Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Talking Bays Ball.
- 0:02Speaker 2: It's our number one, our one of the Ben Maler Show.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Welcome in on this Friday, the seventeenth day of October,
- 0:11Speaker 2: and today we wax loquacious about Major League Baseball. I
- 0:15Speaker 2: did want to say the Fifth Hour podcast is coming
- 0:17Speaker 2: up later today. I was inspired. There's some stories I'm
- 0:21Speaker 2: ranting and raving on today's podcast, you know, just random
- 0:24Speaker 2: things off the top of my mind. But I was
- 0:26Speaker 2: inspired by something the Boston Celtics did. It triggered a
- 0:30Speaker 2: memory from years ago, very good memory I wanted to
- 0:33Speaker 2: share with you that we'll talk about in the fifth
- 0:35Speaker 2: Hour podcast. And some other random factoids. But here in
- 0:38Speaker 2: hour number one was the opener a tactical error for
- 0:43Speaker 2: Pat Murphy's brew crew as they are now on life support.
- 0:46Speaker 2: The Brewers are down three in the National League Championship Series. Also,
- 0:51Speaker 2: with the Dodgers being in the driver's seat, is there
- 0:54Speaker 2: anything at all to nitpick about the Dodgers' performance in
- 0:58Speaker 2: the National League Championship Series is as they are dominating
- 1:02Speaker 2: in the playoffs, eight and one record in the postseason. Also,
- 1:05Speaker 2: if you were the Detroit Tigers, would you pay Trek
- 1:09Speaker 2: Scooble four hundred million dollars. The Tigers offered him about
- 1:13Speaker 2: two hundred million dollars less than that last year. It's
- 1:16Speaker 2: a gigantic pay gap. We'll talk about that as well.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Here it is our number one.
- 1:25Speaker 1: It was an odd brew. If you will.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Welcome in the beginning, come another night of the Ben
- 1:35Speaker 2: Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere, light minded
- 1:41Speaker 2: patrons as we swing for the fences, long ball city,
- 1:47Speaker 2: coast to coast, voort the voter and beyond on the
- 1:51Speaker 2: mast and robustly powerful microphones of FSR AM modinating live
- 1:58Speaker 2: from the belly What's in my belly the belly of
- 2:02Speaker 2: the audio beasts the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios
- 2:06Speaker 2: as approved by the Good Doctor, Doc Dan Tony from
- 2:10Speaker 2: Texas and Brian in Colorado all approved this message and
- 2:15Speaker 2: this portion of the Ben Malshow and Fox made possible
- 2:17Speaker 2: in part by our friends at ti Iraq.
- 2:19Speaker 1: For over forty years, ti.
- 2:21Speaker 2: I Raq has been helping customers like Alf and ferg
- 2:23Speaker 2: Dog find the right tires for how, what and where
- 2:25Speaker 2: they drive ship fast and free, which makes mister nis
- 2:29Speaker 2: guy very happy. Back by free road hazard protection with
- 2:32Speaker 2: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, Tire i raq
- 2:38Speaker 2: dot Com the way tire buying show me, and we're
- 2:43Speaker 2: back at it. And so I was at the intersection.
- 2:46Speaker 2: I could have made a right turn, I could have
- 2:48Speaker 2: made a left turn. I decided to go right down
- 2:51Speaker 2: the middle and not make any turn. So I made
- 2:54Speaker 2: that editorial decision based on the feedback that I have gotten.
- 2:58Speaker 2: We had a football game it was supposed to suck,
- 3:01Speaker 2: that didn't suck. That was actually a decent game. And
- 3:04Speaker 2: so we'll get to that at some point throughout the night.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Obviously the American League, which wasn't much of a game.
- 3:09Speaker 2: We're gonna start in the National League, which also wasn't
- 3:10Speaker 2: much of a game. But we got to start somewhere,
- 3:13Speaker 2: and we have a blank audio canvas, four hours of
- 3:16Speaker 2: talk radio to take us through the overnight hours here.
- 3:20Speaker 2: So our lead is in La A, sun soaked there.
