- 1:30Speaker 1: as we are where sports never sleeps, actually nothing sleeps
- 1:34Speaker 1: here coast to coast, border the border and beyond on
- 1:38Speaker 1: the vast and lavishly powerful microphones of FSR emmating live
- 1:47Speaker 1: from the marathon as we run the all night Malor
- 1:51Speaker 1: Marathon of palk Garanteed Human from the world famous Fox
- 1:58Speaker 1: Sports Radio studios, where Alferd and Malarprop Guy are banging
- 2:03Speaker 1: the drum demanding hot takes legally Blind. Christopher's in the
- 2:07Speaker 1: corner of the room with Reggie from Detroit and they
- 2:10Speaker 1: are a ball of emotion. They're ver klemped and it's
- 2:14Speaker 1: all because of a transaction that took place over the weekend.
- 2:18Speaker 1: You survived another weekend. Congratulations, We are back at it
- 2:21Speaker 1: here in our lead to kick off the brand new
- 2:24Speaker 1: week we go to Mowtown, Mowtown and down and bye bye,
- 2:31Speaker 1: see you later. The Tigers doing a very nice mitzvah
- 2:35Speaker 1: for the Dodgers over the weekend. A tremendous big story.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about this. The Los Angeles Dodgers really suffering
- 2:43Speaker 1: this year, having a bad season, got swept by the
- 2:47Speaker 1: Red Sox at home playing like a Coast League team,
- 2:51Speaker 1: Pacific Coast League team, And so the Dodgers went out
- 2:54Speaker 1: they needed some help. They went out to the Tigers
- 2:56Speaker 1: and said, can we have your two time al sion
- 3:00Speaker 1: a winner? And the Tigers said sure. In fact, don't
- 3:03Speaker 1: even give us that. Anybody really that good. We don't
- 3:05Speaker 1: need anything good. We're the Tigers. And the Dodgers said, okay,
- 3:08Speaker 1: we'll do let's do that. Let's make that happen. And
- 3:10Speaker 1: so it happened, and Trek Scooble goes from the Tigers
- 3:15Speaker 1: to the Dodgers. They say it's a blockbuster trade. However,
- 3:19Speaker 1: the Tigers didn't really get much in return. So how's
- 3:21Speaker 1: it a blockbuster trade? If you didn't see it, perhaps
- 3:25Speaker 1: not the Detroit Tigers. The headline return is an outfielder
- 3:29Speaker 1: name Zai or Hope. You gotta have Hope, You gotta
- 3:33Speaker 1: have Hope. I don't know who the hell that is.
- 3:35Speaker 1: The number five prospect. I love that, And there's nothing
- 3:39Speaker 1: I love more than hot prospect talk. All you nerds,
- 3:42Speaker 1: you love it. You all get turned on by little prospects,
- 3:46Speaker 1: don't you. Yes, So the number five prospect, and they
- 3:50Speaker 1: also got a couple of other players of minor league players,
- 3:53Speaker 1: fringe major league players like River Ryan. That sounds like
- 3:57Speaker 1: a porn name, River Ryan. And he might be better
- 4:01Speaker 1: at that than playing baseball because all he does is
- 4:03Speaker 1: get hurt. River Ryan. So he was included in the
- 4:07Speaker 1: transaction and Scooble instantly sent shock waves around the baseball
- 4:13Speaker 1: world here and he gives the Dodgers one of the
- 4:16Speaker 1: most dominant pitchers in recent years, a front line king
- 4:20Speaker 1: of the hill, a number one starting pitcher as the
- 4:25Speaker 1: Dodgers much like a butterball turkey before Thanksgiving, fatten up
- 4:29Speaker 1: before October, building the roster. And today is our Monday show,
- 4:34Speaker 1: and today happens to be the trade deadline. As tik
- 4:37Speaker 1: tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tick
- 4:40Speaker 1: the clock running down. If anything happens, we are up
- 4:44Speaker 1: all night here with live team coverage, and I'm looking
- 4:48Speaker 1: in our newsroom. I'm looking right down there. They're fast
- 4:50Speaker 1: asleeping there their ghosts. Actually, there's no newsroom here. What
- 4:53Speaker 1: are you talking about? But we will have you covered.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Don't worry. We got you covered all night long here.
- 4:57Speaker 1: If anything happens, we will give it to you before
- 5:01Speaker 1: anyone else here because everyone else is lazy, and so
- 5:04Speaker 1: the only catches Trek Scooble is a pending free agent
- 5:08Speaker 1: at the end of the year. But there won't be
- 5:10Speaker 1: baseball next year, or at least part of the year.
- 5:12Speaker 1: So that's a issue for another day and a good
- 5:16Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question, how do
- 5:20Speaker 1: you grade the Trek Schouble trade from the Tigers to
- 5:27Speaker 1: the Dodgers. So we need to grade all parties involved,
- 5:30Speaker 1: all parties involved. So I've got tax deductible dyson and
- 5:35Speaker 1: congressional subpoena, and we'll combine all of these things together
- 5:41Speaker 1: and we are going to make a bucket of tears.
