0:12
Speaker 1: And I remember to listen to that fifth hour podcast
0:14
Speaker 1: as we yap at the y app tell a story
0:17
Speaker 1: about the amazing, amazing thing that took place the other
0:21
Speaker 1: day that embarrassed about, but I'll share it with you.
0:24
Speaker 1: And it's a sea of red that caused something else
0:28
Speaker 1: to happen that I didn't really want to happen and
0:30
Speaker 1: I was trying to avoid have happened, and the whole
0:32
Speaker 1: thing anyway. So here in hour number two, are you
0:34
Speaker 1: sad to see Clayton Kershaw retire from the Dodgers? Hearing
0:38
Speaker 1: a lot of sappy conversation about Kershaw. Will the Dodgers
0:42
Speaker 1: rally around Clayton Kershaw to win the twenty twenty five
0:45
Speaker 1: World Series? It's another popular talking point. And what is
0:49
Speaker 1: the legacy of Clayton Kershaw? You're not gonna like what
0:53
Speaker 1: I have to say if you're a Kershaw Stan We'll
0:56
Speaker 1: get to that and more right now here. It is
0:59
Speaker 1: our number two. It's Clayton's last stand. Welcome in the
1:07
Speaker 1: beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We
1:11
Speaker 1: are in the air everywhere as we are right at
1:18
Speaker 1: your fingerchip fingertips, and we give you an elbow right
1:24
Speaker 1: to the funny bone, unless we don't coast to coast,
1:27
Speaker 1: border the border and beyond on the vast and vivaciously
1:32
Speaker 1: powerful microphones of fsre am monating live from the fresh
1:39
Speaker 1: aisle as in our takes are always fresh and never frozen,
1:45
Speaker 1: direct from farm to plate from the world famous Fox
1:48
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Emmett the Blind Seahawk
1:51
Speaker 1: Fan in this portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox,
1:54
Speaker 1: made possible by our friends at ty Iraq. For over
1:57
Speaker 1: forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
2:00
Speaker 1: right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship
2:03
Speaker 1: fasted free back by free Road has their protection with
2:07
Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire Installation, Tire act dot
2:12
Speaker 1: Com the way tire buying should be. So our lead
2:16
Speaker 1: this hour is from baseball. Some of our p ones
2:21
Speaker 1: were upset that I did not begin the show with this.
2:25
Speaker 1: I felt it was not worthy of top billing on
2:28
Speaker 1: and I have editorial control. I have editorial control, so
2:31
Speaker 1: that was my my decision. So the story here, the
2:36
Speaker 1: end of the road, the end of the road. That's right,
2:40
Speaker 1: Nana nana nan naa. Good bye Clayton Kershaw. We learned
2:48
Speaker 1: that the Dodger pitcher Clayton Kershaw is quitting baseball. He's done.
2:52
Speaker 1: That's it. He will finally retire, hallelujah at the end
2:56
Speaker 1: of the season. Eighteen years in Major League Baseball and
2:59
Speaker 1: really stealing money for the last five or six. Kershaw's
3:02
Speaker 1: final start of the regular season at Dodgers Stadium will
3:06
Speaker 1: take place later on Friday night against the Giants. The
3:11
Speaker 1: Dodgers currently lead the National League wild card race, and
3:16
Speaker 1: they are right there with the Padres neck and neck.
3:20
Speaker 1: Down the stretch. They actually lead the Padres in the division.
3:22
Speaker 1: It is unlikely they're going to be in the wildcard round.
3:26
Speaker 1: That's the problem, because they're not gonna have one of
3:28
Speaker 1: the top two records. So it is unlikely though that
3:30
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, his old bag of bones, will be in
3:34
Speaker 1: the postseason rotation. So Kershaw will be making his final
3:38
Speaker 1: start barring several Tommy John injuries, which is not out
3:41
Speaker 1: of the question. With Dave Roberts and the Nerds managing
3:44
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. So Kershaw is thirty seven, and he will
3:48
Speaker 1: make his final start against the Higantes, long time rivals there,
3:54
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Dodgers, and then he will fade away,
3:57
Speaker 1: become a team ambassador and still get paid a ton
4:01
Speaker 1: of money to do nothing, which is pretty much what
4:03
Speaker 1: he's been doing the last several years. So it is
4:06
Speaker 1: the hour of Clayton Kershaw. Let's discuss. Let's get into it.
4:10
Speaker 1: The question, are you sad to see Clayton Kershaw retire
4:16
Speaker 1: from the Dodgers. I'm getting that vibe. All this is
4:17
Speaker 1: a sad thing. So my observations on this. I've got
4:21
Speaker 1: Christmas Light, clown College, and Wendy's and we will combine
4:27
Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
4:30
Speaker 1: make your Babushka's favorite tiketos. You probably didn't think You're
4:33
Speaker 1: Babushka had a favorite taketo, but I'm guessing she does
4:37
Speaker 1: so number All right, Am I supposed to shed a
4:42
Speaker 1: tear here? No? Do I need to go out and
4:46
Speaker 1: get a clean xbox or something like that. Get a tissue? Please?
4:49
Speaker 1: It's time. It is I do not understand the coverage.
