Speaker 1 (00:00):
Talking bass ball. It's our number one. Happy October fifteenth,
It's Wednesday, it's hump Day.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We're in this thing together.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
We stayed up all night for fresh pod and here
in hour number one, the Dodgers are up two to
ozho in the National League Championship Series. What has gone
wrong with the Pat Murphy Brewers, the Skippers? The Brewers
now with about a ten percent chance of winning this series,
the Dodgers have it at ninety percent based on what
has happened. The story is on the mound for la
(00:33):
is Yoshinobu Yamamoto's dominating performance a feel good story for
the Dodgers. Also, how do you explain the Dodgers winning
these games while they get little from their top three
position players Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Sho hail Tani.
And as the NLCS on ice for the Dodgers, is
(00:53):
it over? At this point? We'll examine all of those
different angles and more. Settle in for a baseball heavy
our number one. Well, have you thought the National League
(01:14):
Championship Series would be competitive? You're losing that wager right
about now.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You're not looking so good.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Welcome in the beginning of another night.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
We are in the air everywhere audio buddies as we
never catch shut out, not at night. We don't believe
in that coast to coast border, the border and beyond
on the mast and stylishly powerful microphones of fsre ammundating
live from the house as we play to a packed,
(01:52):
rambunctious house the Fox Sports Radio studios deep in the
heart of the north Woods were somewhere Sleazy Cheese is
having some problems. He's having some issues right now. He's
just not going well for the hometown team there. But
I digress. So we're hanging out together here bloviating the
(02:13):
overnight hours away and this portion, by the way of
the Ben Mahler Show on Fox, the show that you're
listening to right now. God bless you, made possible in
part by our friends at tire Rack. For over forty years,
Tyraq has been helping customers like Alf the Alien opinter
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
(02:35):
which for dog gives the thumbs up too. With convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation. It's very important for
just Josh in Cincinnati tire raq dot com the way
tire buying should be.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
So the headline.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Boo the Brew, Boo the Brew. The headline on this
It was game number two in the National League Championship Series.
The Land of Derry and the pesky brew Crew.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's how they were built on the Marque.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
If you look at the Marquis, the Brewers build as
that pesky team looking to square things up against the
big blue wrecking crew, the Boys in Blue. Now, I
don't know if you watched this game or not. It
was on turner. I watched so you would not have to,
and you didn't miss all that much. You did not
miss all that much. Now, the story of the game
(03:28):
was something that rarely happens in modern baseball, something that
has not happened very much of the last decade in
the sport of baseball. What is that dominate starting pitching
yet again, Yoshinomu Yama Moto a three hitter for the
first postseason complete.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Game in Let me check my notes here, eight years.
It had been eight I barely remember, barely remember the
last time this happens. It's been a while.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The Dodgers beat the pulp out of the once proud
Brewers five to one. They extend their lead in the NLCS.
It's a best of seven, not a best of five.
It was the best of five. It would be much worse.
It's not much better at best of seven. But Yamamoto
with the gem, the domination situation at a time you
(04:26):
need to dominate. He dominated in Game two. And that
comes one night after.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Bro I'm risking my life, bra Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Blake Snell, I ain't playing unless I get mine went
out there and allowed one hit over eight shutout innings
in the game.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
One two to one win unless I get well.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
He got his and he's playing. And on this night, Yamamoto,
if you saw the game, you know the Brewers, the
crowd going wild there. Everyone had their brew Crew gear on.
They were fired up. They had a lot of merch
and I had one nothing lead. Jackson the home run
of the first pitch of the game the Brewers saw
and it was all downhill from there. The Dodgers get
(05:07):
some long ball support Tail hernandez ait a home run.
Max Munsey also had a ding dong. And you don't
think of Max Munsey as one of the great postseason
players in Dodger history yet He now has the record
for most career postseason home runs for the LA Dodgers fourteen.
(05:28):
The real drama, though, was that there was no drama.
There was like no one monthly Game one. We had
that moment right ninth inning the Brewers were coming back
and they did the thing you can't do at the time,
you can't do it. That was some drama. That's good
talk radio on this night. There was not that moment.
There was not that moment in this game. They mentioned
(05:50):
the Dodgers fell behind early and once they got the lead,
that was it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
They did not give up the lead.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So the better story, though, is in the losing lock
a gloomy Milwaukee Brewers locker room. Despite the top record
in the National League, one of the great seasons in
regular season history, Milwaukee at home the strange brew they
are now zero for two in this series. Now, Pat
(06:18):
Murphy after the game, he was trying to put on
a happy face there. He said, you guys might have
counted us out, he said, He said, but I understand,
he said, ninety percent of the time teams that are
in this situation have not won.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But but Pat.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Murphy said, this team has been counted out A lot
this year, and I think there's some fight left in them.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Close quote.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
All right, so let us discuss the question what the
hell is wrong? What is wrong with Pat Murphy's Milwaukee Brewers.
This is very Unbrewer like what we've seen from this
team the first couple of games. So my thoughts on this,
I've got this is Robinson, Apple Watch and Rattlesnake, and
(07:05):
we will combine these three random things together, and we
are going to make some delicious cheese curds, is what
we're going to make. So a it's like a magic show.
It is like I want to see a magic show.
It's like before you're Houdini. Not from Wisconsin, but there's
a Hairy Houdini museum up in Appleton.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And I have been there. My brother lives there. It
was his birthday, so I called him. We're talking about
great things about Appleton, Wisconsin, and he says, my brother
does not have the sports gene.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
He's lacking the sports dean, and so he's but he
tries to engage me with sports conversations. So he's like, oh,
my Brewers.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's like, yeah, I don't think he watched the game.
But anyway, It's like a magic trick before our eyes,
before our eyes. There the Brewers look like absolute feeble pushovers.
It's the junior varsity versus the varsity. From what we've
seen here, especially on offense, my god, it's more like
a late night infomercial how not to hit a baseball.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
The Milwaukee brewerway.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
My man handled by Blake Snelling Game one and Yoshinobu
Yamamoto and game number two, the Milwaukee hitters appear to
be completely shell shocked, rattled, overmatched. I don't know what
other words you want me to use. It's not good.
It's almost like somebody played a prank on them, and
the equipment manager said, we don't need the Louisville sluggers anymore.
(08:28):
Let's get rid of the Louisville sluggers. Let's use those
nerf bats. We'll use to see if we can hit
with those nerf bats. It's not going well, and they're
not playing their game. We were talking about the Cubs
and the Brewers, and the Cub fans are loving us.
By the way, based on the feedback I'm getting, there
is no better joy than shot in freude and the
Chicago cub marching in Shadow Society, and I'm not checked
(08:52):
in with senior members like Tree or your FIMI, but
some of the people that do listen in Illinois and
in the Chicago land area, who are people send me
emails on a random basis. I said, well, this is
what the Brewers deserve. They put up that L flag,
they mocked the Cubs, They've cursed themselves, they've jinxd themselves,
the Milwaukee Brewers because when they took the photo after
they beat the Cubs, apparently they had to. I didn't
(09:13):
see this the day it happened, but apparently they held
up a white flag with the blue L the signal
loss and for the Cubs. So their Cub fans are
very excited about this. But back to the case at hand.
So the Brewer is not playing their game, undisciplined at
the plate, swinging, chasing pitches, swinging, trying to hit home runs.
