Speaker 1 (00:00):
Talk and Bay's Ball. It's our number one. Happy, Happy Friday.
It is the tenth day of October, and you have
stumbled onto the Ben Maler Show podcast, a baseball heavy hour,
a couple of things for you to keep an eye on,
and we'd love to have you help us out a
little bit this weekend. That would be really cool and
it won't cost you any money. We have the Fifth
(00:22):
Hour podcast that'll be up a little bit later today.
The fifth Hour podcast might be up already right now.
I don't know. A fifth hour podcast where we tell
a story about the very rude rent, a cop who
was not happy, got very upset with yours, truly behind
the scenes story. There the great meet and greet that
was almost averted because of the person who's a loser,
(00:45):
and I will expose them on the Fifth Hour podcast.
Also Penny Versus the Penny, We're one and oh. This
week we gave you the game. Last night we gave
you the Giants over the Eagles. A full episode on
the YouTube channel Bennie Vspenny at Benny vs. Penn on YouTube.
Want to have you watch that as well. And here
in hour number one, it's baseball. Is it Unfair? To
(01:06):
put the Philadelphia Phillies loss on O'rian Kirkering, the relief pitcher,
who did the thing you can't do at the time,
You can't do it through the game away in the
eleventh inning. Also, what's the vibe around the Dave Roberts
Dodgers as they barely won they were given two runs
by Philadelphia and in the other match up the Cubs
have won. So where did things go wrong with the Brewers?
(01:29):
There will be a game five this weekend. All that
right now here. It is our number one. Now that
is how you end a playoff series. No, not the Dodgers,
the Phillies. Wow. Welcome in the beginning of another night
(01:53):
of the Ben Balor Show. We are in the air
eywhere in collaborations we play mind games. It's theater the mind,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On the
mast and flashly powerful microphones of fs are ammunating live
(02:14):
from the market. The flea market of hot takes is
open all night long from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios. As approved by Viva Los Vicki, Andrew in
Bakersfield and Manuel in Guardina. This portion of the Ben
Maler Show on Fox made possible in part my our
friends at tire rack. For over forty years, ty Iraq
(02:35):
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 makes mix out very happy,
the Alien o'puonter and Fergdog with convenient installation options like
mobile tire Installation, tire iraq dot com the way that
(02:56):
tire buying should be. Hope you're doing well. We're back
at it, say nightly talk show. Every night here, win,
lose or draw, good, bad or ugly. Things going on,
things not going on, and we sit in the big chair,
as our old morning guy Mark Patrick used to say
back in the day, and yap away yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
(03:16):
I guess a headline, headline and lead this hour is
oh Ryan, Oh no, oh Ryan, Oh no, oh, Ryan's belt.
If you will, what a what a night? If you
saw the baseball or not but a double barreled action,
one good game, one dog food game on the divisional
(03:36):
round card on a pretty good sporting day. Like if
you're into this kind of crap, right, if you're into
it and I'm into it and I assume you are too.
This is a good day. It's a good day. So yeah,
the Brewers and the Cubbies, now that was the nightcap.
That was the dud dud dud dud dud. Then you
had the Phillies earlier and the Dodgers that was the undercard.
(03:57):
And it's kind of like you do boxing. Itsicedly be
a huge im not huge boxing. I used to go
to boxing matches in Vegas and every once in a
while you'd go to a boxing match and the undercard
would upstage the main event and you'd be like, wow,
that that's not supposed to happen. Well, this was it
I heard the The assumption was they moved the Phillies
Dodgers game up because the Eagles were playing in the
(04:20):
NFL game. I guess they really wanted to make sure
the Philadelphia sports fans up both their teams suck. Anyway,
it turns out the game in LA did upstage the
matchup at the Friendly Confines there in Chicago. So that's
where we will begin again. If you saw any of
this stuff or not, maybe you were busy. I don't
know what you're doing. I'm not in your shoes, all right,
(04:41):
So We had an instant classic at Chavez Ravine. One
of those moments where years from now you'll be like, hey,
you remember that that JABEBROWNI that Schmendrick for the Phillies.
What's the guy's name that did the thing you can't
do at the time?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That guy? What's it? Yeah? The the game was tied
at one, it went to extra innings, the bases were lowered.
There were two outs in the eleventh inning, and the
Phillies had a relief pitcher, O'riyan Kirkering on the mound.
Not a household name he is now though, congratulations, you're
now a household name. O'Ryan so Oriyan Kirkering on the mound.
(05:21):
And there was a little tapper from Andy Piez back
to the mound, and he fielded the ball, bobbled it
and then threw it away right past home plate. We
could have thrown the first base, but instead he threw
it right there. Boom, a wild throw passed home plate
and after screwing it up and Andy Piez gets it
(05:45):
done a little comebacker like he was. He failed, but
yet succeeded with two outs in the eleventh inning, and
thanks to the generosity of the Philadelphia Phillies very charitable
in the city of brother in Law. The Dodgers escape,
they get a two to one win, and they have
decommissioned the fighting Phills. Not a nada. Go bye, See
(06:11):
you later, suckers. Where's your red October? Now? Now, the
story here is I mean, we know, I mean you know.
Oftentimes we'll come in here if you listen to the
show on a regular basis, if you listen to the
Ben Malor Show, we often come in here with a
knife and we play the blame game. We cut up
the blame cheese steak, or we blame you know this,
(06:32):
that and the other thing. There's no need to play
that game, like, we don't need to play the game.
We know where the blame is on this. The blame
is rather obvious. It's right between your eyes here. So
the pitcher O'Ryan kirkering on the mound, he hung his
head in shame. There he put his hands down on
his knees after his throat sailed away, sailing away right
(06:54):
past J. T Va Muto the catcher there as the
pinch runner came home to score the comet across the
plate there, and he actually missed the plate Kim and
then had to go back and touch the plate that
the Dodgers are onto the National League Championship Series. They
have to wait till this weekend because the Chicago Cubs
pummeled the Brewers and so the Cubbies are staying alive
(07:16):
and there will be a deciding Game five on Saturday.
So I don't know if you want to watch that
or just watch college football, but yeah, I'll check it out.
Game five. That's good. Somebody's gonna be somebody's gonna be
very upset at the end of that game. As I've
often said, the better story is in the losing locker room.
And one of the mantras is that and another mantras,
most games are lost, not one. This is a great example.
(07:39):
This is a textbook example of the ethos of the
Ben Mathers Show. Most of the time a game is
lost because someone's a complete f up like this game,
and what happened, as we discussed this game is immediately
instead of just accountability and you know, I know you
didn't try to suck O'Ryan Kokering, but just sucked. And
(08:02):
that's it. No, everyone's got our circle of the wagons.
It's not his fault. Oh no, no, it's such bulk.
Let's hear from Rob Thompson, the manager of the Philadelphia Phillies,
chiming in on all of this. You little taste of
what it was like. Take as Rob obviously a heartbreaking
we to lose. Get a long conversation with Oryan coming
(08:23):
off the field. Do you want to share a little
what you told him?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Or just to keep his head up? And he just
got caught up in the moment a little bit coming
down the stretcher. He picked so well for us, and
I feel I feel for him because he's he's putting
it all on his shoulders. But we went as a
team and we lose as a teams.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
All right? That quote right there is the money quote.
So let us discuss the question. Is it unfair to
put the Philadelphia Phillies loss on o'rian kirkering? Is it unfair?
So my thoughts in this, I've got Jet Blue, who
Roberto and Butterball and we will throw all of these
things together and we are gonna yackety yack under the
(09:04):
cover of darkness. So a my position, is it unfair
to put all of this on the Phillies picture? It
would be an injustice, not to blame him like you
would live in a parallel universe. And life is not
always fair. We know that, right, And you've got your problems.
I've got my problems. But O'Ryan Kirkering, the picture here
melted down like a cheap soft pretzel left out in
(09:28):
the hot summer on Broad Street. You know, sometime late July,
early August, the moment was too big. He cracked, couldn't
handle it. He had tight took a syndrome. He choked.
