• 2:50
  Speaker 1: They say, come in Ben talk Talk Talk, Talk Talk.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: So I come in here and I talk talk talk
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: every night. Some nights are more then others. Yeah, four
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: baseball games. They made a big deal about this being
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the last time there were four baseball games in twenty
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: twenty five. You have to wait to the Cactus and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Grapefruit League in twenty twenty six for that. But I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: lead this hour from Los Angeles and from the desert
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to the sea to all of southern California. We start
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: there a knight in the NLDS. It was gonna be
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a knockout night if the Dodgers could win the late game.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: The Phillies in town, beaten and broken, mocked by their
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: fan base after an embarrassing couple of games in Philly,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and the Phillies looking to the only time we use
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: this term is in sports stave off, stave off elimination
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: against the Doyers. So out of if you're watching it,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I was on TBS, so whatever that's worth. Maybe you
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: watched it. Maybe not, but Kyle Schwarber, Kyle Schwarber, who's
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: not gonna win the National League MVP, but he'll finish
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: runner up. Kyle Schwarber Homert not once, but twice. Now,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: not all home runs are the same. You know, you
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: have like Yankee stadiums, like Williams Sports, like a little
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: league field, and then there's bigger ballparks, and then you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Dodger State has become a hitter's park. He used to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: be a pitcher's park. Now it's a hitters park. But nothing,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: nothing can match the majestic nature of a towering shot
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that actually it upset Tommy Lasorda because it hit Blue Heaven.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: The ball was hit so high it actually skimmed Blue
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Heaven and Losorda yelled down, what are you doing? Towering shot?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It cleared the right field pavilion at Dodger Stadium, called
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the bleachers for most other people, but the pavilion out
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: there at Dodger Stadium. In a three run fourth inning,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a game changing three run fourth inning, as Kyle Swarber
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: got it done and Philadelphia will not be swept, a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: domination situation, a win over the Doyers in game three
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of the National League Divisional Series on Wednesday night. There
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it was the first schwarp bomb of this postseason, and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: it led all of the National League in home runs.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Of course, in the American League had cal Raley, but anyway, nonetheless,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber, big home run there, big home run night,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and the first time run the Dodgers have allowed here
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: in these playoffs to shorebur of course, and it's been
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: pretty good about keeping the ball in the park. But
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Schwarber snapping an over eight skid in the National League
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Divisional Series, and he took a ninety six mile hour
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: fastball and sent it to the heavens off Yoshinobu Yamamoto
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and Schwarber becoming just the second player to home or
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: over that pavilion at Dodgers Stadium as Pops got it
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: done back in the old days Willie Stargel nineteen sixty
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: nine and did it again in nineteen seventy three for
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the pet sparkpipes. You know, it was a long time
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: ago because it was the Pirates who had a good team,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and they haven't had a good team in a very
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: long time. But so there you go. Paul went out
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of the ballpark which is very hard to do. Dodger Stadium.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Game four will be a quick turnaround in the best
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: of five series. And we played later on Thursday, late
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: afternoon on the West coast, six o'clock on the East coast,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: three o'clock at Dodgers Stadium local time. And the game
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: started here Phillies Aaron Nola. He pitched two innings. That's it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: But it was really Ranger Suarez who came in and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the lone ranger on the mate. I had one run,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: five hits over five innings and got it done. But
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: so that is where we will go. The better story
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: always in the losing locker room because that's where the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: drama is. And we live for the drama. It's all
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: about the drama o rama. So we'll start there. The
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: question for the esteem panel, who gets the largest part
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of the Dave Roberts blame Bacon rapped hot Dog. And
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: if you've ever been to a game in La, it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter whether it's Dodgers or anything. Outside there's people
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: with carts and they are happing the cart. Hot Dog,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: hot Dog, hot Dog. That is what they that's the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: sign right there. All right, So on this one, I've
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: got Buka to Beppo Autumn and puffy sticker, and we'll
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: throw all of these things together and we are going
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to make some heartburn medication, because watching the Dodgers off
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and inspires heartburn. So a, why don't we just start
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: with the man on the mound. The man on the mound.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: You're the big Baffo Soco, big stud on the mound.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: You are the number one pitcher for the Dodgers, Yamamoto.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And this is not a kid's birthday party. You did
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: not need to turn out to be a pinata in