(09:35):
If you're gonna try to out homer the Dodgers that Now,
I didn't play major League Baseball, I just.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Do an overnight talk show.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I don't think that's a good strategy, but what do
I know, Maybe that'll work out for you. Not really
working the counts the whole thing about the Brewers was
small ball, that they've got patience and all of that
is just rubbish, absolute rubbish. At this particular point, it's
insomnia inducing the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I'm not complaining about it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I didn't expect this series to start out the way
it is started. But it's like these guys. For the Brewers,
they saw a ghosts or something like that. And the
ghost name I actually know. The name is not Casper,
It's not the stave puff marshmallow man. The ghost is
named high spin rate. Very scary, that ghost high spin rate.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
They don't like it.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
The Brewers hitters. I did the math on this. Now
it's malord math, which may or may not be correct,
but the malor math on this. The Brewers hitters, through
two games in the National League Championship Series are batting
eighty six, which I believe is a highway in the
Midwest eighty six. The offense has gone from feisty to
(10:41):
absolutely feeble in these first two games, and so we
need to rewrite. We need Paul Simon to rewrite Missus
Robinson and that classic song.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Where have you Gone? Robin ye out?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And Paul Molitor Brewers Nation turns its lonely eyes to
you because the guy's currently playing. It's like a pirate's
term there she blues. My god, Christian Yelich, William Contreras.
Two guys in the middle of the Brewers lineup both
oh for seven combined. That's oh for fourteen. Now that
the game changing moment. And this kind of reminds me
(11:14):
there was a World Series in the mid nineties and
we were doing some talk shows after random that just
popped in my head when I was watching Game two
and thinking about, what's the moment here if this thing
continues the way it's going, And the Podres played the Yankees,
and it was at Yankee Stadium. This was during the
Joe Tory years when the Yankees were winning World Series
regularly and all that, and the Padres were like his
(11:35):
upstart Nation League team.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I think it was the first inning. Mark Langston was
on the mound.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It was a picture for the Padres, and he threw
a pitch that was clearly a strike that was not
called a strike. And then and I'm doing this off
my memory, I believe Tino Martinez then hit like a
Grand Slam later in the bat or whatever, later in
the inning, and that was like the end of that
World Series, and it happened very early in the World Series.
Now this is obviously not the World Series, but the
(12:00):
National League Championship Series. The game changing moment bottom of
the ninth. I go back to Game one, Bryce Terrang
failed to do the thing you were supposed to do
at the time you were supposed to do it. As
I go back to that, he pogo sticked out of
the way. Bases were loaded, Brewers down by a run,
The Dodger bullpen was on the ropes. They were on
(12:21):
the ropes, and you tie the game. Even if you
don't win the game in the bottom of the ninth,
you're going the rest of the way against the suck
bag Dodger bullpen. And the next pitch Bryce Terrang, after
he dodged the hit hit by pitch that would have
scored the tying run, he then swung at a pitch
that even Victor Weinbanyama of the San Antonio Spurs is
(12:43):
about ten feet tall, would not have swung at. And
there you go. So that was the Brewers moment until
proven otherwise. There she goes. Now on another page of
this breakdown, thorough in depth team coverage which is just
me and my many personality breaking down the National Championship Series.
So is Yoshinobu Yamamoto's performance a feel good story for
(13:07):
the Dodgers. The way it was being described on the
TV broadcast, the Turner broadcast made it seem like this
is some kind of amazing accomplishment that that needs to
be celebrated and everyone needs to just get up and
toast Yoshinobu Yamamoto. So he was both wonderful, and my
answer is no, this is not some kind of feel
(13:28):
good performance for Yamamoto. You don't get a pat on
the back. This is my general rule of thumb, and
you're free to disagree. You don't get a pat on
the back for doing the job description that you signed
up for. The only thing that I take away from
that performance is ROI return on investment.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
The Dodgers got return on investment. They didn't just waste
their time flying to Japan to watch the cherry blossoms, right,
They went there to sign this guy. They gave twelve
years and a hunt and three hundred and twenty five million.
That's a whole lot of cherry blossoms, and they handed
him the keys to Chavez Ravine twelve year contract for
(14:10):
a pitcher, and so they didn't give him that money
so they could say, well, gee, thanks, thanks for the effort.
We're god you tried. We're glad you tried. No one, no,
that's not it. They bought a symphony conductor. They needed
a conductor of the symphony, and Yamamoto provided that he
was Beethoven's fifth in that game on the mound at
(14:32):
Cornucopia of Goodness, and for once, and let's make sure
we don't save the tape on this. I can't believe
I'm about to say this, but the nerds got it
right in this game.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
They got it right.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Dave Roberts, who makes no real decisions, but the nerds
instructed Dave Roberts not to.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Do the thing he would normally do.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
And if it was the regular season and Yamamoto was
pitching like this, Dave Roberts would have yanked him out
after five and a third innings out of an abundance
of caution.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Is his apple watch.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
His apple watch would have said pitcher fatigue, pitcher fatigue.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Wooo would have.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Lit up just like that oooooo pitcher fifty. But no,
they let him pitch. Oh my god, one hundred and
eleven pitches. Should we calling the Red Cross right now?
One hundred and eleven pitches?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
O MG?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Imagine that the first postseason complete game since cheating a
one one thousand and two one thousand hole Justin Verlander
back in twenty seventeen. So will Yamamoto now need terminator
like surgeries. He's gonna have to have a metal part
put into his body to replace part of his arm
now because he pitched one hundred eleven pitches. Inquiring minds
(15:42):
would like to know developing hot dot dot dot now
in a positive note, because I am Betty Brightside and
I did not expect this performance from the Dodgers. The
bullpen in Game two flawless. It is amazing how good
the bullpen is. When they're sitting there get hemorrhoids watching
the game. Holy cramp, are they good? They are really good.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
The key to the Dodger bullpen is to not pitch
the Dodger bullpen. They're amazing, all right, last word, quick ley,
all right, So how do you explain the Dodgers winning
these games when they are getting little to nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
From the big boppers.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
The big boppers are not really boppin' in the Dodger lineup.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So you do the math on this.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Now, we mentioned the Brewers having their problems, which are
I mean, that's legendarily bad. But there the Dodgers Shoe Oltani,
Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Bets in the first two games
of the National LEGU Championship Series on the road are
batting one twenty five against Milwaukee pitching. I know Freddy
Freeman at a home runner. Tony did have an RBI
(16:51):
Ribby hit here in Game two, but that is whack
a doodle is what that is. That's the nature of us.
As John Sterling would say, that's baseball, Susan. The Dodgers'
top hitter's not hitting there, and the Dodgers this is
the issue. Though, I totally understand why people are upseting.
I mean, I'm not upset, obviously, I like the Dodgers
(17:11):
and all that stuff. But the Dodgers will, like the
United States Navy, by land, by sea, by air, whatever
it takes, right, whatever it takes. And this is why
there's so much animosity, and this thing's gonna get really
are this continues for the playoffs and the Dodgers win
two more games and then beat Seattle in the World Series.
It is really gonna blow the top off. It's a
(17:32):
tinderbox right now. Oh, it's up so tired.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
They're running baseball. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Polite society does not appreciate the monster mashing on the
mound that's going on for the Dodgers. And they do
come in convoys like so the top guys aren't hitting
the tail, Hernandez gets some big hits, and Key k
Hernandez and this guy and that guy and all that stuff.