Call like it is, don't lie, don't pretend, don't don't
do that crap. This was not some quirky bad hop.
It was not. It was a routine play a big
(09:49):
league player makes one hundred percent of the time. It
wasn't the baseball gods playing some kind of evil trick
on this Philadelphia Phillies picture. No, no, no, no, He
flat out choked. He sucked at a time you cannot suck.
And fortunately for him, he decided he wanted to go
on vacation, O Ryan Kirker. He went down to the airport.
(10:09):
He got a one way ticket from Jet Blue and
the destination Panic City. Because he panicked, baby, And you know, again,
don't give me the we win as a team, we
lose as a team. Crap, I don't hear that garbage. Please.
You know who didn't lose the game. You can say, well,
Bryce Harfer sucked in this series, that's true, but he
didn't throw the He didn't throw the ball away. Kyle
(10:29):
Schwarber hit some home runs the other day, but didn't
do much else. Kyle Schwarber didn't throw the ball away.
You know who did throw the ball away. You want
to take a guess, ding ding ding, ding ding ding. Yes, Oh,
Ryan Kirkering threw the ball away. That's on him. It's
not little league. He's a you know, grown up young man.
It's on him, all right. This wasn't a bad inning.
(10:51):
This is a career tattoo. Congratulations. You have now been branded.
No matter whether you stay in Philadelphia, you go play
for the Red Sox or the Diamondbacks, or the Mariners,
the Marlins, or the Twins or the a holes in Houston,
it doesn't matter. You have now gotten that tattoo right
(11:11):
on your forehead, and for better or worse, that sticks
with you forever. There's no removing that tattoo. Right. It's
not now, it's not all bad news because from an
unstandim and this source is not close to the situation,
the Phillies are already planning a concession item to honor
a Ryan Kirkering for the twenty twenty sixth season. They're
(11:32):
going to be serving up at the snack bar there
artichoke sandwiches, because that is the official vegetable of O'Ryan,
the artichup.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
He becomes now the hunchback of the Delaware Valley, and
Philadelphi is gonna eat him alife like they do not
hand out. Hey, you know you tried a good job
by you, you ribbons. After that, you know they chuck
batteries at you. And all that mattered was what happened
in that moment, right didn't Matt? You said, well, they
(12:04):
were terrible, the Phillies' offense. I agree with you. They
were bad. But the game was even up. There were
two outs. You get the hitter out, Andy Pyez, the
game continues. You live to play another day or in
this kiss, another inning. And the game was in his hands.
He was on the mound, Oryan Kirkering, and he rode
the vomit comet he did. It was early to ride
(12:25):
the vomit come up. But he wrote the vomit comment.
He is going to wear that for the rest of
his big league career. He will become again the answer
to well, who am I game? Who was the numb
nuts pitcher that threw the game away for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Now you think about the context of this as well,
how does this loss? Here's another question, how does this
loss change things going forward for the Phillies. So we
(12:46):
have the multiverse in play, all right, there was a
dimension here where the Phillies go on and come back
and win Game five this weekend in Philly and then
go on to the NLCS and then the World Series,
and then they win the championship and everyone celebrates and
it's his sclories. However, that did not happen in this
(13:07):
part of the multiverse. The shelf life has run out,
the bread has become moldy. This was the last best
chance for this core group to win a championship, and
the ball was in the hands of Oryan Kirkering, and
he chucked it past the catcher. Good afternoon, good evening,
and good night. Turn out the lads, the parties over
(13:32):
see you later. And the thing is and you know it.
Every man, woman and child knows it. The Dodgers were vulnerable.
They were plumped for the taken. You know it, and
I know it. Bryce Harper, he becomes a year older now,
he'll be thirty three next season, thirty four by next October.
During the playoff run. He's no longer in his athletic prime.
(13:52):
You've got big time free agents. Jt Ria Muto, who
was on the receiving end of the wild throw that
sailed past him. The catcher, the slugger, Kyle Schwarber, he's
selling some shore bombs and then maybe the pentagonal by
him and then Ranger Suarez. They're all free agents. That's
an old core, oldest in baseball. What a mess. Now,
(14:14):
I do like Dave Dombrowski, the GM there and he's
gonna have to work like a ninja to keep this
group together. And you know it's a it's a good
town when the Phillies are winning. They packed the place
there at Citizens Bank Park. But man, what a debacle.
What a royal f up. And one guy, one guy
(14:35):
f the whole thing go up. The whole thing goes
to flames. Now on the other side, turning the page,
here the question on this one is what is the
vibe around the Dave Roberts Dodgers like it's you can't
really feel that great ken ye? I mean you talk
about the definition of better to be lucky than good,
and that's exactly what that smelled like. You smell that, Yeah,
(14:58):
my goodness. You could feel the universe trying to send
this thing to a game five. And the Dodgers were
like our guy that left the show, Roberto. They were
driving the struggle bus, the much ballyhooed Big Three show.
He O Tani greatest player ever? Rookie Bets? Do I
(15:18):
have to apologize for Rookie Betsy? Freddie Freeman, I believe
my math is right. I used some malt math on this.
They batted a collective one fifty a womp. You talk
about sucking a horrific one sixty eight for fifty against
the Philadelphia Affilies. That's the Big Blue wrecking crew, my
fat ass, that's the big Blue wrecking crew. They were
(15:41):
teetering on the brink. They were wobbling around like a
guy on a unicycle trying to drive through a hurricane.
And hey, this again, they're lucky. The box score doesn't
charge rent for squatting. There were a lot of squatters
in there, a lot of floaters and the Dodgers and
Niemik Allen scored two runs in a closeout game, one
(16:02):
on a basis loaded walk he paces load of walk
to Mookie bats and the other which ended it the
throwing air by O'Ryan kirkering on the Andy Piez forty
foot bouncer. That is not manufacturing runs. That is like
walking around the parking lot at Disneyland and finding a
twenty dollars bill is essentially what you did. That's a
(16:23):
guardian angel in Dodger blue. That's lessorda looking down from
Blue Heaven doing CPR on your postseason run. Here they
were bailed out. That is a government government like bail
out here. Now, I will say it's not all bad.
On a positive note, Roki Sazaki has become a glue
guy in the Dodger bullpen, he was he was outstanding
(16:45):
yet again the bullpen which has duck tape and it's
got police tape around it as well. Man, are they bad?
Just a bad group. But Suzaki came in there and
all of a sudden, and when he's on the mound,
it's like everything's good, everything's great, We got this. As
long as the starters can go seven innings, they'll be fine.
(17:05):
But Sazaki with ice water, that's what you want, right
That's what the other guys had resumes where they had
no pulse on the mound. But Tazaki's living it right now.
And you know, if this series turns, he's the guy.
He's the reason it turned now. And really that's kind
of the thing that's the vibe the story of this
Dodger team, the greatest team ever assembled. But yet you
(17:27):
look at this team the way they played for Dave Roberts,
despite the payroll and all the star power and all
the sizzle, they're never clean. It's never pretty. It's stumbling
into the bar at one point fifty nine in the morning,
and somehow walking out with a win is what it is.
And you just you can't rely on cosmic breaks forever.
(17:49):
You can't do it. It's working right now. It's just like
a cosmic accident, all right. Quickly, last where we go
down to Chicago the late game where Matthew Boyd Boyd
was he good, pitched a two hit stratch, he went
into the fifth inning the whole game, but that's modern baseball.
Pitched a two hit ball into the fifth inning, and
(18:10):
the Chicago Cubbies they put the Milwaukee Brewers' lineup into
a chokehold six to nothing in a game that didn't
even see him that close on a chilly Thursday night
in Chicago. There they pushed the divisional series all the
way back up what ninety some on miles up I
ninety four to Milwaukee for a decisive Game five this
(18:33):
weekend is Ian Happ, Kyle Tucker, and Michael Bush, the
ex Dodger all homer for the Cubbies there and the
crowd there, they were having a rollicking good time at
Wrigley Field. They were dancing in the aisles there. It
was great. It was wonderful. You know why they were
dancing because Rignyfield is a playground for the blank blanks.
