Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. Our two all
about the American League Baseball playoffs, Yankees and Royals. Who
is responsible for the Royals stumbling and bumbling at home?
The Yankees with a late home run by Jean Carlos Stanton,
get the win. Also, what's the mood of the Royals
(00:23):
as they are facing elimination? Plus the Tigers all over?
The Guardians shut out baseball? They win another three nothing game.
Where did the Cleveland Guardians offense go? Do you know
you might want to let them know. We'll get to
that and more right now here. It is our number two.
Put the old bomb in the Bronx bombers. Welcome in
(00:47):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we stay in touch,
and I want you to know we are laboratory ten
coast to coast, border to border and beyond. We're open
all night on the vast and swaggeringly powerful microphones of
(01:08):
fs are ammnating live from the flood, the flood of informations.
We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrect
dot Com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended in stars any of the comic book guys
(01:30):
read about ten thousand comics. Tyraq dot com The Way
Tire Buying shoe be in our lead this hour from baseball,
we talked about the National League bracket last hour. Now
we pivot over to the American League. The city of
Fountains that would be Canna City, home with a Ben
(01:50):
Malord chicken fingers. That was the destination for baseball activity.
The American League Divisional Series, Game number three, series tied
up one to one, Aaron Judge leading those New York
Yankees the Traveling road Show and it'll play date with
the Royals, and the winner of Game three normally wins
this series. That's usually how it goes. And it was
(02:13):
such a big night that our buddy Marlin's Man was
in attendance. I saw him behind while play was actually
texting me from the stadium there. He's been on the
down low, but there was Marlins Man in Kansas City
hanging out schmoozing at the game. It was good to
see him there. It's not the baseball playoffs without Marlins Man.
So I don't know if you were watching or not.
(02:34):
Maybe you missed it, you were not engaged. But young Carlow,
young Carlo Stanton, I knew him when he was Mike.
He hit a go ahead home run in the eighth
inning amid a battle of the bullpens, the plague of
baseball in this game as well, and the Yankees, by
(02:54):
the hair on their chinny chin chin get past the
Royals three to two on a Wednesday night. Game three
of the American League Divisional Series at Kaufman Stadium goes
the way of the road team. Stanton finished with three hits,
drove in two runs, even stole a base when the
Royals fell asleep and allowed him to take a lead
(03:16):
about halfway down to second base. So that was his
first stolen base in four years for gian Carlos Stanton.
Now the Yankees turned to their six time All Star pitcher,
Garrett Cole. That'll be on Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, which is
just later today, and a chance to get back to
the American League Championship Series. The bracket has set up
(03:39):
for the Yankees in terms of glamor and rasmtaz and
star power. The Yankees are it in neither of the
Tigers of Cleveland has it now. Kansas City does, but
their star has not shown up much in this series
so far. But the better story is in the losing
locker room. That is where we are going to begin
(04:02):
the question who is responsible for the Royals stumbling and
bumbling at home? They lose by a run. So I've
got app Store, the bag and Warner Brothers and we'll
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a roulette wheel, and we'll just spin the
(04:23):
roulette wheel. So number this series was supposed to be
an elevator ride for Bobby Witt Junior. This was supposed
to be Bobby Witt Junior's celebratory time. I'll hoot and
nanny if you will for the Royals young star. He
(04:43):
was going to take the spotlight away from the Yankees
and elevate his status in baseball for the casuals who
don't watch the regular season very much, and at the
same time become a Bronx bomber villain. So far, that
storyline has on the vine. It has been a dud.
(05:03):
Bobby wit Junior through five postseason games, has had twenty
two at bats. He's four for twenty two. That's a
one to eighty one batting average, six strikeouts, and he
has no extra base hits. He's a punching judy hitter
in these playoffs. The numbers are not good, so Phenom
during the regular season and pedestrian Pete in these playoff games.
(05:27):
Now that said, if I remember correctly, against the Orioles
in the wild card round, two of the hits he
had were clutch ribby singles that helped propel Kansas City
into this round. But he has not lived up to
the hype against the New York Yames. He's now the
news is he's still got time, right, He's still got time.
Bobby wit Junior has got some time here to turn
(05:49):
things around. In fact, he's holding the pen, not a bat,
but a pen. He's holding the pen, and he can
rewrite the ending of this story. He can rewrite the
whole ending here. And I recommend a visit to the
app store for some bug fixes and some performance improvements,
because whatever you're doing right now ain't working. The Yankees
are getting you out at a rapid rate. Now, page two,
(06:12):
what is the mood? The mood for the Royals facing elimination, So, honestly,
think from the Royal side of things, they're pretty deep,
pretty deep, pretty deep, comfortable. And here's why you're playing
with found money. The Yankees are supposed to it. Now,
that doesn't mean it's not agonizing if you lose, and
(06:35):
it's not an annoyance if you lose. But the pendulum
of pressure which burst pipes and ruins baseball players is
clearly on the side of the Yankees. You don't want
to lose the next game here on Thursday night if
the Yankees, anything can happen. Your pitcher could get hurt,
somebody else on the roster, a key player gets hurt
(06:56):
in an elimination game. You want to avoid that at
all costs. So from that side of things, it's clearly
an advantage for the Royals going to this game Kansas City. Again,
they're supposed to lose here, and I actually like their
chances of forcing a game five. And here's why. It's
what's in the bag? What's in the bag now, it's
(07:17):
a bag filled with a lump of coal, the coal
train and Judgment Day. The big stars for the Yankees
have not been primetime players. They have not Garrett Cole
playoff Garrett Cole. He has gone from ace to middle
of the rotation guy in the postseason. Now, what is
my evidence as a Yankee in his postseason career, his
(07:41):
playoff EARNEDRON average is three point seven to one. So
he's a cy young winner during the regular Season's got
three point seven to one ERA in the postseason. And
then you have the enigma that is Aaron Judge, another
er four, he's one for eleven. Now the mammoth size
slugger one for eleven in this particular series, he is
(08:04):
now a career two oh three hitter, barely above the
Mendoza line, and considering the volume of at bats, he
is one of the worst playoff performers in the history
of baseball. Aaron Judge, that's not my opinion, it's a fact.
And so that bodes well for Kansas City. Now, final point.
We leave Kansas City and we head we say in
(08:24):
the Midwest, but we head now to the Motor City.
And that is where a team named after a bridge,
the Guardians Scirel the Street, now reached twenty innings. They've
got twenty innings without scoring, as not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, but six Detroit Tiger
(08:45):
pitchers combined for the second consecutive three to nothing shutout
win in this series. The Tiger is now looking to
advance to the Late Championship Series for the first time.
So it's way back in twenty thirteen and Detroit they
won with the thing that I cannot stand And I
(09:06):
said this earlier, talked about the Dodgers. They want a
bullpen game eight nothing, it doesn't matter. I don't like
these bullpen games, Sam I am, I don't. I don't
care what you tell me. You're just doing your outdated No.