I'm telling you, if this continues, major League Baseball is
heading towards a point of demarcation here where the halves
(17:59):
versus the half notch, and they are going to make
it like Nascar. They're gonna put restrictor plates on what
you can spend and how you can spend it, and
they are going to deball the Dodgers. So my advice
to my fellow Dodger Officionatos is enjoy this because in
a couple of years there's gonna be a work stoppage
and they're gonna cut your balls off and you're gonna
(18:21):
have to trade some of these guys. I'm telling you,
it's gonna be ugly because the Dodgers are too good
and people are annoyed by It's also annoying that they
don't give a rats ass about the regular season. It's
disgusting makes me want to puke in my mouth that
these guys lolligag during the regular season and then just
show up in October and now here we go.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
All right, now, is the NLCS over right? Is it over?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Let's take the temperature in the room. But the temperature
in the room is obviously luke warm. Is the champagne
on ice for the Dodgers, Well, not quite yet. And
see the thing about this, and well, it certainly favors
the Dodgers done. It has happened in the past. Have
been teams, granted not many, that have come back in
this situation until you get that final out of the
(19:06):
closeout game.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
There is more work to be done obviously here. And
it's not over.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
There's a very fat woman somewhere who's warming up her
vocal cords getting ready to sing.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Here.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Dodgers, they got glass now coming in Game three and
he's got major choke itis. And you know they, from
what I've been told by people out there, they're afraid
to pitch him on the road because he's not that
tough a guy. He's kind of a softy, So they're
going to pitch him at home hoping that he'll be
okay there. So we'll see how that goes down. And
if they don't win Game three and then Altani doesn't
(19:35):
go more than six innings or something like that, they
got to go to the bullpen. Then the bullpen blows
up all of a sudden. It's it's tied up, but
the history says, well, it's not done done, but it's
kind of done at this point. And if you look
at it, since there is no such thing as momentum
in baseball, it's an eighty eight percent chance that tells
you what has happened, not what's going to happen. But
(19:57):
the Brewers have a golden opportunity. So if I was
on the Brewer side, the golden opportunities rather obvious. Here,
you become an all time icon if you can be
on the team that comes back. There have been three
teams in the current format, the two three to two
format that have been able to come back, and they're
all iconic baseball teams. Depending how old you are, the
(20:17):
nineteen eighty five Kansas City Royal Steve Bye Bye Balboni,
and you think of George Brett, some of the legends,
Mukie Wilson, not Mokie Wilson, that was Willie Wilson on
that eighty five Royals team. In the eighty six Mets
had Mukie Wilson, they had Lenny Nails, Dykstra and legends
like Darryl Strawberry.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And they, of course came back with the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
And you look at the the Jim Larretz nineteen ninety
six Yankees against the Atlanta Braves. Laborets hit this massive
home run. I think it was off Mark wohlders if
I remember in the nineteen ninety six World Series in Atlanta,
and that's an all time moment for that era of
Yankee baseball. And so you back a rattles tea. I
heard this somewhere along the way. You back a rat
that'll sneak into a corner and it strikes. Yeah, Now
(21:07):
what happens if you back a cornered brewer into a corner?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You know what happens? No, you ever heard of beer muscles? No,
you never heard of beer muscles.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Beer muscles are a thing, might shotgun a couple PBRs
and start throwing haymakers. Watch out all right again, just
all It takes one bad adding from Glassnow, Brewers win
that game. Tony goes five innings, you gotta go to
the bullpend Suzaki blows it and all of a sudden
we're dead up to two.

Late night drug Tester writes in and points out that
(24:31):
there was a full baseball monologue. He says, if the
MLB Playoffs keep giving us games that are boring to watch,
you may just have to start doing some hockey monologues.
Go Jets, Go Yes, that's always my default position.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I'll put my stick right in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I used to tell Eddie all the time, I said,
if the Gremlins ever attack Eddie, go do that Winnipeg
Jets monologue. Knock it out of the park. And we
never got that Winnipeg Jets monologue. Not a burner, right,
since says Ben, I have a helpful PSA for the
malord militia, it's the most wonderful time of the year
to go on a blankety blank blank blank blank blank blank.
(25:10):
I'm pretty sure that Hayes. That's why Hayes hasn't called,
so he thinks that Hayes is out doing what Hayes
many of you think Hayes does. Hayes calls once every
two or three months, and most likely once every three months.
I know he's listing Hayes at what's going on there?
I have no ideas.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
An interesting time takes the body to decompose, is that right?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Okay, that's kind of what not a burner was talking
about there. Well, he works at a he works at
a cemintery.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Oh okay, right, right right. Coop thinks he might have
a side hustle, but that's his you know, No, I
was just referring to the whole the mortuary thing. Okay,
I got you. Yeah, sure, Yeah, that's why they have
the freezers there to put the bodies in there, the cadavers.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah, Firg Duck says, I'm calling it now. Men, the
Dodgers are your twenty twenty five World Series champions. Nobody's
beating them. Not the Cheeseheads, not the Big Dumper, definitely
not Team Canada. There's no team that's going to beat them.
There's no reason to wait any longer. Okay, So I
don't have to watch that. That's great. I don't need
to watch King Rory from the Belly of the Beast
(26:12):
in Wisconsin, says Will Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto's arms
be reattached in time for the World Series. I'm not
counting my Brewers out yet, he says King Rory, because
it is the best of seven. But if they can't
get the Dodgers bullpen early and often, then it's pretty
much over.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I love optimism. He's trying to be.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
He's hoping to be optimistic Scott right, since says in
the playoffs Showhy is the kershaw of hitters. Don't say that, Scott.
You're not allowed to say anything mean about Kershaw. The
Kershaw cult, those that have been indoctrinated into the belief
that Clayton Kershaw is the baseball Jesus, get very uposte.
(26:58):
I'm still getting angry mess just from a monologue I did.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
He can do.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I know, I know, it's it's amazing. So I did
members like the end of the regularly.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
It was the day they dug up the mound the
ceremonial dug you remember, it was the dumbest thing I've
ever seen the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It's so embarrassing, and they wanted to dig a hole.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
They dug the mound up after Kershaw's last start because
I would have dug the mound up after his last
start in the playoffs when he started that game against
the Diamondbacks and it was over right after the stealth
bomber flyover.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Because he was over so bad.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
This sucks so much in big games, and these Kershaw
people have been brainwashed and they they will not allow it,
and they're like the messages.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Are like, well, I used to like you, but I
love God. I love those messages.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Oh, I used to like your show. But you said
something I don't agree with, So it's over. Yeah, nature
Boy writes in, answering the call to the while these
says it's not over until the Fat Muncie does Dodger
jazz hands and a lot of a lot of jazz
jazz hands, a lot of that going on with get
(28:04):
a lot of that tiger Man in Utah. We met him,
good the good man Tiger Ma. It's been to the
mallor meet and greeting there in Vegas. He says, I
was getting worried about Kaitlin Clark not being in your
lineup for a while. Now, Ben, glad, glad we can
turn that page there. Yeah, yeah, there was a little
reference later on interesting story I go where the news
of the day takes us. Yeah, Parito writes in, and
(28:26):
he says, a time to get serious about waking up
Otani's bat. I'm switching from rum to saki. And he's
got a shrine. He's got a shrine to try to
get this thing straight. Now, JJ from Renton says Ben,
So you're saying that the Mariners don't have a bullpen
to match the Dodgers. Now, I'm not worried about the Mariners,
(28:48):
JJ and Robbie the Marining fan and crying Craig and
all you other you know who's ben at the comedian.
I'm not worried about them yet. I'm not because you
gotta you get that one more, one more game situation.
The specialist says the Brewers are not the same without
the Hebrew Hammer. Was that the single greatest lying episode
(29:12):
in baseball? Now, there's been a lot of liars in baseball.