(18:54):
Eighty five percent of the world's working. The other fifteen
percent come out here. It's a blank blank that's the Cubs. Yeah,
that is the Cubs. So the Cubs were on the
brink of elimination after they've lost those first two games
in the NLDS there in Milwaukee and look like they
were not supposed to be on the same field, but
they held on the other night on Wednesday, And so
(19:14):
now here we are Boyd good and the relievers good
as well. And so next up the finale, best of five,
back in Milwaukee again, Saturday night. Tickets are not available.
I think Marlin's Man is going to be there. He
was debating whether or not to go. But there's no
other game that day, so I'm assuming Marlin's Man, my
buddy's gonna be there. He was in Chicago for the game.
He'll be in. I don't know if he's gonna be
(19:34):
to seat. He said he's thinking about going out to
Seattle for the game here on Friday night. But the
winner of that series between the Cubs and the Brewers
will take on the Doyers and that'll be in the NLCS.
Coming up your better story again, losing a locker room.
So the questions rather obvious. Where have things gone haywire?
Where have things gone wrong? For the Brewers? So, watching
(19:55):
this game, this was from the Milwaukee side of things,
I call this a butter ball game. It was an
absolute turkey. You win ninety seven games, you had the
top record in the sport, and when you're out there
and this is a close out game. You've had two
close out games here. The lights are bright, the stage
(20:16):
is all yours right there. You want that national attention
and your little Milwaukee and you go out there and
you're in the witness protection program. Least your bats are
three hits, three hits all night. Three hits was Greg
Maddox pitching for the Cubs, one for thirteen with runners
in scoring position over the two games at Wrigley. That's
(20:37):
not playoff baseball. That is a hostage situations what that is.
And they were literally drowning up there. It wasn't an offense.
It was a clogged toilet. They didn't have a plunger,
and they could not hit water. As the line goes,
they couldn't hit water. If they fell out of a
boat and into Lake Michigan, they wouldn't be able to
hit water there. So the brew crew who left more
(21:00):
guys stranded than Spirit airlines during a snowstorm, was it
thirteen as we said, thirteen left on base in the
two games. That is malpractice, played like a bunch of mamlukes. Now,
the good news is, despite what every ex jock and
meatthead athlete likes to say, there is no such thing
as momentum. It doesn't matter. If there was momentum, the
Brewers would have eliminated the Cubs because they had all
(21:21):
the momentum they had won the first two games in Milwaukee.
But there is no momentum. It was so funny because
I was watching some of the coverage of the Phillies
and the Dodgers and the lead in the pregame stuff.
If you're signing this, it's not very entertaining. But I
was watching it, and they're like, oh, the Phillies have
the momentum. Now you know they won, they dominated the Dodgers.
You know they're scaringly. Really, there is no such thing.
(21:45):
Why do people keep repeating something that's not true. I
don't understand. I don't get it. I don't understand. It
is the ban mallor show. If you would like to
be part. It is an interactive show. It does not
have to be it does not have to be plenty
of content here we were filled to the brim with content.
We don't need to take calls. But the bosses say, hey,
(22:06):
why don't you take calls? I said, well, do we
have to say yeah anyway?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
And why not?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
We're not paying you to have guests. You a lot
of these daytime shows, they have a budget, they get
paid guests. We have no budget. No, we don't get
bogged down by a budget. So we we open up
the phones. If you would like to be part eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox operators aren't standing my
And of course we have the finger on the pulse
of the sporting world. But you might think are our
(22:31):
fingers on the wrong part of the body? Eight seven
seven nine nine six six three six nine Also on
X at Ben Malor. That's at Ben Malor. If you
would like to be part of the program. And now
that is that is the way that you would expect
to leave a ballpark. That is a way you would
(22:53):
expect to leave a ballpark. We'll get to that and
we will do it next.
Speaker 2 (22:58):

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Bill Miller and you. It is the Ben Mahler Show,
the Red Eye Flight. As we are in the cockpit
flying the Red Eye Flight all night long and good
to have you along for the ride. We have not
reached our creusing altitude yet, so please stay calm and
stay seated. We'll let's you know when we turn off
the fast and seatbelt sign. In the meantime, we'll take
(23:54):
your phone calls. At eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox,
we have a problem, well usill has a lot of problems,
but we have here on the radio in the Magic
Radio Box. We have plenty of time and it's the
Baseball Hour as we talk about the National League Baseball playoffs.
We have two slots left. Half of the final four
(24:17):
is set. The Dodgers are into the Final four yet again.
I know you're impressed, and they will play the winner
of the Brewers and the Cubs. And then you've got
in the American League Toronto. They're waiting to find out
who they are going to play, whether it be Detroit
or Seattle. And as I've been getting email from our
friends in Seattle, and they've already eliminated the Mariners. That's
(24:41):
the vibe I'm getting. The long suffering Seattle sports fan
has already determined the Mariners have no chance to win.
But it's the Baseball Hour again, eighty seven to seven
ninety nine on Fox AW. And you can send us
a message on x at Bean mallor that's at Ben
mahlor Lorraine, FSR, Tech Queen and pop a loop at
uh Brocco Fan. Your comments can and we'll be used
(25:02):
against you in the court of sports radio, so please
act accordingly. Now back to it marked the full name
guy who is retired as a caller. He cannot handle
the grind of overnight talk radio. It's not easy to
be a celebrity caller. It's not. I mean, there's a
lot of these guys have breakdowns. They can't handle it.
(25:23):
They send me crazy emails. They end up having to
block them because they're lunatics. And that's just there's a
lot of that, and that goes on. Now, Mark the
Full Name Guy, he's one of them, and he says,
you said theater of the Mind, what mind? You must
have gotten your brains from doctor Frankenstein. Now there's some
irony in that because Mark the Full Name Guy kind
(25:45):
of looks like Frankenstein at this point. So it's an
odd situation. I'm just saying I love him, but you know,
he's my friend. Me and Mark the Full Name Guy,
we go way back him, him and I. He used
to live in the Tenderloin district in San Francisco back
in the day and called the sh I lived in
Santa Barbara. I know, I feel like the last fifteen
years he's called the show a ferg dog writes, and
he says, great job taking the giants and the points.
(26:07):
On Benny Versus the Penny, I was able to cash
that bet at halftime. Your picks are putting my wife's
kids through college. Well that's a little much. So it's
a little much for a dog. But we did have
that game right. So if you watched Benny Versus the
Penny on YouTube and you followed the wisdom, the advice,
the knowledge of not the Penny, but Benny, you ended
(26:29):
up winning that although at halftime it was was it
twenty to seventeen? It was a close game, the Eagles
decided I guess they didn't need to play the second half.
We'll talk more about that game next hour. But the
Giants with a blowout win over the once proud Philadelphia Eagles.
One of the worst days in Philadelphia's sports history the
last twenty five years or so. This is grave if
you love Shotenfreude, the long suffering I said that the
(26:51):
Phillies they won that that long ago. Obviously, Eagles just
won this past year. But the long suffering Philadelphia sports fan,
what a day. They were like, Oh, we're gonna get
a game five, the Philly is gonna beat the Dodgers.
I was getting all these idiots that listened to the
show in the Philadelphia area. They were sending me trash
talk emails. Hey your Dodgers, right, and uh and so
(27:14):
how did that work out? Not good? And then the
Eagles they just expect. You always expected to beat the
Giants because the Giants suck, and you always assume you're
gonna beat the Giants. I did want to know the
next episode of Bennie versus the Penny the full bit.