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that inning the Dodgers. He got an early lead as
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Tommy Tanks went deep there went and runs nothing. But
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: you still have a lead. And every inning that goes
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: by where the Phillies do not score, the tight took
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: his syndrome works for those guys get a little bit tighter,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: litle bit tighter, and a little bit tighter. So he
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: needed Yamamoto to go Einstein Brothers serve up a bunch
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of bagels on the scoreboard. Now, he did start out
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: pretty good, retired nine of the first ten hitters. Then
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: in the fourth inning right then in the fourth inning.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: How did that go? Not good? He wandered into a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Buca di beppo kitchen. I didn't know they had this
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: at Dodger State. Apparently do they got everything else there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: So they have a Buka di beppo kitchen. And Yamamoto
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: walked in there and he put on some cooking clothes.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: You know, you had the cooking hat, the whole thing.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: And he actually served up a meatball. And I want
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to imbellish it because you know talk Rado can embellish it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It was the size and I'm not going to go bigger.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: It was the size of Jupiter. And Schwarbert put on
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a bib and very odd to see this. You don't
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: know what this is. But kaswarb one of the BattleBox
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: he had a bib on and he smashed it to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the moon, to the moon, and suddenly the entire vibe
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: flipped on the game. The ball actually landed. We checked
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: with NASA. It landed somewhere in Pasadena. The baseball landed
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: somewhere in Pasadena. And so it wasn't just Yamamoto the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Dodger bats mister seven hundred million dollar man show. Heyl
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Tani had as many hits as you and I had
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Oero for five. He's patting a buck seventy four, a
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: buck seventy four in this playoffs it is Freddie Freeman,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Oh for three, Freddy's batt in two twenty two and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it's a quarter of the side of the Devil. And
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: those are a couple of your superstars, the Philly you
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: give credit where credits You mentioned Rangers four as the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: lone Ranger who came in after Aaron Nola's started, pitched
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: a couple innings and shut the Dodger lineup down, mowed
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: them down like child's play. And it's always fun when
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers do not play one of the plus because
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: this era, you see Dave Roberts over there with that
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: we'll figure it out later a look on his face, right,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Robert's always standing there like waiting for a door dash
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: delivery from Emmy FAMMI rather from Femmy to give him
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the door dash. No urgency right vintage. Now, as for
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the Phillies, I would like to nip something in the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: bud right now. I'm partaking in some of the some
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of the narrative coming out of Dodgers Stadium and a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: lot of the bloviating cheese steak loving pretzel eating Philadelphia
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: sportsmans are like, Wow, the Phillies have all the momentum.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Now they've got all the momentum. The only momentum I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: know is Uncle Mo, and he lives over in Jersey.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I used to know this guy named Ozzie momentum, but
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: he kind of retired from the show, so I don't
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: know any other momentum in that momentum does not exist
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: in sports. I will die on that mountain because I'm
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: right and everyone else is an idiot. Momentum is simply
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: an after the fact explanation. If you believe in momentum,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: then the Dodgers should have won this game. They had
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: all the momentum. They won the first two games. They
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: had nothing leading this game. You'm a motor retired nine
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of the first ten batters. There is no such thing
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: as momentum. It is merely an explanation for after the fact,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: meaning it is ignored when the team that is alleged
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to have all the momentum loses. For example, we'll get
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to the American League later on next hour. But the Yankees,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I was told by Dark Jeter on Fox the Yankees
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: had all the momentum in that series because they won.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: They scored a bunch of runs late in the blowout
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Game two, and then they came back in one game three,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and so how'd that work out? It doesn't, It doesn't exist,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: all right. Now, now we get to the good stuff.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Now here's a batting practice fastball. As a longtime radio
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: professional text me from another location, Mallard. He says, your
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: night is made, and I said, you know what, You're right.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: We had the rare and appropriate sighting of playoff Kershaw.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I am still getting messages from you idiots about a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: monologue I did when the Dodgers did a mock state funeral,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: when kurshed up it's just final hope game, and I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: pointed out what a failure Kershaw has been as a Dodger.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I was still got a name of it this week.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I got an email the other day, a couple days
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: ago from So, I heard your monologue. You know it
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: always says I used to like your show, but which
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: means you never liked my show. Right, you never liked
