Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom goes the dynamite and in what that's baseball, Susan,
it's our d bird two, our number two. And a
story that took place last night at Chavez Ravine. In
the eighth inning, Dodger first baseman Freddie Freeman went over
to try to catch a ball near the Royals dugout
and the camerawell and.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Turned into Humpty Dumpty.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Nobody from Kansas City there to stop Freeman from falling.
Should the Royals be taking the heat they are taking
for not protecting Dodger star Freddie Freeman from crashing down
onto the floor in the dugout. Also in Pittsburgh, a
Pirates player going viral in the tabloids, Paul Skeens as
(00:46):
he was on the beach there in Florida. Should Paul Skeens,
the Pirate pitcher, be worried and the fans be worried?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
He's not in shape? Definitely not in shape. Is this
a big deal or what? Also?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Has Francisco Indoor successfully poured ice water on the chatter
that he is in his final days with the Mets.
A lot of speculation that he will be back on
the trading block if there is.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
A next season in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So we'll discuss that it's the Baseball Power Hour and
it's coming your way right now here.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It is an hour number two. Down goes Freddy, Down,
goes Freddy.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Wel come, in the beginning of another.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the
air ev.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Rewhere close together as we literally auction off our takes

(02:02):

They virtual audio world people escape from the dystopian real world, garanteed.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Now I got a complaint from the three amigos, Alf
Fergnog and Malaprop guy. They said, we really wanted a
nice live read. We did not get a mention at
the top of the hour. They were upset by that
they didn't get the proper mention, and so I said,
just relax because I had to mention from I think
it was Tom from Fullerton Outback, John and Joanna from
(02:41):
SoCal here in Covina and far out Dave in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Even Nick the Wendy's Guy.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You know it's big when Nick the Wendy's Guy reaches
out and they all said, Matherd, we need some bull.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
We would like some bull. I said, you know what,
if all of you idiots want bull, we'll give you bull.

(03:21):
we had a few gremlins last hour that we didn't
talk about.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Kept them off the air.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But the gremlins, I believe I've successfully used my superpowers
to kill all the gremlins, So I think we're good
in that department. Our lead this hour from Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's the Baseball Power Hour.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
So last hour, you guys can plain because I talked
about the NBA. This hour, you can bitch at me
because you're talking about baseball.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Wouldn't do it?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Baseball season, the playoffs don't go on there the study.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
We're not even close to October. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Right?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So very rarely do we get a nice, smooth, controversial
story in baseball on the day to day. It doesn't
typically happen. We had one of those stories that took
place in the late game in Chavez Ravine. The Doyers
are back on track. The sky was falling. The sky
(04:16):
was falling, and because of several tough love malar monologues
or just playing the Kansas City Royals, the low leagu
Kansas City Royals, the Dodgers have figured some stuff out
all of a sudden, and they completed the sweep. Good
evening and good afternoon and all that. Bye bye, see
you later. So the Royals are out of LA. Dodgers
(04:38):
swept them. However, that is not the story. The Dodgers
winning three against the Royals is not the story.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
That would not rise to the level of a malar monologue.
Did you see what did? No?
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Maybe maybe you did not?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Okay, So let's take it back to the game on
Wednesday night. First baseman Freddie Freeman in the eighth inning.
He had to leave the game. This after he went tumbling. Down,
goes Freddy, Down, goes Freddy.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
He was trying to make a defensive play at first base.