Remember when the Hebrew Hammer got up there and said,
oh yeah, yeah, that drug test that I failed? That
was that poor delivery driver. That was the guy the
chain of custody. That's the guy that effed up. And then,
of course it turned out was not.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Exactly the guy that effed up because he had been
doing the needle in the toukis, Well, sometimes you eat
too any poppy seeds, Ben?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah? Okay, sure come up negative on a positiology. My
dad used to use that joke all the time. He
loved the bagels.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
He's I could fail a drug test. Yes I know,
but you know it's true, isn't it. That's what they say,
But you know I hear it every time. You know,
it's okay, I get it. I got the joke. I'm
okay with it. I'm fine. Scrooge, who's in the younger
demo in the Bay Area, says it would be insane
if the Mariners beat the Dodgers the World Series. I
don't think seen is the right word for that, but
(30:03):
I don't think you have to worry about that happening.
Let's go to John. I can't get a guy in
Milwaukee to call. I don't blame him. I'd be in
hiding two if I was a Brewers fan, very embarrassing.
If the Brewers were up to oh, it would be
nothing but brewer talk. But let's go to John, who's
in the great state of Maine. I gotta go all
the way to Maine to get hot brewer talk.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Hello, John, Welcome, Hey mister Maylor.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
How are you doing to night?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
If I was any better, I'd be a Brewer, but
not a Milwaukee Brewer. They're not good.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
I grew up in Wisconsin, and the America's team to
me is the nineteen eighty US hockey team that beat
the Russians. So there is no America's team but them.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
So okay, that's rather interesting. I don't know, did I mention.
Did I ever say America's team? I don't recall mentioning
America's team. Did I say that it's an America?
Speaker 6 (30:56):
Okay, No, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
I just wanted to said thank you for making the
Brewers sound like an actual team. Instead shout show up
and just give the Dodgers their trophy and just go
in the corner and cry.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
It's pretty much.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Hold.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
How did you end up in Maine from You're from Wisconsin?
Speaker 5 (31:23):
What what?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
What took you in life to the state of me.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
I served eighteen years in the military, so I was
all over the place and uh then I ended up
getting down in South Carolina. My wife died, bought an
r V, and I became a travel ct tech. So
traveled across the states looking for a new home. Yeah,
got to New England and.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Here I am fell in love and you're never leaving.
You're never you love it. It's great. You call that bar,
You're like, I'm not. I'm not in prison. I can
go anywhere I want, leave anything I want to do.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Yes, I got the camper's right out back, I got
it filled up. Oh great, Yeah, if things get too
tough at the hospital, I'll find another hospital to work in.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Okay, I got you, now I have.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I did a Mallard meet and greet in Portland, Maine,
and I was told by people that live in Maine
that's fake Maine. I was told that the listeners I
met apparently aren't really real main people, that the real
Maine is up the road, and that Portland, Maine is
just a little tourist town that people from like Boston
drive up to. But it's not really, it's not legit,
(32:36):
you know.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
That's what you got to get up here? By Lincoln.
That's only about the twenty miles from the Canadian border.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
So oh man, you're way You're way up there. You're
way way up there.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
That's like a full day of driving, is what that is?
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Man?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
All right, all right, Joe, Well thanks for listening. Man,
I appreciate thank you. All Right, there's a John and Maine.
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Howd he end up twenty miles from the Canadian border
in Maine? He just told you right there. A lot
of things happen in life. Guy ends up all of
a sudden, he's at a hospital twenty miles from all Canada,
and he's calling up an overnight radio show talking Brewers baseball.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
There was history. Maybe it was a bunch of history,
baseball history. It's not like real history, but baseball history.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
And one of the things there the Dodgers the first
team in baseball history to throw and win a complete
game in the postseason but not have thrown any in
the regular season. They had no complete games during the
regular season. You understand how little they cared about the
(33:42):
regular season, no complete games out of an abundance of caution.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
And then they get to the World Series.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Now and there you go, not the World Series, the NLCS,
which is two wins away from the World Series, and
the Dodgers get a complete game, first time that's happened.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
In baseball history.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Time now for the who am I Game? And we'll
get to the play of the day as well. Here's
the who am I?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Game?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
And this is where I pretend to be somebody else.
So this is the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Now back to back who dominating starts in a playoff series.
This is the first time the Doyers got consecutive postseason
starts of eight plus innings since Oral Herscheizer and me
did it in back to back games again, first time
the Dodgers got consecutive postseason starts of eight plus innings
(34:31):
since oral. Herscheizer and me, Who who am I? That
is the question. If you know the answer, you think
you're a little smart guy over there, hit me up
on X at Ben Mahler and we'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
We will do it.
Speaker 6 (34:48):

Phones are packed, so stay online there, do not hang up,
or we will never allow you to call the show again. However,
time now before we get to the who am I Game?
Speaker 5 (36:24):
For?
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Was that too harsh?
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I don't think that was too harsh. Before we get
to the payoff on the who am I Game? Here
is the play of the y. Now, it's not just
any play of the day. No, no, we can do
any play of the day, but no, this is special
because this is the tire act play of the day
and it was Dodger playoff history in Milwaukee. At the plate,
swaiton on one of those big Max Munsey swings another
(36:49):
three to two pitch.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
On the way, Munsey hits one in the air center
field tree lick. He is at the wall. This ball
is out of hair. There's that big all right. No
mention that he's now the Dodgers' all time playoff home
run leader. I guess good editing.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
There, but there it is Max Munsey with his fourteenth
career playoff home run, as called by Steven Elson there
on Am five to seven in LA the short version.
Max Munsey now in sole possession of the LA Dodgers
franchise record for.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
The most postseason home runs as a Dodger.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
And this is a proof of quantity over quality, that
they play more playoff games and that it's like all
those NBA records that have been broken in the postseason
because they kept adding rounds of the playoffs. But Max
Munsey a four hundred four foot home run, I believe
it was.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yes, Oh no it was.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
I see a little lesson that he grounded into a
double play that was four hundred and four feet, But
Max Munsey getting it done there for the Dodgers. That
is the ti Iraq play of the day. For over
forty years told us a long time, ti Iraq has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive. Ship fast and free back by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
(38:03):
tire installation, tirerac dot Com.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
The way tire buying should be. That leads us into
the who am I? Game? This is where I pretend
to be somebody else? As we call it the who
am I? Gaming?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Here we go, So this game in the NLCS Game two,
this is the first time the Dodgers have gotten consecutive
postseason starts Tonight Blake SNeW bro I'm risking my liverawl
in Game one and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game two. First
time the Dodgers have gotten consecutive postseason starts of eight
plus innings since way back when oral Hrscheizer and me
(38:38):
did it?
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Who am I?
Speaker 1 (38:40):
That is the question? What is the answer? This is
anyone in the mallam Maleshiao the answer? Mallard prop Guy
says Eastern Most Quality, Western Most Flavor Farmer, John h
Great Omarashtra, Vin Scully there, Scrooge is going with Mario
Manningham good listener skills there, the former King of Madagascar
(39:02):
from just Josh.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Who else do we have? Miguel on fire cheating? Got
it right?
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Bad job by him. Bobby and Florida says, zach Efron
is the answer. Johnny Podres from Eke and Roseville Minnesota.
Who else do we have? Eric Thames from King Rory.
We've got my next door neighbor. Missus Robinson from Benito
the long Suffering Cowboy fan. You are Fred Hoiberg, who
is fifty three today from Late Night drug tester Andy
(39:30):
and Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says you have to be Walker Buehler.