I was so busy watching the the games. We have
the episode done. I'm gonna post it in the morning
on our YouTube channel, Benni Vspenny, Fergdug, So you're gonna
(27:36):
want to watch that early in the morning. Nolf and
all the you know, you know who you are watched
the show and so we did not have chance to
post it because I was trying to watch. I was
trying to explain them to my wife. I said, I'm
supposed to watch three games that are all kind of
going on at the same time, and I have I
got like one TV and I got I got one
remote control, and I'm supposed to watch three things. So
(27:57):
I'm trying to flip around. I'm like, I kind of
know how long the commercial breaks are in baseball. It's
about two minutes, so I know, I've got two minutes.
But then you flip to the football game and then
there's like there's they're in a commercial, so then you
got to go back and then there's another game because
the Dodger game, you know, went to wait late, and
so there's a lot of stuff going on. A lot
of stuff going on. Ryan writes in in a long time.
(28:17):
Listening to the show in San Diego, he says the
Dodgers should have lost just by the dumb pitching move
by Dave Roberts. Glass Now two hits eighty three pitches.
You gotta pull him for the scrub bullpen. Once glass
Now was pulled, you could see what was going to
happen in braille for the next inning. Well, I don't
(28:38):
know if you saw the full story on that, Ryan,
but this classic modern modern baseball, modern baseball. Again, this
is one thing that's changed in my lifetime. There was
a point where you were just expected to crank it
up and go to the next level and just rub
some dirt on it and take some pharmacy great ibuprofen,
and go out there and just get it done. Uh.
(29:01):
And the report out of the Dodger clubhouse once they
were done getting drunk on champagne yet again, how many
champagne celebrations do you have to have? So they celebrated
when they clinched the playoff spot, they celebrated. I guess again,
did they celebrate again when they won the West? Did
they celebrate that again? And then they celebrated after the
wild card thing against Cincinnati, and now they've celebrated against Philadelphia,
(29:24):
and then they'll do it again if they win the
National League Pennant, and then again if they win the
World Series. It's like every every week they got a celebration. Anyway,
Tyler Glass Now left a playoff game, season potentially on
the line, right, you know, you know, do you likely
lose a game five? You likely lose a game five
back in Philly, and Glass Now left the game because
he had cramps. Now there's a joke there, but I,
(29:47):
you know, I don't want to get you know, I
don't want to get in trouble. But there's you know,
there's obvious a joke you can make, and we would
have made that joke in the nineties of the early
two thousand, but I don't know that I need to
make that joke. And just by saying what the joke is,
you know what the joke is. So I don't need
to say the joke because you're aware of the joke,
and so we're good. Freddie writes and says, I agree
that Dodgers really got lucky, disappointing starting three, all that
(30:08):
money and they could not hit the ball. Mister Luciano
rights in He's says ten out of ten on the
Mallar monologue, I agree with you, mister Maler. It was
the pitcher's fault that caused the Phillies to lose. The
moment was too big for him. By the way, who
are you rooting for for the Cubbies or the He
says the Cubbies are the Brewers? Well, I don't know
(30:31):
rooting is the right word. The Dodgers should be whoever
wins between these two. The Brewers are more of a
pesky team, and that's the kind of team that really
will f over the Dodgers. I think the Cubs are
more manageable for the Dodgers. I think the Brewers would
actually give the Dodgers more problems. But we'll see the
(30:51):
way the Dodgers. They got like two guys that you
trust in the bullpen, and that's it. Malard prop guy
writes in Hell is the twenty twenty four Malord palouzas
seat Philly. We got to get him back in here
at some point, and he says another A plus ten
out of ten on the Mallard monologue, do you think
Fats in Philly is drafting a manifesto to protest the
(31:12):
game because the man fraud ghost runner was not deployed
in extra innings in this series. If they put Casper
at second base, the Phillies would have surely won the game. Yeah,
I'm sure there somebody spy complaining at Major League Baseball. Well,
the game went too long and we had the other game,
and we can't have that happen. We got to do
it for TV. It's a bad job. Late night truck
(31:34):
tester says Marlin's Man in Milwaukee. Now two things behind
home plate distracting me from watching the game. His jersey
and that one woman keeping score in the front row
in the in the well, there was a Marlins Man impersonator,
Marlin's Man impersonator that was at the Dodger game. I
(31:55):
was texting Marlins Man. I said, Hey, his name's Lawrence.
But I said, hey, dude, there's some guy wearing your
stick out there at Dodger Stadium. And I guess that
guy lives in I think he lives in Northern California
and he goes to Giants games a lot. He's like
a Marlins Man impersonator. How about that he had a
Marlins Man in person But it was it was his birthday.
It was Marlin's man's birthday, and he spent it watching
(32:17):
a terrible game between the Cubs and the Brewers. Just
just a bad game all the way around. Yeah, donkey sauce,
it says, been any comments from the mayor of Philadelphia?
Do we have do we have the mayor? Go birds?
You know, let's go, let's go birds. Yeah. Well, Ryan
and San Diego got the joke that I was. I
did not make the joke, Ryan, I did not make
(32:39):
the joke. I thought about making the joke, but I
I did not make that joke. All right, let's go
to the phones and uh, let's say hello to mean
let's go to weed Man, hippie. Normally we talked to
weed Man for lame jokes a week, but he's calling
in early from Miami. Hello, weed Man, hippie. Welcome.

prank calling him. It's gonna be Lucky Tony and those
guys just playing gags on him. Does he realize that?
Is he aware of that idea? Okay, let's go bird.
(36:43):
That was every phone call if you were listening to
the show six seven years ago, that was every call
from weed Man. Hippie was Benny and the weed Man.
We're gonna go to Vegas and it's gonna be takeover
Vegas and Atlantic City, and it was it was great. Well,
it's kind of like a ticker tape parade living leaving
Yankee Stadium the other night, Vladimir Guerrero Junior. You'll see
(37:03):
this went viral here the Yankee fans decided they wanted
to celebrate. Now, Guerrero's never gonna play for the Yankees.
But when the Yankees win, not that it happens very
often anymore. They go through the Canyon of Heroes, right,
the Canyon of heroes, and they throw ticker tape and
all that. So when he was leaving the ballpark, Vladimir
Guerrero Junior's family they were being It was raining, raining
(37:29):
plastic bottles and cans as Vladimir made his way and
his family there made their way out of Yankee Stadium.
There the Vladimir Guerrero family was, it was raining down
trash there. So welcome to New York. Welcome to no
rats though although there were, I guarantee the arrest.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
I hate rats.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
They got the biggest rats in the world in New York.
Oh man, If you really want to see rats in
New York, go out around trash time. When they put
the trash out in the evening. That's where the really
big ones are time. Though, for the who am I game,
Phillies reliever O'Ryan Kirkering joined me is the only players
the only ones in baseball postseason history to commit a
walk off error to end the playoff series again. Philly's
(38:11):
reliever Oriyan Kirkering joined me. Is the only players in
Major League Baseball postseason history to commit a walk off error.
Who am I? That's the question? The answer. We'll get
to it. We'll do it next.
Speaker 2 (38:24):

All right, Back to a time for the play of
the day. There could only be one play of the day.
It's a boy. We love this play of the day
and sometimes we're scrambling coops like I don't know what
the plate that is. I don't know what it is either,
but the tire rack play of the day. Let's take
it at Dodger Stadium, the Phillies and Dodgers. Phillies trying
to get out of the inning in the eleventh and
(39:33):
play again in the twelfth, and Andy Piez was at
the plate, and then this.
Speaker 7 (39:37):
Happened, the old one swinging a broken back cutbacker Kirkering
knocks it down, picks it up, they hold to the
backstop and the season is over. Just rushing out past
O'Ryan Kirkering who stands put his hands on his knees.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Bent over. Yeah, you could tell the tone of the voice.
The Philly announcer thought he had won the game. I
didn't think they had won the game, but he thought, well,
the ending's over. He came back to the mount. That's
a basic play. That is the ti Iraq player today.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how what and where they
drive ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection
(40:17):
with convenience installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack
dot com. The way tire bind should be time quick
ray Time Now for the who am I? Game? Or
we pretend to be somebody else? And here is the
who am I? Game? That play as well. Philly's reliever
Oryan Kirkering joined me as the only players in baseball
postseason history to committe who walk off error? Who am I?