- 5:45Speaker 1: This has been the greatest couple of days. You idiots,
- 5:49Speaker 1: you're also stupid. I love it. You morons, just keep
- 5:54Speaker 1: Crying's not fair, boo, what a bunch of losers. A
- 6:00Speaker 1: bunch of losers. I love it. It has been hilarious
- 6:03Speaker 1: to watch the reaction. There are so many weak people,
- 6:07Speaker 1: and I hope you're not one of them that just
- 6:09Speaker 1: had this defeatist attitude. It's embarrassing for you, it's embarrassing
- 6:15Speaker 1: for your parents, it's embarrassing if everyone involved. It's embarrassing.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Now ask for the trade Malor report card. Time on
- 6:22Speaker 1: the Tarrek Scooble trade from the Tigers to the Dodgers.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Let's break out the red pen on this one. And
- 6:28Speaker 1: the Malor score card reads the Detroit Tigers. Appropriate enough,
- 6:33Speaker 1: get a D. At least it's an old English D
- 6:36Speaker 1: for the Detroit Tigers, as they weren't gonna pay the man.
- 6:41Speaker 1: They didn't want to pay the man. So if you
- 6:43Speaker 1: don't want to pay the man, you got to get
- 6:45Speaker 1: rid of the man. They refuse to give him a contract.
- 6:49Speaker 1: They would not meet the reserve price at the auction.
- 6:52Speaker 1: The auction house said, well you got to meet the
- 6:53Speaker 1: reserve probably, Well we're not gonna meet the reserve price, okay,
- 6:55Speaker 1: fine scruples being auction Tigers didn't want to pay him,
- 6:59Speaker 1: so see you later. And it was not a trade
- 7:02Speaker 1: per se.
- 7:03Speaker 2: It was.
- 7:03Speaker 1: It really was a donation situation by the Detroit Tigers,
- 7:08Speaker 1: a nice tax deductible donation. You'll thank the Tigers when
- 7:12Speaker 1: they have to fill out taxes and when tax day
- 7:15Speaker 1: comes around here, that tax deduction goes to the Detroit
- 7:19Speaker 1: Tigers Charitable Foundation. So very nice of them. Prospects for
- 7:24Speaker 1: the poor in this case, the pathetic. My goodness. Sure,
- 7:29Speaker 1: so Detroit is only three games back. At the time
- 7:34Speaker 1: they made the move, there were three games back of
- 7:36Speaker 1: the wild card in the American League. But you know
- 7:41Speaker 1: what that means, under five hundred. And when you're under
- 7:45Speaker 1: five hundred, you are a contender. You are a faux contender.
- 7:50Speaker 1: You're a faux contender, is what you are. And as
- 7:54Speaker 1: for the return that the Detroit Tigers got back, the
- 7:59Speaker 1: return every prospect, every single fin prospect that I've heard
- 8:04Speaker 1: about since I was a kid, every one of these
- 8:06Speaker 1: prospects is treated like bitcoin in twenty seventeen, right, all hype,
- 8:12Speaker 1: no reality, and they're all over hyped. A prospect is
- 8:16Speaker 1: a suspect until proven otherwise. And so who cares now, la,
- 8:21Speaker 1: And I'm be listen, I'm not gonna be mister rah
- 8:23Speaker 1: Rod Dodger guy, because they banned me over there, the Dodgers.
- 8:27Speaker 1: They'll get in a plus plus plus on the Mallard scorecard.
- 8:32Speaker 1: That's for those of you in the back of the
- 8:33Speaker 1: room not paying attention, picking you no stop that that's disgusting.
- 8:37Speaker 1: A plus plus plus for the Dodgers. And this is
- 8:41Speaker 1: what the great teams do. The Dodgers of the ultimate
- 8:45Speaker 1: team living in the goldilocks owne right now. You hear
- 8:47Speaker 1: stories about those Yankee teams back in the day and
- 8:50Speaker 1: how they just kept winning, and say, oh man, the
- 8:52Speaker 1: rules are obviously different back in those days. But the
- 8:55Speaker 1: Dodgers right now, they are in the Goldilock zone. Even
- 8:59Speaker 1: their problem have solutions, and they operate kind of like
- 9:03Speaker 1: Amazon operates at this particular point. They don't care what
- 9:06Speaker 1: it costs, it doesn't matter. Just do what you have
- 9:10Speaker 1: to do. And it's nice when you get teams like
- 9:12Speaker 1: the Tigers who are on board and they're like, hey,
- 9:15Speaker 1: we'll help you out. Why not, let's do it. Okay,
- 9:18Speaker 1: sounds good. Detroit, the Ewoks and the Dodgers the Evil Empire, dude, Yeah,
- 9:26Speaker 1: the whole thing. So they just casually added the Dodgers
- 9:30Speaker 1: over the weekend a Thermo nuclear warhead, and they added
- 9:35Speaker 1: that to the inner galactical arms race of the baseball
- 9:39Speaker 1: trade deadline. Here, it's like a side dish in Musso
- 9:42Speaker 1: and Franks. They just added some potatoes, some rice or
- 9:45Speaker 1: something like that there, and the happy days keep on going.
- 9:49Speaker 1: The happy days keep on going for the Dodgers. Now
- 9:52Speaker 1: page two here so the move. Let's talk about the
- 9:55Speaker 1: viscual reaction which is still ongoing. In the middle of
- 10:00Speaker 1: this visceral reaction from the dingle berries that are out there, right,
- 10:05Speaker 1: they absolute dingle berries amongst us here hyperventilating. Oh it's
- 10:10Speaker 1: not right. Oh, my goodness, all I'm never watching baseball again.
