  Speaker 1: Playball. It's our name bird too, our number two. Now,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: chances are if you listen to the Ben Maler Show
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: podcast that you were a person working the day shift.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're one of the people that used to listen
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: live at night and you took the money like Chris
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and Houston or Can't Close the deal'neil or some of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the other legends that went to the day shift and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: we lost them as active members of the show during
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the live edition. So when you have a sporting event
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: that goes late, people that worked the day shift love
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to complain. For us, it's a great mitzvah. For example,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: we were on the air moments after moments after the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: World Series end. We actually in a commercial break at
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the time Freddie Freeman was to hear it the game
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: winning home run leading off the eighteenth inning Game three
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of the World Series. That's right, eighteen innings. What stood
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: out from the eighteen inning thriller at the ravine goes
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to the Dodgers. Also, what is the word for trying
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to watch the Blue Jays and Dodgers flail away in
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: extra innings during the World Series. The Dodgers' bullpen, which
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: has been the definition of suck was outstanding, thanks in
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: large part to some help by the Toronto Blue Jays.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Also with the Blue Jay pitching staff pitching around, pitching around,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: show Hail Tani. Four intentional walks, five walks in the game.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Does Major League Baseball need to revisit and change the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: intentional walk rule? Bad for the sport? We'll discuss. I
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: will give you my position, my nuanced position on that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: right now here. It is our number two. Freddy puts
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays to Betty Welcome in the beginning of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in
• 1:49

  Speaker 1: com the way tire buying should be and our lead
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: this story from Chavez Ravine that the scene Downtown LA.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Overlooking Downtown La. That the stage for Game three of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the World Series. You had Vladimir Guerrero Junior Flattie leading
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays as they flew into La for a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: matchup with sho Hey O'tani and the Dodgers. Not the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: start of the game seven some hours ago. You had
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Mac Schurzer versus Tyler Glass. Now that was the matchup.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Start Joe Davis and John Smoltz had the call, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the game ended about ten minutes ago. We're doing this
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: in real time. The game ended in about ten minutes ago.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: And why edited in ten minutes ago because Freddie Freeman
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to the moon. If you didn't see it, Freddy Freeman
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: hits a game ender, eighteen inning walk off home run
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: for Freddie Freeman as the Dodgers and Blue Jays played
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: free baseball. A solo home run by Freddie Freeman the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: bottom of the eighteenth and the Blue Crew get a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: six to five win in a game that took six
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: hours and thirty nine minutes, six hours and thirty nine minutes,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a game that had several points where the Blue Jays
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: could have, should have and would have won, but they
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: did not win. So let us discuss. That's a good
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Freddie Freeman your October hero. And so
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the question on this one, the question is what stands out?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: What is your knee jerk reaction to Game three of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the World Series, which just ended a couple of minutes ago.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: So I've got on this one. I've got kryptonite. We've
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: also got Rancho Koukamonga. And if that was not enough,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we will throw in for added effect, we will throw
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in the cry babies, and we'll mix all of these
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: things together, and we are going to make the babaganoochs.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: We're gonna make the baba ganoosh. So the first thing
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that stands out is the amount of baseball that was played.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is eighteen innings of baseball between the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Dodgers and Blue Jays. And you look at some of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the numbers here, which are historic. The Dodgers, for example,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: left eighteen runners on base in this game, eighteen runners
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: on base. The Toronto Blue Jays they ended up with
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: nineteen runners left on base. The Blue Jays were two
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of twelve in runners in scoring positions, so they were
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: not very good in that to barment. The Dodgers on
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the other side, and obviously not good either. They were
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: two for fourteen. It was the show Hey Otani game.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: More on that in a minute. Otani, who was absolutely cooking.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: He was four for four, and then the Blue Jays
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: eventually decided, well, we're not gonna let him beat us,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and so they started walking him. He was walked five times,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: four of those intentional, and Otani tying a major League
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: baseball record for most times reaching base, as he ended
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: up on base nine times in Game three of the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: World Series. So he's had two massive playoff games, the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: one against the Brew crew with all the home runs
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and the pitching, and now this game where the Blue
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Jays just completely could not get him out. They gave up.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: So it's that. And then obviously Freddie Freeman, there'll be
