34:10
Speaker 1: with Detroit. Yeah, all right, are you done? I feel
34:14
Speaker 1: like you're bullguarding the show. Are a You had to think?
34:17
Speaker 1: Go away? All right? Go? Thank you? All right? Very
34:20
Speaker 1: long call from Jerome in Charleston. So wonderful. Absolutely, So
34:26
Speaker 1: here's an odd choice. Major League Baseball has ended their
34:31
Speaker 1: television contract with ESPN, although they are renegotiating. They hit
34:37
Speaker 1: the eject button from that contract. So on Sunday, ESPN
34:42
Speaker 1: decided while the All Star Selection Show was going on,
34:46
Speaker 1: what did they show on ESPN instead? We are told
34:49
Speaker 1: I did not see this because I was watching something else.
34:52
Speaker 1: But they apparently showed cornhole instead of the All Star
34:57
Speaker 1: Selection show. Nice game of corner, like the kind of
35:00
Speaker 1: game that you would play at a Fourth of July barbecue,
35:04
Speaker 1: And they said, let's see what we got going on.
35:07
Speaker 1: It was the corn Hole Championship and I guess it
35:13
Speaker 1: went long or something like that. I think that's what happened.
35:16
Speaker 1: The start of the All Star Selection show was delayed
35:19
Speaker 1: for at least ten minutes because of some competitive cornhole
35:25
Speaker 1: and when it's close, it's nail bidding time. And the
35:29
Speaker 1: show was supposed to begin at five o'clock Eastern time,
35:33
Speaker 1: but it was preempted by not amateur, but professional corn
35:37
Speaker 1: hole and there you go. So they say, that's it.
35:41
Speaker 1: People are pointing out, what are you doing? I tuned in.
35:44
Speaker 1: I want to watch this and we had to delay
35:47
Speaker 1: it because of the nice cornhole game. A right, it
35:49
Speaker 1: is the Ben Mal Show. Well that sure that'll be
35:52
Speaker 1: brought up and baseball negotiats. I've heard some varying rumors.
35:57
Speaker 1: My TV friends telling me that NBC involved, that they
36:01
Speaker 1: might everyone wants to get baseball on their streaming package,
36:04
Speaker 1: but baseball wants to be on regular cable television. So
36:08
Speaker 1: there's like, what are we gonna do? How they gonna
36:10
Speaker 1: divide the games? Up time? Now for the Insta Trivia,

39:43
Speaker 6: The Miami Dolphins had one of the top offensives in
39:46
Speaker 6: the NFL in twenty twenty three, but missed the playoffs
39:48
Speaker 6: last year. The summer saying the team is teetering on
39:50
Speaker 6: the edge of a franchise reset. But do you think
39:53
Speaker 6: the jobs of Tula and McDaniel are on the line
39:56
Speaker 6: next season?
39:56
Speaker 1: Well, as you heard last week, I know you weren't here,

40:06
Speaker 1: on the podcast down load, absolutely to and Mike McDaniel

Speaker 6: Next cal Raley has reached new career high in home
40:23

40:25
Speaker 6: the All Star break. In fact, he's tied Ken Griffy
40:27
Speaker 6: Junior's Mariners record for most dingers before the break. Do
40:30
Speaker 6: you think the al MVP is the big numbers to lose?
40:33
Speaker 1: No, Because the Mariners are a playoff team. They're a
40:36
Speaker 1: wild kid team, so are the Yankees. But Aaron Judge
40:38
Speaker 1: is in the lead and he's It would be a
40:42
Speaker 1: monumental upset if Aaron Judge does not win the MVP
40:45
Speaker 1: Award in the Americanly and Cal Rawley's been great and
40:47
Speaker 1: wonderful and all that, but he plays in Seattle. That's

40:53
Speaker 6: be signed with them through twenty thirty. With Durant now
40:56

40:58
Speaker 6: think that Booker is a player worth building around?
41:00
Speaker 1: Well, they can try. They were in the finals against Milwaukee.
41:04
Speaker 1: They couldn't get it done. They're not gonna win with
41:06
Speaker 1: Devin Booker as their headliner. It's not gonna work. How
41:08
Speaker 1: do we do it is that's a win? Put on
41:11
Speaker 1: the ball.
