Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our numbber, one of the
original recipe Ben Mathers Show podcast. Here in our number one,
it's all about the National League side of the bracket,
the NLDS Baseball Playoffs, Dodgers and Podres. It was all
(00:20):
la the Big Blue Wrecking Crew. Can you explain what
went wrong for the Podres in this game? It will
be a decisive game five. Also, since the Dodgers won
and they used a gaggle of relief pitchers, have I
changed my position on bullpen games in the playoffs? Will
discuss that. Also, Phillies have been eliminated by the Mets.
(00:41):
Who gets the blame cheese steak for Philly being kicked
out of the baseball playoffs? We'll get to all that
and more right now here. It is our number one.
Now that is more like it.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
The Big Blue Wrecking Crew showing up. Well, come in
not beginning of another night of the Ben Malors Show.
We are in the air, amywares, we rub elbows and
fight bad breath coast the coast, port, on the border
and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
On the mast and satisfyingly powerful microphones of fs are
a modinating live from the zone. The strike zone of
the overnight. We're broadcasting live from the tyreq dot com studios.
Tyrect dot com will help you get there and unmatch selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand
(01:41):
recommended in stars tyreq dot com. The way tire buying
should be. I know og artpuffin, big fan of that
number ten thousand, So lead this hour. Don't bear the lead,
mom man, Well, we haven't given the lead yet. It's
from Sundayego. Oh yes. On top of the world one
day and at the very bottom the next. That was
(02:01):
the scene for Game four of the National League Divisional Series.
I'm told that the Padre fan base loves birds. They
love giving birds out. Well the Dodgers, the Dodgers last supper.
If they didn't win, that was be a turnout the lights.
The party's over. The Padres had a chance to advance
(02:22):
to the league Championship Series now earlier in the day.
We'll get to this later, but the New York Metropolitans
punched their ticket as they exterminated the fight in Phillies,
who didn't have much fight as it turns out, despite
the Moniker. So the Mets are into the league Championship Series.
Padres could have joined them. Things early on looking bleak
for the Dodgers, Freddie Freeman scratched from the lineup with
(02:44):
his bum ankle, Dave Roberts then going with the aforementioned
bullpen game. We talked about that in a previous episode
of the show. So I don't even watch it or
not not gonna lie. There wasn't much to watch. One
team showed up, one team didn't show up. The good
guys want the bad guy's loss. That's kind of how
it went, right. Mookie Betts another home run, Nice of
(03:04):
Mookie after taking a couple of years off to return
to postseason glory. But Mookie Bets hit a home run.
He had shoe hail Tania Ribby single. The Dodgers. They
didn't just win, they vaporized. They vaporized Dylan season, a
gaggle of relievers Dodgers eight San Diego Zippo in Game
(03:25):
five of the Divisional series, so also home runs Will
Smith Gavin Lux each hit to run homers for the
bums who did not play like bums on this night.
So the Dodgers staff a two game losing streak. Now
they return home and it's on like Donkey Kong Friday Friday.
(03:46):
Friday Friday. That's the by the way, the largest shutout
win in Dodger postseason history with a bloody bullpen game.
How pathetic is that? All right? So let us discuss
now the better story is in the loser's locker room,
and that would be San Diego's locker room, because they lost,
and they lost in epic fashion ate nothing good evening
(04:12):
and good night, the whole thing. All right, So the
question for the esteem panel, can you explain what went
wrong in this performance? For the Padres? What went wrong?
Can you explain what happened there? So I've got big
top cabaret and pot luck dinner and we will mix
all of these things together and we will spit out
(04:36):
a Mallard monologue is what we're going to do. So
a they got all the dance moves, but on this
night they forgot. It's like going to Broadway to see
a musical and then they forget how to dance. That's
what the Padres did. They were not dancing out there.
And if my math is correct, that's now fifteen innings
with nothing on the board for the Padres. Hang a
(05:00):
star on that one. The pod squad fifteen innings of
baseball last fifteen no runch, Dodgers of outscored them twelve
to nothing in this stretch. And it starts at the top.
You got Fernando to tease Junior, the steroid cheat Manny Machado,
and they lead the San Diego circus right and the
(05:22):
big Top. If you look under the Big Top for
the Padres, it continues to be filled with unicorns and
show ponies. That's what the Podres are, right, their front runners.
This game is a great example of that. They fell behind.