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: seventeen thousand promotions next year. Freddie Freeman, bobblehead, Freddie Freeman,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: replica Jersey, Freddie Freeman, this, Freddie Freeman.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: That.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: But the walk off home run right over the three
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to ninety five sign in center field at Dodger Stadium,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and the Dodgers have won it, and Freddy that post.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He knew he was going to be in the like
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the bobblehead next year, so he had the number one
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: finger in the air. He said, number one right there,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: every everywhere. So the now here's a fun factoid. Are
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you ready for a fun factoid mixed in fun fact
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: All right? So we are told that is now official.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: There have only been two eighteen inning games in world
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: serious history, and Brad Paisley sang the national anthem at
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: both of them. He was there for Game three in
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, and now here in this game, the game
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium here that went eighteen innings. So it's
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: his birthday today. Yeah. The thing also that stands out
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: about this though, is not all losses are the same, right,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's about this hurts because it's an eighteen
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: inn and loss for the Toronto Blue Jays. But I
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: would argue, and I don't think I'm wrong on this.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: You can disagree if you want. This is worse than
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that because the weak spot of the Dodgers, every man,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: woman and child knows is the bullpen. It is a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: parade of horribles the Dodger bullpen. And it wasn't pretty.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of runners on base, there was
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of traction. But in the end, the Dodgers'
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: bullpen was marvelous. It was a chef's kiss. Will Klein,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: who normally he would say, decline immediately a Dodger legend
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: as the pitcher, the nondescript pitcher coming out of the bullpen.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: There Will clinb and pitching a lot of goosegs, a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: lot of goose eggs out of that Dodger bulben. Four innings.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: He threw seventy two pitches out of the bullpen and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: only allowed one hit. He walked a couple of guys,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: but four innings of shutout relief, and he was the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: last man standing for the Dodgers. Now turning the page
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: on that. As for the approach, the approach of both teams,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So the question is is there a word? Is there
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a word?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers kryptonite is their bullpen. The Blue Jays blew it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: They didn't take advantage of that, but just in general,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: both teams were rather flaccid as the game went on.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So what is the word watching the Blue Jays and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Dodgers flail away for what seemed like three hours like
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the game the regular game for three hours. The extra
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: innings were like three hours, three hours plus. So what
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: is the word for the Dodgers and Blue Jays offensive
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: approach for the majority of extra inning baseball there in
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the World Series? So two words, not one word? Two
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: words hero ball, hero ball. Everyone in Dodger blue and
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jay uniforms. Everyone decided that they were going
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to go out there and they were going to be
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the protagonist in the in movie. They were making a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: movie in so many sports movies, and they wanted to
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: be the protagonist in this, and forget team baseball. There
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: wasn't very much of that. Once you got to extra innings,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you've got home run derby. Everyone's trying to hit home runs.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: You get a home run, you get a home run.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: It's Halloween this week, and so it's it's Halloween home
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: run derby. Cosplay is what it was here for the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Dodgers in Blue Jayson, Game three of the World Series.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It was often reckless. It was often irresponsible baseball, that's
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: what it was, and almost no situational hitting when the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Dodgers did try it, and it backfired as they bunted
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the runner across the way and they just needed a
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: sack fly and then of course a pop up to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: shortstop screwed that up. So there was almost no situational hitting,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and then when the Dodgers did try it, it backfired.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: There it was mostly a conga line of guys trying
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to hit the ball outside of the stadium over the pavilion.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: A lot of uppercut swings there from players on both teams,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and that is human nature, right. It's just like in basketball,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: certain guys want to take the shot at the end
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of the game. Now there's other guys that turtle up
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and don't want to take the shot. But in baseball,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: very rarely do you find anyone that doesn't want to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: be the hero and get the postgame interview, get the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: gatorade bath, the whole thing. Hit the game winning home run,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and everyone wants to be on the poster. Everyone wants
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to be on the meme. Now, Freddie Freeman, back to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: back years, Freddie Freeman is on that that moment, and
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: while Tani hit a home run and was on base
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: nine times, Freeman's got to be the lead. Freddie Freeman's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: got to be leading this game. And that iconic photo
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: of him with his finger raised up in the air,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the one finger as he was circling first base. But
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: so you can be a bunch of as we said,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman giveaways next year for the Dodgers. The problem