- 10:15Speaker 1: It's not fair. My god, get a grip, you freaking morons,
- 10:22Speaker 1: my goodness. All right, So the question what do you
- 10:26Speaker 1: say to the people, and that may be you, what
- 10:31Speaker 1: do you say to the people who claim the Trek
- 10:34Speaker 1: Scooble trade shows that Dodgers have ruined baseball? It's not
- 10:38Speaker 1: right by his baseball's ruin. Yeah, you pearl clutching lunatics.
- 10:45Speaker 1: How do you live your life? Seriously? Right, you're clutching
- 10:50Speaker 1: pearls over a baseball trade. And your team could have
- 10:55Speaker 1: made the trade. I mean Yankee Braves and Brewers or
- 10:58Speaker 1: Phillies any they could have. They made the same exact trade.
- 11:01Speaker 1: You didn't make the trade. You could have, You should have,
- 11:04Speaker 1: you would have. You didn't make the trade. The Dodgers
- 11:08Speaker 1: didn't do this alone. And that's the part. Many of
- 11:11Speaker 1: you are too stupid to understand. The Dodgers did not
- 11:13Speaker 1: do this alone. Okay, this was not done in a
- 11:16Speaker 1: Dison vacuum cleaner.
- 11:18Speaker 3: It was not.
- 11:19Speaker 1: It takes two to tango. Last I checked here, and
- 11:22Speaker 1: so Detroit. They had options. They could have gone and said,
- 11:25Speaker 1: all right, we'll trade school to the Yankees, could have
- 11:28Speaker 1: gone to the Brew Crew. They had bids in the
- 11:31Speaker 1: Phillies if they wanted them, could have gotten them, the
- 11:34Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves and a bunch of other teams that are
- 11:37Speaker 1: in contention. And they made proposals the Tigers unless the
- 11:42Speaker 1: Dodgers put a gun to the head of the front office.
- 11:44Speaker 1: The Tigers said, okay, we'll take the Sloppy Joe's from
- 11:48Speaker 1: La Is. That's what we want. We want to Sloppy Joe's.
- 11:51Speaker 1: And so they were not the Tigers. Last I checked,
- 11:54Speaker 1: They were not brainwashed. They weren't hypnotized by the Doyers.
- 11:59Speaker 1: They said, yes, that's what we want. That is what
- 12:02Speaker 1: we would like. We would like to get the super
- 12:04Speaker 1: villains and help them out. Give them our best player.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Sounds good. Now, the best of us means as good
- 12:10Speaker 1: as all the rest. We know that's not quite true.
- 12:12Speaker 1: So blame the people that actually did it. Blame them,
- 12:15Speaker 1: Blame their asses. Blame the ones that did it. It's
- 12:18Speaker 1: not the Dodgers. It's not the Dodgers. It's the team
- 12:21Speaker 1: that has the old English tea, the Tigers. That's the
- 12:24Speaker 1: team right there. Detroit made a business decision? Is it
- 12:27Speaker 1: a bad business decision? Now, there's a theory that Scooba
- 12:30Speaker 1: wanted to go play for the Dodgers, and so the
- 12:32Speaker 1: Tigers did him a solid. They did him. Hey, you
- 12:35Speaker 1: know a way to go.
- 12:35Speaker 4: We like you.
- 12:36Speaker 1: You helped us out. You want some Saion awards, so
- 12:38Speaker 1: we'll do it good for you and send you out
- 12:40Speaker 1: to LA. But whatever the case, right, bad business is
- 12:45Speaker 1: still business. It's still business. That's the way it is.
- 12:48Speaker 1: So the Tigers gift wrap trek Schouble and you should
- 12:52Speaker 1: be upset. You should be upset if you're a Tiger
- 12:56Speaker 1: fan because you didn't get seemingly much in return. If
- 12:58Speaker 1: you're a fan of another team, then just look at
- 13:01Speaker 1: the gift rapping there and be upset about that if youone.
- 13:04Speaker 1: But I believe it's a net positive. As we've maintained,
- 13:09Speaker 1: baseball needs villains. The Dodgers are the villains, and it's
- 13:13Speaker 1: fricking great. They lead baseball and road to tendants, they
- 13:16Speaker 1: lead baseball and home attendants. Everyone said, I'm never watching
- 13:19Speaker 1: baseball yet because the Dodgers, Well, you're all a bunch
- 13:22Speaker 1: of liars. Because if either that or there's so many
- 13:24Speaker 1: other people that want to watch, you don't matter. You're irrelevant.
- 13:27Speaker 1: You're a grain of sand on the beach. Get out
- 13:30Speaker 1: of here. Because the Dodgers are hot, and that's where
- 13:34Speaker 1: it's at. And the Dodgers go out there, and just
- 13:38Speaker 1: by doing this with every team supplied, it apparently wishes
- 13:41Speaker 1: they could have Terrek Scubel here. The Dodgers become the
- 13:45Speaker 1: quinn essential WWE soiling. You get the heels and the
- 13:51Speaker 1: pretty boys right and the baby faces, and you got
- 13:54Speaker 1: the Dodgers out there, who are the heels. Every great
- 13:56Speaker 1: story needs a heel, and the Dodgers are that. The
- 14:00Speaker 1: villains are the ones that feed the algorithm, and that's
- 14:03Speaker 1: what the Dodgers are in this. And the louder the
- 14:05Speaker 1: booze boom boom boom boom boom boom, the louder the bows,
- 14:10Speaker 1: the bigger the box office, baby, and the bigger the
- 14:13Speaker 1: ratings and all that stuff. And so the fact that
- 14:16Speaker 1: the Dodgers go out there, now this will guarantee you
- 14:18Speaker 1: they go they go out and somehow choke this away.