4:53
Speaker 1: It has been time. It has been time This is
4:58
Speaker 1: not a sad thing. This is a great thing. He
5:00
Speaker 1: should have retired five years ago. Instead, Kershaw has been
5:04
Speaker 1: hanging out at Dodgers Stadium like that one Christmas light
5:07
Speaker 1: you forgot to take down, and then you realize, wait
5:10
Speaker 1: a minute's June, I should have taken that down. Why
5:11
Speaker 1: is that thing still there? A part time player body
5:15
Speaker 1: breaking down year after year after year, and the Dodgers
5:19
Speaker 1: kept re signing him every season. They kept running his
5:21
Speaker 1: old ass out there like he's still the cy young pitcher.
5:27
Speaker 1: And since the pandemic, you realized Kershaw. Here we are
5:31
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Since the pandemic, Kershaw has one season
5:35
Speaker 1: over one hundred and thirty innings pissed one. That is
5:38
Speaker 1: mascot territory. That is mascot territory. You're paying him to
5:42
Speaker 1: sit in the dugout and look nostalgic in the uniform.
5:46
Speaker 1: That's what they've been doing. He's been well. Pat Kershaw's
5:48
Speaker 1: earned eighty six million dollars since twenty twenty one for
5:52
Speaker 1: a guy who at best is a midweek starter and
5:56
Speaker 1: at worst a just a good luck charm you like
5:59
Speaker 1: to have on the team. And listen, I'm not gonna
6:02
Speaker 1: sit here and say, at his peak, he was an
6:04
Speaker 1: amazing regular season player, an amazing regular season pitcher. No
6:09
Speaker 1: one is denying that. No one's denying that. The last
6:12
Speaker 1: couple of years, it's been Weekend at Bernie's is what
6:14
Speaker 1: it's been. The baseball version. The Dodgers kept propping him
6:18
Speaker 1: up because it made everyone feel all warm and fuzzy.
6:22
Speaker 1: Oh we've got Kershaw. And so they end up just
6:26
Speaker 1: burning money for a part time pitcher because he used
6:29
Speaker 1: to be good. If anything, the Dodger fan, the real
6:33
Speaker 1: Dodger fan, should be relieved. It clears the deck. No
6:36
Speaker 1: more pretending, no more make believe with Kershaw, and you
6:40
Speaker 1: can still have him out there and parade him out
6:42
Speaker 1: and pay him a bunch of money to be a
6:44
Speaker 1: team ambassador and one of those no show jobs and
6:48
Speaker 1: all that, and so move on. Somebody else will be
6:51
Speaker 1: in there. They'll be fine. Now, page two. This is
6:54
Speaker 1: something that I kept hearing and reading, and I wanted
6:57
Speaker 1: to give my two cents on this. There's a popular
6:59
Speaker 1: opinion among popular people the baseball blogger world, the blogger sphere,
7:06
Speaker 1: that the Dodgers are going to be inspired by Clayton Kershaw.
7:11
Speaker 1: So will the Dodgers rally around Clayton Kershaw to win
7:15
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five World Series. They're gonna win the
7:19
Speaker 1: series for Kershaw, all right, So let's tackle this. This
7:23
Speaker 1: is a Hollywood script that is now being passed around
7:26
Speaker 1: as the gospel. So on this one, I have a
7:30
Speaker 1: few words. Are you out of your mind? This is
7:33
Speaker 1: the kind of drek, absolute drek, that they give out
7:37
Speaker 1: in Sportswriter clown College. You go to Sportswriter clown College,
7:42
Speaker 1: you cue the montage aging hero championship bath, fade to black.
7:49
Speaker 1: That's it, right, It's remember the Titans meets Fields of
7:52
Speaker 1: Dream Fields of Dream Dreams. Rather and only it's the
7:57
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Dodgers, who've looked more like a country
8:01
Speaker 1: club softball team than a bunch of dolls. I want
8:05
Speaker 1: some dogs. I don't even know cats. I need a dog. No,
8:09
Speaker 1: the Huches are not dogs, they're kiddi cats. And that's
8:12
Speaker 1: just the way they've been all year. Now will that change?
8:14
Speaker 1: I'm not holding my breath for that to change. But
8:16
Speaker 1: this group has been mostly spineless this year. It's a
8:19
Speaker 1: roster of floaters and said, oh, they're a playoff team.
8:22
Speaker 1: How could you say that they're an underachieving team. This
8:24
Speaker 1: team should have won one hundred and ten games, and
8:26
Speaker 1: they're gonna sneak into the playoffs. It's embarrassing. And the
8:29
Speaker 1: guys who walk into that Dodger clubhouse, they collect their
8:32
Speaker 1: giant fat checks, good for them, and they coast along
8:35
Speaker 1: the trainer's room at Dodger Stadium. I'm told it's not
8:40
Speaker 1: a medical facility, it's a social club. They ought to
8:43
Speaker 1: have a bartender and they're handing out mohidos. My god,
8:47
Speaker 1: this is the mantra of the franchise. Do the bare minimum.
8:51
Speaker 1: They've institutionalized this, and Kershaw has been a part of it.
8:54
Speaker 1: You don't push pitchers, you don't push players, you don't
8:57
Speaker 1: push anyone. It just floats along and hash to check
9:00
Speaker 1: and Andrew Friedman is the smartest guy in the world.