They didn't have any fight. They rolled over and played
dead because that's what show ponies do. That's how they
do it, Padres. And there were no cart wheels. Did
(05:44):
you see? I didn't see any cart wheels, any somersault,
no belly bumping, none of that was going on. Padres
had nine at bats with runners in scoring position, made
as many hits as you had, and I had the
same number as we had. They had. Now Fernando to
tease June the strutton star there. I guess you forgot
all those chest puffs and the pelvic thrust and the
(06:06):
arrogance struts and all that, and none of that happened.
I didn't see any of that on the field. Now,
in two games, eighteen innings of baseball, the Padres scored
in one inning in their own ballpark. How pathetics is that.
I'd be so embarrassed if I like the Potters, I mean, like,
oh my god, it's so embarrassing. My god, they passed
(06:28):
out those little yellow towels and they they couldn't do anything.
All right now, page two, Several of you sent me
emails during this game as the game was evolving. So
then you go change your position though, all right, so
let me address the he of a monster in the room.
All right, since the Dodgers won this game eight to nothing,
have I changed my position on bullpen games? The answer,
(06:54):
I got two letters for you, N and oh that's
two letters N plus zero equals no. I still despise them.
They are the blemish on the baseball landscape. There are others,
but that is the one we're talking about right now.
And it's not They're not big league, they're not actually
Bush league. You know what they are Cactus League. Back
(07:17):
in the old days when I covered spring training, that's
that's a Cactus League game. You're playing a playoff game,
like it's a Cactus League game. It's unbecoming. It's something
that should only be done in spring training. And you
get your work in. You go golfing by your the
starting pitcher is you pitch one inning and then by
(07:39):
the bottom of the second you're on the tee. That's
usually how that works. But it's a cabaret. Think of
this like a cabaret. You're at the cabaret and you
want the dinner and the show. Well, the dinner is
milk toast. That's the dinner, and the show is watching
(07:59):
paint dry. I don't know anyone that thinks that's entertaining.
I've never mete it. Oh, I love bring in another reliever.
I'm so horny. Who nobody's like that, right, nobody wants that.
It's insane. But yet this is again the nerd influence
in sports. And it's like, well the numbers. It works
(08:23):
great until one of the guys had a bad breakfast
and vomits all over the mound. Then suddenly it doesn't
work anymore. But we'll forget about the days that happens
and remember days like this when it goes the other way.
But I would like to when I become the Commissioner
of Baseball, make starters matter, make them great again, and
stop all this nerd dogma about bullpen games and all this.
(08:47):
Even though it worked, it doesn't mean I like it now,
you Darvish, You darbish, You darbish is gonna pitch with
the Podres on Friday in the elimination game. And Dave Roberts,
when if I saw this directly, he said, to be
determined and have been assumed the Dodgers were going to
start their three hundred plus million dollars starting pitcher. But
(09:08):
apparently they're not so sure about that. But who has
the edge? You got, you, Darvish, who's been dominating the
Dodgers of late versus I don't know, question Mark. Uh
So the Dodgers. I give the edge of the Dodgers
because they have the better roster, and the Padre players
(09:29):
will end up inevitably getting into some kind of rhubarb
with the Dodger fan base and they'll be distracted and
all that. But now the key denominator here is that
Mookie Betts has started to perform. He hadn't done that
for a couple of years, and so now that they
got Mookie going and you put him with Otani at
(09:49):
the top, and you got a little Rasthmataz back in
that Dodger lineup. But Dave Roberts saying to the media
following the game that was played a few hours ago,
here the Dodgers have some options. What are those options?
They include another bullpen game. That's just what I want
to see, because that'll be the bullpen game that one
or two of the guys goes out there and has
(10:10):
die die diarrhea on the mound and then you lose. Yeah,
what is this even up in the air? That tells
you if the Dodgers don't start Yamamoto, that tells you
this is a disastrous deal. They don't trust the guy.
You pay a guy three hundred and twenty five million,
you take him from Japan. You can't pitch him in
(10:33):
an elimination game in your own ballpark. You don't trust
the guy. You gotta pitch him, and he's got to
go out there and have the big ball, dance out
on the mound and get it done. I hear it. Oh,
you can't pitch him if you're afraid they came up
with that bull crap. Excuse the other well, he was
tipping his pitches my entire life. Anytime a pitcher that's
(10:54):
got a big contract or some kind of name value anytime,
never just bad. It's always well, it was topping those
pitchers or this, that or the thing. Stop all right, now,
the last word here, We do not want to dismiss
the National League other half of the bracket, as that
has come to an end in the divisional round in Queens,
(11:17):
and you can flush away a team from Philadelphia as
Francisco Lindor blasted a game changing grand Salami, and that
was in the sixth inning as the Mets said bye bye.