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: my show? But whatever? Fine. So Kershaw was brought in.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: He was tasked with the Dodgers were trailing. He was
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: tasked with keeping La within arm's length, to keep them
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in the game down three to one, give them an opportunity,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: allow them a chance to come back in the game.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Against the Phillies, bullpen set up the choke factor. How
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: do you set the choke factor up? You're within striking
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: distance and that's what you gotta do. Okay, So that
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: was what he was asked to do, Kershaw. So you
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: know what I like, charity. I'm going to be charitable.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: And you get a hit, You get a hit, you
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: get a home run, you get a home run, you
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. The Philly hitters I actually saw on
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the Turner broadcast. Their eyeballs looked like saucers. It was
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: like saucers, very accommodating Clayton Kershaw. In fact, six of
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the phillies twelve hits, half of the hits for the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: entire gate came against playoff Kershaw, Are you idiots defending
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: this guy? He got absolutely shelled. Your little hero got shelled,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: you little god, your little Demi god got shelled. J. T.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Riamuto and Kyle Swarber hit bombs. Just classic, just classic. Anyway,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: here is Clayton Kershaw pointing out that he was bad.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Take a listen.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Oh it's just a tough yeah, tough couple of the
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: seventh good played by Tayo. And then yeah, I just
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: did make enough good pictures. I was battling command. You know,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: it's it's hard when you're trying to throw strikes as
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: opposed to get people out.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: So that was.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just wasn't funny, Okay, just not a funny thing.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: All right, here's the question, how did you react to
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw wetting the bed? He wetted the bed yet
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: again at Dodger Stadium in October. So that was nostalgic
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: with a capital N. And it's fitting that should be
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: his final outing as a Dodger. That should be it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Either they're gonna get gonna lose this series, the Phillies
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: gonna come back and win the next two games and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Kershaw should go away retire after that, or the Dodgers
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: win this series and Kershaw should not be on the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: roster in the National League Championship Series. He's washed up.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: But if you want to break it down even deeper,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you know what that really was watching Clayton Kershaw on
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the mound in October baseball, That is autumn in Los Angeles.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: It is autumn in Los Angeles. Now the rest of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the country gets pumpkin spice lattes, you get crisp cool air,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: you get leaves changing colors, the signs of the seasons
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. You know that it's autumn when Clayton
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Kershaw is writing the vomit comet over the skies around
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Dodger State, and that is autumn in La Clayton Kershaw
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: come boom to the boom, just like that. At this point,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: it's muscle memory for Clayton Kershaw. It's like he can
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: do it blindfolded. It even looks like he's blindfolded. On
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the mound in every October, the man steps on the mound,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: he's got the shoulders slump, the face looks like he
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: just found out someone keyed his brand new tesla. You know,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Kershaw's serving up for let right down the middle, right
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: down the middle, batting practice fastballs. He called those the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: five thirty fastballs, right down the middle. And the phillies.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: They weren't so much swinging bats up there. They were
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: swinging tennis rackets, is what they were doing. And despite
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: this rich catalog of suck, every single time It is
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the most fascinating thing the study of hero worship. Every
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: single time the Kershaw apologist in southern California crawl out
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: from under their palm trees and they give the same speech.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I'll give out the number here and you know, I'll
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: open up her phone calls. Of course, the Kershaw marching
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and shout of society won't call in because there's really
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: nothing you can say. But I know the speech anyway,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I've heard it so many times over the last fifteen years.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I don't need you to call up and give me
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the speech. It's well, you know, but ye, yeah, but yeah,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: but he's a Hall of Famer, yeah but yeah, but yeah,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: he's done so much for the city. Yeah but yeah,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: or you have his Dave Roberts fault, Yeah but yeah,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: but yeah, but yeah. Okay, I've heard it all. I've
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: heard it all. I've seen it all. Okay, Right, so
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: he did a lot for the city. Great, so did
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the guy who invented the snuggie. Uh, you want to
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: put him in the Hall of Fame. Doesn't mean I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: want him pitching in a postseason game. I don't. I don't.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I doubt the mayor of Barf City and the numbers
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: since twenty twenty three. Kershaw's era in the postseason is horrific.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Since twenty eighteen, he's got an ERA five point one,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and since twenty twenty three has earned run average is