Buehler Buehler, Yes, mister nice guy is going with Padres
legend Rick Falkers. His answer, Craig says he got he
must be cheating that guy. Craig must be cheating.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Bad job by him.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Marcus is going with Steve Howe or he said Tim Welch.
I think you means Bob Welch. He said Tim Welt's
bad job by you. Robbie the Mariner fan says the
Oregon St. Beaver's football program. That is a great gift
of what things are like at Oregon State. Mike Marshall
from Mister Irrigation. Ugith Orbina from Tacoma dru that's a
(40:10):
good name. Joliet Jake Blues from Donkey Sausage, Ikey Woods

Speaker 2 (40:16):
What'say you? Loray now oldest in the game. We gotta
go with count Tracula Ben not count Track. It's it's

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Second time in two months we've had a tim Belcher answer.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Tim Belcher, Belcher, Belcher, Belcher,
Talking bass ball. It's our number one. Happy October fifteenth,
It's Wednesday, it's hump Day.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We're in this thing together.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
We stayed up all night for fresh pod and here
in hour number one, the Dodgers are up two to
ozho in the National League Championship Series. What has gone
wrong with the Pat Murphy Brewers, the Skippers? The Brewers
now with about a ten percent chance of winning this series,
the Dodgers have it at ninety percent based on what
has happened. The story is on the mound for la
(00:33):
is Yoshinobu Yamamoto's dominating performance a feel good story for
the Dodgers. Also, how do you explain the Dodgers winning
these games while they get little from their top three
position players Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Sho hail Tani.
And as the NLCS on ice for the Dodgers, is
(00:53):
it over? At this point? We'll examine all of those
different angles and more. Settle in for a baseball heavy
our number one. Well, have you thought the National League
(01:14):
Championship Series would be competitive? You're losing that wager right
about now.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You're not looking so good.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Welcome in the beginning of another night.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
We are in the air everywhere audio buddies as we
never catch shut out, not at night. We don't believe
in that coast to coast border, the border and beyond
on the mast and stylishly powerful microphones of fsre ammundating
live from the house as we play to a packed,
(01:52):
rambunctious house the Fox Sports Radio studios deep in the
heart of the north Woods were somewhere Sleazy Cheese is
having some problems. He's having some issues right now. He's
just not going well for the hometown team there. But
I digress. So we're hanging out together here bloviating the
(02:13):
overnight hours away and this portion, by the way of
the Ben Mahler Show on Fox, the show that you're
listening to right now. God bless you, made possible in
part by our friends at tire Rack. For over forty years,
Tyraq has been helping customers like Alf the Alien opinter
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
(02:35):
which for dog gives the thumbs up too. With convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation. It's very important for
just Josh in Cincinnati tire raq dot com the way
tire buying should be.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
So the headline.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Boo the Brew, Boo the Brew. The headline on this
It was game number two in the National League Championship Series.
The Land of Derry and the pesky brew Crew.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's how they were built on the Marque.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
If you look at the Marquis, the Brewers build as
that pesky team looking to square things up against the
big blue wrecking crew, the Boys in Blue. Now, I
don't know if you watched this game or not. It
was on turner. I watched so you would not have to,
and you didn't miss all that much. You did not
miss all that much. Now, the story of the game
(03:28):
was something that rarely happens in modern baseball, something that
has not happened very much of the last decade in
the sport of baseball. What is that dominate starting pitching
yet again, Yoshinomu Yama Moto a three hitter for the
first postseason complete.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Game in Let me check my notes here, eight years.
It had been eight I barely remember, barely remember the
last time this happens. It's been a while.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
The Dodgers beat the pulp out of the once proud
Brewers five to one. They extend their lead in the NLCS.
It's a best of seven, not a best of five.
It was the best of five. It would be much worse.
It's not much better at best of seven. But Yamamoto
with the gem, the domination situation at a time you
(04:26):
need to dominate. He dominated in Game two. And that
comes one night after.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Bro I'm risking my life, bra Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Blake Snell, I ain't playing unless I get mine went
out there and allowed one hit over eight shutout innings
in the game.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
One two to one win unless I get well.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
He got his and he's playing. And on this night, Yamamoto,
if you saw the game, you know the Brewers, the
crowd going wild there. Everyone had their brew Crew gear on.
They were fired up. They had a lot of merch
and I had one nothing lead. Jackson the home run
of the first pitch of the game the Brewers saw
and it was all downhill from there. The Dodgers get
(05:07):
some long ball support Tail hernandez ait a home run.
Max Munsey also had a ding dong. And you don't
think of Max Munsey as one of the great postseason
players in Dodger history yet He now has the record
for most career postseason home runs for the LA Dodgers fourteen.
(05:28):
The real drama, though, was that there was no drama.
There was like no one monthly Game one. We had
that moment right ninth inning the Brewers were coming back
and they did the thing you can't do at the time,
you can't do it. That was some drama. That's good
talk radio on this night. There was not that moment.
There was not that moment in this game. They mentioned
(05:50):
the Dodgers fell behind early and once they got the lead,
that was it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
They did not give up the lead.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So the better story, though, is in the losing lock
a gloomy Milwaukee Brewers locker room. Despite the top record
in the National League, one of the great seasons in
regular season history, Milwaukee at home the strange brew they
are now zero for two in this series. Now, Pat
(06:18):
Murphy after the game, he was trying to put on
a happy face there. He said, you guys might have
counted us out, he said, He said, but I understand,
he said, ninety percent of the time teams that are
in this situation have not won.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But but Pat.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Murphy said, this team has been counted out A lot
this year, and I think there's some fight left in them.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Close quote.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
All right, so let us discuss the question what the
hell is wrong? What is wrong with Pat Murphy's Milwaukee Brewers.
This is very Unbrewer like what we've seen from this
team the first couple of games. So my thoughts on this,
I've got this is Robinson, Apple Watch and Rattlesnake, and
(07:05):
we will combine these three random things together, and we
are going to make some delicious cheese curds, is what
we're going to make. So a it's like a magic show.
It is like I want to see a magic show.
It's like before you're Houdini. Not from Wisconsin, but there's
a Hairy Houdini museum up in Appleton.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And I have been there. My brother lives there. It
was his birthday, so I called him. We're talking about
great things about Appleton, Wisconsin, and he says, my brother
does not have the sports gene.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
He's lacking the sports dean, and so he's but he
tries to engage me with sports conversations. So he's like, oh,
my Brewers.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's like, yeah, I don't think he watched the game.
But anyway, It's like a magic trick before our eyes,
before our eyes. There the Brewers look like absolute feeble pushovers.
It's the junior varsity versus the varsity. From what we've
seen here, especially on offense, my god, it's more like
a late night infomercial how not to hit a baseball.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
The Milwaukee brewerway.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
My man handled by Blake Snelling Game one and Yoshinobu
Yamamoto and game number two, the Milwaukee hitters appear to
be completely shell shocked, rattled, overmatched. I don't know what
other words you want me to use. It's not good.
It's almost like somebody played a prank on them, and
the equipment manager said, we don't need the Louisville sluggers anymore.
(08:28):
Let's get rid of the Louisville sluggers. Let's use those
nerf bats. We'll use to see if we can hit
with those nerf bats. It's not going well, and they're
not playing their game. We were talking about the Cubs
and the Brewers, and the Cub fans are loving us.