It did not work out.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Some no name Royals player popped up near the case
visiting dugout there. Freeman went over to try to field
the ball right near the camera well in the back
part of the dugout, and he stumbled, and he bumbled
and pretty much went face first into the concrete floor
(05:36):
in that part of the dugout. It was the first
base side obviously plays first base down the line kind
of the camera well and then behind the camera wells
the back part of the dugout area.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
He did not catch the.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Ball, and everyone freaked out, and you thought he had
died and we'd.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Be sitting Shiva for Freddie Freeman. Apparently not.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
He popped back up briefly stayed in the game defensive
before being removed.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Out of an abundance of caution.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Remember that during COVID, out of an abundance of caution,
was removed for a pinchhitter and a later evaluated Tommy
Edmond was the pinchhitter.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
And he was evaluated later.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now I got several immediate messages from Dodger fans who
are apple plectic is the use. They're very upset with
the Royals and as much as you can get worked
into a lather over the Royals, who are not a
(06:34):
good team this year, they feel like there was a
great injustice that was done because nobody ran over to
protect Freddie Freeman from going into the concrete floor of
the camera well slash doug out. There's some steps there,
So this has become a big issue. We're going to
get in on this right now. That's a good jumping
(06:56):
off point. So let us discuss the question you are
the should the Royals?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Should the Royals have done something more?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Should they be taking heat for not protecting the Dodger
first baseman, Freddie Freeman from crashing in to the back
part of their dugout. So my observations on this, I've
got Hulk Hogan, celebrity endorser, and sunflower.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Seeds and we will combine all of these things together,
all of them, and we are going to make some
delicious cheese fries.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yum yum to my toumu tongue. So number one one.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Okay, so after a minutes long deliberation of the available information,
I have a rule.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Even though the Dodger fans are.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Angry enough to apparently chew railroad spikes, they're very upset
to acting as if Kansas City has now violated the
Geneva Convention by failing to form a human crash pad
for Freddie Freeman. My position on this is clear. I
really agree with you that the optics are not good.
They stink l stinko are the optics. However, you gotta
(08:11):
look at this subjective. Freddie goes flying towards the dugout.
The royal staff reacted like they were at Disneyland and
they saw a tourist, you know, slip on a banana
peal and go flying. But my position is this, what
were they supposed to do? What was supposed to happen?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I got watched.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Were they supposed to sound the air raid siren and
have employees form one of those cheerleading pyramids? You know
when the girls do that the cheerleading competitions. I Belichick knows.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
About that, when they have to fall down there.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, so there's no MLB rule, And I look, there's
no MLB rule requiring the opposing dugout to provide a
complementary roadside assistance when your first baseman goes flying over
the railing like he's doing cosplay as hul Cogan in
a Clasic WrestleMania move back in the day. And by
(09:03):
the way, there weren't even any Royals players in that
part of the dugout. They were probably eating fried chicken
and drinking beer up in the clubhouse. They were not
even there, right, There was no one there from the
players standpoint to save him. There were a few of
the auxiliary hangars on the support staff.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
For the Royals who were there.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And those guys now have suddenly become defendants in the
court of Dodgers social media jail. They're being sent to
jail by the court of the Dodgers social media people.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
But here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Listen, Freeman, he's been around forever, had one of the
great home runs in World Series history to slay the
Yankees in Game one, that Grand Salami. But Freeman miss
judged the ball, he misplayed the terrain and.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
And then he took a tumble because of that, and
ultimately that's on him.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I believe in personal accountability.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You cannot screw up, and then you mess up the
play and then you're like, Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Let me send in Kansas City an invoice for.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Failing to catch me. You know, And I know everything's
different now, and we used to believe in competition and
you're not supposed to like your opponent and all that.
And I know times when we all hang out together
there and sing Kumbayah and smoke the piece pipe and
it's all great now and everyone's in bed with everyone else.
I get that there's no still no rule that you
have to help. It would have looked better if somebody
(10:30):
had helped. You can't be upset that they didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You can't go into it having the expectation that it
was gonna work out that way. Now, Page two to
the tabloids in South Florida, that is where Livy Done
and boyfriend Paul Skeins, that's the guy that pitches for Pittsburgh.
They were spotted by the paparazzi enjoying a beach.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Can you imagine a beach in in.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Key Biscayne, Florida. Nobody ever enjoys the beaches in Keebiscain flow.
This is during the Pirates trip this week to Miami.
The beach outing came one day after Paul Skeen started
against the Miami Marlins and did not go that great
for him in that game. The timing, of course notable.
There's been a lot of chatter what's going on with
(11:17):
Paul Skeens. He hasn't pitched all that great for at
least a month, if not two months now. And Skeens
was actually pulled from that start after only sixty five pitches,
of course, out of an abundance of caution.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Pittsburgh lost that game too.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Nothing to the Marlins and the people that are all
about the speed, they have a need for speed. Very upset,
the nerddom very upset that his fastball topped out at
ninety six point five miles per hour, because apparently there's
only one way to get people out, and that's to
throw the fastball.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
God forbid, you actually use guts and guyle on the mound.