- 14:21Speaker 1: All right, the primal scream, the absolute primal scream will
- 14:26Speaker 1: will be over the top, right, it will eat listen,
- 14:31Speaker 1: boo hoo hoo. The twenty nine other fan bases complaining, well,
- 14:37Speaker 1: really not twenty nine because there's like fifteen teams in baseball.
- 14:40Speaker 1: They aren't even really trying. How we doing Rockies, uh
- 14:44Speaker 1: A's Angels, teams like that. The yeah, the the primal
- 14:49Speaker 1: scream will happen if the Dodgers don't win, and then
- 14:53Speaker 1: you'll get this or gasmic bliss from everyone. Oh, it's
- 14:57Speaker 1: so great that it's kind of like when the Miami
- 14:59Speaker 1: he lost to the Dallas Mavericks when they had Lebron
- 15:02Speaker 1: and Wade and Bosh and they gagged against the Mavericks
- 15:06Speaker 1: with Dirk Novinski. The joy, the pure joy that so
- 15:10Speaker 1: many people had. That'll be the same baseball version of that.
- 15:15Speaker 1: And so it will be biblical to Dodgers do not win,
- 15:18Speaker 1: And if they win, it's great because everyone will be complaining,
- 15:21Speaker 1: oh did you watch yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, So to
- 15:24Speaker 1: the haters out there, I say, Philly is what I say.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Capito'll pay pholly is what I say. All right now,
- 15:32Speaker 1: last word, So the Internet has decided. The Interweb has
- 15:37Speaker 1: decided that listen twenty twenty six is all over and
- 15:44Speaker 1: turn out the last It's all done with the party.
- 15:49Speaker 1: So it's last I checked. It's early August, it's trade
- 15:53Speaker 1: deadline day in Major League Baseball, and they should just
- 15:57Speaker 1: hand out the piece of metal now and commend with
- 16:00Speaker 1: the workstop it. That's the mindset of these Neanderthals. That's
- 16:04Speaker 1: the mindset right there. Again. They were raised by poor
- 16:08Speaker 1: parents who did not teach them the fighting spirit of competition.
- 16:13Speaker 1: And the bigger they are, the harder they fall, and
- 16:16Speaker 1: how sweet it would be. A team will become legends
- 16:19Speaker 1: immediately if they beat the Dodgers in the playoffs in
- 16:22Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. So here's the other question, and really
- 16:25Speaker 1: the bottom line question. Does adding trek scouble to the
- 16:30Speaker 1: front of the Dodger rotation wrap things up for the
- 16:34Speaker 1: World Series? Now for the Dodgers? Does this wrap things up?
- 16:39Speaker 3: So?
- 16:39Speaker 1: On the way I answer is on a simulation, you're like, oh, yeah, sure,
- 16:42Speaker 1: why not they win? Okay, fine, all that, but you don't. Unfortunately,
- 16:48Speaker 1: you don't win titles by winning the transaction. Unfortunately, I
- 16:52Speaker 1: know this is you might be dazed and confused by this,
- 16:54Speaker 1: but you actually still have to play the games. And
- 16:56Speaker 1: Scooble could go out his first start as a Dodger
- 16:59Speaker 1: and have snap crackle pop and be done for the season.
- 17:04Speaker 1: You know, these pitchers are fragile, and scoop ball was
- 17:07Speaker 1: already hurt earlier this year for the Tigers. There's no
- 17:09Speaker 1: guarantee even plays the whole way for the Tigers, for
- 17:12Speaker 1: the Dodgers coming over from the Tigers. So that there's
- 17:15Speaker 1: the injury factor and the fact that baseball continues to
- 17:19Speaker 1: be a weak link sport, even the big bad Blue crew.
- 17:24Speaker 1: They needed a home run from a guy that sucks
- 17:27Speaker 1: in Miguel Rojas against Toronto. He blows. Not a very
- 17:30Speaker 1: good baseball player, but he a big home run. And
- 17:33Speaker 1: that is the baseball at his essence is it's a
- 17:37Speaker 1: weak link sport. You need a stiff like like Miguel
- 17:40Speaker 1: Rojas to hit home run, just like the you know,
- 17:44Speaker 1: as much as Otani and those guys, you need Rojas.
- 17:47Speaker 1: And that's the way it works. And so scoopl he
- 17:49Speaker 1: doesn't guarantee anything. Does it look better, Sure, it looks
- 17:52Speaker 1: but you look at your tablet, you're like, man, that's great.
- 17:55Speaker 1: My eyeballs are popping out of my head. That's really cool.