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: forty two point eight. That's not a misprint. Forty two
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: point eight postseason era since the start of the twenty
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: twenty three postseason. That is baseball armageddon. And and the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: body of language with Kershaw is another great part of this, right.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Nobody does it better the I just gave up another
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: bomb face than Clayton Kershaw. He's got it down. It
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: is art. It is performance art by Clayton Kershaw. The
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: head down, that little lip twitch thing that he's got
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a little shuffle around the mound, you cue the organ music,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the mock funeral, and as Jim Nantz would say, tradition
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: unlike any other. Now that would be the that should
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: be it. And they're gonna give him like seven statues
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: because the Dodgers are all about that action now, So
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: why not give Kershaw a statue of him with the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: head down, the shoulder shrug and all that worst big
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: game picture of the modern era. And it's not even close.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: The guy is a picasso on a Wednesday night against
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the Rock He's at Dodger Stadium and against the Phillies
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: in a playoff game in October on a Wednesday night.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: It's a finger painting. It's a kindergarten piece of art,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: is what it is. And they had to dig up
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the mound after every postseason Shelly, it's essentially a crime
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: scene when Kershaw so bad, guys, He's bad, all right. Now,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: last word to Chicago we go and this this was
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: not a closed out game. It could have been, but
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, the Cubbies for your Femi and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Eugene in Chicago, and Tree and all my guys in
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the mallad militia there in Chicago. The Cubs showed that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: they are not ready to just roll over and go
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: on vacation and go down to cancuon tee times on hold,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: as Chicago put up a four run spot on the
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Brewers start at Quinn Priester in the first thing. But
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: this series, what is going on? All these runs scored
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: early and then not a whole bunch of runs scored
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: after that. But Quinn Priester on the mound was amazing
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: for the Brewers. In the regular season in the first inning,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and then the Cubs had to hold on. They scored
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: all of their runs in the first inning and did
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: just enough to win by the hair on their chinny
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: chin chin as they got a strong effort from the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: bullpen there. The Brewers did, but not enough so they
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: couldn't come all the way back four to three the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: final in favor of the team from Chicago, so we
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: get a game four later on on Thursday. Now, after
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the game, Quinn Priester he playing the blame game. He
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: pointed the finger entirely at himself. He said, quote everyone
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: else played real well, with the exception of myself. That's
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: entirely on me. Close quote all right, question, does Brewers
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: starter Quinn Priester taking the blame work for you? So
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the way I'll answer this is, I do enjoy athletes
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: just admitting they sucked. I think that's important. I'll give
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you a puffy sticker for owning it. That said, it
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: does not change the fact that he shriveled up like
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: a grape in the sun. Who This is a guy
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: that had been big balls, Bob our guy from Vegas
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: big balls all regular season. And so I'll give you
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a golf clap. I'll call you
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a mensch. Congratulations, you're a mensch for saying that they
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: don't hand out like parade floats and all that for
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: quality quotes. In Milwaukee had opportunities, like they were playing
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: with matches. Eventually they got burned here and now they
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: got to sweat it out. Right, Now you got to
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: sweat it out. You get you know, game four suddenly
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: becomes a bigger deal. I would play Game four like
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: it's Game five and you have Game five in your
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: back pocket. But the Cubs, now they can smell blood
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: in the ivy. Should not be blood in the ivy.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe Doc Mike puts them out there in the ivy.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: But Chicago, they've turned this thing into a little bit
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: more of a street fight. Not quite there yet. There
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: is no such thing as momentum. But in terms of
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: circling back to Quinn Priester taking the blame and all that,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a guy that dominated during the regular season. Remember, as
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the baseball marketing slogan from years ago went legends are
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: born in October, Well legends also die in October. If
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: you want reference, look at Clayton Kershaw for an example.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: So you've got to do better, and you've got to
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: be better, and there's no guarantee this guy gets another start.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: That could be all she wrote. That could be the
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: end of the road in terms of playoff baseball for
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Quinn Priester. It is the Ben Malor Show. And if

  Speaker 1: satin night, John on back to it all right, We
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: will get back to it right now. And a reminder,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: this is the National League Hour breaking down the mostly