(40:40):
That's the question mark in Queens is going with Bill Buckner?
A lot of you, said Bill Buckner. Who else do
we have? Andy and Lionel Lakes as Bill Buckner? No
future Dodger? Cooha g from Ferd dog Y, A tittle
from Rob the goat Man, Billy Blank from Mister Irrigation,
Rose McCay, Who's thirty seven today? From Late Night Drug
(41:02):
Tester Don Slott? Good name, mister nice guy? That's his answer,
Senor Smoke, Juan Barren Gear from Eke, that's a good
one too, Greek freak Giannisty Dent to Coombo, Jonathan Brox
and your favorite fat ass from ELOI from Compton, What
say you? Lraae Will Farrell, No, it is actually Ruge
(41:22):
net or Door. The fuck your play was. In game six,
Ruge nut or Door attempted the double play. He made
an air there allowed the Blue Jays to sweep the Rangers.
And of course, when I think of Rude under or Door,
I think of the punch, the punch he threw against
Jose Bautista,
Talk and Bay's Ball. It's our number one. Happy, Happy Friday.
It is the tenth day of October, and you have
stumbled onto the Ben Maler Show podcast, a baseball heavy hour,
a couple of things for you to keep an eye on,
and we'd love to have you help us out a
little bit this weekend. That would be really cool and
it won't cost you any money. We have the Fifth
(00:22):
Hour podcast that'll be up a little bit later today.
The fifth Hour podcast might be up already right now.
I don't know. A fifth hour podcast where we tell
a story about the very rude rent, a cop who
was not happy, got very upset with yours, truly behind
the scenes story. There the great meet and greet that
was almost averted because of the person who's a loser,
(00:45):
and I will expose them on the Fifth Hour podcast.
Also Penny Versus the Penny, We're one and oh. This
week we gave you the game. Last night we gave
you the Giants over the Eagles. A full episode on
the YouTube channel Bennie Vspenny at Benny vs. Penn on YouTube.
Want to have you watch that as well. And here
in hour number one, it's baseball. Is it Unfair? To
(01:06):
put the Philadelphia Phillies loss on O'rian Kirkering, the relief pitcher,
who did the thing you can't do at the time,
You can't do it through the game away in the
eleventh inning. Also, what's the vibe around the Dave Roberts
Dodgers as they barely won they were given two runs
by Philadelphia and in the other match up the Cubs
have won. So where did things go wrong with the Brewers?
(01:29):
There will be a game five this weekend. All that
right now here. It is our number one. Now that
is how you end a playoff series. No, not the Dodgers,
the Phillies. Wow. Welcome in the beginning of another night
(01:53):
of the Ben Balor Show. We are in the air
eywhere in collaborations we play mind games. It's theater the mind,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On the
mast and flashly powerful microphones of fs are ammunating live
(02:14):
from the market. The flea market of hot takes is
open all night long from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios. As approved by Viva Los Vicki, Andrew in
Bakersfield and Manuel in Guardina. This portion of the Ben
Maler Show on Fox made possible in part my our
friends at tire rack. For over forty years, ty Iraq
(02:35):
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 makes mix out very happy,
the Alien o'puonter and Fergdog with convenient installation options like
mobile tire Installation, tire iraq dot com the way that
(02:56):
tire buying should be. Hope you're doing well. We're back
at it, say nightly talk show. Every night here, win,
lose or draw, good, bad or ugly. Things going on,
things not going on, and we sit in the big chair,
as our old morning guy Mark Patrick used to say
back in the day, and yap away yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
(03:16):
I guess a headline, headline and lead this hour is
oh Ryan, Oh no, oh Ryan, Oh no, oh, Ryan's belt.
If you will, what a what a night? If you
saw the baseball or not but a double barreled action,
one good game, one dog food game on the divisional
(03:36):
round card on a pretty good sporting day. Like if
you're into this kind of crap, right, if you're into
it and I'm into it and I assume you are too.
This is a good day. It's a good day. So yeah,
the Brewers and the Cubbies, now that was the nightcap.
That was the dud dud dud dud dud. Then you
had the Phillies earlier and the Dodgers that was the undercard.
(03:57):
And it's kind of like you do boxing. Itsicedly be
a huge im not huge boxing. I used to go
to boxing matches in Vegas and every once in a
while you'd go to a boxing match and the undercard
would upstage the main event and you'd be like, wow,
that that's not supposed to happen. Well, this was it
I heard the The assumption was they moved the Phillies
Dodgers game up because the Eagles were playing in the
(04:20):
NFL game. I guess they really wanted to make sure
the Philadelphia sports fans up both their teams suck. Anyway,
it turns out the game in LA did upstage the
matchup at the Friendly Confines there in Chicago. So that's
where we will begin again. If you saw any of
this stuff or not, maybe you were busy. I don't
know what you're doing. I'm not in your shoes, all right,
(04:41):
So We had an instant classic at Chavez Ravine. One
of those moments where years from now you'll be like, hey,
you remember that that JABEBROWNI that Schmendrick for the Phillies.
What's the guy's name that did the thing you can't
do at the time?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That guy? What's it? Yeah? The the game was tied
at one, it went to extra innings, the bases were lowered.
There were two outs in the eleventh inning, and the
Phillies had a relief pitcher, O'riyan Kirkering on the mound.
Not a household name he is now though, congratulations, you're
now a household name. O'Ryan so Oriyan Kirkering on the mound.
(05:21):
And there was a little tapper from Andy Piez back
to the mound, and he fielded the ball, bobbled it
and then threw it away right past home plate. We
could have thrown the first base, but instead he threw
it right there. Boom, a wild throw passed home plate
and after screwing it up and Andy Piez gets it
(05:45):
done a little comebacker like he was. He failed, but
yet succeeded with two outs in the eleventh inning, and
thanks to the generosity of the Philadelphia Phillies very charitable
in the city of brother in Law. The Dodgers escape,
they get a two to one win, and they have
decommissioned the fighting Phills. Not a nada. Go bye, See
(06:11):
you later, suckers. Where's your red October? Now? Now, the
story here is I mean, we know, I mean you know.
Oftentimes we'll come in here if you listen to the
show on a regular basis, if you listen to the
Ben Malor Show, we often come in here with a
knife and we play the blame game. We cut up
the blame cheese steak, or we blame you know this,
(06:32):
that and the other thing. There's no need to play
that game, like, we don't need to play the game.
We know where the blame is on this. The blame
is rather obvious. It's right between your eyes here. So
the pitcher O'Ryan kirkering on the mound, he hung his
head in shame. There he put his hands down on
his knees after his throat sailed away, sailing away right
(06:54):
past J. T Va Muto the catcher there as the
pinch runner came home to score the comet across the
plate there, and he actually missed the plate Kim and
then had to go back and touch the plate that
the Dodgers are onto the National League Championship Series. They
have to wait till this weekend because the Chicago Cubs
pummeled the Brewers and so the Cubbies are staying alive
(07:16):
and there will be a deciding Game five on Saturday.
So I don't know if you want to watch that
or just watch college football, but yeah, I'll check it out.
Game five. That's good. Somebody's gonna be somebody's gonna be
very upset at the end of that game. As I've
often said, the better story is in the losing locker room.
And one of the mantras is that and another mantras,
most games are lost, not one. This is a great example.
(07:39):
This is a textbook example of the ethos of the
Ben Mathers Show. Most of the time a game is
lost because someone's a complete f up like this game,
and what happened, as we discussed this game is immediately
instead of just accountability and you know, I know you
didn't try to suck O'Ryan Kokering, but just sucked. And
(08:02):
that's it. No, everyone's got our circle of the wagons.
It's not his fault. Oh no, no, it's such bulk.