By the way, based on the feedback I'm getting, there
is no better joy than shot in freude and the
Chicago cub marching in Shadow Society, and I'm not checked
(08:52):
in with senior members like Tree or your FIMI, but
some of the people that do listen in Illinois and
in the Chicago land area, who are people send me
emails on a random basis. I said, well, this is
what the Brewers deserve. They put up that L flag,
they mocked the Cubs, They've cursed themselves, they've jinxd themselves,
the Milwaukee Brewers because when they took the photo after
they beat the Cubs, apparently they had to. I didn't
(09:13):
see this the day it happened, but apparently they held
up a white flag with the blue L the signal
loss and for the Cubs. So their Cub fans are
very excited about this. But back to the case at hand.
So the Brewer is not playing their game, undisciplined at
the plate, swinging, chasing pitches, swinging, trying to hit home runs.
(09:35):
If you're gonna try to out homer the Dodgers that Now,
I didn't play major League Baseball, I just.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Do an overnight talk show.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I don't think that's a good strategy, but what do
I know, Maybe that'll work out for you. Not really
working the counts the whole thing about the Brewers was
small ball, that they've got patience and all of that
is just rubbish, absolute rubbish. At this particular point, it's
insomnia inducing the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I'm not complaining about it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I didn't expect this series to start out the way
it is started. But it's like these guys. For the Brewers,
they saw a ghosts or something like that. And the
ghost name I actually know. The name is not Casper,
It's not the stave puff marshmallow man. The ghost is
named high spin rate. Very scary, that ghost high spin rate.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
They don't like it.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
The Brewers hitters. I did the math on this. Now
it's malord math, which may or may not be correct,
but the malor math on this. The Brewers hitters, through
two games in the National League Championship Series are batting
eighty six, which I believe is a highway in the
Midwest eighty six. The offense has gone from feisty to
(10:41):
absolutely feeble in these first two games, and so we
need to rewrite. We need Paul Simon to rewrite Missus
Robinson and that classic song.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Where have you Gone? Robin ye out?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And Paul Molitor Brewers Nation turns its lonely eyes to
you because the guy's currently playing. It's like a pirate's
term there she blues. My god, Christian Yelich, William Contreras.
Two guys in the middle of the Brewers lineup both
oh for seven combined. That's oh for fourteen. Now that
the game changing moment. And this kind of reminds me
(11:14):
there was a World Series in the mid nineties and
we were doing some talk shows after random that just
popped in my head when I was watching Game two
and thinking about, what's the moment here if this thing
continues the way it's going, And the Podres played the Yankees,
and it was at Yankee Stadium. This was during the
Joe Tory years when the Yankees were winning World Series
regularly and all that, and the Padres were like his
(11:35):
upstart Nation League team.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I think it was the first inning. Mark Langston was
on the mound.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It was a picture for the Padres, and he threw
a pitch that was clearly a strike that was not
called a strike. And then and I'm doing this off
my memory, I believe Tino Martinez then hit like a
Grand Slam later in the bat or whatever, later in
the inning, and that was like the end of that
World Series, and it happened very early in the World Series.
Now this is obviously not the World Series, but the
(12:00):
National League Championship Series. The game changing moment bottom of
the ninth. I go back to Game one, Bryce Terrang
failed to do the thing you were supposed to do
at the time you were supposed to do it. As
I go back to that, he pogo sticked out of
the way. Bases were loaded, Brewers down by a run,
The Dodger bullpen was on the ropes. They were on
(12:21):
the ropes, and you tie the game. Even if you
don't win the game in the bottom of the ninth,
you're going the rest of the way against the suck
bag Dodger bullpen. And the next pitch Bryce Terrang, after
he dodged the hit hit by pitch that would have
scored the tying run, he then swung at a pitch
that even Victor Weinbanyama of the San Antonio Spurs is
(12:43):
about ten feet tall, would not have swung at. And
there you go. So that was the Brewers moment until
proven otherwise. There she goes. Now on another page of
this breakdown, thorough in depth team coverage which is just
me and my many personality breaking down the National Championship Series.
So is Yoshinobu Yamamoto's performance a feel good story for
(13:07):
the Dodgers. The way it was being described on the
TV broadcast, the Turner broadcast made it seem like this
is some kind of amazing accomplishment that that needs to
be celebrated and everyone needs to just get up and
toast Yoshinobu Yamamoto. So he was both wonderful, and my
answer is no, this is not some kind of feel
(13:28):
good performance for Yamamoto. You don't get a pat on
the back. This is my general rule of thumb, and
you're free to disagree. You don't get a pat on
the back for doing the job description that you signed
up for. The only thing that I take away from
that performance is ROI return on investment.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
The Dodgers got return on investment. They didn't just waste
their time flying to Japan to watch the cherry blossoms, right,
They went there to sign this guy. They gave twelve
years and a hunt and three hundred and twenty five million.
That's a whole lot of cherry blossoms, and they handed
him the keys to Chavez Ravine twelve year contract for
(14:10):
a pitcher, and so they didn't give him that money
so they could say, well, gee, thanks, thanks for the effort.
We're god you tried. We're glad you tried. No one, no,
that's not it. They bought a symphony conductor. They needed
a conductor of the symphony, and Yamamoto provided that he
was Beethoven's fifth in that game on the mound at
(14:32):
Cornucopia of Goodness, and for once, and let's make sure
we don't save the tape on this. I can't believe
I'm about to say this, but the nerds got it
right in this game.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
They got it right.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Dave Roberts, who makes no real decisions, but the nerds
instructed Dave Roberts not to.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Do the thing he would normally do.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
And if it was the regular season and Yamamoto was
pitching like this, Dave Roberts would have yanked him out
after five and a third innings out of an abundance
of caution.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Is his apple watch.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
His apple watch would have said pitcher fatigue, pitcher fatigue.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Wooo would have.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Lit up just like that oooooo pitcher fifty. But no,
they let him pitch. Oh my god, one hundred and
eleven pitches. Should we calling the Red Cross right now?
One hundred and eleven pitches?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
O MG?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Imagine that the first postseason complete game since cheating a
one one thousand and two one thousand hole Justin Verlander
back in twenty seventeen. So will Yamamoto now need terminator
like surgeries. He's gonna have to have a metal part
put into his body to replace part of his arm
now because he pitched one hundred eleven pitches. Inquiring minds
(15:42):
would like to know developing hot dot dot dot now
in a positive note, because I am Betty Brightside and
I did not expect this performance from the Dodgers. The
bullpen in Game two flawless. It is amazing how good
the bullpen is. When they're sitting there get hemorrhoids watching
the game. Holy cramp, are they good? They are really good.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
The key to the Dodger bullpen is to not pitch
the Dodger bullpen. They're amazing, all right, last word, quick ley,
all right, So how do you explain the Dodgers winning
these games when they are getting little to nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
From the big boppers.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
The big boppers are not really boppin' in the Dodger lineup.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
So you do the math on this.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Now, we mentioned the Brewers having their problems, which are
I mean, that's legendarily bad. But there the Dodgers Shoe Oltani,
Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Bets in the first two games
of the National LEGU Championship Series on the road are
batting one twenty five against Milwaukee pitching. I know Freddy
Freeman at a home runner. Tony did have an RBI
(16:51):
Ribby hit here in Game two, but that is whack
a doodle is what that is. That's the nature of us.
As John Sterling would say, that's baseball, Susan. The Dodgers'
top hitter's not hitting there, and the Dodgers this is
the issue. Though, I totally understand why people are upseting.
I mean, I'm not upset, obviously, I like the Dodgers
(17:11):
and all that stuff. But the Dodgers will, like the
United States Navy, by land, by sea, by air, whatever
it takes, right, whatever it takes. And this is why
there's so much animosity, and this thing's gonna get really
are this continues for the playoffs and the Dodgers win
two more games and then beat Seattle in the World Series.