- 3:23Speaker 2: There's nothing like getting people into Dodgers Stadium in the
- 3:26Speaker 2: middle of downtown Los Angeles, hit rush hour. Great scheduling,
- 3:30Speaker 2: great scheduling. They do it for television, So sun soaked,
- 3:33Speaker 2: late afternoon there in the middle of rush hour traffic.
- 3:36Speaker 2: The maz Now he didn't start because the Brewers are idiots,
- 3:40Speaker 2: but they he was the guy leading the Brewers traveling
- 3:42Speaker 2: circus in due Chavez Ravine in a gotta have it
- 3:46Speaker 2: and this really was a gotta have it game for
- 3:49Speaker 2: the Brewers, a matchup with the Dodgers.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Game three.
- 3:51Speaker 2: You blew the first two games at home. You gotta win,
- 3:54Speaker 2: Milwaukee looking to dig out of a hole.
- 3:57Speaker 1: How did that go? Well?
- 3:59Speaker 2: If you watched it, you know, oh what happened, But
- 4:00Speaker 2: maybe you were busy doing something. I don't know what
- 4:02Speaker 2: you're up to. Tommy Tanks delivered Tommy Edmund, the hero
- 4:07Speaker 2: from last year's playoffs in the NLCS, to Tommy Edmund.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Here the tie breaking single off the rookie flamethrower Jacob
- 4:16Speaker 2: Mazeroski the mizz in their two run, two run sixth inning,
- 4:21Speaker 2: and the Dodgers able to out maneuver the brew Crew
- 4:25Speaker 2: three to one. And so there's a very fat woman
- 4:29Speaker 2: who's warming up her vocal cords right now as the
- 4:32Speaker 2: Doyers have a three games to none lead in the
- 4:36Speaker 2: best of seven National League Championship Series. That tells me
- 4:41Speaker 2: that the Dodgers need to win one more game if
- 4:43Speaker 2: my malor math is correct. And so the Dodgers, who
- 4:45Speaker 2: underachieved during the regular season used load management, left starting
- 4:50Speaker 2: pitchers out for months at a time. Was a rag
- 4:54Speaker 2: tag lineup much of the regular season. They needed so
- 4:57Speaker 2: much to win a wild Card series against the low
- 5:00Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds to start out the postseason marathon. And here
- 5:05Speaker 2: we are, the Dodgers have played nine playoff games. And
- 5:08Speaker 2: all those really sexy stories that were written before the
- 5:12Speaker 2: baseball season about how great the Dodgers were, well, they're
- 5:15Speaker 2: looking like it now. They didn't look like it in
- 5:17Speaker 2: the regular season for much of it. With the Dodgers
- 5:20Speaker 2: are now in position. They're in the pole position to
- 5:25Speaker 2: become the first defending champion to reach the World Series
- 5:30Speaker 2: in sixteen years.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I was barely.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Alive the last time this happened. No defending champion has
- 5:36Speaker 2: gotten back to the Fall Classic since the Ryan Howard
- 5:39Speaker 2: Jimmy Rollins Philadelphia Phillies back in nine and no team's
- 5:45Speaker 2: won consecutive. You gotta get all the way back to
- 5:47Speaker 2: the nineties. Holy crap on a cracker, Batman, you got
- 5:51Speaker 2: to go back to the nineties. The Tory Jeter Bernie
- 5:55Speaker 2: Williams Yankees.
- 5:56Speaker 1: From ninety eight.
- 5:57Speaker 2: To two thousand, the Yankees took three championships in a row.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Now.
- 6:01Speaker 2: The better story though, is in the losing locker room,
- 6:04Speaker 2: although barely the better story at this point, barely.
- 6:07Speaker 1: The better story.
- 6:08Speaker 2: So Brewers manager Pat Murphy, who I kind of like
- 6:11Speaker 2: this guy, right, It seems like my kind of guy.
- 6:13Speaker 2: He seems like the kind of guy you want to
- 6:14Speaker 2: hang out with. Seems like it seems like a good dude.