Let's hear from Rob Thompson, the manager of the Philadelphia Phillies,
chiming in on all of this. You little taste of
what it was like. Take as Rob obviously a heartbreaking
we to lose. Get a long conversation with Oryan coming
(08:23):
off the field. Do you want to share a little
what you told him?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Or just to keep his head up? And he just
got caught up in the moment a little bit coming
down the stretcher. He picked so well for us, and
I feel I feel for him because he's he's putting
it all on his shoulders. But we went as a
team and we lose as a teams.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
All right? That quote right there is the money quote.
So let us discuss the question. Is it unfair to
put the Philadelphia Phillies loss on o'rian kirkering? Is it unfair?
So my thoughts in this, I've got Jet Blue, who
Roberto and Butterball and we will throw all of these
things together and we are gonna yackety yack under the
(09:04):
cover of darkness. So a my position, is it unfair
to put all of this on the Phillies picture? It
would be an injustice, not to blame him like you
would live in a parallel universe. And life is not
always fair. We know that, right, And you've got your problems.
I've got my problems. But O'Ryan Kirkering, the picture here
melted down like a cheap soft pretzel left out in
(09:28):
the hot summer on Broad Street. You know, sometime late July,
early August, the moment was too big. He cracked, couldn't
handle it. He had tight took a syndrome. He choked.
Call like it is, don't lie, don't pretend, don't don't
do that crap. This was not some quirky bad hop.
It was not. It was a routine play a big
(09:49):
league player makes one hundred percent of the time. It
wasn't the baseball gods playing some kind of evil trick
on this Philadelphia Phillies picture. No, no, no, no, He
flat out choked. He sucked at a time you cannot suck.
And fortunately for him, he decided he wanted to go
on vacation, O Ryan Kirker. He went down to the airport.
(10:09):
He got a one way ticket from Jet Blue and
the destination Panic City. Because he panicked, baby, And you know, again,
don't give me the we win as a team, we
lose as a team. Crap, I don't hear that garbage. Please.
You know who didn't lose the game. You can say, well,
Bryce Harfer sucked in this series, that's true, but he
didn't throw the He didn't throw the ball away. Kyle
(10:29):
Schwarber hit some home runs the other day, but didn't
do much else. Kyle Schwarber didn't throw the ball away.
You know who did throw the ball away. You want
to take a guess, ding ding ding, ding ding ding. Yes, Oh,
Ryan Kirkering threw the ball away. That's on him. It's
not little league. He's a you know, grown up young man.
It's on him, all right. This wasn't a bad inning.
(10:51):
This is a career tattoo. Congratulations. You have now been branded.
No matter whether you stay in Philadelphia, you go play
for the Red Sox or the Diamondbacks, or the Mariners,
the Marlins, or the Twins or the a holes in Houston,
it doesn't matter. You have now gotten that tattoo right
(11:11):
on your forehead, and for better or worse, that sticks
with you forever. There's no removing that tattoo. Right. It's
not now, it's not all bad news because from an
unstandim and this source is not close to the situation,
the Phillies are already planning a concession item to honor
a Ryan Kirkering for the twenty twenty sixth season. They're
(11:32):
going to be serving up at the snack bar there
artichoke sandwiches, because that is the official vegetable of O'Ryan,
the artichup.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
He becomes now the hunchback of the Delaware Valley, and
Philadelphi is gonna eat him alife like they do not
hand out. Hey, you know you tried a good job
by you, you ribbons. After that, you know they chuck
batteries at you. And all that mattered was what happened
in that moment, right didn't Matt? You said, well, they
(12:04):
were terrible, the Phillies' offense. I agree with you. They
were bad. But the game was even up. There were
two outs. You get the hitter out, Andy Pyez, the
game continues. You live to play another day or in
this kiss, another inning. And the game was in his hands.
He was on the mound, Oryan Kirkering, and he rode
the vomit comet he did. It was early to ride
(12:25):
the vomit come up. But he wrote the vomit comment.
He is going to wear that for the rest of
his big league career. He will become again the answer
to well, who am I game? Who was the numb
nuts pitcher that threw the game away for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Now you think about the context of this as well,
how does this loss? Here's another question, how does this
loss change things going forward for the Phillies. So we
(12:46):
have the multiverse in play, all right, there was a
dimension here where the Phillies go on and come back
and win Game five this weekend in Philly and then
go on to the NLCS and then the World Series,
and then they win the championship and everyone celebrates and
it's his sclories. However, that did not happen in this
(13:07):
part of the multiverse. The shelf life has run out,
the bread has become moldy. This was the last best
chance for this core group to win a championship, and
the ball was in the hands of Oryan Kirkering, and
he chucked it past the catcher. Good afternoon, good evening,
and good night. Turn out the lads, the parties over
(13:32):
see you later. And the thing is and you know it.
Every man, woman and child knows it. The Dodgers were vulnerable.
They were plumped for the taken. You know it, and
I know it. Bryce Harper, he becomes a year older now,
he'll be thirty three next season, thirty four by next October.
During the playoff run. He's no longer in his athletic prime.
(13:52):
You've got big time free agents. Jt Ria Muto, who
was on the receiving end of the wild throw that
sailed past him. The catcher, the slugger, Kyle Schwarber, he's
selling some shore bombs and then maybe the pentagonal by
him and then Ranger Suarez. They're all free agents. That's
an old core, oldest in baseball. What a mess. Now,
(14:14):
I do like Dave Dombrowski, the GM there and he's
gonna have to work like a ninja to keep this
group together. And you know it's a it's a good
town when the Phillies are winning. They packed the place
there at Citizens Bank Park. But man, what a debacle.
What a royal f up. And one guy, one guy
(14:35):
f the whole thing go up. The whole thing goes
to flames. Now on the other side, turning the page,
here the question on this one is what is the
vibe around the Dave Roberts Dodgers like it's you can't
really feel that great ken ye? I mean you talk
about the definition of better to be lucky than good,
and that's exactly what that smelled like. You smell that, Yeah,
(14:58):
my goodness. You could feel the universe trying to send
this thing to a game five. And the Dodgers were
like our guy that left the show, Roberto. They were
driving the struggle bus, the much ballyhooed Big Three show.
He O Tani greatest player ever? Rookie Bets? Do I
(15:18):
have to apologize for Rookie Betsy? Freddie Freeman, I believe
my math is right. I used some malt math on this.
They batted a collective one fifty a womp. You talk
about sucking a horrific one sixty eight for fifty against
the Philadelphia Affilies. That's the Big Blue wrecking crew, my
fat ass, that's the big Blue wrecking crew. They were
(15:41):
teetering on the brink. They were wobbling around like a
guy on a unicycle trying to drive through a hurricane.
And hey, this again, they're lucky. The box score doesn't
charge rent for squatting. There were a lot of squatters
in there, a lot of floaters and the Dodgers and
Niemik Allen scored two runs in a closeout game, one
(16:02):
on a basis loaded walk he paces load of walk
to Mookie bats and the other which ended it the
throwing air by O'Ryan kirkering on the Andy Piez forty
foot bouncer. That is not manufacturing runs. That is like
walking around the parking lot at Disneyland and finding a
twenty dollars bill is essentially what you did. That's a
(16:23):
guardian angel in Dodger blue. That's lessorda looking down from
Blue Heaven doing CPR on your postseason run. Here they
were bailed out. That is a government government like bail
out here. Now, I will say it's not all bad.
On a positive note, Roki Sazaki has become a glue
guy in the Dodger bullpen, he was he was outstanding
(16:45):
yet again the bullpen which has duck tape and it's
got police tape around it as well. Man, are they bad?
Just a bad group. But Suzaki came in there and
all of a sudden, and when he's on the mound,
it's like everything's good, everything's great, We got this. As
long as the starters can go seven innings, they'll be fine.
(17:05):
But Sazaki with ice water, that's what you want, right
That's what the other guys had resumes where they had
no pulse on the mound. But Tazaki's living it right now.
And you know, if this series turns, he's the guy.
He's the reason it turned now. And really that's kind
of the thing that's the vibe the story of this
Dodger team, the greatest team ever assembled. But yet you
(17:27):
look at this team the way they played for Dave Roberts,
despite the payroll and all the star power and all
the sizzle, they're never clean. It's never pretty. It's stumbling
into the bar at one point fifty nine in the morning,
and somehow walking out with a win is what it is.