- 17:58Speaker 1: And all that. It makes it hard, harder to screw
- 18:00Speaker 1: things up when you have Schooble in your rotation. Again,
- 18:04Speaker 1: it doesn't guarantee Diddley squat, you know, Diddley squad. And
- 18:10Speaker 1: that's it. And we will address the ka kapy bara,
- 18:13Speaker 1: the kappy bar in the room here when you talk
- 18:15Speaker 1: about this, and and the people that say, well, the
- 18:18Speaker 1: Dodgers didn't really need Scooble, this is a luxury add on,
- 18:21Speaker 1: They didn't really need him and all that stuff, Well
- 18:25Speaker 1: to that, my rebuttal is counsel. My rebuttal is you
- 18:29Speaker 1: don't know ball. Because all the wins the Dodgers got,
- 18:32Speaker 1: they got their ass kicked by the Red Sox this weekend.
- 18:33Speaker 1: But all the wins the Dodgers are put up, all
- 18:36Speaker 1: of them scoople. Not a luxury, a necessity, not a
- 18:42Speaker 1: bear necessity, but a necessity. And here's why. If you
- 18:46Speaker 1: look behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto and that Dodger rotation, it is
- 18:50Speaker 1: a house of cards. Shoe Altani is damaged goods on
- 18:54Speaker 1: the mound. Blake'snow, don't get me started on blazon. Bro.
- 18:58Speaker 1: I ain't pitching unless I get mine bra. I'm risking
- 19:01Speaker 1: my life, bro. Yeah, Blake Snell, that schmuck, king of
- 19:05Speaker 1: all schmucks. Blake Snell and Tyler Glass. Now who's not
- 19:09Speaker 1: as annoying? But they're they're mono a modo, these two.
- 19:12Speaker 1: I can't say what I want to say. Malingering, malingering
- 19:17Speaker 1: Tyler Snell and Tyler Glass. Now they got paid and
- 19:21Speaker 1: the Dodgers got played. Who could have told them to
- 19:23Speaker 1: stay away? Especially from Blake Snell. My god, these guys
- 19:27Speaker 1: are basically twitch streamers and occasionally pitch, and very infrequently
- 19:34Speaker 1: do they pitch, these two guys. So, now with Yamamoto
- 19:37Speaker 1: at the top and you've got schooball the Dodgers have
- 19:40Speaker 1: that lethal one to two punch going into a playoff situation,
- 19:44Speaker 1: a two man congressional subpoena, if you will, for the Dodgers.
- 19:50Speaker 1: And they haven't clinched anything.
- 19:52Speaker 5: We know that, and.
- 19:55Speaker 1: The only thing, I guess, the only thing they've really
- 19:57Speaker 1: wrapped up is more talk radio segments. They'll be a
- 20:00Speaker 1: lot of talk radio segments and a lot of trending
- 20:02Speaker 1: topics on social media, and that's it. And now they
- 20:06Speaker 1: have to go out there and not ride the vomit
- 20:08Speaker 1: comet and win the third one, and then next time
- 20:12Speaker 1: they play in a couple of years, whenever they can
- 20:14Speaker 1: win a fourth in a row. We'll take your thoughts
- 20:17Speaker 1: on that. Are you enjoying as much as I am?
- 20:19Speaker 1: All the losers who don't have that fighting spirit? I
- 20:22Speaker 1: think it's hilarious. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox

- 23:23Speaker 1: you in the court of sports radio. So there you go.
- 23:28Speaker 1: Doc Dan writes in says road attendance is a meaningless
- 23:32Speaker 1: stat why the Athletics are one of the top teams
- 23:34Speaker 1: for road attendants and they are poop plenty of examples. Well,
- 23:38Speaker 1: the difference, Doc Dan, is when the a's play on
- 23:40Speaker 1: the road. It's bobblehead night, It's a replica baseball bat
- 23:45Speaker 1: batting helmet night, because nobody wants to see the Athletics
- 23:48Speaker 1: the Dodgers when they're on the road. They're not giving
- 23:50Speaker 1: crap away. And the Dodgers visit the city and they're
- 23:53Speaker 1: packing the house, no freebies. Mark the full name guy
- 23:56Speaker 1: who needs needs people in white coachs to come help
- 23:59Speaker 1: him because he's not dealing with it very well. Mark,
- 24:02Speaker 1: says Mahler, calling baseball fans morons who do not appreciate
- 24:06Speaker 1: the Trek Scooble trade, insisting there was an open market
- 24:10Speaker 1: and fair bidding. So Mark, if you have information that
- 24:14Speaker 1: there was collusion, I would love to see it. That
- 24:16Speaker 1: would be great. That would be a really good story.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Let us know.
- 24:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:21Speaker 1: King Rory writes in from Wisconsin, says everyone wants to
- 24:24Speaker 1: put blame on either the Doyers or the Tigers for
- 24:27Speaker 1: the Schoobol trade and supposedly ruining baseball, but not me.
- 24:31Speaker 1: I blame the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners beating the Dodgers
- 24:35Speaker 1: with the straw that broke the camel's back. That is
- 24:38Speaker 1: why the trade happened. Huh oh, yes, so yeah, that
- 24:41Speaker 1: one game win. They lost the series, but they won
- 24:44Speaker 1: the one game. That's clearly why this happened. Obviously, why
- 24:48Speaker 1: this happened, without a doubt. What else do we have?