I don't like it. It's bad. It's bad for marketing. It's
bad for the business. I don't work for baseball. But
it's bad all the way around. And if you say
you like it, you're lying because nobody likes it. It's
(09:28):
not entertaining and it will fail, mark my word. It's
going to end up failing for the Tigers. They'll do
this again. They'll fail Dodgers. Who knows they can do
it on their final game or it could be their
final game and one of the guys will have have
a bad night and that'll be that. So everyone's got
to be right. One thing goes. All you need is
one guy. If you have a dominant starting pitcher who's
(09:50):
got big balls, and that's all you need but to
make it through seven or eight innings or whatever it is.
And of course that's impossible in modern baseball. But where
did the Cleveland Guardians offense go? That's the question here.
Where did the offense go? The better story on the
losing locker room, and so they clearly shot their wad
(10:12):
and they did. In Game one, they won't seven nothing.
I remember it was an early game on Saturday, and
I'm flipping around watching college football, and then I go
to the baseball and like, well, this game's already over
and it was seven nothing domination situation. And now they've
got buppkus. Since that seven nothing situation, Since the opener,
(10:34):
the offense has been a Warner Brothers cartoon pepe le pew.
They stink. Okay, they're terrible. The bridges aided bats with
runners in scoring position in Game three, and you know
the answer. They got no hits. Obviously they didn't score.
Jose Ramirez, they're big star, They're three hundred million dollar player.
The slugger who's so great during the regular season, Jose Ramirez.
(10:56):
He doesn't get a lot of crap because he's not
in a big city, a big market like New York,
but he is now one for nine. Jose Ramirez not
living up to his contract, and Andres him Andez is
one for ten in that Cleveland lineup. So it's like
a funeral procession that they're leading there. That all fense,
(11:17):
but there's still opportunity, there's still time. The series is
not over yet. It is the Ben Mallard Show. If
you want to comment on any of that, you can
join us here speak easy rules in effect, but there
is a line open as we keep your company all
night long, and we are monitoring the hurricane Milton, which
is now category one, so from category five to category one,
(11:40):
but a bunch of people, millions of people without power
in the state of Florida. So we're worth you. We're
keeping your company all night long here on the radio
on those old battery operated AMFM radios that you need
in a time like this when there's no power, and
then you can bring your own power at least have
something to listen to and in the middle of the
(12:02):
night time. Now for me, I want to tell you
about tires and a saying. We haveb Mallard of the
Third de three coming up in a second. But you
gotta have a fall guy. You gotta have a fall guy.
And every night somebody gets triggered by something on television
in sports, and it happened in the Yankee Royals game.
Something happened there. That was a Bob Costas game that
(12:24):
annoyed the masses. What happened there? And also you got
to have a fall guy. We'll get to all that
and we will do it next.

Have you seen any stars there on the back line anything?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
No, I have seen no one. I have seen a
lot of crew people like they're they're busy. Everyone smiles.
It's very I mentioned this on my podcast. It's much
different than radio, where you know, we all come in
here other than the Lorena who's happy, but everyone else
is all depressed and all that. But uh, it seems
happy and they're in a good mood. And now back

uh spent many years there on the This is coop
flexing here.

can do it.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Half an hour TV show Coop, Come on, can you
still because I mean it's been very many many years
since I've been there. Can you still just kind of
like walk into Universal Studios from the back lot?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So I have not tested that yet, but I I
guess would be No. No, I think you probably could
because the way the way it's set up there, I
think you probably because if you keep walking down that
main road, you'll get to where the tour goes. And
then if you just keep going, I think I think
you would be able to walk up. I think so,
I haven't tested it, though, I need to go further.
(16:03):
They still that Jaws thing. I should go find that.
That's in the back lot somewhere. Remember the jobs.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Yeah, but then you're like way in the middle of
like just that train radle.

standing near the job just walking just walking through? Yeah?
So anyway, what else do we have? Page down og
Art Puffin enjoying the at least for a night downfall
(16:34):
of Fernando Tatis Junior. Matt the Warrior Raider. Tom Brady
rose Fan says, I thought the Royals only had problems
on the road. Yes, Mark and Santa Monica says, I
am very happy with my Yankees being up to one,
but I can't stand seeing every batting helmet in the playoffs,
saying strass on both sides. Yeah, it does look really
(16:58):
it looks low class. But that's Rob Manford, right, that's
Rob Manford. It's not a good look. It's it's like,
you don't need to do that. But that's the way
of the world. You give him an inch, they'll take
a mile. And it's just the beginning. Trust me, they'll
they'll add multiple logos on the helmets in years to come,
and they'll just keep pushing, pushing, pushing as far as
(17:19):
they can the envelope. It's gonna happen. Let's go to
the phones. We'll say hello to Eeny Meani Miny Mo.
Let's say hello to Andy the comic book guy. Hello, Andy, welcome,
That's what what's up? Ben?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
There?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
He is? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:41):
What a franchise of clowns. The San Diego Padres are
you know? I have to say this past week they
have eclips the number one hated professional sports team on
my pantheon have hated sports team?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
They have no.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Have the new King? Who?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Who did? Who replays? Who the Padres. Replace who was
it the Miami Dolphins? Oh oh you hate the Dolphins more?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Come on, no, no, no, Bill, you have.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
A Bill's mafia. Have a Bill's Mafia flag your comic
book shop.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
At least the Dolphins have two Super Bowls, even though
they are ancient artifacts from the nineteen seventies and dominated
the Bills for a decade in the nineteenth nineteen seventies.
The Padres. What a clown show of an organization. They
are embarrassing. Their fans are laughable everything. Brian Bentley is
a fan.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Get well that that is? Yeah, I mean that's all
you need to know, right, That's all you need to know.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Right there.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Finley likes the team, and they got the they got
the peacock there Fernando Tatis with his pelvic thrusts and
all that, But he wasn't doing all that when they're
down eight. Nothing that didn't happen.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
No, what a bunch of idiots. And you know what,
I actually I'm not gonna lie to you. I thought
we were gonna get smoked in this game. I really
really did. Recent history says our stars do not shine
in games like this. Uh love to be wrong sometimes.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Wait, moved. Mookie Betts got some of Josh Allen's smelling salts,
and he woke up after taking two years off playoff.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
He didn't ever wind knocked out of him.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't know you. I didn't know you
breathe through your head, I mean your your brain. I
had no idea, no no idea.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
John Dyllan is built Ford tough. That dude's the truck.
He's not made it.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, you have all people, you all do expect you
to say something about Josh Allen that does not involve
knee pads. I mean, what was I thinking there? How
dare I?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Well?
Speaker 6 (19:37):
I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Now, what is your ex just going to be when
the Bills lose to the Jets? What are you going
to say after.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
That They're not losing to the Jets. That's very funny, Ben,
that you're full of jokes tonight, Bets.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Sure about that? Are you going to hiding? I know
I know how this works. You'll run away. You'll be
like I was busy working on the comic book stuff.