And you just you can't rely on cosmic breaks forever.
(17:49):
You can't do it. It's working right now. It's just like
a cosmic accident, all right. Quickly, last where we go
down to Chicago the late game where Matthew Boyd Boyd
was he good, pitched a two hit stratch, he went
into the fifth inning the whole game, but that's modern baseball.
Pitched a two hit ball into the fifth inning, and
(18:10):
the Chicago Cubbies they put the Milwaukee Brewers' lineup into
a chokehold six to nothing in a game that didn't
even see him that close on a chilly Thursday night
in Chicago. There they pushed the divisional series all the
way back up what ninety some on miles up I
ninety four to Milwaukee for a decisive Game five this
(18:33):
weekend is Ian Happ, Kyle Tucker, and Michael Bush, the
ex Dodger all homer for the Cubbies there and the
crowd there, they were having a rollicking good time at
Wrigley Field. They were dancing in the aisles there. It
was great. It was wonderful. You know why they were
dancing because Rignyfield is a playground for the blank blanks.
(18:54):
Eighty five percent of the world's working. The other fifteen
percent come out here. It's a blank blank that's the Cubs. Yeah,
that is the Cubs. So the Cubs were on the
brink of elimination after they've lost those first two games
in the NLDS there in Milwaukee and look like they
were not supposed to be on the same field, but
they held on the other night on Wednesday, And so
(19:14):
now here we are Boyd good and the relievers good
as well. And so next up the finale, best of five,
back in Milwaukee again, Saturday night. Tickets are not available.
I think Marlin's Man is going to be there. He
was debating whether or not to go. But there's no
other game that day, so I'm assuming Marlin's Man, my
buddy's gonna be there. He was in Chicago for the game.
He'll be in. I don't know if he's gonna be
(19:34):
to seat. He said he's thinking about going out to
Seattle for the game here on Friday night. But the
winner of that series between the Cubs and the Brewers
will take on the Doyers and that'll be in the NLCS.
Coming up your better story again, losing a locker room.
So the questions rather obvious. Where have things gone haywire?
Where have things gone wrong? For the Brewers? So, watching
(19:55):
this game, this was from the Milwaukee side of things,
I call this a butter ball game. It was an
absolute turkey. You win ninety seven games, you had the
top record in the sport, and when you're out there
and this is a close out game. You've had two
close out games here. The lights are bright, the stage
(20:16):
is all yours right there. You want that national attention
and your little Milwaukee and you go out there and
you're in the witness protection program. Least your bats are
three hits, three hits all night. Three hits was Greg
Maddox pitching for the Cubs, one for thirteen with runners
in scoring position over the two games at Wrigley. That's
(20:37):
not playoff baseball. That is a hostage situations what that is.
And they were literally drowning up there. It wasn't an offense.
It was a clogged toilet. They didn't have a plunger,
and they could not hit water. As the line goes,
they couldn't hit water. If they fell out of a
boat and into Lake Michigan, they wouldn't be able to
hit water there. So the brew crew who left more
(21:00):
guys stranded than Spirit airlines during a snowstorm, was it
thirteen as we said, thirteen left on base in the
two games. That is malpractice, played like a bunch of mamlukes. Now,
the good news is, despite what every ex jock and
meatthead athlete likes to say, there is no such thing
as momentum. It doesn't matter. If there was momentum, the
Brewers would have eliminated the Cubs because they had all
(21:21):
the momentum they had won the first two games in Milwaukee.
But there is no momentum. It was so funny because
I was watching some of the coverage of the Phillies
and the Dodgers and the lead in the pregame stuff.
If you're signing this, it's not very entertaining. But I
was watching it, and they're like, oh, the Phillies have
the momentum. Now you know they won, they dominated the Dodgers.
You know they're scaringly. Really, there is no such thing.
(21:45):
Why do people keep repeating something that's not true. I
don't understand. I don't get it. I don't understand. It
is the ban mallor show. If you would like to
be part. It is an interactive show. It does not
have to be it does not have to be plenty
of content here we were filled to the brim with content.
We don't need to take calls. But the bosses say, hey,
(22:06):
why don't you take calls? I said, well, do we
have to say yeah anyway?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
And why not?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
We're not paying you to have guests. You a lot
of these daytime shows, they have a budget, they get
paid guests. We have no budget. No, we don't get
bogged down by a budget. So we we open up
the phones. If you would like to be part eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox operators aren't standing my
And of course we have the finger on the pulse
of the sporting world. But you might think are our
(22:31):
fingers on the wrong part of the body? Eight seven
seven nine nine six six three six nine Also on
X at Ben Malor. That's at Ben Malor. If you
would like to be part of the program. And now
that is that is the way that you would expect
to leave a ballpark. That is a way you would
(22:53):
expect to leave a ballpark. We'll get to that and
we will do it next.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Be sure to catch live edition So the Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

We have a fantasy football podcast called I Want Your Flex.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
That's right, Dan. Every week we're gonna scour the waiver

wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Bill Miller and you. It is the Ben Mahler Show,
the Red Eye Flight. As we are in the cockpit
flying the Red Eye Flight all night long and good
to have you along for the ride. We have not
reached our creusing altitude yet, so please stay calm and
stay seated. We'll let's you know when we turn off
the fast and seatbelt sign. In the meantime, we'll take
(23:54):
your phone calls. At eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox,
we have a problem, well usill has a lot of problems,
but we have here on the radio in the Magic
Radio Box. We have plenty of time and it's the
Baseball Hour as we talk about the National League Baseball playoffs.
We have two slots left. Half of the final four
(24:17):
is set. The Dodgers are into the Final four yet again.
I know you're impressed, and they will play the winner
of the Brewers and the Cubs. And then you've got
in the American League Toronto. They're waiting to find out
who they are going to play, whether it be Detroit
or Seattle. And as I've been getting email from our
friends in Seattle, and they've already eliminated the Mariners. That's
(24:41):
the vibe I'm getting. The long suffering Seattle sports fan
has already determined the Mariners have no chance to win.
But it's the Baseball Hour again, eighty seven to seven
ninety nine on Fox AW. And you can send us
a message on x at Bean mallor that's at Ben
mahlor Lorraine, FSR, Tech Queen and pop a loop at
uh Brocco Fan. Your comments can and we'll be used
(25:02):
against you in the court of sports radio, so please
act accordingly. Now back to it marked the full name
guy who is retired as a caller. He cannot handle
the grind of overnight talk radio. It's not easy to
be a celebrity caller. It's not. I mean, there's a
lot of these guys have breakdowns. They can't handle it.
(25:23):
They send me crazy emails. They end up having to
block them because they're lunatics. And that's just there's a
lot of that, and that goes on. Now, Mark the
Full Name Guy, he's one of them, and he says,
you said theater of the Mind, what mind? You must
have gotten your brains from doctor Frankenstein. Now there's some
irony in that because Mark the Full Name Guy kind
(25:45):
of looks like Frankenstein at this point. So it's an
odd situation. I'm just saying I love him, but you know,
he's my friend. Me and Mark the Full Name Guy,
we go way back him, him and I. He used
to live in the Tenderloin district in San Francisco back
in the day and called the sh I lived in
Santa Barbara. I know, I feel like the last fifteen
years he's called the show a ferg dog writes, and
he says, great job taking the giants and the points.
(26:07):
On Benny Versus the Penny, I was able to cash
that bet at halftime. Your picks are putting my wife's
kids through college. Well that's a little much. So it's
a little much for a dog. But we did have
that game right. So if you watched Benny Versus the
Penny on YouTube and you followed the wisdom, the advice,
the knowledge of not the Penny, but Benny, you ended
(26:29):
up winning that although at halftime it was was it
twenty to seventeen? It was a close game, the Eagles
decided I guess they didn't need to play the second half.