It is really gonna blow the top off. It's a
(17:32):
tinderbox right now. Oh, it's up so tired.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
They're running baseball. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Polite society does not appreciate the monster mashing on the
mound that's going on for the Dodgers. And they do
come in convoys like so the top guys aren't hitting
the tail, Hernandez gets some big hits, and Key k
Hernandez and this guy and that guy and all that stuff.
I'm telling you, if this continues, major League Baseball is
heading towards a point of demarcation here where the halves
(17:59):
versus the half notch, and they are going to make
it like Nascar. They're gonna put restrictor plates on what
you can spend and how you can spend it, and
they are going to deball the Dodgers. So my advice
to my fellow Dodger Officionatos is enjoy this because in
a couple of years there's gonna be a work stoppage
and they're gonna cut your balls off and you're gonna
(18:21):
have to trade some of these guys. I'm telling you,
it's gonna be ugly because the Dodgers are too good
and people are annoyed by It's also annoying that they
don't give a rats ass about the regular season. It's
disgusting makes me want to puke in my mouth that
these guys lolligag during the regular season and then just
show up in October and now here we go.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
All right, now, is the NLCS over right? Is it over?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Let's take the temperature in the room. But the temperature
in the room is obviously luke warm. Is the champagne
on ice for the Dodgers, Well, not quite yet. And
see the thing about this, and well, it certainly favors
the Dodgers done. It has happened in the past. Have
been teams, granted not many, that have come back in
this situation until you get that final out of the
(19:06):
closeout game.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
There is more work to be done obviously here. And
it's not over.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
There's a very fat woman somewhere who's warming up her
vocal cords getting ready to sing.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Here.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Dodgers, they got glass now coming in Game three and
he's got major choke itis. And you know they, from
what I've been told by people out there, they're afraid
to pitch him on the road because he's not that
tough a guy. He's kind of a softy, So they're
going to pitch him at home hoping that he'll be
okay there. So we'll see how that goes down. And
if they don't win Game three and then Altani doesn't
(19:35):
go more than six innings or something like that, they
got to go to the bullpen. Then the bullpen blows
up all of a sudden. It's it's tied up, but
the history says, well, it's not done done, but it's
kind of done at this point. And if you look
at it, since there is no such thing as momentum
in baseball, it's an eighty eight percent chance that tells
you what has happened, not what's going to happen. But
(19:57):
the Brewers have a golden opportunity. So if I was
on the Brewer side, the golden opportunities rather obvious. Here,
you become an all time icon if you can be
on the team that comes back. There have been three
teams in the current format, the two three to two
format that have been able to come back, and they're
all iconic baseball teams. Depending how old you are, the
(20:17):
nineteen eighty five Kansas City Royal Steve Bye Bye Balboni,
and you think of George Brett, some of the legends,
Mukie Wilson, not Mokie Wilson, that was Willie Wilson on
that eighty five Royals team. In the eighty six Mets
had Mukie Wilson, they had Lenny Nails, Dykstra and legends
like Darryl Strawberry.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
And they, of course came back with the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
And you look at the the Jim Larretz nineteen ninety
six Yankees against the Atlanta Braves. Laborets hit this massive
home run. I think it was off Mark wohlders if
I remember in the nineteen ninety six World Series in Atlanta,
and that's an all time moment for that era of
Yankee baseball. And so you back a rattles tea. I
heard this somewhere along the way. You back a rat
that'll sneak into a corner and it strikes. Yeah, Now
(21:07):
what happens if you back a cornered brewer into a corner?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You know what happens? No, you ever heard of beer muscles? No,
you never heard of beer muscles.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Beer muscles are a thing, might shotgun a couple PBRs
and start throwing haymakers. Watch out all right again, just
all It takes one bad adding from Glassnow, Brewers win
that game. Tony goes five innings, you gotta go to
the bullpend Suzaki blows it and all of a sudden
we're dead up to two.

I have the lot and now back to it all right,
Late night drug Tester writes in and points out that
(24:31):
there was a full baseball monologue. He says, if the
MLB Playoffs keep giving us games that are boring to watch,
you may just have to start doing some hockey monologues.
Go Jets, Go Yes, that's always my default position.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I'll put my stick right in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I used to tell Eddie all the time, I said,
if the Gremlins ever attack Eddie, go do that Winnipeg
Jets monologue. Knock it out of the park. And we
never got that Winnipeg Jets monologue. Not a burner, right,
since says Ben, I have a helpful PSA for the
malord militia, it's the most wonderful time of the year
to go on a blankety blank blank blank blank blank blank.
(25:10):
I'm pretty sure that Hayes. That's why Hayes hasn't called,
so he thinks that Hayes is out doing what Hayes
many of you think Hayes does. Hayes calls once every
two or three months, and most likely once every three months.
I know he's listing Hayes at what's going on there?
I have no ideas.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
An interesting time takes the body to decompose, is that right?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Okay, that's kind of what not a burner was talking
about there. Well, he works at a he works at
a cemintery.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Oh okay, right, right right. Coop thinks he might have
a side hustle, but that's his you know, No, I
was just referring to the whole the mortuary thing. Okay,
I got you. Yeah, sure, Yeah, that's why they have
the freezers there to put the bodies in there, the cadavers.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah, Firg Duck says, I'm calling it now. Men, the
Dodgers are your twenty twenty five World Series champions. Nobody's
beating them. Not the Cheeseheads, not the Big Dumper, definitely
not Team Canada. There's no team that's going to beat them.
There's no reason to wait any longer. Okay, So I
don't have to watch that. That's great. I don't need
to watch King Rory from the Belly of the Beast
(26:12):
in Wisconsin, says Will Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto's arms
be reattached in time for the World Series. I'm not
counting my Brewers out yet, he says King Rory, because
it is the best of seven. But if they can't
get the Dodgers bullpen early and often, then it's pretty
much over.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I love optimism. He's trying to be.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
He's hoping to be optimistic Scott right, since says in
the playoffs Showhy is the kershaw of hitters. Don't say that, Scott.
You're not allowed to say anything mean about Kershaw. The
Kershaw cult, those that have been indoctrinated into the belief
that Clayton Kershaw is the baseball Jesus, get very uposte.
(26:58):
I'm still getting angry mess just from a monologue I did.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
He can do.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I know, I know, it's it's amazing. So I did
members like the end of the regularly.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
It was the day they dug up the mound the
ceremonial dug you remember, it was the dumbest thing I've
ever seen the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
It's so embarrassing, and they wanted to dig a hole.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
They dug the mound up after Kershaw's last start because
I would have dug the mound up after his last
start in the playoffs when he started that game against
the Diamondbacks and it was over right after the stealth
bomber flyover.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Because he was over so bad.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
This sucks so much in big games, and these Kershaw
people have been brainwashed and they they will not allow it,
and they're like the messages.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Are like, well, I used to like you, but I
love God. I love those messages.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Oh, I used to like your show. But you said
something I don't agree with, So it's over. Yeah, nature
Boy writes in, answering the call to the while these
says it's not over until the Fat Muncie does Dodger
jazz hands and a lot of a lot of jazz
jazz hands, a lot of that going on with get
(28:04):
a lot of that tiger Man in Utah. We met him,
good the good man Tiger Ma. It's been to the
mallor meet and greeting there in Vegas. He says, I
was getting worried about Kaitlin Clark not being in your
lineup for a while. Now, Ben, glad, glad we can
turn that page there. Yeah, yeah, there was a little
reference later on interesting story I go where the news
of the day takes us. Yeah, Parito writes in, and
(28:26):
he says, a time to get serious about waking up
Otani's bat. I'm switching from rum to saki. And he's
got a shrine. He's got a shrine to try to
get this thing straight. Now, JJ from Renton says Ben,
So you're saying that the Mariners don't have a bullpen
to match the Dodgers. Now, I'm not worried about the Mariners,
(28:48):
JJ and Robbie the Marining fan and crying Craig and
all you other you know who's ben at the comedian.