I couldn't call the show.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
I'll call Monday night when we destroyed the Jets. Yeah,
this year we lollywop bad teams. So the Jets are
cook What happened.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
To that feed everybody offense for the Bills last couple
of weeks, that have been feeding anybody?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Well, when when dudes have buttersticks for fingers, it's not
really going to do much. Also, our coach becomes a
bonehead with three minutes left in a game, just historically,
So there's that.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, but I like that.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Do not.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Allow the other team to use any timeouts and then
just throw three week passes and then punt and allow
them to win the game. That's a bold strategy, Cotton.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Well, Also, let's be real, even if they had run
the ball, the Texans would have used the timeouts, they
probably would have got the ball back. The point is
they didn't get a first down and a key situation,
and that was what was frustrating.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, I don't think they had to show up in
the first half of the game. That also would be
a problem.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I also don't think in the history of the Josh
Allen McDermott era, the Bills have ever won a game
on a missed field goal by the other team. They
always hit field goals against us to win games. I
don't know what it is, but it's a bill thing
this year for the last six seven years, that is
what it is. Now that said I wasn't going to
go to the bills right away.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But since he went.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
There, how come you haven't talked about Stefan Ziggs lately.
You love to roast the guy. There's a pretty juicy
story out there with uh, with mister Dix. Mister sure, oh.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You have all you of all people that stood there
like you were. You were part of the royal guard
protecting the king with Stefan Diggs. And I'll and I
pointed this out, this is Stefan Diggs, this, that and
the other thing. And every time I did a Stefan
Diggs story while he was in Buffalo, you would call
up and defend your guy. Now that he's gone, all
(21:40):
of a sudden, suddenly I was right. It's weird how
that works.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
We're right. I will, I will hang my hand up
hat up on that. I'll give that to you.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
But I am.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
I am a defender of the Bisman and the Buffalo
until the day I die. So as long as they're
wearing the red, white and blue, Uh, they've got Andy
the comic book guys sorts.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
And.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Well I think Stefan Diggs a sword has been making
its way around I believe.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
So, yes, apparently, yeah, but speaking of shorts, Speaking of shorts,
I hope Eddie is prepared to get skewered this week
as La Kings will begin their season zero to one
against the Buffalo Savers. They played terrible in Buffalo and
that's going to continue this week. So I'm sorry, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Well, they do, they do historically play bad in Buffalo.
But how did your team start off the season, by
the way, how those Savers do starting off the season?
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Oh, their preseason was amazing.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
On regular season, they've played two games. How would how'd
that go for it?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Did?
Speaker 6 (22:38):
I don't think? I don't think foreign games count?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Well, they do actually in the standings. And you've played
two games and you've lost both of them. So good
job back.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
But they were over in Germany and Prague.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Nobody saw that Prague is not Germany.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Good good knowledge by you for the.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
World glow Germany and Prague. Thank you?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
All right, you guys want to step outside. You guys
want to take.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
This new jersey. By the way, what are you gonna
give you my jersey?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Where's my will you pick the most difficult jersey?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Where's my hat? Where's my hat? My buffalo hat? Where's
my hat?
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Is fair?
Speaker 5 (23:12):
I'm on it.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Suit as the scratch off gets us cakes, he's gonna
come through and he's gonna flask all the Arkansas or
scratch off.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Right, so we're gonna have a Mallard meat greed. And
don't forget my guy, the black irishman in Omaha that
Creighton hat. Remember he promised that seven years ago. It's
on your list. I know you're efforting it. I know,
all right, thank you, all right, I gotta go. You're
going Andy the comic book guy who has hosted a
Mallard meet and greet. Yeah, that's the fun Diggs story
(23:42):
with Cardi B. I don't know. I think that's real.
I don't know. You believe it? You believed that Cardi
B and Stefan Diggs were romantically involved?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Well she was about to pop out a kid there
that yeah? Why not? Why not?
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Pregnant women need love to ben Is that right?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Yes, we should hit that on next week's love segment.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Great idea, right, jot that down and they will know.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
So.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Sofan was doing a public service. That's what he was doing. Well.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
There's also there's also some other Stefan Diggs rumors we've seen.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I want to hold those and we'll talk to them
on the other side about that. All right, I've seen
a little bit. I haven't been you know, I'm not
that fascinated by it, but you know, it's it's intriguing.
We've heard of him so and there were stories when
he was with the Vikings that he was a dirty
dog with the Minnesota Vikings. Anyway, it is the Ben
Mallor Show. As we were rolling on, got to have
a fall guy. I also went upset some baseball observers.
(24:44):
The Royal Yankee game triggered some. We'll get to that.
We have Mallard of the third degree. But right now
that you caught up on everything going on, as Milton
pushes to the east coast of Florida, hes edy.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
That does remind me. I remember seeing a video about
Stefan Diggs we was in Minnesota. It was one of
his teammates was kind of going around saying, who would
you least like to date your sister? And every one
of them sends the fun digs like like twelve guys
all immediately said to the fun.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Dig so, yeah, they must be going for anything goes
with Stefan d.

limited in practice, and running back Jonathan Taylor did not
practice with a hi high ankle sprain, he said, and
New York Giants pass rusher Cavon Thibodeau suffered a fractured
scaphold bone in his wrist. He had surgery to repair it.

Nobody knows who that is. Nobody knows.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Do we want to educate them?

They're smoking weed right now. They don't want to be
bothered by that. All right, It is the Ben Malers Show.
It is just another casual day Tiper fun fact here.
We got fun fack.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Fuck Ben Maler fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
So the Tigers in that win against the Cleveland baseball
team formerly called the Indians. The Tigers became the first
team ever to shut out their opponent in the playoff
game when their starter pitched no more than one inning. Now,
the Dodgers would have been the second team to do that,
but their starter, Ryan Bridger the Old Red Sox, he
went an inning and a third. So the Tigers first
(26:29):
team ever to shut out their opponent. Wow, in a
playoff game when the starter pitched no more than one inning.
Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to Andrew,
who's in Bakersfield. Hello Andrew. And by the way, hold on,
hold on, sec Andrew, what else did you have coupon
Stefan Diggs? You were saying you knew some other dirt
about Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Well, there's just there's other rumors going on around right now.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, like, what what do you hear? Sens you a link?
Or you want me to be the one to say
you don't want to be the one to see it.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
I just I don't want to, you know, there it's
a it's alleged stuff, you know, we have to say
it's alleged.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
There's like some rumors going around that he allegedly uh
drugged and sexually assaulted.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
That's a big one.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yeah, this guy a guy.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
H I don't even I didn't see that story.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I sent you the story on your your d MS.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Oh did you in Twitter?
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Where was that from? Well? The internet? Tmz.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
This one is a radio station's website.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Radio station, the one that I sent Ben. Yeah, okay,
I see there.
Speaker 4 (27:51):

Hello Andrew in Bakersfield, Hello andrew.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
Snoop doggay Robbert. Let's get Dave Roberts a round of
applause for a great night. Okay, wow, game two. I'm
yelling at the radio, bront the ball safety squeeze, Why
aren't you stealing? And he did it tonight, So I'm
(28:28):
happy for that. What do you think? No?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I would? What about noon? Praise Dave Roberts. They won
a game they shouldn't. The series should not be going
to a game five. The Dodgers are better than the Padres.