There's no room for that.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And so everyone's freaking out of a lot doing the
dipsy do, and everyone's upset by that. So the Pirates
manager Don Kelly. Don Kelly insisted that Paul Skeens is fine.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
As all managers do.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
They never admit. I never admit that someone's hurt. Now
sometimes they'll say somebody's hurt to cover up for poor
performance that didn't go on at all here, he said.
According to Kelly last, I check not a doctor. Paul
Skeins is not injured, he said the Pirates manager. He
acknowledged that everybody is going through it, meaning the Pirates
are having issues. So social media, of course saw these
(12:33):
photos of Paul Skeens on the beach and Libby Dunn,
and shockingly, they didn't just focus on the beautiful woman.
They focused on the fact that Paul Skeens appeared to
have a beer belly.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Not appeared to have a beer belly. He had a
beer belly, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
So the question should the Buckoes fans, the Pirates fans,
all twelve of them, be worried Paul Skeens is not
in shape and this one I'm gonna go hell no.
I Am going to go hell no. Baseball, if you
haven't been paying attention over the years, has been the
(13:09):
official sanctuary of.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
The Dad Bod for at least one hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I was fortunate enough in my younger days to spend
a lot of time in locker rooms for all the
major sports, all the big sports in the industrial complex
of professional sports, from hockey to baseball, basketball and professional football.
And I can promise you that the way that Paul
Skins looks now is the same way I remember baseball
(13:37):
players looking in the mid nineties, thirty years ago. It's
the same exact thing. So it hasn't changed at all.
And I call what he is and what baseball players
are fit fat, and it's something I aspire to be
fit fat. And oh, by the way, with that same
beer belly, Paul Skeins went out and won the twenty
(13:58):
twenty five Cy Young Award with that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Flabby chassis, the same flabby chassis, and he went out
and won the SiO War.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So who cares if he looks like he's one brought
worst away from a food coma as long as he's
getting it done now, the velocity dip is only a
problem when you're not getting out. As we said, there
are other ways as a pitcher to succeed. Not that
many attempt that. And you look down upon because these
broadcasters are so lazy. They just look at the radar gun,
(14:28):
and they say, well, instead of propping up a picture
for being able to get heres out without having velocities, Well,
he's a.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Soft light thrower. And I'll who cares, right, and again,
as far as.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Like the physical appearance of these guys and Paul Skins
in this case, like, there's not many people who care
if he's got a six pack, you know, in the
Witness Protection program while he's auditioning. It appeared to me
he's auditioning to be the celebrity endorser Paul Skins to
(14:59):
be the new Pillsbury doughboy, which is fine, And I
think what we should do is be celebrating the fact
that Paul Skins, who does have a beer belly and
has a dad body.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
And I don't think he has any kids, but give
him credit.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
He's able to keep Libby done, one of the most
famous famous she is. But she's a beautiful woman under
his spell while she is prepared for the one of
the lead babes in the upcoming reboot of Baywatch, which
is going to be out in January. Right, and oh,
by the way, is it true that these things are related?
(15:38):
Is it true that the timing on this is more
than just convenient that those beaches frolicking around the beaches
there in Florida, South Florida for Libby Dunn, and all
of a sudden the Papa Rozzo shows up there, that
it just happened organically, or or could it have been
(15:59):
that the Baywatch actress did not get randomly photographed frolicking
around the beach there with her boyfriend, and it couldn't
be that this was a leak choreography, that somewhere there's
a Fox publicist doing the Leo DiCaprio pointing at the
(16:19):
TV meme.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I did that. I set that up. I set that up.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I did that.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yes, all right, So if that's true, if I'm right,
and I'm pretty confident I am right on this as
I understand it, that would mean that Libby Dunn knew
the paparazzi was going to be there to take.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Some photos, so she made sure she looked good.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You know, most people want to look good on the beach,
and that her boyfriend, the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skens,
took shrapnel that.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I'm sure she probably told him, but even if she didn't,
it's my god, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Final point to New New York City, where the Mets
are a baseball team and not a good one. However,
they are pretty good at making headlines. Francisco Lindor gave
a state of his Mets career address very depressing and
Mets have been playing a little bit better now that
they've pretty much been eliminated from all competition. Plan out
the string, Lindor says his plan in quotes is to
(17:22):
remain with the Metropolitans for the duration of his contract,
which has oh by the way, not one, not two,
not three, not four, five years left.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Five years left on his contract.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Lindor said he signed with New York to experience the
good times and the bad times and to win, signaling
that he isn't looking for an exit, despite the Mets
often riding the vomit comment. Now that goes against what
(17:52):
the general manager of the Mets, David Stern said before
the trade deadline.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He said that he was not going to rule out.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Any player, rule in or out any player in terms
of trades. Specifically, he was asked about Francisco lindorri says,
I'm not going to rule out or in any specific player. Now,
if you were convinced you're going to keep Lindor, you
would have said, oh, now, Lindor is not available.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
We love this guy, he's our guy. We can't triad.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
He didn't say that, So any Lindor trade would have
to require his permission, because his contract contains a full
no trade clause giving him control.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Over any kind of movement.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So the question, has Francisco Lindor successfully poured ice water.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
On the chatter that he's in his final days with
the Mets.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, So if you believe that that is what happened here,
you must be new in these parts, because I would
recommend you go down to the store and buy a clue.