9:02
Speaker 1: And Dave Roberts just hits all the right buttons. Blah
9:04
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
9:06
Speaker 1: blah blah. And now we're supposed to sit here, you
9:10
Speaker 1: and I and pretend that you know the media spin
9:13
Speaker 1: is accurate. They're selling you They're gonna do it for Kershaw. Okay,
9:18
Speaker 1: all right, so place, he's already got his storybook moment
9:23
Speaker 1: it happened last year. He's already got two championships. Okay.
9:27
Speaker 1: And the man's career earnings are north of three hundred
9:31
Speaker 1: million dollars. He does not need one more for the roade,
9:35
Speaker 1: does not need one more for the road. Now, on
9:37
Speaker 1: a positive note, on a positive note, thank god he
9:41
Speaker 1: didn't do one of those disgusting retirement tours. Will I
9:44
Speaker 1: will compliment Kershaw. I'm not a big fan of his,
9:47
Speaker 1: but I will compliment Kershaw on this. You know, the
9:50
Speaker 1: the over the top look at me, rocking chairs at
9:54
Speaker 1: every city, cowboy boots in Texas, pitching rubber in San Francisco,
9:59
Speaker 1: the guitar in Cleveland, the lego set in San Diego,
10:04
Speaker 1: all of that crap that's destined for a landfall. He
10:06
Speaker 1: didn't do that, all right, Now, Kershaw was forced, I
10:11
Speaker 1: don't forced is the right word. He was strongly encouraged
10:13
Speaker 1: by Rob Manford. And the chatter is this has been
10:16
Speaker 1: an open secret that everyone knew this was his last year.
10:19
Speaker 1: Thus Major League Baseball allowed Kershaw, who had no business
10:23
Speaker 1: sniffing the All Star Game. They dragged him out there
10:26
Speaker 1: much like the Dodgers do at Dodger Stadium as a mascot,
10:28
Speaker 1: and they said, you know, you don't deserve to be
10:30
Speaker 1: on the All Star team, but we're gonna put you
10:32
Speaker 1: there anyway and give you a farewell moment. Remember the
10:35
Speaker 1: All Star Game in Atlanta. So they dragged him to
10:37
Speaker 1: Georgia for a very weird public sponge bath as a sendoff.
10:41
Speaker 1: It was gross, But otherwise, Kershaw, for the most part,
10:45
Speaker 1: has pulled an Irish goodbye, goodbye good job by him.
10:49
Speaker 1: You slip out the side door, no fuss, no circus.
10:52
Speaker 1: That's the right way to do it. That is the
10:54
Speaker 1: right way to do it. So I do appreciate Kershaw
10:57
Speaker 1: for leaving the right way. I wish he would have
10:59
Speaker 1: done it five years ago, but that's fine, all right.
11:01
Speaker 1: Final point. Now we're going to get into the ugly
11:05
Speaker 1: part of the Kershaw story. And unfortunately I'm not sitting
11:10
Speaker 1: here with my cheerleading outfit on. I left that in
11:13
Speaker 1: the other room, pulled that out for certain occasions. Here's
11:17
Speaker 1: the final point. What is the legacy of Clayton Kershaw.
11:20
Speaker 1: It's got one more regular season start? What is his legacy? Right? Now,
11:26
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw is the most frustrating type of player to
11:31
Speaker 1: ever have play for your team. Do you agree or
11:36
Speaker 1: disagree with that? Let me make my elevator pitch why
11:38
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw is the most frustrating type of player you
11:41
Speaker 1: could ever follow. As a fan of athletic competition. In
11:45
Speaker 1: the regular season, Clayton Kershaw has been a wagon, an
11:51
Speaker 1: absolute wagon of fire hose. He would mow down the
11:55
Speaker 1: Arizona Diamondbacks on a Wednesday night Dodger Stadium and it
11:59
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Wednesday night, May crazy crazy. He was like
12:05
Speaker 1: Sandy Kofax reincarnated, even though Sandy's still alive. Complete Buzsaw
12:10
Speaker 1: and then October would come around with Clayton Kershaw and
12:13
Speaker 1: you'd be all excited, greatest picture of this generation, bright lights,
12:16
Speaker 1: big stage, and on the way to the ballpark, I'm
12:19
Speaker 1: convinced that Clayton Kershaw would go down to Windy's, he
12:21
Speaker 1: would order a frosty and by the time he got
12:24
Speaker 1: to the ballpark, he'd have eaten the frosty and then
12:26
Speaker 1: he immediately suffered brain freeze the moment he got on
12:28
Speaker 1: the mound. Every single time, every single time, Clayton Kershaw
12:33
Speaker 1: was a frequent flyer during his career. He was in
12:36
Speaker 1: the cockpit of the vomit comet. He was in the
12:39
Speaker 1: cockpit of the vomit cobbat, flying the vomit cobbat, spiraling
12:43
Speaker 1: out of control, with the entire baseball world watching, the
12:48
Speaker 1: entire country watching. And it wasn't just once or twice
12:51
Speaker 1: you were allowed to have one or two bad runs
12:54
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You can eliminate that, right, You can say, well,
12:56
Speaker 1: that was just a one off or a two off.
12:58
Speaker 1: This is the essence of Clayton Kershaw. It is his DNA.
13:02
Speaker 1: His DNA is he chokes in big games. We're talking
13:07
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. I was
13:13
Speaker 1: at the game in twenty twenty three against the Diamondbacks
13:16
Speaker 1: to the flyover and the game was over against Arizona.