The fact that they could lose on Friday night is
a testimonial to Dave Roberts, and he's the fifth all
time losing his playoff manager. So I'm not going to
sit here and celebrate Dave Robert. You can't, but I'm not.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
All right, Well, we'll see how.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Shap Are you out of material already? Is that it?
Speaker 7 (29:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
You left the thirty second man, you have thirty two
seconds of material.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Hey, he spent a long time thinking about doing that.
Snoop Dogg, Dave Roberts, the Little Mash, any other.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Song you want to sing for us while you're on
the air, anything else you want to sing any diddy?
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Well I thought about saying, what about Bob? And I'm
not talking about Bob Slace. I'm talking about Dave Boberts,
Dave rob He did a great job in That's all
I have to say.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Oh that isn't funny?
Speaker 5 (29:34):
All right?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Thank you? Never did never do that again?
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Ye instid it?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Lame jokes of the week.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yet every day is lame jokes of the week in
this show. Come on, Speaking of a joke, let's say
hello to Angry Bill, who's in Florida. Hello, Angry Bill?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
How you doing? Everybody? But I know yesterday it was
a long time. I'llmember back to who were discussing the Dodgers.
I told you Dave Roberts said he was going to
do a bullpening game and the Dodgers would be fine.
How did that work out? I know you don't have
an opinion that your opinion of the bullpen game to
(30:16):
be your opinion. You don't like it, but it's called baseball. Now,
take a look at the box scores once in a while, Ben,
and you'll see numerous teams using it, and the Dodgers
use it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
So you're doing the everyone's doing it, so it's fine.
And I'm a posician that it's not fine. But you're
just a sucker, and that's how you're up. It's fine.
You can be a socker if you want. I mean
you you apparently embrace it. You think when everyone's doing it,
so it's fine. So if everyone does if everyone does fentanyl,
you're gonna do fentanyl because everyone's doing it.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Because I wrote it. Your narcissistic opinion of baseball or
different things that go up in baseball don't mean nothing.
Do you understand that?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Then?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Well, I mean something. They actually actually pay my bills.
Uh see, I get paid to do this. You get
I don't think you get to call in. I don't
know are you on the payroll? If not, we got
to take you off the payroll. Is the Ben Mallards
show we are going to have coming up in a
few minutes. Mallard to the third degree. But a big
shake up in Boston. The Red Sox did not qualify
(31:15):
for the playoffs. And now you get a pink slip.
You get a pink slip. You get a pink slip.
They brought back Alex Korra. They signed him to an
extension during the season, and right after that the Socks
fell apart, So you gotta have a fall guy. The
Red Sox have fired their first base coach, their bullpen coach,
(31:35):
assistant hitting coach, their mental skills coach has been whacked,
the team trainer has gone, and my favorite, the bullpen catcher.
That's why the Red Sox didn't make the playoffs. The
bullpen catcher. Clearly that was the issue there. If only
they had a better bullpen catcher, they would have made
(31:57):
the playoffs. It's his one thousand percent, his fault. Time
Now for the Insta Trivia, Joan Carlos Stanton at that
game changing home run. That was the first Yankee go
ahead home run and the eighth inning or later in
the postseason. Since blank again, John Carlos Stanton. He went
(32:21):
to high school just down the street from where we
broadcast from. John Carlo Stanton game changing home run was
the first Yankee go ahead home run in the eighth
inning or later in the postseason. Since blank. That is
the insta trivia the answer, We'll get to it. We'll
do it next.

Time. Now for the Insta trivia with Mallard of the
third degree warming up and should be ready piping hot maulmentarily.
But here is the Insta trivia. Jean Carlos Stanton hit
that game changing home run? Was the first Yankees go
ahead home run in the eighth inning or later in
the postseason since blank? That is the question. What is
(33:38):
the answer? And we'll see does anyone know the answer?
We go to the Great Unwashed Big Lewis says it
has to be video of Eddie before his Beer League
hockey games. Wow, how about new Yeah, Ricky says the
answer has to be Ricky from Alf the Alien, Opiner
snorl Acts from ferg Dog the Dodge Bullpen. That's what's
(34:02):
in from og Art Puffin. Who else do we have?
The original mister made Dave Winfield when he was killing
seagulls in Toronto, Troy Tulwhisky, who was forty today from
the Late Night Drug Tester, the man Stefan Diggs allegedly drugged,
although there's a photo him right there from King Rory.
Who else do we have? Page down Albert belgues By
(34:23):
Sean in Portland, Mister Fuji from Donkey's Sausage that's his answer.
Several Dave Winfield answers, Andy from Lionel Lakes There, George
Costanza from our buddy Mallar prop guy who's been in studio,
Lieutenant Dan from Benito and somebody said Lieutenant Dan's like
(34:44):
a griffter and like he's a con man. I don't know,
I don't know what to make of that. Who else
we have? Alf is the answer from Massole Mickey, that's
his selection. Who else do we have? Mark in Santa Monica,
says Jolton. Joe DiMaggio is the answer. Aaron Boone from
Slim Tim What say you, na?
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Former Cleveland Indian legend Pat Tabler?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Is it Pat Tabler? No, Eddie, it's a bad job
by you. It is none other than Raoulbes in game
three of the twenty twelve a l DS. Raoulbes is
the answer. With all the fan fare, here we are.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
There, we are here, we are to the third degree.
This is one big fan, gets Grillkopolo.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Commander's defensive tackle Jonathan Allen made a radio appearance on
Tuesday and spoke on de Shaun Watson, saying he looked
like a player who's had stuff going on above the
shoulders and attributed his poor play to a lack of confidence.
Ben do you think that's what it is?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Uh, well, it's certainly part of it, but it's not
the main situation. He did have his ass kissed when
he was at Clemson, and I remember when in his
earliest career with the Texans, people, oh, Shan Watson is
the greatest thing in the world and all that, but
it goes beyond just the mental stuff. Like he physically
blows as a quarterback. He is the right now with
the Browns plan every week, Deshaun Watson is the twenty
(36:07):
ninth ranked quarterback in the NFL. Gardner Minshew just got
benched is a better quarterback than Watson. It's more than
just the mental stuff. It's part of it, but not
the only next.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Some are suggesting that with their win over the Seahawks,
the Giants have turned a corner and that stats actually
show the team to be better than expected, better the
Giants better than we thought.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
No, I'm not ready to say that. They lose to
the Bengals this weekend and they'll end off in that
seven win area and see, are they gonna make the
same mistake of paying Dan kil Choles. He's not that good.
He's not the guy, Pal, He's not the guy. I
say no next.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
It was announced Tuesday that Bud Black would be returning
to the Rockies on a one year contract. Now, the
Rockies haven't been to the playoffs in seven years. Why
do they keep going back to Black?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Because they have to have a manager major League Baseball man.
They're not trying to win, that's what they're telling you.
The front off is that we're not trying to win,
but we like somebody. He's good with the media. You know,
he's not going to embarrass the franchise. Bud Black. He's
done it for a long time and so just keep
him an How do we dow he passes? That is
a win. You get put on the bar.
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. Our two all
about the American League Baseball playoffs, Yankees and Royals. Who
is responsible for the Royals stumbling and bumbling at home?