Because Lindor saying he want wants to stay is legally required,
not emotionally. Sincere legally required, not emotionally in sincere. And
(19:03):
I'm telling you what's going on here. I've seen this
many times over the years. It's a cold war between
the player and the front office. It's a cold war.
They don't like each other right now, they're not happy,
and they just haven't started the part where they throw
out the lamp and the furniture out the window, like
Antonio Brown famously did back in the day. But the
(19:24):
relationship has gone stale. The Mets. They're open to trading
Francisco Laura. It's pretty obvious there's a lot of tension
behind the scenes. They keep saying everything's fine, everything's fine
between Juan Soto and Lindor.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, right, that is a.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Geo political crisis with Sunflower seeds. The team blows the Mets.
Lindor's production is on the decline. The front office won't
even give him the ceremonial untouchable label.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Which almost everyone does. It's just a throwaway line.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
But Lindor, as we mentioned, he's got a full no
trade clause. Now that means the New York Mets are
going to have to use a Jedi mind trick to
get him to rubber stamp a deal, and that would
mean he'd have to go to his preferred destination, which
seemingly would be a good team or a glamour market
like the Yankees or the Red Sox, possibly back to Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Possibly back to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And not only are they going to have to use
a Jedi mind trick, they're going to have to buy
an inflatable bouncy house full of Steve Cohen's money to
subsidize the contract certainly have Cleveland's involved, but all roads,
all roads lead to a nice story, an ugly divorce,
good for talk radio. Of course, it'll be delayed, likely
(20:43):
because of a pending work stoppage. When that work stoppage
does end, depending on what baseball looks like after the
nuclear winter, we will revisit this and see what the
Mets can do with Francisco Lindor. Now at this point
they're kind of stuck with him. It is the Ben
Malor Show. We will talk about that last hour. If
you missed it, some of you might have missed it.
(21:04):
The Mallard monologue on a Los Angeles Clipper fan buying
the Lakers, one of the great knights as a sports
fan in my life, just tremendously embarrassing for the once
proud Laker franchise they sold to a Clipper fan, Bob
Iger on tape on video, Clipper fan, Bob Iger, it's true.

an incident at The dodger game last, Night Freddy freeman
going over to try to catch a ball near the.
Dugout it didn't go so well For freddy and he went.
Tumbling it was a pretty good fall in the. Dugout
reminds me years ago there was a team that wore
periwinkle and there this guy Named Maurice, vaughan better known
(26:27):
as Mo Vaughn Red sox. Legend he had signed this
big contract with The.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
ANGELS i think that was his first. GAME i think
it Was opening night.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
At The BIG, a wearing the, periwinkle and he went tumbling.
Down wasn't exactly the, same but he went tumbling down
in The angels dugout and that was the end Of
Mo vaughn as an Effective Major league baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Player he was never ever all that good after, that
and they just blamed that. Incident we'll see what happens With.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Freddy they Took Freddy freeman out of the, game they
being The, dowyers out of an abundance of caution.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
After a little.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Bit so we'll see if he ends up. Planning SO

up fifteen years. Ago but you don't remember being locked
up because it's not a good. Memory you wouldn't, recall.
Dude SO i got to explain to, you, guys we
have some time. Now it's a weird, spot SO i
could explain to You, lorena so away the transgender woman
(32:56):
would play in THE, Wnba And i'm explaining this To.
