  Speaker 1: free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: tire installation tire i raq dot com the way tire
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: buying should be. So had a Monday night game and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: got a bunch of baseball games, a couple baseball games.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Made the editorial decision to start with baseball. What are
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you doing that? Just relax?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Got a long road ahead, long winding road through the overnight,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: so we have plenty of time and a blank canvas
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to paint a word mosaic in the darkness here. But
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: we begin with the Baseball Playoffs Divisional Round Game number two,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Game number two in the National League. Now, I'm gonna
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: start with the early game, because that was the better
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, the original capital
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America. Kyle Schwarber, the fighting fails,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: looking to square things up against the Doyers and get
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: some good vibrations going against that shoey O Tani and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers, obviously a tony pitchting game went and pitch
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that great in Game one. Didn't do much of anything
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: with the bat. But the Dodgers, with that massive dream
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: team lineup that didn't play like that. They were chronic
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: underachievers during the regular season, but they did win Game one.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Trying to go up to Oh, I don't know if
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you were watching or not.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe not.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: We watched so you would not have to because possibly
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: we get paid to watch. So that's what we watched.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: But we did watch.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And Blake Snell, Hey, that's my guy, you know it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Me and Blake's and we go back many many years.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Blake Snell, I'm not playing us, I get mine, brow
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that Blake.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Snell, I'm unless I get mine.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, he struck out nine over six, shutout. Hey, listen,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the guy look good. What do you want to say?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: How I think he's a douche? But he looked good.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And one hit ball for the Doyers and then the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: bullpen barely barely held on by the skin on their
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: chinny chin chin the ninth inning rally a four to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: nothing lead. They almost gaged it, but they did not,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: So La gets the win. The Dodgers the good guys,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: four to three. They get to win over the Phillies.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: In Game two of the National League Divisional Series, shoel
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Tani did have a ribby single and that was his
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: first hit in the series. That part of that four
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: run seventh inning. Will Smith, the fresh Prince of bel Air,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: got it done as well, two run single, and the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: reigning World Series champion Dodgers have a two nothing lead.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It is not a best of seven, it is a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: best of five. They are two to zero in Pennsylvania.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: The Phillies are in serious trouble at this particular point.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It's only a best of five.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Dodgers can advance in their seventeenth National League Championship Series
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: with a Game three win back in Los Angeles on
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night in downtown LA and parking will cost you
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars. Good luck, all right, So let us
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: discuss the question better store in the losing locker room?
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So who is to blame? Who is to blame for
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Bryce Harper's Phillies being on the brink of elimination. It
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: was not supposed to be like this for the fight
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in phillis now my thoughts on this. I've got minecraft,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: grand Canyon and Captain's chair, and we will combine all
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: some grilled chicken and rice, which I'm told is healthy,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and not that it's great.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to have food fried, but I'm
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: told that's healthy.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Anyway, my first thought on this is what a humiliation
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: situation for the Philadelphia Phillies to be in this situation.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: The Phillies, the self proclaimed team of destiny, that this
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: was the team that had been hanging around the last
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: couple of years, and they went for it. They went out,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: they pumped up the tires on the bullpen, and they
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: were ready, ready for the Dodgers, and this roster, all
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: those big bats, a powder keg of passion the phil
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and we do like the way the Phillies play. They're
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a fun team to watch. They've got an edge to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: their game, and they like to claim their blue collar
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: heroes in South Philadelphia. Of course they're all tremendously overpaid,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: spoiled athletes, but they pretend they do cosplay like their
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: blue collar heroes. And they're circling the drain right now.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And the problem for the Phillies, I call it an
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I ninety five problem for the Philadelphia Phillies. And now
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: what does that mean? The arrow is pointing towards the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: headliners for the Philadelphia Phillies. It's like Minecraft dungeons, a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: starless night, or in this case, a couple of starless
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: nights for the Philadelphia Phillies. You do the cross check
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: la cross examination on the Phillies. You got Bryce Harper
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: over here, Trey Turner and Kyle Schwarber, the big three
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: right there, and they are hitting I ninety five. Actually
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: not E hitting I ninety five. They're hitting ninety five.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: They're in the first two games, they've had twenty one