- 6:17Speaker 1: He's taking a.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Lot of crap, a lot of backlash. If you saw
- 6:20Speaker 2: the game, you don't what I'm talking about. He made
- 6:22Speaker 2: the decision, and I'm sure this wasn't his decision. It
- 6:24Speaker 2: was somebody ahead of him, but they made the decision
- 6:26Speaker 2: collectively to start Aaron Ashby as the opener, and that
- 6:32Speaker 2: that's pretty good jumping off points. I think we'll start
- 6:34Speaker 2: with that, so let us discuss the question. Was the opener,
- 6:39Speaker 2: if you will, a tactical error by Pat Murphy and
- 6:43Speaker 2: the brew crew in game number three of the NLCS.
- 6:47Speaker 1: So my thoughts was about, that's right. I've got I've got.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Warner Brothers, Doogie Howser MD and refurbished iPhone, and we
- 6:56Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together and we are
- 7:01Speaker 2: going to make fireballs, because it's gonna take fire balls
- 7:04Speaker 2: for the brew crew to come back to answer the question.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Was this strategy of going with the opener, meaning Aaron
- 7:11Speaker 2: Ashby a tactical error. Now you could say this is
- 7:14Speaker 2: after the fact, but I'm nodding my head. Yes, I
- 7:17Speaker 2: have long died on the mountain of despising these openers.
- 7:23Speaker 2: Well you're such a boomer. Well I'm not a boomer. However,
- 7:26Speaker 2: back in my day we call this a spring training game.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Now they came up with a term for it. So, well,
- 7:33Speaker 2: it's an opener, you know, because we're smarter than everyone.
- 7:35Speaker 2: We're the smartest people in the room. Okay, So Pat
- 7:38Speaker 2: Murphy and the Brewers Nerds got cute. They started as
- 7:41Speaker 2: cat Aaron Ashby as the opener, and it went exactly
- 7:45Speaker 2: how you would expect things to go when you let
- 7:48Speaker 2: the analytical department cosplay and do the strategy.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Here he got how many outs? One out?
- 7:57Speaker 2: One out, one more out than you got, one more
- 7:58Speaker 2: out than I got. Before all of a sudden, Pat
- 8:03Speaker 2: Murphy's oh, you know what I gotta I gotta get
- 8:05Speaker 2: this guy out of the game.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Uh yeah, one out.
- 8:07Speaker 2: And then they brought them is in Jacob Mazaraski, who
- 8:11Speaker 2: was thrown really pretty much into a blender.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Uh, here you go. The whole point of the opener
- 8:16Speaker 1: is like, Okay, we're gonna get you in. There be
- 8:18Speaker 1: a soft landing. Uh no. Uh. Now, the Brewers are averaging,
- 8:21Speaker 1: if my math is correct, one run a game.
- 8:24Speaker 2: In the league Championship Series. They were one of the
- 8:26Speaker 2: top offensive teams in baseball this year. And starting Aaron
- 8:29Speaker 2: Ashby not the greatest solution, not the way to solve
- 8:33Speaker 2: the Rubik's QB here for the Brewers. The again, the
- 8:36Speaker 2: point is you start the opener, you give the the
- 8:40Speaker 2: bulk guy, because why not a soft spot to come in.
- 8:44Speaker 2: But instead, as we said Pat Murphy, uh, the Brewers
- 8:47Speaker 2: lit the match and they dropped it on the bullpen
- 8:51Speaker 2: there and the dirty little secret when you run the
- 8:53Speaker 2: openers out, it is unbecoming in the postseason. It's just embarrassing, right,
- 8:59Speaker 2: And the Dodgers have done it, the Yankees have done it.
- 9:02Speaker 2: It's just embarrassing. It's usually because you have a roster
- 9:06Speaker 2: that is devoid of elite talent. Right, you don't have
- 9:09Speaker 2: the horses. You just don't have the horsepower, and the
- 9:12Speaker 2: Brewers don't.
- 9:14Speaker 1: They don't.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Lost Brandon Woodrif to injury and so that's fine. But
- 9:17Speaker 2: the openers, I don't like them anything outside of the
- 9:21Speaker 2: Cactus League of the grape Fruit League, if you want
- 9:23Speaker 2: to make an argument.