13:20
Speaker 1: You can pick a year, any of those years, and
13:25
Speaker 1: there's Clayton Kershaw coughing up a hair ball. If Clayton
13:29
Speaker 1: Kershaw was a dog on the mound, he wouldn't be
13:32
Speaker 1: the bulldog that was ald Hirscheiser. He wouldn't be a
13:34
Speaker 1: pit bull or a German shepherd. He would have been
13:37
Speaker 1: a choking dog, because that's what he did, the kind
13:41
Speaker 1: you don't trust in traffic, allergic to the big game.
13:44
Speaker 1: Run from the moment, from generational legend in October to
13:50
Speaker 1: a liability in October, a generational legend in June and July,
13:53
Speaker 1: and then in October a liability that was his resume.
13:55
Speaker 1: The numbers do not lie. The numbers back up the
13:58
Speaker 1: eye test, the era and the player. I believe it's
14:00
Speaker 1: two runs higher than the regular season. That's not a
14:03
Speaker 1: drop off. That is a kamikaze mission, is what that is.
14:08
Speaker 1: You hand him the ball in October, you're basically lighting
14:12
Speaker 1: the fuse. That's it. So the tinder box and you're
14:16
Speaker 1: lighting the fuse. Now, I am going to give an
14:18
Speaker 1: exemption for twenty seventeen because every one of their mother
14:23
Speaker 1: knows what happened in twenty seventeen was insane. The cheating
14:26
Speaker 1: Astros were banging on trash cans, blowing in whistles. They
14:31
Speaker 1: had buzzers strapped to Altuve in my opinion, But the
14:36
Speaker 1: rest that's all on the shoulders of Clayton Kershaw. The
14:39
Speaker 1: rest of that is all on the shoulders of Clayton Kershaw.
14:42
Speaker 1: If Kershaw was like our caller from Vegas, Big Balls, Bob.
14:47
Speaker 1: You realize what his incompetence cost the Dodgers. If he
14:53
Speaker 1: had a little bit of what Pedro Martinez had or
14:56
Speaker 1: Kurt Schilling or Madison Bumgardner in his DNA as a
15:01
Speaker 1: big game pitcher, So the Los Angeles Dodgers would be on
15:04
Speaker 1: a Yankees like run right now. They would have an
15:08
Speaker 1: ungodly amount of World Series in the last twenty years
15:12
Speaker 1: modern era Yankees, from those old school Yankees back in
15:15
Speaker 1: the day, like Lou Garrick and Babe Ruth, those Yankees.
15:18
Speaker 1: We're talking seven or eight World Series championships the Dodgers
15:22
Speaker 1: would have at this point. But because Clayton Kershaw sucks
15:25
Speaker 1: in big games, they're sitting on two and they didn't
15:28
Speaker 1: really win those two until Kershaw was kind of hanging
15:31
Speaker 1: on at the end of his career. When Kershaw was
15:33
Speaker 1: the man, when he was the guy, they never won.
15:36
Speaker 1: They never won when he was the featured star above
15:40
Speaker 1: the marquee. It was only after they put other people
15:43
Speaker 1: in those roles and Kershaw still hung around that they won.
15:46
Speaker 1: And listen, you can dress it up all you want,
15:50
Speaker 1: the way I look at it Kershaw is he's complicated
15:54
Speaker 1: because he's a Hall of Famer and he's one of
15:57
Speaker 1: the great underachievers. At the same time, when it matted most,
16:01
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw did not deliver. And that's that's the way
16:05
Speaker 1: you have to describe Kershaw. That is the legacy of
16:07
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw. All right. Great during the regular season and
16:10
Speaker 1: then the playoffs, he's the last guy you would want
16:13
Speaker 1: to pitch. He's the last pick. He's the first pick
16:16
Speaker 1: in the regular season, he's the last pick in the postseason.
16:20
Speaker 1: And that's that's an indictment. That's a referendum on Kershaw.
16:24
Speaker 1: All right. And here's Kershaw the announcement from his news
16:27
Speaker 1: conference prior to the Dodger Giant game. How bad of
16:30
Speaker 1: the Giants? The Dodgers walked. I believe they walked ten
16:33
Speaker 1: batters in that game and they still shut out the Giants.
16:35
Speaker 1: Holy crap. Anyway, here is Clayton Kershaw announcing, I am
16:40
Speaker 1: done done. Dun dun dun, dun, dun, dun, dund.
16:44
Speaker 2: I have a lot of thank you to get through
16:46
Speaker 2: and I can't have time today to do a justice
16:49
Speaker 2: for all the people that have helped me along the way.
16:51
Speaker 2: And got me to this point. So today I'm just
16:53
Speaker 2: going to keep it short and sweet and then you know,
16:56
Speaker 2: be able to really tell people just how grateful I
16:58
Speaker 2: am for everybody that's in this organization, that's in this room,
17:01
Speaker 2: that's been here later on. But yeah, I'm gonna I'm
17:04
Speaker 2: gonna call it. I'm gonna retire. We've talked about a lot,
17:07
Speaker 2: and I talked about a lot. Kiddos talked about it
17:09
Speaker 2: a lot, and I'm at peace with it. I think
17:11
Speaker 2: it's I think it's the right time. It's it's been
17:14
Speaker 2: such a fun year. I've had such a blast with
17:16
Speaker 2: this group. I've had such a blast with all you guys.