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: at bats. They're two for twenty one. Now, I didn't
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: play professional baseball, but that sucks. Two for twenty one,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: eleven strikeouts from those three the top bats in the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Phillies lineup eleven strikeouts and twenty one at bats one
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: run bat at in that Trey Turner, a former Dodger,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in the National League Divisional Series. So they were promoted.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: The billing was fire crackers. The Phillies bring the fire crackers,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and instead they're wet matches. That's what they brought. They've
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: brought wet matches here. And it's been the same movie
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: for the Phillies in this this run. They've had good
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: regular season teams and it's not over. We'll explain why.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: It's clever. Yeah, but this is looking particularly good at
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: this point, same cast, and it looks like we're heading
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: towards the same ending, barring a dramatic rewrite in the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: writer's room. Here, the Phillies, who live on those good vibrations, right,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a very loud, high volume crank it to eleven. The
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: fans are insane. Citizens Bank Park.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I've been there.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: It's a beautiful ballpark, great environment for baseball. The greatest
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: mascot in sport, the Philly fanatic running his fat ass
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: around there having fun. And that is supposed to be
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Citizens Bank Park, a cathedral of intimidation, a house of
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: horrors for the opposing team to go into Philadelphia with
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: all the lunatic, trunk Neanderthal fans and that ballpark. And
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: yet you stop and you look around. The Philadelphia Phillies
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: there have lost I believe the numbers five of their
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: last six postseason games at home at what happened to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Red October? Where did that go that? Where's that mystique
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: of the Philadelphia Phillies. Well, I guess the question is
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: does the idea of home field advantage mean something anymore?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Now? In baseball?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: There's something there that you only get in football, where
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you have a dramatic competitive advantage. You are if you're
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the home team, you are able to close the game
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: out at home. You have the advantage because the road
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: team bats first, you bat second, and so there's a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: little more of an advantage knowing what you need to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: do in the late innings. I would argue the road
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: team has more of an advantage early in the game.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And if you can score early and play with the lead,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you put the pressure the pendulum of pressure swings back
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to the home team. But there's a legitimate advantage there.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: The ballparks are a little different in baseball, not as
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: much as they used to be, but it's a little different.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: The only other thing in football you have warm weather
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: dome team cold weather, But the NFL is trying to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: deball all the cold weather teams and eventually they'll only
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: be like a three cold weather outdoor stadium because Chicago's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: going to get most likely eventually was talk they're going
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to get a dome. I've seen different drawings of the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: stadium they're going to build at the racetrack in suburban Chicago.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Cleveland wants a dome. You do have Buffalo, who's building
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a new stadium will be outdoors in Green Bed.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: There'll be a few outdoor teams.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: But for the most part, talking me domes or warm
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: weather teams, and so that was always an advantage.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: But when you look at the just the we're not
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: back in my damn the old guy story.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: So when I was a kid, but I've always heard
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: these stories about players being rattled.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Like in Philadelphia, you go there and you be rattled by.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: A bunch of old dudes wearing Randall Cunningham jerseys and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you know, chucking hot dogs on the field and all
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: that stuff. But like the whole Philly fan thing where
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: they will eat you alive, they will eat you alive
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, that's just a myth. It's just a myth,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and you can't weaponize it anymore. I remember when I
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: was watching the great Dick Stockton on Sibis and Pat
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: O'Brien who worked here at Fox Sports Radio and the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Progressive at the half there at CBS above the Boston Garden,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and I remember watching this as a kid when the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Lakers and Celtics played, and I was young, and they
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: used to talk about all the wonderful things that Red Arbach,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: this old executive of the Celtics, would do with the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: old Boston Garden my home court advantage there, from shutting
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: off the hot water to turning up the heat in
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the summer and to make it colder in the winter,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: getting brown sludge, that brown tapwater sludge in the showers,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: like all that stuff just to kind of mess with
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the other team, Right, and so that doesn't happen. You
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: don't do that anymore. Right, the visiting players show up,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: they get a police escort, to wherever they're playing, and yeah,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: they play in front of forty thousand drunks if they're
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: playing a baseball game or whatever. But then they go