Lorena so first say, Hey, lorena you want a chance
at playing in the W, Nba So loraina should get
a chance, first you. Know SO i don't think there's
any Way lorraine is playing in the W. NBA i
just don't think she's gonna work.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Out what do you what are you talking? About her
nickname is lay Up. Lorena that's her nickname right back
in that you always got, Layups. Lorena you would lay
Up loraina back in the.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
DAY i don't think it would be safe for her
to play against those broads from Like, chicago you, know
JUST i don't think it's. Good so then they give
it to a, Train they give it a chance to
another type of. Woman but you have to have the
Correct LIKE i have a lot of estrogen in. Me you,
know you have to have the right hormone. Levels it's
not just like some dude coming from playing a fitness or,
whatever just.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
That's the thing though THE, wnb no one ever talks about.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
The games W nobody cares about. That it's all about
the culture. War that's all the league is the culture.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
War, yeah they hijacked this. Fort but if you go
To canada you can see this stuff that's actually going
on In. Canada but no one cares About canada Because
canadians are so boring and there's like they're not they're not,
relevant you know What i'm, Saying it's just they're.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Koubalo you passed this? Edition that is a rude on the, bar,
dude
Boom goes the dynamite and in what that's baseball, Susan,
it's our d bird two, our number two. And a
story that took place last night at Chavez Ravine. In
the eighth inning, Dodger first baseman Freddie Freeman went over
to try to catch a ball near the Royals dugout
and the camerawell and.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Turned into Humpty Dumpty.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Nobody from Kansas City there to stop Freeman from falling.
Should the Royals be taking the heat they are taking
for not protecting Dodger star Freddie Freeman from crashing down
onto the floor in the dugout. Also in Pittsburgh, a
Pirates player going viral in the tabloids, Paul Skeens as
(00:46):
he was on the beach there in Florida. Should Paul Skeens,
the Pirate pitcher, be worried and the fans be worried?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
He's not in shape? Definitely not in shape. Is this
a big deal or what? Also?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Has Francisco Indoor successfully poured ice water on the chatter
that he is in his final days with the Mets.
A lot of speculation that he will be back on
the trading block if there is.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
A next season in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So we'll discuss that it's the Baseball Power Hour and
it's coming your way right now here.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It is an hour number two. Down goes Freddy, Down,
goes Freddy.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Wel come, in the beginning of another.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the
air ev.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Rewhere close together as we literally auction off our takes
to the highest bidder. And this hour's takes paid for
by Mark the full name guy, who knew that I
know unless I made that up coast to coast, border
to border in beyond on the vest and supremely powerful
(02:02):
microphones of fs are em monating live from the world.
They virtual audio world people escape from the dystopian real world, garanteed.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Now I got a complaint from the three amigos, Alf
Fergnog and Malaprop guy. They said, we really wanted a
nice live read. We did not get a mention at
the top of the hour. They were upset by that
they didn't get the proper mention, and so I said,
just relax because I had to mention from I think
it was Tom from Fullerton Outback, John and Joanna from
(02:41):
SoCal here in Covina and far out Dave in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Even Nick the Wendy's Guy.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You know it's big when Nick the Wendy's Guy reaches
out and they all said, Matherd, we need some bull.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
We would like some bull. I said, you know what,
if all of you idiots want bull, we'll give you bull.
And I said, we'll give you wee Bull.

(03:21):
we had a few gremlins last hour that we didn't
talk about.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Kept them off the air.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But the gremlins, I believe I've successfully used my superpowers
to kill all the gremlins, So I think we're good
in that department. Our lead this hour from Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's the Baseball Power Hour.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
So last hour, you guys can plain because I talked
about the NBA. This hour, you can bitch at me
because you're talking about baseball.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Wouldn't do it?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Baseball season, the playoffs don't go on there the study.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
We're not even close to October. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Right?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So very rarely do we get a nice, smooth, controversial
story in baseball on the day to day. It doesn't
typically happen. We had one of those stories that took
place in the late game in Chavez Ravine. The Doyers
are back on track. The sky was falling. The sky
(04:16):
was falling, and because of several tough love malar monologues
or just playing the Kansas City Royals, the low leagu
Kansas City Royals, the Dodgers have figured some stuff out
all of a sudden, and they completed the sweep. Good
evening and good afternoon and all that. Bye bye, see
you later. So the Royals are out of LA. Dodgers
(04:38):
swept them. However, that is not the story. The Dodgers
winning three against the Royals is not the story.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
That would not rise to the level of a malar monologue.