We'll talk more about that game next hour. But the
Giants with a blowout win over the once proud Philadelphia Eagles.
One of the worst days in Philadelphia's sports history the
last twenty five years or so. This is grave if
you love Shotenfreude, the long suffering I said that the
(26:51):
Phillies they won that that long ago. Obviously, Eagles just
won this past year. But the long suffering Philadelphia sports fan,
what a day. They were like, Oh, we're gonna get
a game five, the Philly is gonna beat the Dodgers.
I was getting all these idiots that listened to the
show in the Philadelphia area. They were sending me trash
talk emails. Hey your Dodgers, right, and uh and so
(27:14):
how did that work out? Not good? And then the
Eagles they just expect. You always expected to beat the
Giants because the Giants suck, and you always assume you're
gonna beat the Giants. I did want to know the
next episode of Bennie versus the Penny the full bit.
I was so busy watching the the games. We have
the episode done. I'm gonna post it in the morning
on our YouTube channel, Benni Vspenny, Fergdug, So you're gonna
(27:36):
want to watch that early in the morning. Nolf and
all the you know, you know who you are watched
the show and so we did not have chance to
post it because I was trying to watch. I was
trying to explain them to my wife. I said, I'm
supposed to watch three games that are all kind of
going on at the same time, and I have I
got like one TV and I got I got one
remote control, and I'm supposed to watch three things. So
(27:57):
I'm trying to flip around. I'm like, I kind of
know how long the commercial breaks are in baseball. It's
about two minutes, so I know, I've got two minutes.
But then you flip to the football game and then
there's like there's they're in a commercial, so then you
got to go back and then there's another game because
the Dodger game, you know, went to wait late, and
so there's a lot of stuff going on. A lot
of stuff going on. Ryan writes in in a long time.
(28:17):
Listening to the show in San Diego, he says the
Dodgers should have lost just by the dumb pitching move
by Dave Roberts. Glass Now two hits eighty three pitches.
You gotta pull him for the scrub bullpen. Once glass
Now was pulled, you could see what was going to
happen in braille for the next inning. Well, I don't
(28:38):
know if you saw the full story on that, Ryan,
but this classic modern modern baseball, modern baseball. Again, this
is one thing that's changed in my lifetime. There was
a point where you were just expected to crank it
up and go to the next level and just rub
some dirt on it and take some pharmacy great ibuprofen,
and go out there and just get it done. Uh.
(29:01):
And the report out of the Dodger clubhouse once they
were done getting drunk on champagne yet again, how many
champagne celebrations do you have to have? So they celebrated
when they clinched the playoff spot, they celebrated. I guess again,
did they celebrate again when they won the West? Did
they celebrate that again? And then they celebrated after the
wild card thing against Cincinnati, and now they've celebrated against Philadelphia,
(29:24):
and then they'll do it again if they win the
National League Pennant, and then again if they win the
World Series. It's like every every week they got a celebration. Anyway,
Tyler Glass Now left a playoff game, season potentially on
the line, right, you know, you know, do you likely
lose a game five? You likely lose a game five
back in Philly, and Glass Now left the game because
he had cramps. Now there's a joke there, but I,
(29:47):
you know, I don't want to get you know, I
don't want to get in trouble. But there's you know,
there's obvious a joke you can make, and we would
have made that joke in the nineties of the early
two thousand, but I don't know that I need to
make that joke. And just by saying what the joke is,
you know what the joke is. So I don't need
to say the joke because you're aware of the joke,
and so we're good. Freddie writes and says, I agree
that Dodgers really got lucky, disappointing starting three, all that
(30:08):
money and they could not hit the ball. Mister Luciano
rights in He's says ten out of ten on the
Mallar monologue, I agree with you, mister Maler. It was
the pitcher's fault that caused the Phillies to lose. The
moment was too big for him. By the way, who
are you rooting for for the Cubbies or the He
says the Cubbies are the Brewers? Well, I don't know
(30:31):
rooting is the right word. The Dodgers should be whoever
wins between these two. The Brewers are more of a
pesky team, and that's the kind of team that really
will f over the Dodgers. I think the Cubs are
more manageable for the Dodgers. I think the Brewers would
actually give the Dodgers more problems. But we'll see the
(30:51):
way the Dodgers. They got like two guys that you
trust in the bullpen, and that's it. Malard prop guy
writes in Hell is the twenty twenty four Malord palouzas
seat Philly. We got to get him back in here
at some point, and he says another A plus ten
out of ten on the Mallard monologue, do you think
Fats in Philly is drafting a manifesto to protest the
(31:12):
game because the man fraud ghost runner was not deployed
in extra innings in this series. If they put Casper
at second base, the Phillies would have surely won the game. Yeah,
I'm sure there somebody spy complaining at Major League Baseball. Well,
the game went too long and we had the other game,
and we can't have that happen. We got to do
it for TV. It's a bad job. Late night truck
(31:34):
tester says Marlin's Man in Milwaukee. Now two things behind
home plate distracting me from watching the game. His jersey
and that one woman keeping score in the front row
in the in the well, there was a Marlins Man impersonator,
Marlin's Man impersonator that was at the Dodger game. I
(31:55):
was texting Marlins Man. I said, Hey, his name's Lawrence.
But I said, hey, dude, there's some guy wearing your
stick out there at Dodger Stadium. And I guess that
guy lives in I think he lives in Northern California
and he goes to Giants games a lot. He's like
a Marlins Man impersonator. How about that he had a
Marlins Man in person But it was it was his birthday.
It was Marlin's man's birthday, and he spent it watching
(32:17):
a terrible game between the Cubs and the Brewers. Just
just a bad game all the way around. Yeah, donkey sauce,
it says, been any comments from the mayor of Philadelphia?
Do we have do we have the mayor? Go birds?
You know, let's go, let's go birds. Yeah. Well, Ryan
and San Diego got the joke that I was. I
did not make the joke, Ryan, I did not make
(32:39):
the joke. I thought about making the joke, but I
I did not make that joke. All right, let's go
to the phones and uh, let's say hello to mean
let's go to weed Man, hippie. Normally we talked to
weed Man for lame jokes a week, but he's calling
in early from Miami. Hello, weed Man, hippie. Welcome.

Not all right. First, First of all, I'm not saying no.
I think that would be a good bit. I think
that would be a pretty good bit. We got to
pick out a day, though, like we have to figure
out gona look at the schedule. I forgot a day,
see what day would work. I'm not guaranteeing we'll do

Man realize it's just gonna be people calling up, goofing
(36:22):
on him, busting his balls? Does you understand that that
it's just gonna be the Malard militia calling up and
prank calling him. It's gonna be Lucky Tony and those
guys just playing gags on him. Does he realize that?
Is he aware of that idea? Okay, let's go bird.
(36:43):
That was every phone call if you were listening to
the show six seven years ago, that was every call
from weed Man. Hippie was Benny and the weed Man.
We're gonna go to Vegas and it's gonna be takeover
Vegas and Atlantic City, and it was it was great. Well,
it's kind of like a ticker tape parade living leaving
Yankee Stadium the other night, Vladimir Guerrero Junior. You'll see
(37:03):
this went viral here the Yankee fans decided they wanted
to celebrate. Now, Guerrero's never gonna play for the Yankees.
But when the Yankees win, not that it happens very
often anymore. They go through the Canyon of Heroes, right,
the Canyon of heroes, and they throw ticker tape and
all that. So when he was leaving the ballpark, Vladimir
Guerrero Junior's family they were being It was raining, raining
(37:29):
plastic bottles and cans as Vladimir made his way and
his family there made their way out of Yankee Stadium.
There the Vladimir Guerrero family was, it was raining down
trash there. So welcome to New York. Welcome to no
rats though although there were, I guarantee the arrest.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
I hate rats.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
They got the biggest rats in the world in New York.
Oh man, If you really want to see rats in
New York, go out around trash time. When they put
the trash out in the evening. That's where the really

a basic play. That is the ti Iraq player today.