- 24:51Speaker 1: Michael from Tulsa Rights, and he says he plus on
- 24:54Speaker 1: the opening mouth the monologue, I could not care less
- 24:57Speaker 1: about baseball, but I really wish people could understand being
- 25:00Speaker 1: able to criticize their own team, like you mentioned on
- 25:02Speaker 1: the fifth hour over the weekend, enough with the assumptions
- 25:06Speaker 1: and overreactions. Well yeah, and again, as we pointed out, Michael,
- 25:10Speaker 1: it's good for business the low information fan. If fans
- 25:14Speaker 1: actually acted with the brain, I'd be out of business,
- 25:16Speaker 1: you know, if they actually became smart, like those knuckle
- 25:20Speaker 1: Dragon Raider fans and the Sixer fanboys who spent twenty
- 25:23Speaker 1: years ripping Lebron James. The moment he puts on their laundry,
- 25:27Speaker 1: all of a sudden they got their knee pads on.
- 25:29Speaker 1: They're giving the Lebron the Hawk Tour, which is fascinating
- 25:32Speaker 1: to me. I guess it shouldn't be, but it happens
- 25:34Speaker 1: all the time. There you go, analog, You gotta give
- 25:37Speaker 1: him that.
- 25:37Speaker 5: Howk dude, and on that.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Night, Yeah, exactly what else do we have? Antalog Al
- 25:43Speaker 1: says the Dodgers need help only a few games over
- 25:46Speaker 1: five hundred against contending teams. Clearly you'd all help them
- 25:49Speaker 1: get super market. Seve writes in from Sokel. He's a
- 25:52Speaker 1: Yankee fan, though, he says, to all these people claiming
- 25:54Speaker 1: that they're going to leave baseball because of the trade
- 25:58Speaker 1: of the Dodgers, my guy Curly Bill said to Wyatt
- 26:03Speaker 1: in Tombstone, Well, by I get out of here. Fat
- 26:07Speaker 1: Daddy writes in He says, the Dodgers might be renting
- 26:10Speaker 1: one of the top pitchers in baseball from Detroit. The
- 26:13Speaker 1: Dave Roberts is going to baby him and he's not
- 26:18Speaker 1: going to go more than six innings. Well, that's exactly correct.
- 26:21Speaker 1: See that's the other thing about this in theory, in
- 26:23Speaker 1: the olden days, having trek Scuobel on the mound like
- 26:26Speaker 1: a great starting pitcher, like the schoolbl's supposed to be.
- 26:31Speaker 1: That's a seven eight inning pitcher. Seven eight inning pitcher.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Now that's five and a third, maybe six innings if
- 26:40Speaker 1: you're really lucky, and then if you go six innings
- 26:42Speaker 1: as a starting pitcher in modern baseball. They want to
- 26:46Speaker 1: praise you like you've just solved cancer. If you go
- 26:50Speaker 1: six innings in a game. Oh, I can't believe it.
- 26:53Speaker 1: It's absolutely amazing. It's a stutterer, that absolute stunner. Ya
- 27:00Speaker 1: Femi from Chicago rights and says, hey, Maler, of course,
- 27:02Speaker 1: the Doyers get first DIBs at the trade deadline, waiting
- 27:06Speaker 1: until there is a salarycap. Well, good luck on that.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Good luck on that, curmudgeon, Wayne writes in And he
- 27:15Speaker 1: had said earlier, I guarantee Malor was going to have
- 27:18Speaker 1: that rundown up early. He's so giddy about the schoopl trade. No, no,
- 27:22Speaker 1: I waited because I wanted those Mallard plus subscribers, Curmudge
- 27:24Speaker 1: and Wayne to know what's going on. And since you're
- 27:27Speaker 1: such a tight wad, you don't deserve to know what's
- 27:29Speaker 1: going on. So I made sure to wait on that,
- 27:32Speaker 1: made sure to wait on that. Ae thousand percent, one
- 27:35Speaker 1: thousand percent, We wi a little more time. Exactly. There
- 27:40Speaker 1: you go. A Sports Plus who's got his crying towel on,
- 27:42Speaker 1: he's got his diaper, says before baseball strikes, the strike ends,
- 27:47Speaker 1: the major change will be revenue sharing. Updates like the NFL.
- 27:51Speaker 1: The NFL is a massive revenue sharing system, distributing equal
- 27:55Speaker 1: slices of media deals, league sponsorships, and ticket revenue to
- 28:00Speaker 1: thirty two teams. Uh yeah, yeah, good luck, good luck
- 28:06Speaker 1: on that. I'm sure that the owners will open up
- 28:09Speaker 1: the books and let the players see everything, everything going on.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Robert of a bus driver, says a plus plus plus
- 28:17Speaker 1: on his Mexican Doppler two thousand radar. He says, the
- 28:19Speaker 1: Mallard monologue says, no need for me to call the
- 28:23Speaker 1: Brewers or Rays could have given better suspects than the Doyers,
- 28:28Speaker 1: but we got to swept. So no other fan base
- 28:31Speaker 1: has it worse than us. Right now, back to back
- 28:33Speaker 1: to back to back to back to back to back
- 28:35Speaker 1: to back to back to back to back, back to
- 28:37Speaker 1: back to back. Then doubler don't work. Now it's working good.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Your Dob is worried. If you want to send it
- 28:42Speaker 1: coming in, send it care of at Ben Mahler on x.
- 28:47Speaker 1: That's at Ben Mahler on X. Le's go to the
- 28:49Speaker 1: far mentioned something kind of weird. Yes, coople who would
- 28:51Speaker 1: like to shie in, Yes, justin Cooper, So.