Did you see what did? No?
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Maybe maybe you did not?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Okay, So let's take it back to the game on
Wednesday night. First baseman Freddie Freeman in the eighth inning.
He had to leave the game. This after he went tumbling. Down,
goes Freddy, Down, goes Freddy.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
He was trying to make a defensive play at first base.
It did not work out.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Some no name Royals player popped up near the case
visiting dugout there. Freeman went over to try to field
the ball right near the camera well in the back
part of the dugout, and he stumbled, and he bumbled
and pretty much went face first into the concrete floor
(05:36):
in that part of the dugout. It was the first
base side obviously plays first base down the line kind
of the camera well and then behind the camera wells
the back part of the dugout area.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
He did not catch the.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Ball, and everyone freaked out, and you thought he had
died and we'd.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Be sitting Shiva for Freddie Freeman. Apparently not.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
He popped back up briefly stayed in the game defensive
before being removed.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Out of an abundance of caution.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Remember that during COVID, out of an abundance of caution,
was removed for a pinchhitter and a later evaluated Tommy
Edmond was the pinchhitter.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
And he was evaluated later.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now I got several immediate messages from Dodger fans who
are apple plectic is the use. They're very upset with
the Royals and as much as you can get worked
into a lather over the Royals, who are not a
(06:34):
good team this year, they feel like there was a
great injustice that was done because nobody ran over to
protect Freddie Freeman from going into the concrete floor of
the camera well slash doug out. There's some steps there,
So this has become a big issue. We're going to
get in on this right now. That's a good jumping
(06:56):
off point. So let us discuss the question you are
the should the Royals?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Should the Royals have done something more?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Should they be taking heat for not protecting the Dodger
first baseman, Freddie Freeman from crashing in to the back
part of their dugout. So my observations on this, I've
got Hulk Hogan, celebrity endorser, and sunflower.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Seeds and we will combine all of these things together,
all of them, and we are going to make some
delicious cheese fries.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yum yum to my toumu tongue. So number one one.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Okay, so after a minutes long deliberation of the available information,
I have a rule.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Even though the Dodger fans are.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Angry enough to apparently chew railroad spikes, they're very upset
to acting as if Kansas City has now violated the
Geneva Convention by failing to form a human crash pad
for Freddie Freeman. My position on this is clear. I
really agree with you that the optics are not good.
They stink l stinko are the optics. However, you gotta
(08:11):
look at this subjective. Freddie goes flying towards the dugout.
The royal staff reacted like they were at Disneyland and
they saw a tourist, you know, slip on a banana
peal and go flying. But my position is this, what
were they supposed to do? What was supposed to happen?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I got watched.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Were they supposed to sound the air raid siren and
have employees form one of those cheerleading pyramids? You know
when the girls do that the cheerleading competitions. I Belichick knows.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
About that, when they have to fall down there.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, so there's no MLB rule, And I look, there's
no MLB rule requiring the opposing dugout to provide a
complementary roadside assistance when your first baseman goes flying over
the railing like he's doing cosplay as hul Cogan in
a Clasic WrestleMania move back in the day. And by
(09:03):
the way, there weren't even any Royals players in that
part of the dugout. They were probably eating fried chicken
and drinking beer up in the clubhouse. They were not
even there, right, There was no one there from the
players standpoint to save him. There were a few of
the auxiliary hangars on the support staff.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
For the Royals who were there.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And those guys now have suddenly become defendants in the
court of Dodgers social media jail. They're being sent to
jail by the court of the Dodgers social media people.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
But here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Listen, Freeman, he's been around forever, had one of the
great home runs in World Series history to slay the
Yankees in Game one, that Grand Salami. But Freeman miss
judged the ball, he misplayed the terrain and.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
And then he took a tumble because of that, and
ultimately that's on him.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I believe in personal accountability.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You cannot screw up, and then you mess up the
play and then you're like, Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Let me send in Kansas City an invoice for.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Failing to catch me. You know, And I know everything's
different now, and we used to believe in competition and
you're not supposed to like your opponent and all that.
And I know times when we all hang out together
there and sing Kumbayah and smoke the piece pipe and
it's all great now and everyone's in bed with everyone else.