- 9:24Speaker 1: They work in April and May.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Okay, not in the National League Championship Series, not against
- 9:29Speaker 2: a real lineup.
- 9:31Speaker 1: And I don't think the Dodgers did anything special.
- 9:36Speaker 2: People are like, oh, I told you malor the Dodgers
- 9:38Speaker 2: are gonna gonna flip the switch, and they.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Flipped the switch.
- 9:43Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think the offense is all that good. Actually,
- 9:45Speaker 2: through sixteen pitches. Sixteen pitches, what a bleeping joke.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Got one out, as we said.
- 9:53Speaker 2: And the Milwaukee plan, well that was in the toilet,
- 9:57Speaker 2: that was in the crapper before most most of the
- 10:00Speaker 2: people had gotten through the traffic into the ballpark.
- 10:03Speaker 1: And it's the classic.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Move, I'm smarter than you, and I'm smarter than everyone
- 10:08Speaker 2: else who's in this little.
- 10:10Speaker 1: Room we're in and all that now even more embarrassing. Though.
- 10:14Speaker 2: The brew crew had the dream set up, so he said, well,
- 10:18Speaker 2: it didn't work out with Ashby, and the miz came
- 10:22Speaker 2: in and he actually did a pretty good job for
- 10:23Speaker 2: a while. The thing that blows you away about this, though,
- 10:28Speaker 2: is you figured the Brewers offense hadn't been very good,
- 10:30Speaker 2: and here's an opportunity because glass Noow did not make
- 10:34Speaker 2: it deep, deep into the game, and so you were
- 10:38Speaker 2: given a lot of time against the Dodgers' bullpen, and
- 10:43Speaker 2: the brew crew had an atomic elbow dropped on them
- 10:47Speaker 2: by the Dodger bullpen. Who saw that coming. You wouldn't
- 10:51Speaker 2: trust those guys to guard a hot dog stand.
- 10:53Speaker 1: And they went out there and did fine.
- 10:55Speaker 2: They twisted the Brewers lineup into pretzels, and so three
- 10:59Speaker 2: games into the National League Championship Series and everything the
- 11:03Speaker 2: Brewers had been pesky, determined, annoying, all that good stuff.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Now it's like a Warner Brothers cartoon, Pepe the pew
- 11:13Speaker 2: pu What stinks?
- 11:14Speaker 1: Milwaukee?
- 11:15Speaker 2: Three runs, nine hits, twenty seven innings of baseball. William
- 11:19Speaker 2: Contreras hitless in Game three for Milwaukee, part of a
- 11:23Speaker 2: two for thirty three combined performance for the likes of
- 11:26Speaker 2: Christian Yelich and Bryce Terrang who's still pogo sticking out
- 11:31Speaker 2: of the way of a pitch in Game one that
- 11:34Speaker 2: would have tied the game and would have allowed the
- 11:36Speaker 2: Brewers to go win the game in xt ratings, but
- 11:40Speaker 2: alas he decided not to get hit by the pitch
- 11:42Speaker 2: and so just two for thirty three a couple of singles.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Andrew Vaughn went zero for four with the strikeout and
- 11:49Speaker 2: left some runners in scoring position there. So I believe,
- 11:52Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, he does not have a hit
- 11:54Speaker 2: in the NLCS. So the Brewers right now are drowning.
- 11:58Speaker 2: They're not drowning in the Pacific Ocean. They're drowning in
- 12:02Speaker 2: flop sweat. The lack of discipline at the plate and
- 12:07Speaker 2: the fact that they've got guys chasing pitches out of
- 12:10Speaker 2: the zone outside the strike zone a stark contrast when
- 12:15Speaker 2: you juxtapose what they had been in the regular season
- 12:18Speaker 2: with plate discipline, and again the word is unbecoming.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Now turning the page on that.