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the Dodger Phillies game. But because that's that series. Wow,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: do you want to be kidding me? Yeah? Well, but
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: also the Cubs and the Brews. You want to talk
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: about that. I watched both games and slipping back and forth.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: They're a little Chile in Chicago. It's getting to October.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Nowns there you little cold La not so much, not
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: so much. But the Dodgers serve up some meatballs there,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: vintage Kershaw performance, the dwarf Man writes, And this guy's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: a big time comic, he says. Whenever Turnshaw is on
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the mound, they always cut to a shot of Sandy Kovax.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: That is so crazy. When Kofax is there for the playoffs,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: they fly him and he lives in Florida, they fly
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: him in for the playoffs, and that you're right, it's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: like they have a production meeting before every playoff game.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Is all right with perch Shaw's in cut to Sandy Kofax,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and the Darfman points out, as if these two are
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: in the same universe. I know, it's so stupid. Sports
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Plus tells us that Pasadena is about ten miles from
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. So yeah, Schwarber's home run landed. It actually
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: landed on Colorado Boulevard, right near that cheesecake factory on
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Colorado Boulevard. Is amazing, Nature Boy says, I gotta admit
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: that he answers the call of the while he's yeah,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: a ranger. Ranger is a cool name, he says, Rangers
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: a cool name, and the Dodgers just need to stave
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: off eighth inning relief pitchers and they'll be fine. That's
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: what they gotta do. What else do we have to see?
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Page nin This guy Donut. I think we found Kershaw's
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: burner account. The Donut I believe is the name there.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: He's a very heard, he's got his dodger once, he's
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: he's a little shrine to Kershaw, a little fanboy shrine
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: to Kershaw. What a dope? What else do we have?
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: This is a I laugh? Oh god, So I love
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: this job. It's because of people like that that I
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: love this job. The people that just are losers, Oh
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: my god, I love the losers. Big Lou rites in
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: from the LBC, says Clayton Kershaw. His pitches looked similar
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: to Mallord pitching at the Inland Empire sixty six ers game. Well,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Big Lou, first of all, you're wrong. You're referring to
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the pitch. I believe that was in Bakersfield with the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: old Bakersfield Blaze, with Rod, the Ambassador of Bakersfield. We
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: went out there throughout the first pitch years ago, had
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: a great time. It was magical and hopefully I'm hoping
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: if things work out with our buddy Mike in New Hampshire,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: and in the Leprechaun, we pushed back our Boston sojourn.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: We want to honor Masshole Mickey who passed away last year.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: And hopefully we can go to a WU Socks game
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: and like throw out the first pitch there. That'll be
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: like the next time, hopefully if all things line up
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: in the summer of twenty twenty six, and I will
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: show everyone the velocity, the ferocity that I have on
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: the mound. Hugh on the five, all right, since it's
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: been my exact comment when Kershank got on the mound
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: was Kershaw is going to end his career barfing? And yeah,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened. Mark, the full name guy says
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: two two is a third, not a quarter of or
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: one force of the devil six sixty six Shobert really
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: caused you some brain damage? Well, no, Mark, I could
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: do a perfect show. I just want to make sure
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: that you're paying attention. So occasionally I'll throw a mistake
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: in there because I know you're so so tight. Shall
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: we say, you got to stick up your keyster that
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: you're going to comment when I make a mistake, But
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I do it intentionally. I do it for you. Otherwise
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I can do a perfect show. If I choose to
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: do a perfect show, I'd like to throw mistakes in
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: just to make sure you're listening. Keep you on your toes.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you for that, Thank you. That's what I'm here for. Yes, exactly.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Mark's retired as a caller. He could not handle. And
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: it's not easy to be a talk radio caller. You
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: gotta stay ont hold for a while. You don't know
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: when I'm gonna go to you. You don't know how
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: much airtime you're gonna get. It's not that easy. It's
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: it is a grind. And much like professional athletes have
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: to retire from calling talk radio, Mark the full name guy,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: his body could not handle it. Jason the Diamond Man
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: writes and says, if you look up vomit comet in
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the dictionary, the eighth inning of that game is the
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: picture under it. Ben Mahler, without a doubt, the perfect
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: a block of our number one. Well, thank you, number
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I do appreciate that, very kind. All right, let's go
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: to the phones and let's see who do we have
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: here page. Let's go, Let's go to j. Who's in La. Hello, J,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: You're on Fox Sports Radio. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: Hello J Mallard, how are you?