I get that there's no still no rule that you
have to help. It would have looked better if somebody
(10:30):
had helped. You can't be upset that they didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You can't go into it having the expectation that it
was gonna work out that way. Now, Page two to
the tabloids in South Florida, that is where Livy Done
and boyfriend Paul Skeins, that's the guy that pitches for Pittsburgh.
They were spotted by the paparazzi enjoying a beach.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Can you imagine a beach in in.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Key Biscayne, Florida. Nobody ever enjoys the beaches in Keebiscain flow.
This is during the Pirates trip this week to Miami.
The beach outing came one day after Paul Skeen started
against the Miami Marlins and did not go that great
for him in that game. The timing, of course notable.
There's been a lot of chatter what's going on with
(11:17):
Paul Skeens. He hasn't pitched all that great for at
least a month, if not two months now. And Skeens
was actually pulled from that start after only sixty five pitches,
of course, out of an abundance of caution.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Pittsburgh lost that game too.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Nothing to the Marlins and the people that are all
about the speed, they have a need for speed. Very upset,
the nerddom very upset that his fastball topped out at
ninety six point five miles per hour, because apparently there's
only one way to get people out, and that's to
throw the fastball.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
God forbid, you actually use guts and guyle on the mound.
There's no room for that.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And so everyone's freaking out of a lot doing the
dipsy do, and everyone's upset by that. So the Pirates
manager Don Kelly. Don Kelly insisted that Paul Skeens is fine.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
As all managers do.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
They never admit. I never admit that someone's hurt. Now
sometimes they'll say somebody's hurt to cover up for poor
performance that didn't go on at all here, he said.
According to Kelly last, I check not a doctor. Paul
Skeins is not injured, he said the Pirates manager. He
acknowledged that everybody is going through it, meaning the Pirates
are having issues. So social media, of course saw these
(12:33):
photos of Paul Skeens on the beach and Libby Dunn,
and shockingly, they didn't just focus on the beautiful woman.
They focused on the fact that Paul Skeens appeared to
have a beer belly.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Not appeared to have a beer belly. He had a
beer belly, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
So the question should the Buckoes fans, the Pirates fans,
all twelve of them, be worried Paul Skeens is not
in shape and this one I'm gonna go hell no.
I Am going to go hell no. Baseball, if you
haven't been paying attention over the years, has been the
(13:09):
official sanctuary of.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
The Dad Bod for at least one hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I was fortunate enough in my younger days to spend
a lot of time in locker rooms for all the
major sports, all the big sports in the industrial complex
of professional sports, from hockey to baseball, basketball and professional football.
And I can promise you that the way that Paul
Skins looks now is the same way I remember baseball
(13:37):
players looking in the mid nineties, thirty years ago. It's
the same exact thing. So it hasn't changed at all.
And I call what he is and what baseball players
are fit fat, and it's something I aspire to be
fit fat. And oh, by the way, with that same
beer belly, Paul Skeins went out and won the twenty
(13:58):
twenty five Cy Young Award with that.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Flabby chassis, the same flabby chassis, and he went out
and won the SiO War.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So who cares if he looks like he's one brought
worst away from a food coma as long as he's
getting it done now, the velocity dip is only a
problem when you're not getting out. As we said, there
are other ways as a pitcher to succeed. Not that
many attempt that. And you look down upon because these
broadcasters are so lazy. They just look at the radar gun,
(14:28):
and they say, well, instead of propping up a picture
for being able to get heres out without having velocities, Well,
he's a.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Soft light thrower. And I'll who cares, right, and again,
as far as.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Like the physical appearance of these guys and Paul Skins
in this case, like, there's not many people who care
if he's got a six pack, you know, in the
Witness Protection program while he's auditioning. It appeared to me
he's auditioning to be the celebrity endorser Paul Skins to
(14:59):
be the new Pillsbury doughboy, which is fine, And I
think what we should do is be celebrating the fact
that Paul Skins, who does have a beer belly and
has a dad body.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
And I don't think he has any kids, but give
him credit.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
He's able to keep Libby done, one of the most
famous famous she is. But she's a beautiful woman under
his spell while she is prepared for the one of
the lead babes in the upcoming reboot of Baywatch, which
is going to be out in January. Right, and oh,
by the way, is it true that these things are related?