- 28:54Speaker 6: You know basically what I you know, what I took
- 28:56Speaker 6: away from monologues, you're clowning on people that are complaining
- 28:58Speaker 6: about the Dodgers.
- 29:00Speaker 1: You know, yeah, go beat them getting all the big.
- 29:02Speaker 6: Names and that not yes, uh but isn't that But
- 29:06Speaker 6: then aren't you one of those people when it comes
- 29:09Speaker 6: to the Lakers.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Was that I love when the Lakers lose. It's great. No, no, no,
- 29:13Speaker 1: you're the one I like.
- 29:15Speaker 6: I've heard you be like, oh, you know, of course
- 29:17Speaker 6: the big names are gonna go to the Lakers.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Everybody Lakers. The difference is and you know that Luca
- 29:22Speaker 1: trade was bull crap, and uh, that was different. That
- 29:26Speaker 1: was obviously different. Why that was obviously different? Why because
- 29:29Speaker 1: he wasn't a pending free agent or anything like that.
- 29:32Speaker 1: The Lakers gave up nothing to get him. It was
- 29:34Speaker 1: a different situation in.
- 29:35Speaker 6: Your monologue that the that the Tigers gave up buff Kiss,
- 29:39Speaker 6: the Tigers gave up two times.
- 29:43Speaker 1: The Dodgers gave up nothing. Well, yes, I don't. I
- 29:46Speaker 1: don't care about any minor league players. Who I never
- 29:48Speaker 1: care about minor league players. Who cares about that? The
- 29:50Speaker 1: Lakers traded a guy who's humpty dumpty. They did the humpty,
- 29:53Speaker 1: they got rid of Anthony Davis. The guy's a mouth,
- 29:57Speaker 1: he's a malcontent. He always hurt. That's who he gave it.
- 30:01Speaker 1: He's exactly he's broken. So that's that anyway, eight seven,
- 30:05Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox. Let's go to the phones
- 30:07Speaker 1: and we'll start out with the eenie meenie miney mo.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Let's go to Dan, who's in Boston. Hello Dan, Welcome,
- 30:13Speaker 1: You're on the Fox Sports Radio Ben Maler Show. Hello Dan,
- 30:16Speaker 1: we're going all right, what's up Dan talking?
- 30:18Speaker 2: I had so listen, I had two points and then
- 30:20Speaker 2: all of a sudden he came back from the break
- 30:22Speaker 2: and you played tool. I gotta give you props to
- 30:24Speaker 2: that man. That is a clutch.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Thank you. You know I'm in charge. I'm in charge
- 30:29Speaker 1: of all the music. As you know, I've got all
- 30:31Speaker 1: these other people. Just do what I tell them.
- 30:33Speaker 5: Now.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I don't just say Lorrain to play whatever the hell.
- 30:35Speaker 5: You want credit for that?
- 30:36Speaker 2: The Yeah, if I got to give you credit, then
- 30:38Speaker 2: I give you credit.
- 30:38Speaker 1: That's right. I want all the credit. None to Loraina,
- 30:41Speaker 1: none to her.
- 30:42Speaker 2: All right, So two quick points man, So I am
- 30:44Speaker 2: from Boston.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Okay, congratulations.
- 30:46Speaker 2: I want to talk about the school trade. Okay, I'm
- 30:48Speaker 2: very indifferent about it. Number One, good on the Dodgers.
- 30:51Speaker 2: All right, they traded for somebody that they didn't necessarily need.
- 30:55Speaker 2: But if you look at what they gave up, they
- 30:56Speaker 2: give up four prospects. I don't think any of them
- 30:58Speaker 2: were in the top one hundred. I blame everybody else
- 31:02Speaker 2: that is competing with the Dodgers in the NL, like
- 31:05Speaker 2: the Brewers, who have the best farm system in the league.
- 31:07Speaker 2: They didn't pony up for somebody like schoobl So maybe
- 31:10Speaker 2: that was the Tigers giving them a gift. I don't know.
- 31:12Speaker 2: But you know what, good on the Dodgers that being said,
- 31:15Speaker 2: they just got their face wiped by the Red Sox. Okay,
- 31:19Speaker 2: the Red Sox that had a historic July. They just
- 31:22Speaker 2: they just basically wiped the floor with the best team
- 31:25Speaker 2: in the league. And the Red Sox now are sitting
- 31:27Speaker 2: on their hands with one of the best prospects in
- 31:29Speaker 2: the league with Franklinarius, and they're basically not including him
- 31:34Speaker 2: in any trade talks. While the Raids are getting better,
- 31:37Speaker 2: the Yankees are getting better, and you know Dala Cruise
- 31:40Speaker 2: is off the table. Now, you know we need Goodman
- 31:44Speaker 2: a catcher. Abrams from the Nationals. We can go get
- 31:47Speaker 2: but we don't want to put Arias in a trade.
- 31:49Speaker 2: And you just said it a second ago. Don't put
- 31:52Speaker 2: stock in prospects because there's no guarantee that they're going
- 31:55Speaker 2: to pan out. Get the proven player.
- 31:57Speaker 1: Yes, you're on hot streak, go win. Absolutely, I would
- 32:01Speaker 1: be irate. I'm sure you know your local guys do
- 32:04Speaker 1: sports talk on the station. There will be irate all day.