They said bye bye to the Phillies four to one.
(11:38):
They win in four games. New York's other baseball team,
the one not as popular as the Yankees, advance, is
now to the league Championship Series where they await the
Dodgers or the Padres. And the Mets were so pathetic
this year. It doesn't matter who wins. The Mets will
be the road team. It'll start in either La or
San Diego coming up this weekend. But the story here
(12:01):
has a lot to discuss. But the better story, as always,
is in the losing locker room. So that is where
we are going to begin. Who gets the blame cheese steak?
Who gets the blame cheese steak for the Phillies being
eliminated from the National League Divisional Series. So this is
not just a cheese steak. Okay, this is a potluck dinner,
(12:25):
is what this is. And you got the potato salad
over here. Who nobody wants potato salad? You get that
over there. You got some moldy mac and cheese over there.
That's what you got, right. We'll start with the offense.
You've heard a feast or famine? How about famine? Despite
all the aura and all the beards in the bravado
of the Phillies, they batted one eighty six in the
(12:49):
National League Divisional Series. Let me repeat that for those
of you in the back of the room, one eighty
six for the Philadelphia Phillies, who scored two runs before
the sixth inning in the entire series four games, only
two runs prior to the sixth inning. Two runs in
twenty innings of baseball. Now, I didn't play in the
big leagues, but I think that sucks by just do
(13:11):
an overnight show. So maybe not. J t Ria Muto
was hitless. I don't think that's good. In the entire series,
he did not have a hit. Alex bomb was benched
because he bombed out there. He was benched in Game
two at thirteen at bats, went one for thirteen for
the Phillies. How about the six through nine hitters collectively
(13:31):
for the Fight and Phills in this series? They had
fifty two at bats, they had four hits. That's highway
seventy seven for the Philadelphia Phillies. But the biggest cause
of defeat of them all the snake bit bullpen of
the Philadelphia Phillies. The gas cans were out Philly relieves.
(13:52):
I still can't believe the numbers on this. The Philadelphia
bullpen in twelve and two thirds innings allowed seventeen runs
earn runs for an earn run average of eleven point
three in a playoff series eleven point three. They had
thirty eight outs and allowed twenty eight base runners the Phillies.
(14:14):
You know what, that is deplorable. That's absolutely deplorable. And
now Dave Dombrowski, who decided to not go out and
fatten up the bullpen when he had the opportunity, now
he can do some demo on the bullpen get rid
of some of those guys that aren't performing in the lineup,
and the Phillies will be back at it again. But
they were the top team in baseball the first couple
months of the year, but that then they faded away
(14:36):
as the season went on. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
If you'd like to be part, you can join us

at Eddie on Fox. Nothing at olive from the tire
rack dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller.
What were you looking for, Eddie? She usually Loreno usually
plays a funny little drop after I.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
You just tossed Loraina under the Fox Sports radio? Is
what you do scrambling? Really? I saw her.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
She was singing the song, is what I saw. She
was singing the song, and she was preoccupied with ringing
the bell.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Got to ring the bell, like to thank iHeart. My
computer is being updated right now, so thank you appreciate that.
God forbid. Colin Cowherd has to deal with that, or
Dan Patrick, but make sure work update good news. I'd
like to learn all your phillies down the line thirty
percent complete. It says I cannot turn the computer. Officays
do not turn your computer off. So I thank them
(16:33):
for that. They wanted to make sure that I have
the hardest path, very difficult to do talk radio the road.
Let's travel, Ben, Yeah, thank thank you for that. Absolutely
absolutely super. Marcus Steve says, how come you don't do
the Thursday night game for Benny versus the Penny anymore?
Is it because that is now proprietary rights belonging to NBC.
(16:55):
I would think it would be funny to receive a
cease and assist letter for your from yourself. Well, we
don't do the Thursday night game on the TV show,
but I do pick the I pick all the games
with the TV show, so at the end of the year,
those picks are included. So it's all part of that
and that's that's the way it works. Late Night Truccester says,
glad to hear the Dodgers one. That means you will
(17:17):
have a positive attitude to watch the season opener of
the La Kings. I hope there is no press box
ban there. Uh well, no, The Kings are on the
road for for a while. I haven't been to a
Kings gaming in a good amount of time. Maybe I'll
go out there and check it out. I've been out
in a while. When they come back back home there
(17:38):
understanding they're renovating the arena, they're on skid roll that
they play and they and the Lakers, they wonderful. Let's
get row place with toilets and a terrible arena.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Love.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
If you want to get shanked, it's a great place
to go. Your car broke it into. My car's been
broken into down there before.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
You parked seven miles away, so you couldn't. You don't
have to pay for parking. It's part of the problem.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
So you're saying, you're admitting it's not safe there unless
you pay and absorb. They gouge these sands with parking
in a major city, which is you're admitting. You're saying
I'm right, you're you're so too, So you're meeting correct
park unless you pay, including the one in Inglewood, not
at all. Yeah, I will park in the middle of
Inglewood and I will walk down with my shirt off
(18:27):
and nothing will happen. I don't know about that. Inglewood's great.