The Yankees with a late home run by Jean Carlos Stanton,
get the win. Also, what's the mood of the Royals
(00:23):
as they are facing elimination? Plus the Tigers all over?
The Guardians shut out baseball? They win another three nothing game.
Where did the Cleveland Guardians offense go? Do you know
you might want to let them know. We'll get to
that and more right now here. It is our number two.
Put the old bomb in the Bronx bombers. Welcome in
(00:47):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we stay in touch,
and I want you to know we are laboratory ten
coast to coast, border to border and beyond. We're open
all night on the vast and swaggeringly powerful microphones of
(01:08):
fs are ammnating live from the flood, the flood of informations.
We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios. Tyrect
dot Com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended in stars any of the comic book guys
(01:30):
read about ten thousand comics. Tyraq dot com The Way
Tire Buying shoe be in our lead this hour from baseball,
we talked about the National League bracket last hour. Now
we pivot over to the American League. The city of
Fountains that would be Canna City, home with a Ben
(01:50):
Malord chicken fingers. That was the destination for baseball activity.
The American League Divisional Series, Game number three, series tied
up one to one, Aaron Judge leading those New York
Yankees the Traveling road Show and it'll play date with
the Royals, and the winner of Game three normally wins
this series. That's usually how it goes. And it was
(02:13):
such a big night that our buddy Marlin's Man was
in attendance. I saw him behind while play was actually
texting me from the stadium there. He's been on the
down low, but there was Marlins Man in Kansas City
hanging out schmoozing at the game. It was good to
see him there. It's not the baseball playoffs without Marlins Man.
So I don't know if you were watching or not.
(02:34):
Maybe you missed it, you were not engaged. But young Carlow,
young Carlo Stanton, I knew him when he was Mike.
He hit a go ahead home run in the eighth
inning amid a battle of the bullpens, the plague of
baseball in this game as well, and the Yankees, by
(02:54):
the hair on their chinny chin chin get past the
Royals three to two on a Wednesday night. Game three
of the American League Divisional Series at Kaufman Stadium goes
the way of the road team. Stanton finished with three hits,
drove in two runs, even stole a base when the
Royals fell asleep and allowed him to take a lead
(03:16):
about halfway down to second base. So that was his
first stolen base in four years for gian Carlos Stanton.
Now the Yankees turned to their six time All Star pitcher,
Garrett Cole. That'll be on Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, which is
just later today, and a chance to get back to
the American League Championship Series. The bracket has set up
(03:39):
for the Yankees in terms of glamor and rasmtaz and
star power. The Yankees are it in neither of the
Tigers of Cleveland has it now. Kansas City does, but
their star has not shown up much in this series
so far. But the better story is in the losing
locker room. That is where we are going to begin
(04:02):
the question who is responsible for the Royals stumbling and
bumbling at home? They lose by a run. So I've
got app Store, the bag and Warner Brothers and we'll
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a roulette wheel, and we'll just spin the
(04:23):
roulette wheel. So number this series was supposed to be
an elevator ride for Bobby Witt Junior. This was supposed
to be Bobby Witt Junior's celebratory time. I'll hoot and
nanny if you will for the Royals young star. He
(04:43):
was going to take the spotlight away from the Yankees
and elevate his status in baseball for the casuals who
don't watch the regular season very much, and at the
same time become a Bronx bomber villain. So far, that
storyline has on the vine. It has been a dud.
(05:03):
Bobby wit Junior through five postseason games, has had twenty
two at bats. He's four for twenty two. That's a
one to eighty one batting average, six strikeouts, and he
has no extra base hits. He's a punching judy hitter
in these playoffs. The numbers are not good, so Phenom
during the regular season and pedestrian Pete in these playoff games.
(05:27):
Now that said, if I remember correctly, against the Orioles
in the wild card round, two of the hits he
had were clutch ribby singles that helped propel Kansas City
into this round. But he has not lived up to
the hype against the New York Yames. He's now the
news is he's still got time, right, He's still got time.
Bobby wit Junior has got some time here to turn
(05:49):
things around. In fact, he's holding the pen, not a bat,
but a pen. He's holding the pen, and he can
rewrite the ending of this story. He can rewrite the
whole ending here. And I recommend a visit to the
app store for some bug fixes and some performance improvements,
because whatever you're doing right now ain't working. The Yankees
are getting you out at a rapid rate. Now, page two,
(06:12):
what is the mood? The mood for the Royals facing elimination, So, honestly,
think from the Royal side of things, they're pretty deep,
pretty deep, pretty deep, comfortable. And here's why you're playing
with found money. The Yankees are supposed to it. Now,
that doesn't mean it's not agonizing if you lose, and
(06:35):
it's not an annoyance if you lose. But the pendulum
of pressure which burst pipes and ruins baseball players is
clearly on the side of the Yankees. You don't want
to lose the next game here on Thursday night if
the Yankees, anything can happen. Your pitcher could get hurt,
somebody else on the roster, a key player gets hurt
(06:56):
in an elimination game. You want to avoid that at
all costs. So from that side of things, it's clearly
an advantage for the Royals going to this game Kansas City. Again,
they're supposed to lose here, and I actually like their
chances of forcing a game five. And here's why. It's
what's in the bag? What's in the bag now, it's
(07:17):
a bag filled with a lump of coal, the coal
train and Judgment Day. The big stars for the Yankees
have not been primetime players. They have not Garrett Cole
playoff Garrett Cole. He has gone from ace to middle
of the rotation guy in the postseason. Now, what is
my evidence as a Yankee in his postseason career, his
(07:41):
playoff EARNEDRON average is three point seven to one. So
he's a cy young winner during the regular Season's got
three point seven to one ERA in the postseason. And
then you have the enigma that is Aaron Judge, another
er four, he's one for eleven. Now the mammoth size
slugger one for eleven in this particular series, he is
(08:04):
now a career two oh three hitter, barely above the
Mendoza line, and considering the volume of at bats, he
is one of the worst playoff performers in the history
of baseball. Aaron Judge, that's not my opinion, it's a fact.
And so that bodes well for Kansas City. Now, final point.
We leave Kansas City and we head we say in
(08:24):
the Midwest, but we head now to the Motor City.
And that is where a team named after a bridge,
the Guardians Scirel the Street, now reached twenty innings. They've
got twenty innings without scoring, as not one, not two,
not three, not four, not five, but six Detroit Tiger
(08:45):
pitchers combined for the second consecutive three to nothing shutout
win in this series. The Tiger is now looking to
advance to the Late Championship Series for the first time.
So it's way back in twenty thirteen and Detroit they
won with the thing that I cannot stand And I
(09:06):
said this earlier, talked about the Dodgers. They want a
bullpen game eight nothing, it doesn't matter. I don't like
these bullpen games, Sam I am, I don't. I don't
care what you tell me. You're just doing your outdated No.