- 12:23Speaker 2: From the LA side of things, the question is there
- 12:27Speaker 2: anything anything at all? The Dodgers are eight and one
- 12:30Speaker 2: in the playoffs, they're three to zero in the NLCS.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Is anything we can nitpick about the Dodgers' performance? So,
- 12:37Speaker 2: after a thorough deliberation, I've made the editorial decision that
- 12:41Speaker 2: there is there's one thing that is not right about
- 12:45Speaker 2: the Dodgers, and here it is. You know what, I'm
- 12:48Speaker 2: about to say, do you know, No, you don't. Okay,
- 12:51Speaker 2: the Dodgers are playing such dominant baseball right now, it's
- 12:56Speaker 2: bad television. It's just bad TV. You've got Blake Snell.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Bro I'm risking my life bra Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasner,
- 13:09Speaker 2: who wasn't as good as those guys, but collectively they
- 13:11Speaker 2: have gone doogie howser MD and they have put the
- 13:14Speaker 2: people watching the NLCS into a medically induced coma. Watching
- 13:18Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Brewers attempt to hitting Dodgers' er now from
- 13:21Speaker 2: starters is under two.
- 13:23Speaker 1: It's barely a run and a half.
- 13:24Speaker 2: It has been a master class, an absolute master class
- 13:28Speaker 2: on starting pitching, the Dodgers' rotation.
- 13:30Speaker 1: And the bullpen.
- 13:32Speaker 2: In the bullpen, I can't believe I'm saying that the
- 13:34Speaker 2: bullpen if it lights out. The Brewers collectively have a
- 13:38Speaker 2: one forty three batting average. I didn't play major league baseball.
- 13:42Speaker 2: I don't think that's good. I don't think that's good.
- 13:45Speaker 2: Their op on base plus slugging is two to three,
- 13:49Speaker 2: which I also think is not good. The slugging percentage alone.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Is at a buck ninety, at a buck ninety and
- 13:55Speaker 1: the three runs.
- 13:56Speaker 2: So the Dodgers are hitting on all cylinders and it's
- 13:59Speaker 2: not a great product to watch right now. And it's
- 14:01Speaker 2: just a matter of when. It's not a matter of
- 14:03Speaker 2: if they get back to the World Series. And while
- 14:05Speaker 2: Toronto and Seattle appear to be in a catfight, the
- 14:08Speaker 2: Dodgers can soon sneak in a nice vacation, go to
- 14:12Speaker 2: Hawaii if they want, for a couple of days before
- 14:13Speaker 2: the Fall Classic. Now, teams take a three to nothing
- 14:17Speaker 2: lead in any best of seven postseason series have gone
- 14:21Speaker 2: on to win forty out of forty one times. That
- 14:25Speaker 2: is a ninety seven point six percent success rate. Thirty
- 14:28Speaker 2: one sweeps out of the forty one. Now, the one
- 14:32Speaker 2: time that didn't happen. If you're old enough to have
- 14:35Speaker 2: remembered way back, I can't believe it's been twenty one years.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Holy crap, But the four American League Championship Series, there
- 14:43Speaker 2: was this team called the Boston Red Sox, and they
- 14:45Speaker 2: had this thing called the Curse of the Bambino, and they.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Did the thing they weren't supposed to do at the time.
- 14:50Speaker 1: They weren't supposed to do it.
- 14:51Speaker 2: They came all the way back and they got it
- 14:53Speaker 2: done Red Sox against the Yankees that year. There was
- 14:55Speaker 2: this little pesky guy the Red Sox picked up in
- 14:58Speaker 2: a cash deal from the Dodgers who was a pinch
- 15:00Speaker 2: runner named Dave Roberts, who sparked the Red Sox comeback
- 15:05Speaker 2: with a steal off Mariano Rivera. I don't know what
- 15:07Speaker 2: happened to Dave Roberts. I don't know what he's doing now.
- 15:09Speaker 2: I think he turned into a sock puppet. All right,
- 15:11Speaker 2: last word. So we're gonna move away from the NLCS
- 15:14Speaker 2: because there's not much more to dissect. Interesting story out
- 15:18Speaker 2: at Detroit where the Tigers have been excommunicated from the playoffs.