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: is when everyone's swinging like they're trying to hit the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: ball to Rancho Kuckamonga. Okay, the offense looks like a
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: bad Beer League softball situation. It's not very very pretty.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And so Freddie Freeman did get it. As we said,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: it's the game winning home on Dodgers went it six
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to five in X ratings. That was nine innings times
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: two in the World Series, and history says that the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: winner of Game three has won seventy percent. I believe
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: it's seventy percent of the time. However, as the great
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Dick Stockton inform me, that tells you what has happened,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: not what's going to happen here. And so the final
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: nine innings, while John Smoltz and Joe Davis on the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Fox broadcast were waxing liquacious about how amazing it was
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and how magical it was and all that. They were
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: going on on and on and on, everyone trying to
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: be the Knight in Shining Armor, and occasionally, sometimes the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Knight in Shining Armor is just an idiot wrapped in
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: tinfoil that occasionally happens. That occasionally happens, And so there
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: was there was some of that. Now, the other thing
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I've learned from years and years of doing talk radio
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: is a lot of that game was rather disgusting. It
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: was puke in your mouth bad baseball, fundamentally bad baseball.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: There were pitchers on the Dodgers who fundamentally blow and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays turned them into rock stars because of
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: bad at bats, and they got themselves out a lot
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of the time. I got themselves out a lot of
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the time. So you've got that. But the thing that
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I know, all of this will be forgotten. It's like
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: men in black and they're gonna zap you. They're gonna
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: zap you with the neuraliyes or whatever it's called there.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And the only thing over time that we are going
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to remember is going to be and this is across
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the board. When you watch a big event like this
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: in sports, you're gonna remember two things. You're gonna remember
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the emotional peak and you're gonna remember the end of
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the game. Now, in this case, it's they're both the same.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: The emotional peak was the Freddie Freeman home run. Right now,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: maybe you'll remember Otani got on base nine times. I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: was at the Dodger Red Sox game where when eighteen
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: innings in the twenty eighteen World Series, and I remember
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: two things about that game without looking. I remember the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Max Munsey home run, and I also remember for the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Red Sox Nathan Evaldi pitching ridiculous bullpen came in, pitched
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a bunch of innings. I forget how many, but he
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: saved the Red Sox pitching staff coming in and throwing
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a ton of innings in that game. So those are
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the things I remember, and I was at that game
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: in that World Series back in the day. Now the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: last word here, let's address what everyone will be yapping
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: about outside the outcome of the game, and that would
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: be the sho Hel Tani getting on base nine times game?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: How did you get on base nine times? Well, a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: lot of that was because of the generosity of the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. He was intentionally walked, not once, not twice,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: not three times, but four times. So the question on
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: this one, with the Blue Jay pitchers and the management
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: deciding we're not going to allow Otani to beat us.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: With Otani being pitched around and walked, he's walked five
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: times with four intentional walks. Does Major League Baseball need
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to revisit the intentional walk rule. So a lot of chatter,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of Internet chatter. People upset, many of them
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: work to day shift, many of them are on the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: East Coast. Many of them are belly aching and complaining it's.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Not fair, it's a right.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Or crybabies. So let's address the cry babies in the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: room and we'll tackle the question with Otani intentionally walked
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: four times in this game. Does baseball to revisit the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: intentional walk rule? So I am shaking my head. No,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm shaking my head.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: No on this.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: You cannot legislate out of respect. You cannot do it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: And if a guy is so terrifying, so intimidating that
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: a team in the World Series would rather hand that
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: player first base, just go down the first you've got
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: us by the balls, that's not a problem. That is
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a act of respect for Sho hail Tani, that he's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: such a monster that Toronto is there a bunch of cowards.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: They're afraid of Otani. They're like these other guys. It's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: also a vote of no confidence for the rest of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the Dodger lineup. But I totally get it. The Blue
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Jays didn't just pitch around him. They tapped out in
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: this game. They said no moss, they tossed in the sponge,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: all of that. John the Blue Jays manager, essentially raised
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the white flag and said, please don't hurt us, show hey,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: leave us alone. Four intentional walks are your bloody kidding me?