I don't like it. It's bad. It's bad for marketing. It's
bad for the business. I don't work for baseball. But
it's bad all the way around. And if you say
you like it, you're lying because nobody likes it. It's
(09:28):
not entertaining and it will fail, mark my word. It's
going to end up failing for the Tigers. They'll do
this again. They'll fail Dodgers. Who knows they can do
it on their final game or it could be their
final game and one of the guys will have have
a bad night and that'll be that. So everyone's got
to be right. One thing goes. All you need is
one guy. If you have a dominant starting pitcher who's
(09:50):
got big balls, and that's all you need but to
make it through seven or eight innings or whatever it is.
And of course that's impossible in modern baseball. But where
did the Cleveland Guardians offense go? That's the question here.
Where did the offense go? The better story on the
losing locker room, and so they clearly shot their wad
(10:12):
and they did. In Game one, they won't seven nothing.
I remember it was an early game on Saturday, and
I'm flipping around watching college football, and then I go
to the baseball and like, well, this game's already over
and it was seven nothing domination situation. And now they've
got buppkus. Since that seven nothing situation, Since the opener,
(10:34):
the offense has been a Warner Brothers cartoon pepe le pew.
They stink. Okay, they're terrible. The bridges aided bats with
runners in scoring position in Game three, and you know
the answer. They got no hits. Obviously they didn't score.
Jose Ramirez, they're big star, They're three hundred million dollar player.
The slugger who's so great during the regular season, Jose Ramirez.
(10:56):
He doesn't get a lot of crap because he's not
in a big city, a big market like New York,
but he is now one for nine. Jose Ramirez not
living up to his contract, and Andres him Andez is
one for ten in that Cleveland lineup. So it's like
a funeral procession that they're leading there. That all fense,
(11:17):
but there's still opportunity, there's still time. The series is
not over yet. It is the Ben Mallard Show. If
you want to comment on any of that, you can
join us here speak easy rules in effect, but there
is a line open as we keep your company all
night long, and we are monitoring the hurricane Milton, which
is now category one, so from category five to category one,

keeping your company all night long here on the radio
on those old battery operated AMFM radios that you need
in a time like this when there's no power, and
then you can bring your own power at least have
something to listen to and in the middle of the
(12:02):
night time. Now for me, I want to tell you
about tires and a saying. We haveb Mallard of the
Third de three coming up in a second. But you
gotta have a fall guy. You gotta have a fall guy.
And every night somebody gets triggered by something on television
in sports, and it happened in the Yankee Royals game.
Something happened there. That was a Bob Costas game that
(12:24):
annoyed the masses. What happened there? And also you got
to have a fall guy. We'll get to all that
and we will do it next.

lot of crew people like they're they're busy. Everyone smiles.
It's very I mentioned this on my podcast. It's much
different than radio, where you know, we all come in
here other than the Lorena who's happy, but everyone else
is all depressed and all that. But uh, it seems
happy and they're in a good mood. And now back
(15:17):
in my day, Ben, yes, Cooper loop, Yes, I spent
uh spent many years there on the This is coop
flexing here.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
This is coop flexing, man. I have an hour you
can do it.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Half an hour TV show Coop, Come on, can you
still because I mean it's been very many many years
since I've been there. Can you still just kind of
like walk into Universal Studios from the back lot?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So I have not tested that yet, but I I
guess would be No. No, I think you probably could
because the way the way it's set up there, I
think you probably because if you keep walking down that
main road, you'll get to where the tour goes. And
then if you just keep going, I think I think
you would be able to walk up. I think so,
I haven't tested it, though, I need to go further.
(16:03):
They still that Jaws thing. I should go find that.
That's in the back lot somewhere. Remember the jobs.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Yeah, but then you're like way in the middle of
like just that train radle.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
There's nothing else I know. Is this a fat guy
standing near the job just walking just walking through? Yeah?
So anyway, what else do we have? Page down og
Art Puffin enjoying the at least for a night downfall
(16:34):
of Fernando Tatis Junior. Matt the Warrior Raider. Tom Brady
rose Fan says, I thought the Royals only had problems
on the road. Yes, Mark and Santa Monica says, I
am very happy with my Yankees being up to one,
but I can't stand seeing every batting helmet in the playoffs,
saying strass on both sides. Yeah, it does look really
(16:58):
it looks low class. But that's Rob Manford, right, that's
Rob Manford. It's not a good look. It's it's like,
you don't need to do that. But that's the way
of the world. You give him an inch, they'll take
a mile. And it's just the beginning. Trust me, they'll
they'll add multiple logos on the helmets in years to come,
and they'll just keep pushing, pushing, pushing as far as
(17:19):
they can the envelope. It's gonna happen. Let's go to
the phones. We'll say hello to Eeny Meani Miny Mo.
Let's say hello to Andy the comic book guy. Hello, Andy, welcome,
That's what what's up? Ben?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
There?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
He is? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (17:41):
What a franchise of clowns. The San Diego Padres are
you know? I have to say this past week they
have eclips the number one hated professional sports team on
my pantheon have hated sports team?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
They have no.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Have the new King? Who?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Who did? Who replays? Who the Padres. Replace who was
it the Miami Dolphins? Oh oh you hate the Dolphins more?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Come on, no, no, no, Bill, you have.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
A Bill's mafia. Have a Bill's Mafia flag your comic
book shop.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
At least the Dolphins have two Super Bowls, even though
they are ancient artifacts from the nineteen seventies and dominated
the Bills for a decade in the nineteenth nineteen seventies.
The Padres. What a clown show of an organization. They
are embarrassing. Their fans are laughable everything. Brian Bentley is
a fan.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Get well that that is? Yeah, I mean that's all
you need to know, right, That's all you need to know.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Right there.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Finley likes the team, and they got the they got
the peacock there Fernando Tatis with his pelvic thrusts and
all that, But he wasn't doing all that when they're
down eight. Nothing that didn't happen.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
No, what a bunch of idiots. And you know what,
I actually I'm not gonna lie to you. I thought
we were gonna get smoked in this game. I really
really did. Recent history says our stars do not shine
in games like this. Uh love to be wrong sometimes.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Wait, moved. Mookie Betts got some of Josh Allen's smelling salts,
and he woke up after taking two years off playoff.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
He didn't ever wind knocked out of him.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't know you. I didn't know you
breathe through your head, I mean your your brain. I
had no idea, no no idea.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
John Dyllan is built Ford tough. That dude's the truck.
He's not made it.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, you have all people, you all do expect you
to say something about Josh Allen that does not involve
knee pads. I mean, what was I thinking there? How
dare I?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Well?
Speaker 6 (19:37):
I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Now, what is your ex just going to be when
the Bills lose to the Jets? What are you going
to say after.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
That They're not losing to the Jets. That's very funny, Ben,
that you're full of jokes tonight, Bets.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Sure about that? Are you going to hiding? I know
I know how this works. You'll run away. You'll be
like I was busy working on the comic book stuff.