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: back to the Ritz Carlton, and they're never really worried
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: about anything. Right, they have all the creature comforts, that's
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: what they have.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Everything. It's not hostile, it's not. And so we're living
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: in this era where you've got.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: The charted flights, the these major League baseball clubhouses, all right,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and this is one of things. When I started, they
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: still had crap house visiting clubhouses in baseball, Like they
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: were really crappy, every clubhouse in Major League Baseball because
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the union, the players Union, just complained it's like walking
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: into the presidential suite. It's a penthouse. It's not a clubhouse.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: It's a penthouse, and everyone's pampered. You're really struggling on
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the road when you're soaking in eucalyptus steam rooms, you know.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: It's really difficult. It's so bad.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: So again, and when your own stars stop producing, there's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: really no external excuse. And these were at home games
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: usually not road games. Bryce Harper, you don't love the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: body language, big body language guy from Bryce Harper, trade Turner,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: how's he's seen ohas or something like that.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: And Kyle Swarber, it does appear he's trying to hit
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a ten run home run every time.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: He comes up.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I don't think as possible. Boy, that would be cool
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: for the Phillies. If he hit a ten run home run,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that would be pretty pretty neat. But the team, it's
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a gritty team, the Phillies. You know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: they're all a bunch of multi millionaires, but they're a
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: gritty team, lunch pill outfit. And right now they are
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the seat fillers at their own concert. There. They're they're
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: done with the regular season, the playoffs. Now, they didn't
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: get to this point because they had the the buy
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and all that. And they're dancing. You know, it's dancing
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: on my own crying alone. That's the vibe there. Now,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: all that said, the Phillies are not dead.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: They are now. Listen.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I want the Dodgers, the one you know that some
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: of you think I don't, but I do. I'm not
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: a Dodger hate or anything like that. I'm just a
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: realist and you're all a bunch of fanboys. But here's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the point, the Phillies are not dead yet.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Teams, if you look at the numbers, teams that have
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: taken a two nothing lead in the best of five
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: postseason have won eighty of ninety times. That works out
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to eighty eight point eight percent. Eighty eight point in
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: on your FM do sounds like a college radio station
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and fifty four sweeps, So.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: That tells you what has happened, not what's going to happen.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: And if the Phillies can steal the game on Wednesday,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: win that game, they flip the script. Now all of
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a sudden, the pressure start shifting to the Dodgers not
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to f this thing up and have to go back
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to a Game five in Philadelphia, even though they won
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: two there, to have to win with that ragtag bullpen
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to go back to the Delaware Valley.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: So it's really just a one game thing.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: The Phillies win, and then all of a sudden things
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: change around quite a bit, and it's like the Phillies
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: found their pulse, and you don't want them to find
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: their pulse because you know what that means there and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: now it is a faint pulse. Even if they win,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: it's a faint pulse. And all that stuff, But this
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: is all about execution. That's always about execution. And the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Stars haven't been better in the moment. And it's not
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: like Otani, he was not good in Game one on
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the mound or at the plate, and you know better
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: here although not great. And the Philly Stars, though, they're
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the ones that have failed to shine the brightest now
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: turning the patriot. As far as the Dodgers are concerned,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the question here is, and I was getting peppered with.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I don't go on social media much, but people in
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: my real world, you know, not the fake people in
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: social media, but the real people were.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Like, oh, you were wrong about the Dodger bullpen.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: They're up for nothing. I was getting I looked at
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: my phone. I was like, oh boy, you're an idiot.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Suddenly those people stop sending me text messages. When the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Dodgers bullpen came in, there the parade of the losers,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the parade of terribles.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: There, but the Dodgers didn't win.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So have the Dave Roberts Dodgers now two and ohero
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in the NLDS? Have they solved their bullpain blues at Schufvezravine.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: So I am shaking my head.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: No, if you're watching on the YouTube feed there and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: if not, you can watch it later Ben Mahler Show
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: at Ben Maler Show on YouTube.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I'm going to that is.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: What's called a WT situation. Wishful thinking is what that is.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers are exactly who we thought they were. And