(15:38):
Is it true that the timing on this is more
than just convenient that those beaches frolicking around the beaches
there in Florida, South Florida for Libby Dunn, and all
of a sudden the Papa Rozzo shows up there, that
it just happened organically, or or could it have been
(15:59):
that the Baywatch actress did not get randomly photographed frolicking
around the beach there with her boyfriend, and it couldn't
be that this was a leak choreography, that somewhere there's
a Fox publicist doing the Leo DiCaprio pointing at the
(16:19):
TV meme.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I did that. I set that up. I set that up.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I did that.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yes, all right, So if that's true, if I'm right,
and I'm pretty confident I am right on this as
I understand it, that would mean that Libby Dunn knew
the paparazzi was going to be there to take.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Some photos, so she made sure she looked good.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
You know, most people want to look good on the beach,
and that her boyfriend, the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skens,
took shrapnel that.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I'm sure she probably told him, but even if she didn't,
it's my god, all right.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Final point to New New York City, where the Mets
are a baseball team and not a good one. However,
they are pretty good at making headlines. Francisco Lindor gave
a state of his Mets career address very depressing and
Mets have been playing a little bit better now that
they've pretty much been eliminated from all competition. Plan out
the string, Lindor says his plan in quotes is to
(17:22):
remain with the Metropolitans for the duration of his contract,
which has oh by the way, not one, not two,
not three, not four, five years left.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Five years left on his contract.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Lindor said he signed with New York to experience the
good times and the bad times and to win, signaling
that he isn't looking for an exit, despite the Mets
often riding the vomit comment. Now that goes against what
(17:52):
the general manager of the Mets, David Stern said before
the trade deadline.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He said that he was not going to rule out.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Any player, rule in or out any player in terms
of trades. Specifically, he was asked about Francisco lindorri says,
I'm not going to rule out or in any specific player. Now,
if you were convinced you're going to keep Lindor, you
would have said, oh, now, Lindor is not available.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
We love this guy, he's our guy. We can't triad.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
He didn't say that, So any Lindor trade would have
to require his permission, because his contract contains a full
no trade clause giving him control.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Over any kind of movement.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So the question, has Francisco Lindor successfully poured ice water.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
On the chatter that he's in his final days with
the Mets.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, So if you believe that that is what happened here,
you must be new in these parts, because I would
recommend you go down to the store and buy a clue.
Because Lindor saying he want wants to stay is legally required,
not emotionally. Sincere legally required, not emotionally in sincere. And
(19:03):
I'm telling you what's going on here. I've seen this
many times over the years. It's a cold war between
the player and the front office. It's a cold war.
They don't like each other right now, they're not happy,
and they just haven't started the part where they throw
out the lamp and the furniture out the window, like
Antonio Brown famously did back in the day. But the
(19:24):
relationship has gone stale. The Mets. They're open to trading
Francisco Laura. It's pretty obvious there's a lot of tension
behind the scenes. They keep saying everything's fine, everything's fine
between Juan Soto and Lindor.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, right, that is a.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Geo political crisis with Sunflower seeds. The team blows the Mets.
Lindor's production is on the decline. The front office won't
even give him the ceremonial untouchable label.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Which almost everyone does. It's just a throwaway line.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
But Lindor, as we mentioned, he's got a full no
trade clause. Now that means the New York Mets are
going to have to use a Jedi mind trick to
get him to rubber stamp a deal, and that would
mean he'd have to go to his preferred destination, which
seemingly would be a good team or a glamour market
like the Yankees or the Red Sox, possibly back to Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Possibly back to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And not only are they going to have to use
a Jedi mind trick, they're going to have to buy
an inflatable bouncy house full of Steve Cohen's money to
subsidize the contract certainly have Cleveland's involved, but all roads,
all roads lead to a nice story, an ugly divorce,
good for talk radio. Of course, it'll be delayed, likely
(20:43):
because of a pending work stoppage. When that work stoppage
does end, depending on what baseball looks like after the
nuclear winter, we will revisit this and see what the
Mets can do with Francisco Lindor. Now at this point
they're kind of stuck with him. It is the Ben
Malor Show. We will talk about that last hour. If
you missed it, some of you might have missed it.
(21:04):
The Mallard monologue on a Los Angeles Clipper fan buying
the Lakers, one of the great knights as a sports
fan in my life, just tremendously embarrassing for the once

Iger on tape on video, Clipper fan, Bob Iger, it's true.