I couldn't call the show.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
I'll call Monday night when we destroyed the Jets. Yeah,
this year we lollywop bad teams. So the Jets are
cook What happened.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
To that feed everybody offense for the Bills last couple
of weeks, that have been feeding anybody?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Well, when when dudes have buttersticks for fingers, it's not
really going to do much. Also, our coach becomes a
bonehead with three minutes left in a game, just historically,
So there's that.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, but I like that.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Do not.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Allow the other team to use any timeouts and then
just throw three week passes and then punt and allow
them to win the game. That's a bold strategy, Cotton.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Well, Also, let's be real, even if they had run
the ball, the Texans would have used the timeouts, they
probably would have got the ball back. The point is
they didn't get a first down and a key situation,
and that was what was frustrating.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, I don't think they had to show up in
the first half of the game. That also would be
a problem.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I also don't think in the history of the Josh
Allen McDermott era, the Bills have ever won a game
on a missed field goal by the other team. They
always hit field goals against us to win games. I
don't know what it is, but it's a bill thing
this year for the last six seven years, that is
what it is. Now that said I wasn't going to
go to the bills right away.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But since he went.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
There, how come you haven't talked about Stefan Ziggs lately.
You love to roast the guy. There's a pretty juicy
story out there with uh, with mister Dix. Mister sure, oh.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You have all you of all people that stood there
like you were. You were part of the royal guard
protecting the king with Stefan Diggs. And I'll and I
pointed this out, this is Stefan Diggs, this, that and
the other thing. And every time I did a Stefan
Diggs story while he was in Buffalo, you would call
up and defend your guy. Now that he's gone, all
(21:40):
of a sudden, suddenly I was right. It's weird how
that works.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
We're right. I will, I will hang my hand up
hat up on that. I'll give that to you.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
But I am.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
I am a defender of the Bisman and the Buffalo
until the day I die. So as long as they're
wearing the red, white and blue, Uh, they've got Andy
the comic book guys sorts.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
And.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Well I think Stefan Diggs a sword has been making
its way around I believe.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
So, yes, apparently, yeah, but speaking of shorts, Speaking of shorts,
I hope Eddie is prepared to get skewered this week
as La Kings will begin their season zero to one
against the Buffalo Savers. They played terrible in Buffalo and
that's going to continue this week. So I'm sorry, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Well, they do, they do historically play bad in Buffalo.
But how did your team start off the season, by
the way, how those Savers do starting off the season?
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Oh, their preseason was amazing.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
On regular season, they've played two games. How would how'd
that go for it?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Did?
Speaker 6 (22:38):
I don't think? I don't think foreign games count?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Well, they do actually in the standings. And you've played
two games and you've lost both of them. So good
job back.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
But they were over in Germany and Prague.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Nobody saw that Prague is not Germany.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Good good knowledge by you for the.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
World glow Germany and Prague. Thank you?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
All right, you guys want to step outside. You guys
want to take.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
This new jersey. By the way, what are you gonna
give you my jersey?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Where's my will you pick the most difficult jersey?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Where's my hat? Where's my hat? My buffalo hat? Where's
my hat?
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Is fair?
Speaker 5 (23:12):
I'm on it.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Suit as the scratch off gets us cakes, he's gonna
come through and he's gonna flask all the Arkansas or
scratch off.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Right, so we're gonna have a Mallard meat greed. And
don't forget my guy, the black irishman in Omaha that
Creighton hat. Remember he promised that seven years ago. It's
on your list. I know you're efforting it. I know,
all right, thank you, all right, I gotta go. You're
going Andy the comic book guy who has hosted a
Mallard meet and greet. Yeah, that's the fun Diggs story
(23:42):
with Cardi B. I don't know. I think that's real.
I don't know. You believe it? You believed that Cardi
B and Stefan Diggs were romantically involved?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Well she was about to pop out a kid there
that yeah? Why not? Why not?
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Pregnant women need love to ben Is that right?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Yes, we should hit that on next week's love segment.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Great idea, right, jot that down and they will know.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
So.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Sofan was doing a public service. That's what he was doing. Well.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
There's also there's also some other Stefan Diggs rumors we've seen.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I want to hold those and we'll talk to them
on the other side about that. All right, I've seen
a little bit. I haven't been you know, I'm not
that fascinated by it, but you know, it's it's intriguing.
We've heard of him so and there were stories when
he was with the Vikings that he was a dirty
dog with the Minnesota Vikings. Anyway, it is the Ben
Mallor Show. As we were rolling on, got to have
a fall guy. I also went upset some baseball observers.
(24:44):
The Royal Yankee game triggered some. We'll get to that.
We have Mallard of the third degree. But right now
that you caught up on everything going on, as Milton
pushes to the east coast of Florida, hes edy.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
That does remind me. I remember seeing a video about
Stefan Diggs we was in Minnesota. It was one of
his teammates was kind of going around saying, who would
you least like to date your sister? And every one
of them sends the fun digs like like twelve guys
all immediately said to the fun.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Dig so, yeah, they must be going for anything goes
with Stefan d.
Speaker 2 (25:21):

a back injury on ir Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson still
limited in practice, and running back Jonathan Taylor did not
practice with a hi high ankle sprain, he said, and
New York Giants pass rusher Cavon Thibodeau suffered a fractured
scaphold bone in his wrist. He had surgery to repair it.
(25:49):
Fractured wrist and it's listed as weak.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Nobody knows who that is. Nobody knows.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Do we want to educate them?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
No, you don't really don't learn something on the show.
They're smoking weed right now. They don't want to be
bothered by that. All right, It is the Ben Malers Show.
It is just another casual day Tiper fun fact here.
We got fun fack.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Fuck Ben Maler fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
So the Tigers in that win against the Cleveland baseball
team formerly called the Indians. The Tigers became the first
team ever to shut out their opponent in the playoff
game when their starter pitched no more than one inning. Now,
the Dodgers would have been the second team to do that,
but their starter, Ryan Bridger the Old Red Sox, he
went an inning and a third. So the Tigers first
(26:29):
team ever to shut out their opponent. Wow, in a
playoff game when the starter pitched no more than one inning.
Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to Andrew,
who's in Bakersfield. Hello Andrew. And by the way, hold on,
hold on, sec Andrew, what else did you have coupon
Stefan Diggs? You were saying you knew some other dirt
about Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Well, there's just there's other rumors going on around right now.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, like, what what do you hear? Sens you a link?
Or you want me to be the one to say

a it's alleged stuff, you know, we have to say
it's alleged.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
There's like some rumors going around that he allegedly uh
drugged and sexually assaulted.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
That's a big one.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yeah, this guy a guy.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
H I don't even I didn't see that story.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I sent you the story on your your d MS.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Oh did you in Twitter?
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Where was that from? Well? The internet? Tmz.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
This one is a radio station's website.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Radio station, the one that I sent Ben. Yeah, okay,
I see there.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I guess we'll see.
Speaker 1 (27:53):

I don't know. That's pretty pretty deep though. All right,
it is the Ben mash. Let's go to Andrew though.
Hello Andrew in Bakersfield, Hello andrew.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
Snoop doggay Robbert. Let's get Dave Roberts a round of
applause for a great night. Okay, wow, game two. I'm
yelling at the radio, bront the ball safety squeeze, Why
aren't you stealing? And he did it tonight, So I'm
(28:28):
happy for that. What do you think? No?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I would? What about noon? Praise Dave Roberts. They won
a game they shouldn't. The series should not be going
to a game five. The Dodgers are better than the Padres.