17:21
Speaker 1: Your time was actually a few years ago. This is
17:23
Speaker 1: past the expiration dates. The bread's getting a little moldy.
17:27
Speaker 1: Here's more from Clayton Kershaw. Now this one's pretty amusing.
17:30
Speaker 1: Here's Kershaw pointing out that he has he has hope
17:33
Speaker 1: for how this is all going to play out.
17:34
Speaker 2: Take as Yeah, I can't think of a better season
17:37
Speaker 2: to go it out, go out, and we still have
17:39
Speaker 2: a lot to accomplish obviously this month, and the last
17:42
Speaker 2: thing I want to do is be a distraction to anybody.
17:44
Speaker 2: For accomplishing our ultimate goal to win in the last
17:47
Speaker 2: game of the season. So we're gonna get through this
17:49
Speaker 2: today and then we're gonna go win the rest of
17:51
Speaker 2: the games and be good.
17:53
Speaker 1: You want to bet you don't win the rest of
17:55
Speaker 1: the games, because I'll I'll take some action on that.
17:58
Speaker 1: I'll be the bookie on that one. I'll take a
18:00
Speaker 1: couple of shekels on that that you don't win the
18:02
Speaker 1: rest of the game. I know he's just saying what
18:05
Speaker 1: you're supposed to say, and I wouldn't want to go
18:08
Speaker 1: out any other way than this and all that stuff.
18:10
Speaker 1: But again, the twenty twenty five Dodgers are one of
18:14
Speaker 1: the great underachieving teams. They have eighty six wins. Eighty
18:17
Speaker 1: six wins, so that is roughly twenty four wins from
18:21
Speaker 1: where they were supposed to be. They're twenty four games
18:24
Speaker 1: under where they should have been. I mean, you cannot
18:27
Speaker 1: make this up, that you are such massive underachievers. It
18:31
Speaker 1: is wild. Anyway, It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If
18:35
Speaker 1: you want to comment on Clayton kersher anything that we said,
18:38
Speaker 1: you can call up and tell me how right I am. Now,

21:48
Speaker 1: all right, we will get back into it as we
21:51
Speaker 1: had the Clayton Kershaw monologue here to start things this
21:56
Speaker 1: hour and interesting feedback right now, let's see page down
22:01
Speaker 1: on that. George wrights In says if sin butts were
22:04
Speaker 1: candy and knots, it would be Christmas every day. Oh,
22:07
Speaker 1: I've heard that line before, George. That's not original. Just
22:10
Speaker 1: like the Yankees used to go buy another championship. Yeah,
22:14
Speaker 1: well you can buy all the players you want, you
22:17
Speaker 1: still have to perform in the moment, and Clinton Kershaw
22:21
Speaker 1: did not. He had tight took his syndrome in the mallment.
22:25
Speaker 1: And listen, I get the LA media is soft. There
22:27
Speaker 1: was only one person in the LA media that ever
22:29
Speaker 1: had balls, and it was a guy named TJ. Simers,
22:32
Speaker 1: and he's dead. Unfortunately. TJ died not that long ago.
22:36
Speaker 1: JJ Writson says, Ben, you crap on the Doyers now.
22:40
Speaker 1: But if they win the World Series, they'll be the
22:43
Speaker 1: greatest team to repeat in the history of baseball. We
22:46
Speaker 1: all know the victory lap you'll take if it happened. No, Jj,
22:50
Speaker 1: that is not true at all. That is not true
22:53
Speaker 1: at all. I just explained to you this team had
22:55
Speaker 1: a roster built to win one hundred and ten games
22:58
Speaker 1: and they have absolutely underachieved. They're sitting at eighty six wins.
23:05
Speaker 1: Eighty six wins right now. There's only a few baseball
23:09
Speaker 1: games to go in the regular season. They have one
23:12
Speaker 1: more weekend at home, then they go on the road
23:14
Speaker 1: for a little bit, and then the playoffs start after that.
23:18
Speaker 1: So what do they win? Maybe ninety three games or
23:20
Speaker 1: something like that. If they start picking up some wins
23:23
Speaker 1: here so there'll be seventeen games, let's say under where
23:26
Speaker 1: they should have been during the regular season, and everything
23:30
Speaker 1: they went out and added has sucked. Tanner Scott is
23:34
Speaker 1: an embarrassment, absolute embarrassment in the bullpen. They added him
23:39
Speaker 1: to be the big belief pitcher there. There's a conga
23:41
Speaker 1: line of other guys that also are stealing money there.
23:44
Speaker 1: And Blake Snell took the three months off. Tyler Glass
23:48
Speaker 1: now missed a bunch of the whole. It's a joke.
23:51
Speaker 1: It's an absolute joke over there. What they've got. Nature
23:55
Speaker 1: Boy says, La is going to disown you from comparing
23:57
Speaker 1: Kershaw to a choking dog. I didn't know what other
24:01
Speaker 1: breed of dog. How about not a dog of koala bear?
24:04
Speaker 1: How about that a koala? He's like a koala in
24:07
Speaker 1: the playoffs. He eats a lot of bark and all that.
24:12
Speaker 1: He's a lot of the eucalyptus. That's what he's into.
24:15
Speaker 1: He likes to study diet of that. Man alive. All right,
24:20
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones and we'll say hello. Let's
24:22
Speaker 1: go to mister k in the leadof chair. Hello, mister
24:25
Speaker 1: k In so cal and the OC. What's up, mister k.