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a Shaw, but
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: not Kershaw because he got lit up.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: He did, he did, But I don't blame him. I
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: just think that day hung him out to dry. And
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: with that being said, I think all the energy was
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: wasted in his first innings. I just want to know
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: who your team is, because if you thinksh All was
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: the worst guy out there, who would you have thrown
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: out there?
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: By the way, you know what I love about you
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: is I mentioned in the monologue all of the excuses
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the Kershaw marching in shadow society, I think, and you
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: just repeated them verbatim. I mean, my god, just you literally,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: just you that was a carbon copy what I just said.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: He literally by ten minutes. Ten minutes ago. I did
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: a fifteen, I did a monologue, and I went through
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: all of the excuses the Kershaw clan give, and you
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: just laid them all out perfectly. Are you psyched? Then?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Apparently I am. I had no idea blame Dave Roberts.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: It's oh my god, how about some accountability? How about Kershaw?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: How about him? How about you sure retired? He's hurting
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers yet again. How about the fact that guy's
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: cost him three championships? How about that who is.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: Better than Khaw? This age?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Anybody in the playof Are you, my god? Are you
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: out of your bloody mind? I know you're a little fanboy,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: but my god, the guy blows? What do you want?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: My god? Are you trolling me? This must be you're
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: trolling me? Right, You've got to be troubling. You can't
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: be a human being that watches baseball and say who
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: else is better than Kershaw? My god, historically in the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: baseball has been played since the eighteen eighties or whatever.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: He's one of the worst all time in big games?
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Who would you go to at that point when they're oh,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: my god, when there's no ball behind them? You do
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: understand Kershaw shouldn't eve be on the roster? Do you
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: understand that? Like he's done, He's been done for years.
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: That is how terrible the bullpen I will get.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Are you agree with mine?
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: That are?
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: But don't don't blame Day. I love ripping Day Roberts
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: as much as anybody, but don't blame Roberts on this. Okay,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Kershaws have grown up. He gives me so Kershaw sucks
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: so much, so you're admitting he blows that he can
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: only pitch one eating. The guy stinks that you snuck
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: him out there. You got an inning out of him,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: and he's so bad. You gotta take Kershew off the mounta.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: You're telling me that more. Alright, I got I gotta go.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, I appreciate it's gonna go bang
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: my head against Isn't that great? Lorena? I mean, I
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: literally I was mocking the Kershaw marching in shout of Society,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: and my man Jay immediately calls up and repeats the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: talking points memo that I laid out word for word.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh my god. Yes, all right, but
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I do like the Dodgers, But unlike guys like David Vasse,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I'm actually critical of the Dodgers. I don't lick the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: player's toes, unlike those guys. Jonathan in Delaware. There's sound
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: of it right there, Jonathan Delaware, he writes in He says,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: all I have to say about Clayton Kershaw is Seriously, though,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: is there a worse big game picture than him, especially
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: considering how good he's been in the regular season. I've
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: never seen anything like it. He always has the yips
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: in the postseason. I hope they start him every single game. Yeah,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: he says Jonathan in Delaware, laughing at the Doyers. Well again,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: he should not pitch again. They should just take him
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: off the playoff roster and that's it. Super Market Steve says,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: what's your opinion or what's opinion rather? Do you think
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: incites more rage from the bleeding heart Dodger fan base?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Your opinion that Clayton Kershaw was overrated or my opinion
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: that Vin Scully was overrated. I've had people take swings
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: at me because I told him I didn't like Vin. Well, yeah,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: the Vin thing's more offensive. The Vin things more offensive.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: The people that think Kershaw is overrated or right. The
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: people that think Scully was overrated are wrong. See there's