- 32:07Speaker 1: If the Red Sox do not make a trade. They
- 32:09Speaker 1: should and you know what they're gonna do here, Dan,
- 32:12Speaker 1: They're gonna fall on that crutch. Well, we don't want
- 32:15Speaker 1: to mess with the chemistry that the team has right now,
- 32:19Speaker 1: and that's gonna be their excuse if they don't make
- 32:21Speaker 1: a trade. They can say, well, we were winning a
- 32:22Speaker 1: lot of games. It doesn't matter. You know, there is
- 32:25Speaker 1: no such thing as momentum because once the playoffs start,
- 32:28Speaker 1: that all goes out the window. So who cares about
- 32:29Speaker 1: that and go out and get an I would make
- 32:33Speaker 1: a move for a shortstop, that would be what I
- 32:35Speaker 1: would do. But do whatever, but make a move, do something.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Don't just sit there on your hands and say, well,
- 32:41Speaker 1: we've been playing well, so we're just gonna keep playing well, no,
- 32:43Speaker 1: because the morale you know how this works, Dan, The
- 32:45Speaker 1: morale goes in the toilet when you end up not
- 32:50Speaker 1: picking up a player. And all these other teams made
- 32:52Speaker 1: moves and you didn't make moves. It's like the front
- 32:54Speaker 1: office did not believe in the team to bring in reinforcements.
- 32:57Speaker 1: So there it is, all right, Da, thank you. It's
- 33:00Speaker 1: not hot baseball call. But I would push back on
- 33:03Speaker 1: the couple of things you said, the Dodgers that they
- 33:05Speaker 1: don't need school. Well, as I pointed out, they got Yamamoto,
- 33:08Speaker 1: who I trust in a playoff game because of what
- 33:10Speaker 1: he did last year, and that's it. Otani's damaged, he
- 33:14Speaker 1: might never pitch great again. He's hurt, damage goods. And
- 33:19Speaker 1: you got a couple of total zeros, total guys. It
- 33:24Speaker 1: should be brought up on charges for what they've done.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Blake Snell and Tyler Glass now total frauds. Okay, total frauds.
- 33:30Speaker 1: Those two guys and the other pitchers they've had, some
- 33:32Speaker 1: of them had good years. I don't trust them, so
- 33:35Speaker 1: you need you do need Scoop. It's not a case
- 33:38Speaker 1: you don't you do need him as co ases in
- 33:41Speaker 1: one A one B at the top of the rotation,
- 33:44Speaker 1: and I could do a whole rant, and maybe I
- 33:45Speaker 1: will this week if you want. I can rant about
- 33:49Speaker 1: the MLB pipeline. And it's it's not some neutral scouting bible,
- 33:54Speaker 1: which some of you idiots think. It's kind of like
- 33:56Speaker 1: a farmer in Iowa send I love my crop of
- 34:00Speaker 1: I don't. This is the greatest crop of corn I've
- 34:03Speaker 1: ever had. I don't want to give it up. Well,
- 34:05Speaker 1: guess what the next season, next time it's time to
- 34:09Speaker 1: put corn in the ground, you'll have another crop of corn.
- 34:12Speaker 1: So it's it's the MLB runs this pipeline thing to inflate.
- 34:17Speaker 1: It's marketing. It's marketing disguised as analysis, the MLB pipeline,
- 34:22Speaker 1: So don't get me started on it. Say hello, do
- 34:24Speaker 1: I wondered what happened to this human being? America's favorite
- 34:28Speaker 1: drag queen caller from New York, New York, New York.
- 34:31Speaker 1: We say hello to my friend for Lexus. It sounds
- 34:35Speaker 1: like on a bad phone line, Hello Flexus, welcome America's.
- 34:39Speaker 5: Oh man, how are you?
- 34:41Speaker 1: America's favorite drag queen caller and the original drag queen
- 34:44Speaker 1: caller before it was cool to be a drag queen. Hello,
- 34:47Speaker 1: f Lexus, that's right.
- 34:50Speaker 5: I was cool before a roof off, even bus shoots out,
- 34:54Speaker 5: I'll be I am number one when it comes to
- 34:59Speaker 5: Fox Sports Brady, right, queen?
- 35:02Speaker 1: Ever, Yes, you're the og. You're og, and you could
- 35:06Speaker 1: body slam Mark the full name guy.
- 35:09Speaker 5: Oh I love to have his body?
- 35:11Speaker 1: You would like? No, I don't think you want Mark
- 35:13Speaker 1: the full name Guy's body. He's not doing well either.
- 35:16Speaker 1: He's got some issues there.
- 35:18Speaker 5: Oh, he's got more issues he's got. I'm not gonna
- 35:21Speaker 5: say what he's got. It wouldn't be Christian whine mister anyway. Yes, yes,
- 35:31Speaker 5: muffle bills. I don't know about this manager and Buffalo Bills.
- 35:36Speaker 5: He's like a fake oil salesman.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Let me, let me let me translate here. This is now.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Flexis lives in New York Rochester, actually here in Buffalo,
- 35:47Speaker 1: ish here in Buffalo. So loves the bills and you're
- 35:50Speaker 1: a little concerned about the new coach there in Buffalo.
- 35:54Speaker 1: You think Joe Brady's a con artist? Is that what
- 35:56Speaker 1: you think?