24:30
Speaker 5: What's going on, Ben? How you doing?
24:32
Speaker 1: I am a wonderful Say it's Friday, which I'm happy about.
24:36
Speaker 1: That's a good thing, right, you're supposed to be happy
24:38
Speaker 1: on Friday.
24:38
Speaker 5: I think absolutely. And you know what I have. I
24:41
Speaker 5: have news for nature boy is he's absolutely wrong. You're
24:46
Speaker 5: right on the money right when it comes to this,
24:49
Speaker 5: This team should be the Dodgers that should be sponsored
24:52
Speaker 5: by xan X. So much stress. You know it has
24:56
Speaker 5: been a doctor Jekyl and mister heide Se And I'll
25:01
Speaker 5: tell you what. The starting pitching. I'm not worried about
25:03
Speaker 5: kershar or any of them. They're fine. And the hitters
25:06
Speaker 5: they'll be okay. That bullpen is like a dumpster fire
25:09
Speaker 5: almost on every night, not necessarily tonight. You know, I
25:12
Speaker 5: have a good friend and he he he loved Dave Roberts,
25:17
Speaker 5: and I was I was putting the blame on Dave
25:19
Speaker 5: Roberts the other night. Is like, well, Dave didn't pitch
25:22
Speaker 5: that meat ball. But you know what, Dave doesn't assess
25:25
Speaker 5: the situation and take people out of the game when
25:29
Speaker 5: they're you know, giving that paint.
25:31
Speaker 1: After he does. Mister K though it's by the book,
25:34
Speaker 1: he's he's admitted it like the whole the other night. No,
25:38
Speaker 1: I know, that's what Like, that's the most front. Like
25:40
Speaker 1: you could, mister K could replace Dave Roberts and nothing
25:43
Speaker 1: would change. You just have a different voice to the
25:46
Speaker 1: media because you just follow what he's told. It's all listen.
25:50
Speaker 1: It's a great job. Dave Roberts makes a ton of
25:51
Speaker 1: money and people, some dumb people think he actually is
25:54
Speaker 1: controlling what's going on over there, but he's not. It's
25:57
Speaker 1: there's other people that are involved in it and they're
25:59
Speaker 1: making the disc visions and Dave just you know, he's
26:01
Speaker 1: a la la la la la just but it's so
26:03
Speaker 1: much different, and it's I think part of the problem,
26:05
Speaker 1: mister K is my age. I grew up with baseball,
26:07
Speaker 1: where like the manager actually went by the gut, you know,
26:10
Speaker 1: they decided things on the fly and they'd leave people
26:13
Speaker 1: in it, you know, but they that's not how it
26:15
Speaker 1: is anymore.
26:17
Speaker 5: I know I miss those days, but I do too.
26:20
Speaker 5: Guy radio. We don't to do old guy radio.
26:23
Speaker 1: No, we don't. We do not.
26:24
Speaker 3: We do not.
26:24
Speaker 1: We're not doing old guy radio.
26:26
Speaker 5: We're cool spotters as far as they know. I'm in
26:29
Speaker 5: my twenties, you know that's right, mister.
26:31
Speaker 1: K You are right in the demo you're hit your hips,
26:35
Speaker 1: your hipster mister k are.
26:38
Speaker 5: But before before I go, I need to make sure
26:40
Speaker 5: I gotta say something. I gotta I got a message
26:43
Speaker 5: for Lorena. You know. Uh, she's got a beautiful, lovely voice.
26:48
Speaker 5: You know, I love her to death, great addition to
26:50
Speaker 5: the show. But I'm concerned about her. I love the most.
26:54
Speaker 1: You know what you knew there was a butt, right,
26:56
Speaker 1: What does the butt mean? Lorena? That was all before
26:59
Speaker 1: that was a lot. That's right. Everything you just said,
27:02
Speaker 1: you do not believe. You don't mean anything you just said.
27:05
Speaker 5: I to do. I'm concerned. I'm concerned you're not getting
27:08
Speaker 5: enough to eat during the day.
27:11
Speaker 1: Well what is the day to you? Because I sleep
27:13
Speaker 1: during the day, but overnight I kind of eat.
27:17
Speaker 3: You do.
27:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, That's why my point is half the time when
27:21
Speaker 5: you're talking on the radio, it sounds you get you
27:24
Speaker 5: got food falling out of your mouth.
27:25
Speaker 1: And shots fire.
27:32
Speaker 5: Larina. I truly do love you. I just have pets.
27:35
Speaker 5: I had a sister growing up, and she would always
27:37
Speaker 5: talk with food in their mouth, so drive me crazy.
27:39
Speaker 1: Well you know what that is. Anyway, my wife actually has.
27:42
Speaker 1: It's miss aphonia, I believe is what you have. You're
27:45
Speaker 1: differing from miss aphonia. Yeah, my wife has that, which
27:48
Speaker 1: is really problematic because I'm a big chore. I like
27:51
Speaker 1: to chew my food and my wife gets very upset
27:53
Speaker 1: by that. She gets really annoyed. She has like turn on.
27:55
Speaker 1: We have to have music on in the background while
27:57
Speaker 1: we eat because otherwise she gets upset.