- 15:23Speaker 2: They lost to Seattle, and now there's some chatter that
- 15:26Speaker 2: the Tigers are in financial peril as they have to
- 15:29Speaker 2: close the gap.
- 15:30Speaker 1: And oh what a gap.
- 15:31Speaker 2: It is the largest gap in negotiation history. That is,
- 15:37Speaker 2: if they plan on retaining long term, long term these
- 15:40Speaker 2: services of dominating, dominating starting.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Pitcher Terrek School. So I saw this, I thought this
- 15:47Speaker 1: was interesting.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Now, the story bouncing around the pinball machine is that
- 15:51Speaker 2: Detroit offered Schooble less than the one hundred and seventy
- 15:56Speaker 2: million that the Red Sox signed Garrett Crochet two, So
- 16:00Speaker 2: they wanted to pay him less than one hundred and
- 16:02Speaker 2: seventy which seems.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Like a lot of money to me, I know.
- 16:06Speaker 2: And the Schooble, Now, the starting point for Schooble is
- 16:11Speaker 2: four hundred million dollars. Now that means, if you do
- 16:14Speaker 2: the calculation, the Tigers and the player are two hundred
- 16:19Speaker 2: million dollars off in the negotiation. So the question you
- 16:24Speaker 2: make the call, if you were the Tigers, would you
- 16:28Speaker 2: pay one starting pitcher in this case, Derek Scougle four
- 16:32Speaker 2: hundred million dollars plus. Now we always preface these things
- 16:36Speaker 2: by saying that it's not my money. It's not And
- 16:41Speaker 2: you can crunch the numbers and figure out how many
- 16:44Speaker 2: how many advertising dollars do you have to make from TV?
- 16:47Speaker 2: How much money do you have to make from radio?
- 16:48Speaker 2: How much money do you have to make selling hot
- 16:50Speaker 2: dogs to make it work. I look at it and
- 16:54Speaker 2: my eyes get really large, and I just say, well,
- 16:56Speaker 2: that's a boondoggle, is what that is.
- 16:58Speaker 1: That's just a financial boom doggle And I wouldn't do it.
- 17:03Speaker 1: And here's why.
- 17:04Speaker 2: Scooble, to me, has a pre existing condition, and the
- 17:09Speaker 2: fact that he's got, he's got already had elbow issues
- 17:12Speaker 2: and arm issues.
- 17:13Speaker 1: He's fun to watch, he's great to watch.
- 17:16Speaker 2: He's got the gas and the breaking pitches and all
- 17:19Speaker 2: that has got nasty stuff, as the kids say.
- 17:22Speaker 1: But he will turn twenty nine next.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Month, which is not old in the real world, but
- 17:27Speaker 2: in sports it's kind of middle aged. He's already had
- 17:30Speaker 2: the TJ, the Tommy John surgery and been through the
- 17:34Speaker 2: operating room. So that's not just a blank piece of
- 17:38Speaker 2: paper situation. This is a refurbished iPhone. It's like, oh right,
- 17:44Speaker 2: he had the Tommy John schooble. He's pitching very well.
- 17:47Speaker 2: So think about like a refurbished iPhone. You wouldn't pay
- 17:49Speaker 2: full price for a refurbished iPhone. The iPhone has a
- 17:53Speaker 2: crack screen, and that does say certified pre owned. It
- 17:58Speaker 2: says that now the Komodo Dragon in the room, the
- 18:01Speaker 2: Komodo Dragon room scooble is not a whatever it takes warhorse,
- 18:07Speaker 2: And there's nothing nobody liked that in baseball. But like,
- 18:10Speaker 2: if I could justify it, here's how I would justify. So, Okay,
- 18:13Speaker 2: I'm gonna pay this guy four hundred million because I
- 18:16Speaker 2: know if I need him to go one hundred and
- 18:19Speaker 2: twenty one hundred and thirty hundred and forty pitches. He
- 18:22Speaker 2: will do that, and he'll throw one hundred and thirty
- 18:25Speaker 2: pitches into that cold Michigan night sky like a modern
- 18:28Speaker 2: day Jack Morris going out there, big balls and all that.