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: a difference there. There's a point of demarkation with that conversation.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Texas Bryan, who's still mourning the loss of Luka Doncik
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: to the Lakers, He says, the Doyer's bullpen was so pathetic.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I swear I saw Sandy Kofax yelling down to Dave
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Roberts put me in coach LA's cooked, Philly's got the juice.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Now there is no juice. Stop with that. Listen. I
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: love bashing Kershaw on the Dodgers when they play like that.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: There's no woman. The Dodgers can come back, go win
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: with Glass. Now the series will be over. That's it now.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I personally hope there is a Game five this weekend.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I would like to see it because I love that situation.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: The choke factor is very high, and I'm there for it.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Fat Daddy writes in he says, you nailed your monologue.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I was wondering, is there away? Dave Roberts is eligible
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: for the wild card and the next In the next round,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Daniel says. Vassay says, for every time Kershaw has a
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: bad outing, he can give an example of a good one.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Can we give you two on a debate? Get you
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: on two hundred? Debate about it soon. Well, it's harder
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: to bait Vessa because he's buddy buddies with those guys,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: so he's kind of compromised. So I'm not friends with
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: those guys, so I can actually give an honest opinion.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: When your buddies with him, it becomes a problem. It's
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: like Howard Stern. First, you know Stern lost it years ago.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: But when he was good at talk radio, he never
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to be friends with celebrities because he wanted to
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: ask him tough questions things like that. And it's true,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: once he became friends with celebrities, his show was terrible.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: That was the point his show started sucking when he
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: started becoming friends with all the people he used to
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: goof on and he wanted to be friends with him.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: And so it's general, you gotta you gotta have some
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: separation from that, definitely, Rob writes in and says mallardly
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Dodgers cheerleader and sycophant. On Suicide Watch, he says about
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: about to lose Game four is going on. I don't,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. I'm I expect him
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: to lose. I hope they win, but I expect them
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: to lose. I don't. I don't know what you're talking about, Scrooge,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: says Ben. How can you not blame Dave Roberts. We
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: all know, oh, Kershaw does not show up in the
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: postseason yet. Roberts is the jackass who keeps on throwing
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Kershaw out there, knowing he's got a decade of experience
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: choking away games when they met. Well, Roberts says, well,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I liked him in that spot. I liked him in
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: that spot, is what he says. It is the ben
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: malechow random Ryan writes in He's in Carolina, he says,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: a plus in a five piece of smoked Carolina gold barbecue. Yummy, yummy, yummy.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Can I get some brisket wing? He says, barbecue wings.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I'll take that. Not a monologue. Didn't see any baseball
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: tonight because I was at work, but I'm pretty sure
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: it happened. Yeah, I did. It did, Actually, it did happen.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: There were I mean not. You know, it's all day.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: It's like NonStop. It's like a lot of baseball from
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: like the afternoon to the nighttime, the whole of the
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: whole shebang. So the Toronto Blue Jays, we're talk more
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: about this as we go through the night. The Blue
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Jays have eliminated, exterminated the Yankees from the postseason. The
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Yankees are out of the baseball postseason, and so the
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: victor goes to music and in the visitors' locker room
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium, Toronto, celebrating with champagne. The Bubbly Bath
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: theres they advanced to the Final four of Major League Baseball,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: and the Blue Jays cranked up the old boom box
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: in the locker room, and they were playing New York,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: New York in the locker room, the iconic Sinatra song
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: there in a celebration to troll the Yankees. And sure
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: some Yankee fanboys will be triggered by that, But maybe
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: you should win some of these series and then people
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: can't be doing that in your ballpark. I'm just saying.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just pointing that out time now for the who
• 36:43

• 36:49
  Speaker 1: to that, but here is the who am I Game?
• 36:51

• 36:58
  Speaker 1: reliever to allow home run on the first pitch I threw,

  Speaker 1: but still pitch five or more innings and earn a