27:58
Speaker 5: So listen, Ben, it's been many, many years. It's been
28:03
Speaker 5: a long time coming. I finally called in. So thanks
28:06
Speaker 5: for thanks well.
28:07
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, mister. We can call again, call anytime.
28:10
Speaker 1: You're a good call. Make sure I never eat again.
28:13
Speaker 1: Thank you. All all right, so sensitive over there, she's listen.
28:20
Speaker 1: He's got a mental illness. Miss a phony is a
28:22
Speaker 1: mental illness. He just he's worried about being you know,
28:25
Speaker 1: I mean issues with his missophonia. Yeah, it's funny. I
28:30
Speaker 1: was having this conversation with Brie, who is working the
28:33
Speaker 1: weekend overnights now, and she was very concerned. You see,
28:36
Speaker 1: you know, working overnights and all that, and you eat
28:39
Speaker 1: and you're worried about you know, what's going to happen,
28:41
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, people work overnights it's hard to you
28:44
Speaker 1: don't get any weight because you're you know, you're you've
28:47
Speaker 1: got good genetics, Lorraine, Yes, thank you, Yeah, no you do.
28:51
Speaker 1: If I I used to eat when I started doing
28:53
Speaker 1: overnights years ago, I used to go with Jason Smith.
28:56
Speaker 1: We did a show together in the early days at
28:57
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Rareo. We'd go to the gas stationmart and
29:01
Speaker 1: load up on candy. We had gummy candy on one side.
29:05
Speaker 1: We had potato chips. On the other. We had Doctor
29:07
Speaker 1: Pepper and I just went for him and I got
29:10
Speaker 1: so frickin' fat. I mean, I was already fat, and
29:12
Speaker 1: I got fat. And then at some point I just said,
29:14
Speaker 1: that's that is it? Well almost, I don't know how
29:19
Speaker 1: to phrase it, giving it away? Is that how you'd
29:21
Speaker 1: say it? In the process of giving it away? The
29:24
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox lost to the Athletics on Thursday, and
29:28
Speaker 1: they ended up losing the three game series to a
29:32
Speaker 1: team going nowhere. They're orphans there, the redheaded step children
29:37
Speaker 1: of Major League Baseball. They're an embarrassment. They don't even
29:39
Speaker 1: they're so embarrassed about playing in Sacramento. They won't say
29:42
Speaker 1: Sacramento or West Sacramento. They just say Athletics. How and
29:45
Speaker 1: the fact that the politicians in Sacrament'm not surprised California
29:49
Speaker 1: the politicians allowed that to happen. I mean, they're so
29:52
Speaker 1: embarrassed by your city that they won't call themselves the
29:56
Speaker 1: city anyway. The Athletics beat the Red Sox in the series,
29:58
Speaker 1: so that means the Cleveland baseball team formerly knows. The
30:02
Speaker 1: Indians are now within a game and a half of
30:05
Speaker 1: Boston in the American League wild card race. The Red
30:09
Speaker 1: Sox are still in position for the final wild card berth,
30:13
Speaker 1: but they're two and a half games behind the Yankees,
30:16
Speaker 1: setting up a situation where the Boston Red Sox could
30:20
Speaker 1: be out of the postseason. And you'd think at that
30:25
Speaker 1: point they'd have to fire Alex Korra if they don't
30:27
Speaker 1: make the play the Red Sox again. Right now, they're
30:30
Speaker 1: still a playoff team. They've lost five of seven and
30:33
Speaker 1: so they had a pretty good edge. They are shot
30:36
Speaker 1: at getting past the Yankees, and now they're in a
30:39
Speaker 1: position they head to Tampa Bay for another matchup with
30:42
Speaker 1: a bad baseball team, and then they played Toronto to
30:46
Speaker 1: finish it out. They played the Tigers, I believe at
30:49
Speaker 1: Finway after that, and there's a team Wow. High choke factor,
30:57
Speaker 1: high choke factor on those Red Sox. Let's go back
31:00
Speaker 1: to the FROMT Danny DeVito is in the boots on
31:02
Speaker 1: the ground in the Boston area. Hello Danny de Vito.
31:05
Speaker 1: Welcome the famous Danny de Vito, America's most famous trash man. Hello, Danny,
31:10
Speaker 1: mister Mela, what's going on? Welcome, Welcome, welcome. How are
31:14
Speaker 1: you doing?
31:15
Speaker 3: Hey?
31:15
Speaker 6: I got some breaking news. You know that strike, that
31:18
Speaker 6: strike is going to come to an end in a
31:20
Speaker 6: couple of hours, hours sold.
31:21
Speaker 1: So I didn't know it was still going it was
31:24
Speaker 1: still going on. What was going on? Who was picking
31:26
Speaker 1: up the trash?
31:28
Speaker 6: I get some scaves out here. They had about one
31:30
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty scams out here doing the work the
31:33
Speaker 6: last couple of months.
31:33
Speaker 1: But it's over.
31:34
Speaker 6: I was told today, that's a good thing. And they
31:38
Speaker 6: gotta have They got a good contract. They they matched
31:42
Speaker 6: out pay and they up the insurance. I was told, so,
31:46
Speaker 6: oh good, nice, Yeah, so it worked out. I want
31:50
Speaker 6: to talk about the the Buffalo bills. Uh, Ben jeansh
31:56
Speaker 6: Allen's great, but that defense.