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: if you want to crown them, crown their ass right.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: They've got a bunch of star power, but there's a
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: soft underbelly. They're Superman with kryptonite. We know what the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: kryptonite is. You poke him in the.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Gut and it jiggles. Jack Jackal Jagal. That's a bullpin.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts and boy, you talk about Roberts came this
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: close to being kicked out of LA if they had
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: blown that gid. Dave Roberts got cute right now the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: front office. These guys are the smartest people in the room,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: playing with matches and gasoline. That's the Dodgers right there.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Roberts try to get cute. I'm gonna bring in Blake Trining,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Blake Who's head.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Die die diarrhea? For how many months?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring in Blake Trining like he's gonna be
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: my secret weapon. Like it's two years ago and I'm
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: only bring Blake Trining in there, and instead he was diffuse.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: That sparked the Phillies comeback. And the only reason Roberts
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: isn't being tarred and feathered right now is because the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Dodgers held on and won and he gets a mulligan
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: because that's how it works, and the box score says
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: at W and so the fact that it was systemic
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: incompetence by again, Roberts is just the middle manager. We
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: know he's not really doing anything that the front office
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: doesn't want. But deep down, the Dodger fan, the real
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Dodger fan, they know the truth. Right that bullpen they
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: are the flying will lend us that's a data reference,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: but go with it all right. Every night they are
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: wobbling on a tight rope over the Grand Canyon, just waiting,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: waiting to slip on that wire. And there's no net, right,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: there's no net, And you can feel it coming right now. Listen,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: there's a great shape against the Phillies.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: For now.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: You hear the music and you see the balancing pole
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: kind of shaking a little bit.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: The ween gusts up there. Those middle relievers come in
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the era explodes. So I don't think anything's been sold
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: because my position was the they're pitching starting pitchers in
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the bullpen and they're avoiding the actual bullpen.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: It's that bad.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: They actually agree with that. The Dodgers agree with me.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: They say, you know what, Mallory, you're right. Our relievers blow.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: It's the starters we got to bring in. And yet
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: even in this game they got cute. And so the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Dodger bullpen has an underlying condition, all right, they do.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It's a nightly death defying stunt. Hide the women, hide
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the children. Dave Roberts is the guy who's he didn't
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: have a safety net and the only safety news to
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: bringing these starters. And then even he didn't, he didn't
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: bring Sazaki in and he messed around with that. All right, now, quickly,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: last thing, we go to Milwaukee, the other half of
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the bracket in the National League, where if you turn
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: on the game very early, the Cubs had an early lead.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: They're up three to nothing over the Brewers, and then
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: they had to play the rest of the game. Andrew
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Vaughan and Jackson Turio each shiit three run home runs,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and William Contreras also a solo shot. The Brewers not
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: known for their home run power, but they on this
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: day they did get it done.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: There.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: They come back down three to nothing, the brew Crew
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: get a seventy three win, and now they are one
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: win away.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: From a rematch.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: This was a rematch in the NLCS about seven eight
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: years ago, Dodgers and the Brewers, and the series now
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: shifting to Wrigley Field for Game number three. That'll be
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday as well. The better story in the loser's
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: locker room. So who gets to eat the blame cheese kurds?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Because you're in Wisconsin for the Cubs who lost to
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the Brewers. So this one's easy. It's Imanaga showed it
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: to him. Naga, the starting pitcher here for the Cubs,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the ace, who I believe watching this game and I
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: was slipping back and forth from the Monday night game
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: in this game, but watching him, he melted faster than
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: some fresh cheddar in an air fire on a hot pretzel.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Just melted, just absolutely melted. You jumped back to a
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: three to nothing lead, and Suzuki hit a rocket early
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: on for the Cubs. You got, you know, feeling pretty
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: good right there. You're thinking, great, crowd's kind of buzzing
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: back home. There's a lot of cub fans in Milwaukee
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: because it's not that far away from Chicago. And everyone's excited.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I know our guy's tree, Eugene, you Foemi. They're all
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: fired up there and this you got your so called stopper.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: You got your number one picture on the mound there
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and it was like a kid's birthday party pinata.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: You get a hit, you get to hit.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Imanaga was in the captain's chair and he was writing
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the Vomit Comet. He wrote the Vomit Comet and the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: just completely helpless. The Brewers played Yatzi with Immenaga in