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: That is the baseball version of pulling the fire alarm. Now,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like it's not
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: great for the sport. It's terrible for the sport. We
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: get it. I understand. I like baseball. I don't like
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: everything about baseball. I like to complain. I get paid
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to complain. So clearly, it's not ideal. It's not. It's
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: just isn't the sport neutering its biggest stars, cutting the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: balls off its biggest stars on the biggest stage around
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: is not what you're hoping for. It's not. It's just
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: bad television. It's bad entertainment. And so that is an
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: issue that you have to factor in here. It would
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: be like telling Patrick Mahomes, Listen, dude, you're so good.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: The defense asked you to not throw a pass in
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and so we're not going to allow
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: you to throw a pass in the Super Bowl because
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you're so good. Or whoever your favorite NBA player is
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: right now. Back in the old days, you'd say Lebron,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: but whoever it was, don't let them shoot the ball
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: in Game seven of the NBA Finals, All right, now,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the yabbit crowd, yabbit, yah, butit yah, yeah, but yeah,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the yabbit rabbit, the yabbit rabbit that says, you know, listen,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: change the rule. It's it's bad for the sport. You
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: got to advance the baseball has been around since the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: eighteen eighties or whatever. You get to advance, advance the sport.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Of course, I'm on the counter of that. My argument
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: is you cannot change the rule every time somebody is
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: so good. It's emasculating. In basketball, they got rid of
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the slam dunk because well, guys, with certain guys, we're
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: too good. Will Chamber of Kareem Abdul Jabbar and players
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: of that Kareem created the shook, which was unstoppable known
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: as leu ale cinder back in those days. But in
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the context of baseball, it's part of the sport of baseball.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: You earn that treatment. They're not walking nobody's four times intentionally.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: So just to play devil's advocate here and again, my
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: position is firmly that baseball does not need to dramatically
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: change this rule, that this is more of an outlier situation.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Now that being said, I did activate the Malar think tank.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: The mal think tank has been activated here and the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: idea we were tossing this around casually or in an
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: earlier hour of the show. It does make a lot
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: of sense that you increase the stakes for players that
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: are so good you're gonna multiple, multiple times intentionally walk
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: a player. So I would be open to it. I
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: wouldn't love it, but I would be open to the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: idea intentional walk. If you walk Otani the first time,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: he gets first base. If you walk him later in
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the game, he gets base. If you walk him a
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: third time, he goes to third base. And if you
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: walk him a fourth time, he just gives give him
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a run. If you're such a coward and your pitching
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: staff blows so much, I'd be open. It is gimmicky,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and I generally try to avoid that kind of stuff.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing, though, if you think that would
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: be too radical, Oh you're just being a shock chock mallard.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: That's why you're on Overnight. They're never gonna consider that.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Oh really, oh really, in my lifetime, In my lifetime,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, ghost runners, bookey, Rob Manford gave you
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: ghost runners. That's literal league, that's Beer League, soft up.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Ghost rutters. Rob Manford gave you ghost rutters. So he
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: said out rage just to think of you won intentially
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: walk a guy four times. He'll just end the game.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: That's it and give you a run pitch clock. That
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: was blasphemy back in the Baseball's got a pitchclock bigger
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: basis the size of pizza box. Who asked for that?