- 18:32Speaker 2: But no, the Tigers in the American League Divisional round.
- 18:36Speaker 2: He started two games and the Tigers lost both. They
- 18:40Speaker 2: lost both in large part because he was a ninety
- 18:44Speaker 2: nine one hundred pitch guy and ninety nine hundred and
- 18:47Speaker 2: one pitches that's it and has to come out of
- 18:50Speaker 2: the game because he's very delicate. And for four hundred
- 18:53Speaker 2: million dollars, you better give me Shakespeare on the mound
- 18:57Speaker 2: and go above and beyond, go the extra mile and
- 19:01Speaker 2: the Monster contract. I know the Monster contracts are always
- 19:03Speaker 2: lost leaders.
- 19:04Speaker 1: You're not gonna make money on it, you know, just not.
- 19:08Speaker 1: You're not paying for the whole ride.
- 19:11Speaker 2: You're paying for the front seat at the amusement park,
- 19:15Speaker 2: and you're hoping the thing doesn't break down halfway through
- 19:19Speaker 2: the Loop de Loube on the roller coaster. Somebody, we know,
- 19:23Speaker 2: somebody's gonna do it. As I sit here and say, oh,
- 19:26Speaker 2: I'm not gonna pay him. Yeah, it's not my money.
- 19:28Speaker 2: I wouldn't pay him, and I'm skeptical whether the Tigers
- 19:31Speaker 2: are gonna pay him, which means if they're not gonna
- 19:33Speaker 2: pay him, then all of a sudden, the trade thing
- 19:36Speaker 2: becomes a possibility. You never get fair return on investment
- 19:39Speaker 2: with those kind of things, so that's a problem. But
- 19:41Speaker 2: there's some owner who's going to light that match and
- 19:44Speaker 2: toss it on the pile of money and make sure
- 19:46Speaker 2: gasoline is all over it and hope the baseball gods
- 19:50Speaker 2: don't turn the schoobal elbow into or agami by year
- 19:56Speaker 2: four of the contract. So again, we love the player,
- 19:58Speaker 2: it's not my deal. I just think any starting pitcher
- 20:00Speaker 2: the wait baseball's played today, where the value is placed
- 20:04Speaker 2: on the bullpen, I just I wouldn't do it.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Ald. What about the Dodgers.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Okay, the Dodgers have had a good run here in
- 20:09Speaker 2: the NLCS, and it's a little different for them because
- 20:13Speaker 2: they've gotten money to burn because of how they gouge
- 20:16Speaker 2: their fans with tickets and all that and parking at
- 20:18Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium. But there's a little different situation anyway, It
- 20:20Speaker 2: is the Ben Malor Show.
- 20:22Speaker 1: If you would like to be part of this, you can.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Join us right now at eight seven seven ninety nine
- 20:28Speaker 2: on FoST. You also talk about the American League where
- 20:30Speaker 2: Toronto is dead up. Now they've squared the books on
- 20:33Speaker 2: the Mariners again, more evidence that momentum is bull crap
- 20:37Speaker 2: because y'all told me that they had all the momentum.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Oh they can't be stopped, oh my, oh my, until
- 20:42Speaker 2: they got back home.
- 20:43Speaker 1: They must hit their families.
- 20:45Speaker 2: And then also how about they Sincinnatty Bungals the Bengals.
- 20:51Speaker 2: If you watch Benny versus the Penny, the appetizer, Benny
- 20:54Speaker 2: versus the penny, we gave you Cincinnati on that, so
- 20:57Speaker 2: hopefully you want a little bit of cash ola. As
- 20:59Speaker 2: the ben Gals get the win. I didn't think they'd
- 21:01Speaker 2: win the game out right, I thought they'd cover the number.
- 21:03Speaker 2: But the Cincinnati Bengals on a late drive in a
- 21:06Speaker 2: game winning field goal as time essentially ran out, they
- 21:10Speaker 2: win the game. And so that is a bad loss.
- 21:14Speaker 2: That is a stinging loss for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Take