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: this game.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: And so there you go. So here we are.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: It's October baseball. You need your ace, generally speaking, you
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: need your ace to go more than a couple of innings.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Eat some innings, be like Joey Chestnut and scarf down
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: all the hot dogs, the glizzy gobbler and no instead.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Imanaga was nibbling, he was sweating. He was pressing forty
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: six pitches. You get a free nothing lead. Your ace
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: goes forty six pitches. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: and bye bye. See you later there. So another team
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the Cubs says, somebody you said, hey, the Cubs are
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: just built different and all that. I don't see it.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: That appears to be false advertising for the Cubs at
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: this point here. It does look more like they're built
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: for day games in May against the Pirates and not
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: primetime in October. There and we'll talk more. I'm sure
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: if the Cubs do lose this on Wednesday about Craig Council,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: and people will be celebrating the demise of Craig Council
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: as a Wisconsin guy. And he took the money and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: went down to Chicago to coach the Cubs and his team.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: The Cubs are getting pantsed right now by his old team.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: So the Brewers look very relaxed. Why wouldn't. You're up
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to nothing in the series. The Cubs look a little constipated.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: There's some pill you can take.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: There's a pill.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: There's also a drink that you can take to get
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: rid of that here. But Council he left for the money,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: so it's not like if it is really worried he
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: was with State of Milwaukee. He left because he got
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a bag from Chicago, became the highest paid management in baseball,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and that's the same thing you would have done. I
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: would have done, we all would have done. Not worried
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: about winning. He's in I can win in Chicago, he's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He's like, yeah, find the Brewers can win.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: But I'm still getting paid and I can you get
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: that money in Milwaukee. It is The Ben Malor Show.

  Speaker 2: Wow, And there you go.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Shane into Moin writs and says, if you had ten
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars of funny money to put on Seattle versus Detroit.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: In Detroit, where would your money go back in your pocket?
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: If you gave me ten thousand dollars, I would immediately
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: invest that money and not I would not bet that money.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I would invest that money, maybe going to a nice
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: vacation or something like that.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: The matchup tonight You've got Logan Gilbert and Jack Flaherty
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: actually do like the Mariners just in that just based
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: on that matchup, you like the marinor the Mariners are
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: favored in that game, and they are getting most of
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the money. So the sharps are on the Mariners, whatever
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: that's worth. And the public also in favor, although it's
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: much more. The money's much bigger than the numbers we
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: have in favor of the Mariners in that game. That
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: is the early game, right, that's the early answer, four
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: o'clock eastern, one o'clock Pacific game. I believe that's accurate.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert versus Jack Flaherty. And then you've got the
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: late game, which is at eight o'clock at Yankee Stadium,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: and is this a funeral for the Yankees with Shane
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Bieber versus Carlos Rodon. The left handed Yankees are favorite
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: in that game, and they are getting most of the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the moulah in favor of them. Who else do we
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Let's see page nin we'll skip over that. Let's see
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: here we've got mister Lucianos's nine point nine out of
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: ten on the Mallard monologue.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: He hate to admit it, but the Dodgers have a
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: great chance to win it all. Best of luck.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Mister Luciano, he says, fer dog says creepy love affair
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: with David Vesse aside the Blake Snell that Blake Stell
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: can sure pitch fun fact about Snell. He once said
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: he prefers grilled cheese sandwiches over tacos because they're not
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: as messy. Yeah, doesn't it look like Blake Snell hasn't
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: slept since like twenty fourteen or something, like he's got
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: like large you know those things when you get the bubbles.
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: Of huge bags.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Like I is that just.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's just genetics that like everyone I don't know
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: his family tree, maybe everyone in his family's like that.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: They actually want to google this. I don't know what causes. Yeah,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna look.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: At this because it's not very I mean, you know,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: not that I'm checking out Blake Snell, but it's just
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: very it's hard not to notice, like he's got giant
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: bubbles and bags underneath his eyes.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: And once okay, so it says puffiness under the eyes
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: can be caused by factors like aging, obviously, eye infections,
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: thyroid disast you might have a thyro dress eyes strain,
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: and allergies. Oh, even hormonal changes.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Really, so maybe he's got a thyroid issue. You can
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: take some pills for that.