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Baseball's got it? Banned the shift because the players can't adjust.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Baseball did it? So Rob Manford has already turned the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: game into a bit of a funhouse. That bit of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: a fun house here with everything here, all the gimmicks,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and you know, out of an effort to make the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: game of baseball more entertaining. So either way, four intentional walks,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: which is what Otani got here the ultimate badge of
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: riespect for Otani. That is it. Toronto did not pitch
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: to show Halti the meal ticket for the Dodgers the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: entire second half. I guess there was one at back there.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: They had to because there was nobody on. But other
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: than that, uh, for the majority of the World Series
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: game when we went to extra innings, because they knew
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Otani was going to torch him. And so you can
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: wrap that in we want, I'll put a ball on
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: it this way. Major League Baseball, just to clarify my position,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: because I know you only listen to half the things
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I say. If I'm lucky, Major League Baseball does not
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: need a rule change. However, if you want to tinker
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: a little bit, I'd be okay with it. He would
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: add a degree of difficulty, so I'd be okay with that.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I don't love it. That would be a bit of
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: a compromise. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: like to be part, you can join us now. After
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman ends the eighteen inning World Series thriller, the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Dodgers are two wins away from the World Series, and
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: if they win just the games at Dodgers Stadium, they
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: can wrap it up in a couple of games here
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday Night. If they win the next two here,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers have a tremendous pitching advantage, at least in
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the game here on Tuesday Night. Eight seven seven ninety
• 21:44

• 21:59
  Speaker 1: like ask a weed man and we might have to
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: push that back because of the events that have transpired here.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: So we'll likely push that back a little bit, which
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: will not make him happy. Straight ahead, it's a walk
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: off winner and baseball history and somebody get the old
• 22:14

• 23:59
  Speaker 1: nice Genie, So Freddie Freeman. The players in baseball history
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: that have hit home runs in the eighteenth inning all time,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the last player to do it was not Max Muncy.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: It was Jeremy Paina, I believe for the cheating Astros
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: in the accounts, see I just did in the American
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: League Divisional Series. That was back in twenty twenty two.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Max Munsey against the Socks in the twenty eighteen World Series.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Brandon Belt, a Giants legend in twenty fourteen and somebody
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: named Chris Burke in five in the Nation League Divisional Series.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: So there's all kinds of factoids and fun facts and
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: all that as the Dodgers get it done. Freddie Freeman,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: this generation's most clutch player. The legend of Freddie Freeman.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Where does you know do the all time debate? Which
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: is old school talk radio? But Freddie Freeman was some
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: big moments in his career. Let's go to Ryan, who's
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: in so Cow going on, Ryan, Welcome, you're on the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Ben Malor Show.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Hey, Then all right, we'll talk about Freddy Freeman in
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: a second. But watching the game tonight, I'll make an
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: odd analogy, but man, it felt like watching a basketball
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: game where they're running the box at won on show, Hey,
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: and just took the ball out of his hands because
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, he was dominant and on the first nine
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: innings and then I couldn't see a pitch, And you
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: know I wouldn't pitch him either if I was a manager.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Now, it's not great for the product.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know what what would be more unbelievable? The
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: best player in the history of baseball, and it's prime
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: playing for coops and my Angels or Freddie Freeman sitting
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: right next to me his junior senior year in high school.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Aha, there we go, now, here we go, here we go,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: here we go. And how amount how many walk off
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: home runs have you hit? Ryan?
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: I didn't even hit one in Little league?
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Damn in little league?
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: No?