I'm not worried about them yet. I'm not because you
gotta you get that one more, one more game situation.
The specialist says the Brewers are not the same without
the Hebrew Hammer. Was that the single greatest lying episode
(29:12):
in baseball? Now, there's been a lot of liars in baseball.
Remember when the Hebrew Hammer got up there and said,
oh yeah, yeah, that drug test that I failed? That
was that poor delivery driver. That was the guy the
chain of custody. That's the guy that effed up. And then,
of course it turned out was not.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Exactly the guy that effed up because he had been
doing the needle in the toukis, Well, sometimes you eat
too any poppy seeds, Ben?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Yeah? Okay, sure come up negative on a positiology. My
dad used to use that joke all the time. He
loved the bagels.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
He's I could fail a drug test. Yes I know,
but you know it's true, isn't it. That's what they say,
But you know I hear it every time. You know,
it's okay, I get it. I got the joke. I'm
okay with it. I'm fine. Scrooge, who's in the younger
demo in the Bay Area, says it would be insane
if the Mariners beat the Dodgers the World Series. I
don't think seen is the right word for that, but
(30:03):
I don't think you have to worry about that happening.
Let's go to John. I can't get a guy in
Milwaukee to call. I don't blame him. I'd be in
hiding two if I was a Brewers fan, very embarrassing.
If the Brewers were up to oh, it would be
nothing but brewer talk. But let's go to John, who's
in the great state of Maine. I gotta go all
the way to Maine to get hot brewer talk.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Hello, John, Welcome, Hey mister Maylor.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
How are you doing to night?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
If I was any better, I'd be a Brewer, but
not a Milwaukee Brewer. They're not good.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
I grew up in Wisconsin, and the America's team to
me is the nineteen eighty US hockey team that beat
the Russians. So there is no America's team but them.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
So okay, that's rather interesting. I don't know, did I mention.
Did I ever say America's team? I don't recall mentioning
America's team. Did I say that it's an America?
Speaker 6 (30:56):
Okay, No, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
I just wanted to said thank you for making the
Brewers sound like an actual team. Instead shout show up
and just give the Dodgers their trophy and just go
in the corner and cry.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
It's pretty much.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Hold.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
How did you end up in Maine from You're from Wisconsin?
Speaker 5 (31:23):
What what?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
What took you in life to the state of me.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
I served eighteen years in the military, so I was
all over the place and uh then I ended up
getting down in South Carolina. My wife died, bought an
r V, and I became a travel ct tech. So
traveled across the states looking for a new home. Yeah,
got to New England and.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Here I am fell in love and you're never leaving.
You're never you love it. It's great. You call that bar,
You're like, I'm not. I'm not in prison. I can
go anywhere I want, leave anything I want to do.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Yes, I got the camper's right out back, I got
it filled up. Oh great, Yeah, if things get too
tough at the hospital, I'll find another hospital to work in.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Okay, I got you, now I have.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I did a Mallard meet and greet in Portland, Maine,
and I was told by people that live in Maine
that's fake Maine. I was told that the listeners I
met apparently aren't really real main people, that the real
Maine is up the road, and that Portland, Maine is
just a little tourist town that people from like Boston
drive up to. But it's not really, it's not legit,
(32:36):
you know.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
That's what you got to get up here? By Lincoln.
That's only about the twenty miles from the Canadian border.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
So oh man, you're way You're way up there. You're
way way up there.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
That's like a full day of driving, is what that is?
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Man?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
All right, all right, Joe, Well thanks for listening. Man,
I appreciate thank you. All Right, there's a John and Maine.
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Howd he end up twenty miles from the Canadian border
in Maine? He just told you right there. A lot
of things happen in life. Guy ends up all of
a sudden, he's at a hospital twenty miles from all Canada,
and he's calling up an overnight radio show talking Brewers baseball.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
There was history. Maybe it was a bunch of history,
baseball history. It's not like real history, but baseball history.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
And one of the things there the Dodgers the first
team in baseball history to throw and win a complete
game in the postseason but not have thrown any in
the regular season. They had no complete games during the
regular season. You understand how little they cared about the
(33:42):
regular season, no complete games out of an abundance of caution.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
And then they get to the World Series.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Now and there you go, not the World Series, the NLCS,
which is two wins away from the World Series, and
the Dodgers get a complete game, first time that's happened.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
In baseball history.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Time now for the who am I Game? And we'll
get to the play of the day as well. Here's
the who am I?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Game?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
And this is where I pretend to be somebody else.
So this is the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Now back to back who dominating starts in a playoff series.
This is the first time the Doyers got consecutive postseason
starts of eight plus innings since Oral Herscheizer and me
did it in back to back games again, first time
the Dodgers got consecutive postseason starts of eight plus innings
(34:31):
since oral. Herscheizer and me, Who who am I? That
is the question. If you know the answer, you think
you're a little smart guy over there, hit me up
on X at Ben Mahler and we'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
We will do it.

Good to have you hanging out with us as we

never ever closes. Now back to it, back to it.
Phones are packed, so stay online there, do not hang up,
or we will never allow you to call the show again. However,
time now before we get to the who am I Game?
Speaker 5 (36:24):
For?
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Was that too harsh?
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I don't think that was too harsh. Before we get
to the payoff on the who am I Game? Here
is the play of the y. Now, it's not just
any play of the day. No, no, we can do
any play of the day, but no, this is special
because this is the tire act play of the day
and it was Dodger playoff history in Milwaukee. At the plate,
swaiton on one of those big Max Munsey swings another
(36:49):
three to two pitch.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
On the way, Munsey hits one in the air center
field tree lick. He is at the wall. This ball
is out of hair. There's that big all right. No
mention that he's now the Dodgers' all time playoff home
run leader. I guess good editing.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
There, but there it is Max Munsey with his fourteenth
career playoff home run, as called by Steven Elson there
on Am five to seven in LA the short version.
Max Munsey now in sole possession of the LA Dodgers
franchise record for.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
The most postseason home runs as a Dodger.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
And this is a proof of quantity over quality, that
they play more playoff games and that it's like all
those NBA records that have been broken in the postseason
because they kept adding rounds of the playoffs. But Max
Munsey a four hundred four foot home run, I believe
it was.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yes, Oh no it was.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
I see a little lesson that he grounded into a
double play that was four hundred and four feet, But
Max Munsey getting it done there for the Dodgers. That
is the ti Iraq play of the day. For over
forty years told us a long time, ti Iraq has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive. Ship fast and free back by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
(38:03):
tire installation, tirerac dot Com.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
The way tire buying should be. That leads us into
the who am I? Game? This is where I pretend
to be somebody else? As we call it the who
am I? Gaming?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Here we go, So this game in the NLCS Game two,
this is the first time the Dodgers have gotten consecutive
postseason starts Tonight Blake SNeW bro I'm risking my liverawl
in Game one and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game two. First
time the Dodgers have gotten consecutive postseason starts of eight
plus innings since way back when oral Hrscheizer and me
(38:38):

Speaker 2 (38:39):