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: And feel like me personally if that ever happened to me,
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: I would stick needles in the bags and pull out
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: all the.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Extra excess because that's where you live in Los Angeles.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: So it's what people in LA do. They just yoke.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: They just a little hole. Yes, exactly, that's an LA
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: do well.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: But I guess it's probably everywhere these days people are
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: doing that kind of stuff. King Roy writes in from Wisconsin,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: says as a Brewers fan, it feels great beating up
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the Cubs, but it will mean nothing if they don't
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: win the World Series. The obnoxious Cub fans, King Roy says,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: we'll bring up twenty sixteen. If the Brewers fizzle out
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs in twenty twenty five, season will only
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: be remembered for free Burgers.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Freddie writes and says, as a Dodger fan, I will
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: admit that Bullpen does need a lot of work. I
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: was worry there in the final two innings, but was
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: a happy bro. I'm risking my life, had a great game.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Spocks weed on the Oregons trails very excited. He says, awesome,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the vomit comet has been observed over the friendly skies
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: there of Milwaukee, along with the super moon. Now Derek,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the Bill's Monster, the Hacker in Buffalo writes, and he says, Hey, Mallard,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: great monologue, Pure radio gold. There's always quick question though,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: when's the NHL Preview Hour? And what days the Big
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: College basketball breakdown show? Got to plan my life accordingly? Yeah,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: or you just keep listening. In any moment we could
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: break out into hockey, and any moment, I don't want
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to invade in my former colleague Eddie Garcia, who does
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: like seven hockey podcasts.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's his domain. I don't want to interrupt
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: his domain. My lips on it. Yeah, so he's literally
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: he loves hockey so much.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Put my stick right in your mouth. You know, some
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: people use like a jolly Roger, or he use a
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: candy like a mint. He sucks on a hockey puck.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: It's Eddie, and a lot of people don't know that
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: about Addie, but he he loves hockey so much. He
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: has a little hockey puck and that is his candy,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: and he loves the taste of it.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know why college basketball. I
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: just checked my notes.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Derek the Bill's Monster, part of Bill's Mafia, So I
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: checked my notes, and college basketball season starts. Yes, Election
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Sunday is in early March, so we got some time.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: We got a little bit of time before college basketball. Yeah, super,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Marcus Steeve says, I haven't heard you apologize to Mookie
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Betcher Blake still.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: And I'm proud of you for not at the moment
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: you were right.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I would argue that you're just as responsible for their
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: success as that second half in the second half of
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the season as Vassa was for kissing their ass when
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: they suck. Well, you're right, there is no need to apologize.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And that lunatic bus driver Roberto.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: You apologize to Mookie? Yeah, what a dope? All right?
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Come on, As I have pointed out, we have a
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: daily talk show to do. We have a talk show
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: every night. We have to do a talk show and
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: we give opinions in real time. And even if I
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: don't win the World Series, it does not change the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: fact that I was right that Blake Snell. I mean,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: it's embarrassing these they sell regular season season ticket packages,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: and most of these guys, in terms of the starting pitching,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: they don't show up for three or four months during
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: the regular season. Mookie Betts was there and didn't show
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: up for three or four months of the regularzation. So
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I have a daily touch show. I don't wait until
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the end. So if I what am I supposed to
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: not comment on the malfeasons of the Dodgers during the
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: regular season, that they underachieved by twelve games from where
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: they were supposed to be the win projection in Vegas
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: to what they actually won during the regular season.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Ben, Yeah, no, bad news, my fat ass.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Eloy from Compton says, good call, Big Ben not
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: starting the show with some or starting the show rather
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: with some baseball talk. No one wants to hear about
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: my pathetic ass. Kansas the Chiefs crapping their pants. Well,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that. That was outstanding and that's good,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: good gift of what they did there. Yeah, that was
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: that was pretty solid there. Yeah, let's see what else
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: do we have. Let's see page down. I can't read that.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Gil in San Diego says, I am so sick of Lebron.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Now we have to listen to his narcissistic second decision.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for him to be gone. Kobe came
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: to the Lakers on Draft Night, played twenty seasons, gave
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: us five titles. He and Magic are the most beloved
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Lakers ever. Lebron isn't even close.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah not. Somebody's email me, You're gonna do a monologue
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: about Lebron's decision. No, I'm not. I don't care.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: He'll he's gonna whether he announces he's retiring. I wouldn't
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: be shocked if Lebron's like, I'm endorsing some new product
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: or something like that.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked if that's it. Knowing Lebron like
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: there was some partnership with somebody.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Is gonna be some announcement coming down on Tuesday from Lebron,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: and it'll likely happen while I'm sleeping. I'll wake up,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I'll react to it, and we'll go on with my life.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to stop my life, and I don't
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: know anyone else is either. It'd be great if he
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: just retired, don't do a retirement toward just say you
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: know what. I went to training camp, and I just
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: the idea of playing with DeAndre Ayton. It makes me
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: want to puke in my mouth and I don't.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Want to play.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I'm out, I'm done. I just want to pass the
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: baton to Luca and that's it. And Gil, you'd be
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: okay with that in San Diego. And so I all right,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: it's go to the phones. A slo to the sports genius.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Who's in LA?