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, man, man, you know what? You know what got
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: me in trouble when I try to swing like the
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Dodgers in that's your inning tonight. But no, seriously, it's
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: crazy that Freddie, he will be All of Famer. Just
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: hold the accomplishments, you know, walk off home runs two
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: years in a row. And you know, I think I
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: told you this, man. Uh. In a senior year, I asked,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: you know, we just it was just one on one
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: and I said, hey, you have a backup plan a
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: case and you get hurt. And the only time I
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: saw him get really frustrated. He didn't lose this cool though,
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: and he just looked at me and said, Coach, I'm
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: going to make it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: Last.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: The last the last day I saw him, he said, uh, Coach,
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: I got to turn back this reading book into the library.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: And he goes, Coach, I'll never have a reading book
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: in my hands again.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: There you go to baseball, but you never have to
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: read again. That's a great testimony for Major League Baseball.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: You never have to read, you don't have to do math,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: you don't have to do any of that. Uh So, yeah,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Freddy's gonna end up in the Hall of Fame. It's
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: not meets all the criteria for the Hall of Fame.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Why why what why why why why why why why?
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: We could talk about this later. But you know what's
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: crazy is so many d one opening the big names
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: Penn State, LSCU, Florida, Oklahoma State, and I'm sure you
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: if you haven't talked about this, ye'll be talking about
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: it later. It's just crazy. How many g U c
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: l A. I mean, I think this is gonna be
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: an off season like we've never seen before in college football.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Well, there's no there's no reason to even pretend and
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: play the game of charades like you have to keep
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the coach because it's free agency every year, so you
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: don't need a coach. It used to be the coach.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: The coaches had the greatest racket college football and basketball
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: coaches they all had to have eight year contracts, and
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: for some reason, they're still giving out those massive contracts,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: even though the players, if they want to change schools
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: every year, they can change schools and get more nil money.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: It's the dumbest thing in the world. At some point
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and again academia, at some point these people will realize
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: what a hustle this is and they'll stop giving out
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: these massive contracts. And there is a there's a supply
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: chain shortage. As you know, Ryan, there's not enough big
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: time coaches in college sports that are beloved, that are
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: named brand coaches. There's more job openings that need those
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: coaches than there are coaches. So if you, if you
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: know any if you know any good coaches, you might
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: want to tell them to start applying.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: So well, in the LSU ad who gained the contract
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: to Brian Kelly? What contract did he give or who
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: did he Who was his last coach before Brian Kelly?
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Well it'd be the the Cajun Fred Flintstone right back
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: back in the day.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: They both jump Jim.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, before the But the guy was at
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: l s U before the Yeah. But Joe, that's right,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: all right, I got you, I got you, all right,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Just give up so that guy, you want that guy
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to hire you and just overpay you. He's all I
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: gotta go, thank you.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: I go.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Let's go to John in Atlanta. Will they bring Freddie
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: back to celebrate him, the beloved Atlanta brave there as
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: he the hero.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Oy brother. Let me tell you, man that when when
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: when Freddy left, Man, it broke my heart, man, because
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I knew that guy was great and everybody knew he was.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: And you know, you know, Olsen is great at first base,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: and he he's a good, you know, hitter, but he's
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: not Freddie Freeman. You know what I'm saying. Uh, he's
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: not a clutch guy.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I was Freddy Freeman's a Hall of Famer
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: and you know Olsen's like a good, good player, but
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: not not great.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: So right, But you know the thing that you said that,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: uh it's the first time calling in man. Uh and
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: uh you really made a great point about the walking
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: man that that stuff drives me nuts. Dude. It's like,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: I want to watch great baseball and you want to
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: see the guy get up the bat and it's like, dude,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: and and you know, you see four intentional you know,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: four you know, intentional walks. But then really that that