Prove it. Love it love Inglewood. Can't get enough of
it in the hood in Inglewood.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Mickey in State forty eight says, I totally with last night,
degrading the Dodgers for having a bullpen game. Dodgers have
the edge in Game five as they're pure talent, but
the three m vps will outplay the Padres. We'll see
about that, Steve Wright s and he says a Brewers
fan new we changed the World Series line once Alonso
(18:58):
went yard. Well they haven't, Brewers. Haven't the Brewers upont
of the Mets? Who beat them? That stat the Mets
and inby who beats the Brewers and the playoffs goes
to the World Series hasn't happened yet now, Matt the
Warrior Padre and Tom Brady Rose fan writes in he says,
the only logical explanation for the Podre's performance is that
(19:20):
Poppy must have had some serious bling bling on the friars.
All right, Tammy? In Vegas, rights instance, my lyft driver
has been canceling their rides. I'm tuned in to the
show here listening on the iHeart app while I find
a ride. It is a madhouse after opening night with
the Vegas Golden Knights. Here you go a great wine.
(19:44):
She points out she was at the hockey game. Wouldn't
the move be, though, Tammy, to get as far away
from the arena as possible? I know you live in Vegas,
but you take the tram. Don't they have that free
tram from you can take from the hotel, the next
hotel over, like the Bellagio or something like that. Wouldn't
that be the move? Get as far away from the
(20:07):
arena as possible. Last time I was at that arena though,
there was a sewer leak and it smelled like you
would imagine a sewer would smell. And yeah, not good.
I have noticed that a lot of the trolls have
been hiding a typical cowardly activity by the trolls. Many
of you are very upset, hoping this would be dance
(20:29):
on Maler's grave, on the Dodgers and all that, but
did not happen. Slim Tim wrights In says a night
off from work, but I always tune in to the
maalor show. No days off anyone else stone like me?
None our listeners all are hard at work. None of
them are all liquored up at all. No, no, no, no, no,
(20:49):
does not happen. So the soft diego. That would be
the Padres who banned a reporter from the dug out
and now the Padres. This goes back to the previous game,
not the game that was played just hours ago, but
Ken Rosenthal, the little guy with the bow tie. Ken
(21:09):
Rosenthal was banned from the Padres Dugout because he wrote
a column that the Padres did not like. He was
not allowed in the Pottery Dugout back on Tuesday because
he wrote a column calling Manny Machado punkish. You know,
the guy threw the ball at Dave Roberts and Fernando
(21:30):
Tatis a peacock because he jumped up and down on
home plate like a you know, a peacock, strutting around
with his feathers out and all that. Now, my favorite
part of these stories when athletes are stupid and they
do things like this, My favorite part of it is
Ken Rosenthal writes for the Athletic. Hardly anyone reads The Athletic, right,
(21:52):
you have to pay extra for it. The internet's usually free.
No one really wants to pay. There's a very small
amount of people actually read what Rosenthal writes. It's mostly
he's writing for nobody. But now everybody knows. Everybody knows
who cares because now the Padres have put a spotlight
on what Rosenthal wrote right the current Padres. And this
(22:14):
goes back to what I said in the monologue. There's
a roster filled with unicorns and show ponies to tease
and Machado, right, they were so offended by a column
nobody read. They wanted to make sure that everyone knew
about the column. Everyone knew about the column, so they said, okay,
why don't we put a blimp up in the sky
(22:35):
and we'll advertise the column, which five people.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
And now the other thing about it is by a
paywall on the New York Times owned Athletic. But the
other part of it is it's like, well, now it's
everywhere for free. You don't even up pay for it,
so you get all the good stuff. Rosenthal, he bashed
the tea said he was a smiling, dancing peacock. That
seems accurate to me. Does anyone think he's not a
(22:59):
dancing peacock? That's what he does. The column was titled
Sinister Sling, and it talked about the many faux pause
of Manny Machado, the fake tough guy, and yeah, that's
the way it went. So they Batteries were so offended,
so offended it hit a nerve. I me, he thinks
(23:19):
it hit a nerve because they were right. That's why
it hit a nerve. That's what happened there. It is
the ben Malis show. I got a bunch of people online,
several of you are in the middle of the hurricane
or it's approaching in Florida and you want to give
us updates on the hurricanes. We'll have live boots on
the ground reporting as I saw some video earlier the
(23:40):
hurricane making landfall, and it did. It was a lidlifter,
literally as the ballpark their Tropic Canna Field. Some wild
video the roof of Tropic Canna Field, which was set
up to be a first responder base camp, and the
whole thing went. The roof shot up in the sky.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It reminds you of in Minnesota. They would implode it
from the snow. Obviously this is a wind and whatnot.