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: What's up? Sports genius? Welcome?
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: Well, well here we are again big bands. Like I
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: always say, fake ball is a matter of look mixed
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: with a little bit of skill, mix with a little
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: bit of mojo. And we don't know if Dave Roberts
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: has the mojo, but he's surrounded by a lot of
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: high end players with a high payroll. Bail them out
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: all the time on that freaking dugout because our bullpen
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: is sketchy to say the least. But ken Dave Roberts
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: manage that sketchy bullpen. That's the question every Dodger fan
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: I know has. They're like, fourth genius, what do you think?
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: And I said, I think I need to call Bill
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: Mallard and.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Talk this over with him, because he knows more about baseball.
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: Than all of Los Angeles.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: That's right, man, that's right exactly. Well, here's what the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Dodgers do. It's a great stretchy. If you have a
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: five run lead or four run lead, they're fine. If
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: it's a one run lead and they've got to go
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: through multiple relief pitchers, they're cooked.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I agree, that's the way I look at I don't
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: think there's any of us.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: And I like the fact that the Dodgers are giving
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: me take validation by bringing in all these starting pitchers
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: and the relief pitchers are not using and they look
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: they use relief pitchers in this game. Well, Blake Trining
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: came in there and puked all over the mound. But
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: they brought in starting pitching and that's what. But that's
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the way to go because those guys at least don't
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: have a track record of failure abject failures like the
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: relief pitchers for the Dodge.
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: Well, what do you think about Rokis Sasaki and Yamamoto?
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: I mean those guys, I like both of them.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: I also like Showhey, but I don't know if they're
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: gonna if they're gonna rotate him more on the mound
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: or they're gonna use his bat more than anything.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, Yo Yamamoto's great. He's been wonderful. I don't
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: know what you want me to say. He's been great.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: He should be wonderful on Wednesday. But the problem is,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: you know, Aaron Nola's pitching for the Phillies. He's pretty good,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be you'd think, a close game and
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: then you're gonna get into the seventh eighth inning, you're
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: gonna have to go to your bullpen. So are you
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: gonna go to relief pitchers? You're gonna bring in starting pitching.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I would bring in starting pitching. I would just run
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: through all my other leftover starting pitchers. I think that's
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: what they're playing anyway, that's what they're gonna do because
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: everyone knows the bullpen, the actual real relief pitchers are
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: incompetent and they can't get it done.
• 35:55
  Speaker 9: So anyway, well, I said, it's so really good to
• 35:58
  Speaker 9: go to Philly and we have those cheese steaks down
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: their throats with those freaking weird old fans over there
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: and all their little fanatics or whatever they got, and
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: they think they're intimidating to the Dodgers. Are they had
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: other freaking minds? Have they seen our Dodgers. We got
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: Mookie Bets, we got Freddie Freeman.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: We've had I mean, so we got shoe Hail Tamie.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Are they another freaking Philadelphia cheese steak eating mines?
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: We're not gonna intimidate the Blue Crew.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Well, they clearly did not. All right, I gotta go.
• 36:25