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: last one was just basically throwing the ball in the dirt.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: They want to get to pitch to a tany and
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: you want to see the guy play. So I'm not
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: saying a rule change. Like you said, you don't want
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: to see a rule change, but maybe something could be
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: happening in the.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Post how how else the only way I I don't
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: want to see a rule change. I also, at the
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: same time, I guess I'm too faced on this John
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: because I don't like it. I also want to see
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a tiny hit, Like what's the point of trying to
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: get great players if you can just cut their balls
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: off in the playoffs and they can't? You know, I
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: don't guess It's like you don't do that in any
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: other sport, do you like, in any of the sports
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that we love, you don't just eliminate someone from from
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: beating you. You try to do it, like, you know
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: in football, you try to do it in basketball. But
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to have a rule where you can literally just let
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: them walk to first base and not beat you wild.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: And I know it takes away a little bit from
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: the you know, it takes a little bit away from
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: the sport, you know, And uh, I love baseball and
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm a lifelong Braves fan. And the thing
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: is is like, when you watch the postseason, I just
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: want to see great baseball. I want to see and
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: tonight it's like, dude, after eighteen innings, it's like, I
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: need to smoke a cigarettes.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, I don't know what you were doing.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you were doing during the game.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: But all right, my man, how about that? I was
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: very enjoyable. All right, well listen, thank you, John, you've
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: called you call again. You're actually caller. We're not used
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: to that, so call anytime. Okay, yes, all right, thank
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: you John. There's John from Atlantic Check.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: And would intentional fouls at the end of a basketball
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: game be the closest thing to that.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: Uh well, like a hack a shock? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: but they didn't. They they changed that rule too. They
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: did tweak that in basketball.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I was at when Shaq played the Pacers in the
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals and they those games looked like there was
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: like three hours because they face just kept fouling Shaquille
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: O'Neal in the NBA Finals And uh yeah, that's actually
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: not a bad call. That's about the equivalent. Didn't they
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: put a rule and you can't do it in the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: final couple of minutes, right, isn't there a rule? Yeah? Yeah,
• 32:40

  Speaker 5: He was also a Big twelve referee for basketball.

• 33:44
  Speaker 5: much would the cops throw a game, he said, five
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: hundred and five thousand, without even without any hesitating. It

• 39:44
  Speaker 1: we go. Here we guys, here we go, Here we go,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Come. This is one big gets grilled.
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: During yesterday's show, you said Drake May was not yet
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: a legit MVP contender.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Whoever?
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: Colts quarterback Daniel Jones believes that his running back, Jonathan
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: t Taylor is ben What do you think?
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: No?
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: You downgrade? Taylor's been great. He's a running back, and
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: by default, running backs don't win the MVP. Maholmes is
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: now your favorite to win the MVP. It's going to
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: be a quarterback. It's going to be a quarterback. He'll
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: get some token votes Jonathan Taylor, but not enough to win. Next.
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: MVP is an award that's getting a lot of discussion.
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: But who do you think the front runner? The front
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: runner is for Coach.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Of the Year. Well, you talked about the COLTSKOOPLEUPI. The
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: formula is rather simple. When you have a team that
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be mediocre or suck and they overachieved,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Shane Stike and the coach of the Colts has to
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: be the favorite for Coach of the Year honors at
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: this point, because Daniel Jones I thought was going to
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: be horrific, he's not. He's a top ten quarterback. So
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Shane Styke is going to get the credit next.
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: Kellen Moore decided to bench quarterback Spencer Ratler late in
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: the game on Sunday and go with rookie I don't
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: even know how to pronounce his name, Tyler Shu shuck
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: is pronounced. It's so weird with the hosts of Louisville. Yeah,
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: the hopes of providing a spark, it didn't. But Ben,
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: at this point, is there any reason to go back
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: to Ralgh.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: So it's like deciding whether you want the firing squad
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: of the electric chair. Either way, the outcome is going
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: to be the same. There is no good choice here.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: How did we know.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I passed.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: I