31:59
Speaker 3: Uh terrible.
32:00
Speaker 6: So this is two out of three weeks now, I
32:03
Speaker 6: see him get run on.
32:05
Speaker 5: They're gonna be in the.
32:05
Speaker 6: Playoffs, but be a fast exit, I believe if that
32:09
Speaker 6: defense doesn't get fixed.
32:11
Speaker 1: Any comment on that, Yeah, yeah, I only they're terrible defensively.
32:16
Speaker 1: I just think they're mediocre. They're not They're not gonna
32:19
Speaker 1: win because of their defense. Their defense, and they're gonna
32:21
Speaker 1: have more injuries. That's the problem. They're not very good
32:23
Speaker 1: right now. And then, as you know, Danny, the war
32:26
Speaker 1: of attrition in the NFL, so they're gonna lose a
32:28
Speaker 1: linebacker here, a defensive back there by the time we
32:31
Speaker 1: get to the end of the year, and so then
32:32
Speaker 1: they're gonna be playing backups. And the guys that are
32:34
Speaker 1: playing right now aren't even doing very well. So it's
32:37
Speaker 1: probably exactly right.
32:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, the running game, they're run defense istic, it's bad.
32:42
Speaker 6: I know, they're missing a couple of guys tonight, Milano
32:45
Speaker 6: and the tackle.
32:47
Speaker 1: Well, that's the point, that's but that's the whole point.
32:50
Speaker 1: You're missing guys, and they're gonna some more plate. People
32:53
Speaker 1: are gonna get hurt. I mean. The good news is
32:55
Speaker 1: they play the Saints next week, so they'll be four
32:57
Speaker 1: to oh and then they go play your Patriots after that.
33:00
Speaker 1: I think that's a primetime game in Week five, and
33:03
Speaker 1: that should be a Buffalo That should be a Bills win.
33:05
Speaker 1: That's in Buffalo.
33:06
Speaker 6: So I think, well, they're gonna they're gonna win games
33:10
Speaker 6: on that guy throwing the ball in that offense.
33:12
Speaker 1: You know.
33:13
Speaker 6: But as like I said, when they've played the better
33:15
Speaker 6: teams and the better defense is in the playoffs, it's
33:17
Speaker 6: gonna be a problem. I think they're not gonna.
33:20
Speaker 1: Be going that. Yeah, I mean they're not. There's really not.
33:22
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna disagree. They're not gonna win because their defense,
33:24
Speaker 1: their defenses, I think it's a middle tier NFL defense
33:28
Speaker 1: where they and the Jets game, the Jets were not
33:31
Speaker 1: prepared to play. Now, you throw that game out and
33:33
Speaker 1: the Jets, if they had competed, the game would have

38:02
Speaker 7: Tyrod Taylor is set to make his first start in
38:03
Speaker 7: six hundred and twenty four days as Justin Field is
38:06
Speaker 7: out for the Jets in Week three. Aaron Glennen says,
38:08
Speaker 7: there's no better player that you would want as your
38:10
Speaker 7: backup quarterback.
38:12
Speaker 1: Yes, no, one better. Ben.
38:13
Speaker 7: Do you think the Jets could actually perform better under Tyrod?
38:16
Speaker 6: No?
38:16
Speaker 1: No, it's a lateral move because if you look at
38:19
Speaker 1: Justin Fields, he's like background noise, and then Tyrod Taylor's
38:23
Speaker 1: elevator music. It's the same thing. Neither one of them
38:26
Speaker 1: is distinguished in any way. They're unglamorous, ordinary quarterbacks and
38:34
Speaker 1: they might play well this week be with the backup,
38:36
Speaker 1: but I long term it doesn't really matter.
38:39
Speaker 7: Next Amazon Prime Video CEO Jay Marine said that recently
38:44
Speaker 7: he is optimistic about streaming a Super Bowl someday. Ben,
38:47
Speaker 7: could you see the biggest sporting event of them all
38:49
Speaker 7: being leaving broadcast?
38:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they will go where the money is
38:55
Speaker 1: and if they can get more money from Eventually, this
38:58
Speaker 1: is gonna take years, and it's it's like the boiling frog.
39:01
Speaker 1: It's slowly. It's moving that way. Anyway. The sports are
39:04
Speaker 1: moving to streaming services. It's pay per view. So the
39:07
Speaker 1: next logical step would be to put the Super Bowl
39:10
Speaker 1: on that event, So on Amazon. Put that event on
39:13
Speaker 1: Amazon next.
39:14
Speaker 7: Travis Hunter had a full workload of forty two offensive
39:16
Speaker 7: snaps and forty three defensive snaps for the Jagson. Week
39:19
Speaker 7: two wasn't a major factor on either side of the ball,
39:21
Speaker 7: but Cohen suggested Liam Cohen that is that even more
39:24
Speaker 7: snaps are in Hunter's future?
39:25
Speaker 1: Is that the right move? Yes, he's average apparently on
39:29
Speaker 1: both sides of the balls. We might as well play him.
39:31
Speaker 1: He's average on both sides, and then maybe he'll make
39:33
Speaker 1: some money and all that. You know, nothing special so far,
39:36
Speaker 1: but why not? He wants to do it. He's young.
39:38
Speaker 1: What the hell? How do we do you passed the edition.
39:41
Speaker 1: I got the guys, I what the