So I said, everyone's safe inside Dropic Cannafield, but the
roof does not exist anymore at that particular ballpark.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
News from the NFL. The New England Patriots are place,
aren't you say? The NFL has placed New England Patriots
safety Gibil Peppers on the Commissioner's exempt list, a couple
of days after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend,
and the Houston Texans a placed stand out wide receiver
Nico Collins on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
No Nico play the Patriots. No Nico for the one
May Day for the Patriots. Drake May starting that game
for New England on Sundays Sunday Sunday. So the Mets
are into the League Championship Series. Steve Cohen said he's
been waiting for this for years. Was he gonna say
when they get the World Series? If they do get
the World Series, that's not According to Nick Castellanos, though
(25:02):
he says the Mets not a better team than us.
Big headline on the tabloids Nick Castellanos saying the Mets
not a better team, but that very well would be true.
I think you'd take the Phillies roster over the Mets roster.
But all that matters is who does well in the moment,
and the Phillies did not do well by any measurement,
(25:23):
any reasonable measurement. The Phillies sucked at a time you
cannot suck. They say we sucked with something. Let's suck.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Let's go suck together.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Let's go have fun sucking, you know, and let's enjoy it. Yeah, well,
that would be the Mets that we're doing that and
Lindor Francisco. Lindor hitting a go ahead Grand slam while
trailing in the sixth thing year later postseason history, is
the first player to do that since guy with a
great nickname. That would be none other than the fly
(25:51):
in Hawaiian Shane victor Reno back in twenty thirteen. So
it's been been a minute since we saw a game
changing go ahead grand slam six in a year later,
and in baseball history, the players that hit game changing
grand slams that late that we're series clinchers. You got
Lindor and Shane Victorino and the other one you got
(26:14):
to go all the way back to nineteen ninety seven,
and that would be Devaughon White. There's a name from
the past, Devon White. So that's it. Let's go to Tim,
who's in Florida And Tim what part of Florida? Tim?
Are you? Are you as a hurricane hit your area
at Tim?
Speaker 7 (26:34):
Yeah, I'm in at Fort Myers. So we got lucky.
It hit a little above us, all right. Unfortunate for
the people in Tampa and Sarasota and Cst. Key and
Baytima Beach. It's going to hit there. But I only
lost power for about six hours, which I expected to
be low.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
More than that.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
All right, So it wasn't that bad where you are.
But the video is pretty pretty wild there, the dropic
can of field getting destroyed. And I'm sure once the
sun comes up on Thursday, get a full put the
drones up and they'll see what actually happened.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
Gonna good, take a bike ride and see what happens.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, I would wait a little bit.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
Yeah, yeah, it'll be calm tomorrow when I get up.
I was mainly also calling just like baseball, Like I'm
a Red fan.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I remember, I'm the Rob Evans guy.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
You're the Bob Evans, I remember you.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
I'm a Red fan. I haven't boved baseball in a
long time because the Reds just kind of suck every.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Time we get a uh Serry Frank conor now you
got a new manager, well we.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Yeah, then there's another spot there. But like you know,
since nineteen ninety though, we like that's when it was
like great, But this this postseason has been phenomenal. I
really like, like I don't have a you know, a
horse in the race. I'm just watching it and going, wow,
(28:04):
this is well.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
The ratings are up, people are ratings are up quite
a bit from year to year. So you're not alone.
You're not alone to him, You're not alone. People are
checking it.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Out, not rooting for anybody, but like, man, it's just
like like what like this happens, that happens. Bam bam,
bam bam, like like what's going on.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, it's been it's been interesting. Although the Tigers and
the whatever the Cleveland teams called that one'n injured. That
was boring. That game was boring, and the Padre Dodger
game was pretty boring too. If you're if you want competition,
if you have no skin in the game, because the
padridates didn't show up.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
What if the Tigers win?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