The fact that they could lose on Friday night is
a testimonial to Dave Roberts, and he's the fifth all
time losing his playoff manager. So I'm not going to
sit here and celebrate Dave Robert. You can't, but I'm not.
Speaker 7 (28:54):
All right, Well, we'll see how.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Shap Are you out of material already? Is that it?
Speaker 7 (29:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
You left the thirty second man, you have thirty two
seconds of material.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Hey, he spent a long time thinking about doing that.
Snoop Dogg, Dave Roberts, the Little Mash, any other.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Song you want to sing for us while you're on
the air, anything else you want to sing any diddy?
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Well I thought about saying, what about Bob? And I'm
not talking about Bob Slace. I'm talking about Dave Boberts,
Dave rob He did a great job in That's all
I have to say.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Oh that isn't funny?
Speaker 5 (29:34):
All right?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Thank you? Never did never do that again?
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Ye instid it?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Lame jokes of the week.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yet every day is lame jokes of the week in
this show. Come on, Speaking of a joke, let's say
hello to Angry Bill, who's in Florida. Hello, Angry Bill?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
How you doing? Everybody? But I know yesterday it was
a long time. I'llmember back to who were discussing the Dodgers.
I told you Dave Roberts said he was going to
do a bullpening game and the Dodgers would be fine.
How did that work out? I know you don't have
an opinion that your opinion of the bullpen game to
(30:16):
be your opinion. You don't like it, but it's called baseball. Now,
take a look at the box scores once in a while, Ben,
and you'll see numerous teams using it, and the Dodgers
use it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
So you're doing the everyone's doing it, so it's fine.
And I'm a posician that it's not fine. But you're
just a sucker, and that's how you're up. It's fine.
You can be a socker if you want. I mean
you you apparently embrace it. You think when everyone's doing it,
so it's fine. So if everyone does if everyone does fentanyl,
you're gonna do fentanyl because everyone's doing it.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
Because I wrote it. Your narcissistic opinion of baseball or
different things that go up in baseball don't mean nothing.
Do you understand that?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Then?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Well, I mean something. They actually actually pay my bills.
Uh see, I get paid to do this. You get
I don't think you get to call in. I don't
know are you on the payroll? If not, we got
to take you off the payroll. Is the Ben Mallards
show we are going to have coming up in a
few minutes. Mallard to the third degree. But a big
shake up in Boston. The Red Sox did not qualify
(31:15):
for the playoffs. And now you get a pink slip.
You get a pink slip. You get a pink slip.
They brought back Alex Korra. They signed him to an
extension during the season, and right after that the Socks
fell apart, So you gotta have a fall guy. The
Red Sox have fired their first base coach, their bullpen coach,
(31:35):
assistant hitting coach, their mental skills coach has been whacked,
the team trainer has gone, and my favorite, the bullpen catcher.
That's why the Red Sox didn't make the playoffs. The
bullpen catcher. Clearly that was the issue there. If only
they had a better bullpen catcher, they would have made
(31:57):
the playoffs. It's his one thousand percent, his fault. Time
Now for the Insta Trivia, Joan Carlos Stanton at that
game changing home run. That was the first Yankee go
ahead home run and the eighth inning or later in
the postseason. Since blank again, John Carlos Stanton. He went
(32:21):
to high school just down the street from where we
broadcast from. John Carlo Stanton game changing home run was
the first Yankee go ahead home run in the eighth
inning or later in the postseason. Since blank. That is
the insta trivia the answer, We'll get to it. We'll
do it next.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Time. Now for the Insta trivia with Mallard of the
third degree warming up and should be ready piping hot maulmentarily.
But here is the Insta trivia. Jean Carlos Stanton hit
that game changing home run? Was the first Yankees go
ahead home run in the eighth inning or later in
the postseason since blank? That is the question. What is
(33:38):
the answer? And we'll see does anyone know the answer?
We go to the Great Unwashed Big Lewis says it
has to be video of Eddie before his Beer League
hockey games. Wow, how about new Yeah, Ricky says the
answer has to be Ricky from Alf the Alien, Opiner
snorl Acts from ferg Dog the Dodge Bullpen. That's what's
(34:02):
in from og Art Puffin. Who else do we have?
The original mister made Dave Winfield when he was killing
seagulls in Toronto, Troy Tulwhisky, who was forty today from
the Late Night Drug Tester, the man Stefan Diggs allegedly drugged,
although there's a photo him right there from King Rory.
Who else do we have? Page down Albert belgues By
(34:23):
Sean in Portland, Mister Fuji from Donkey's Sausage that's his answer.
Several Dave Winfield answers, Andy from Lionel Lakes There, George
Costanza from our buddy Mallar prop guy who's been in studio,
Lieutenant Dan from Benito and somebody said Lieutenant Dan's like
(34:44):
a griffter and like he's a con man. I don't know,
I don't know what to make of that. Who else
we have? Alf is the answer from Massole Mickey, that's
his selection. Who else do we have? Mark in Santa Monica,
says Jolton. Joe DiMaggio is the answer. Aaron Boone from
Slim Tim What say you, na?
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Former Cleveland Indian legend Pat Tabler?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Is it Pat Tabler? No, Eddie, it's a bad job
by you. It is none other than Raoulbes in game
three of the twenty twelve a l DS. Raoulbes is
the answer. With all the fan fare, here we are.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
There, we are here, we are to the third degree.
This is one big fan, gets Grillkopolo.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Commander's defensive tackle Jonathan Allen made a radio appearance on
Tuesday and spoke on de Shaun Watson, saying he looked
like a player who's had stuff going on above the
shoulders and attributed his poor play to a lack of confidence.
Ben do you think that's what it is?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Uh, well, it's certainly part of it, but it's not
the main situation. He did have his ass kissed when
he was at Clemson, and I remember when in his
earliest career with the Texans, people, oh, Shan Watson is
the greatest thing in the world and all that, but
it goes beyond just the mental stuff. Like he physically
blows as a quarterback. He is the right now with
the Browns plan every week, Deshaun Watson is the twenty
(36:07):
ninth ranked quarterback in the NFL. Gardner Minshew just got
benched is a better quarterback than Watson. It's more than
just the mental stuff. It's part of it, but not
the only next.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Some are suggesting that with their win over the Seahawks,
the Giants have turned a corner and that stats actually
show the team to be better than expected, better the
Giants better than we thought.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
No, I'm not ready to say that. They lose to
the Bengals this weekend and they'll end off in that
seven win area and see, are they gonna make the
same mistake of paying Dan kil Choles. He's not that good.
He's not the guy, Pal, He's not the guy. I
say no next.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
It was announced Tuesday that Bud Black would be returning
to the Rockies on a one year contract. Now, the
Rockies haven't been to the playoffs in seven years. Why
do they keep going back to Black?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Because they have to have a manager major League Baseball man.
They're not trying to win, that's what they're telling you.
The front off is that we're not trying to win,
but we like somebody. He's good with the media. You know,
he's not going to embarrass the franchise. Bud Black. He's
done it for a long time and so just keep
him an How do we dow he passes? That is
a win. You get put on the bar.
