Speaker 1 (00:00):
Playball. It's our name bird too, our number two. Now,
chances are if you listen to the Ben Maler Show
podcast that you were a person working the day shift.
Maybe you're one of the people that used to listen
live at night and you took the money like Chris
and Houston or Can't Close the deal'neil or some of
(00:20):
the other legends that went to the day shift and
we lost them as active members of the show during
the live edition. So when you have a sporting event
that goes late, people that worked the day shift love
to complain. For us, it's a great mitzvah. For example,
we were on the air moments after moments after the
World Series end. We actually in a commercial break at
(00:41):
the time Freddie Freeman was to hear it the game
winning home run leading off the eighteenth inning Game three
of the World Series. That's right, eighteen innings. What stood
out from the eighteen inning thriller at the ravine goes
to the Dodgers. Also, what is the word for trying
to watch the Blue Jays and Dodgers flail away in
extra innings during the World Series. The Dodgers' bullpen, which
(01:05):
has been the definition of suck was outstanding, thanks in
large part to some help by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Also with the Blue Jay pitching staff pitching around, pitching around,
show Hail Tani. Four intentional walks, five walks in the game.
Does Major League Baseball need to revisit and change the
(01:26):
intentional walk rule? Bad for the sport? We'll discuss. I
will give you my position, my nuanced position on that
right now here. It is our number two. Freddy puts
the Blue Jays to Betty Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in
(01:49):
the air everywhere as we form a band, we do,
and we are where fresh shakes are always in coast
to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast
and excessively powerful microphones of fsre emmnating live from the
(02:13):
basis as we cover all the bases from the world
famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by Manuel in
Guardena and our blind friend from Bakersfield. But we don't
have to say name because he didn't watch the game.
And this portion of the Ben Mallor Show on Fox
made possible in part by our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook.

convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack dot
com the way tire buying should be and our lead
(03:18):
this story from Chavez Ravine that the scene Downtown LA.
Overlooking Downtown La. That the stage for Game three of
the World Series. You had Vladimir Guerrero Junior Flattie leading
the Blue Jays as they flew into La for a
matchup with sho Hey O'tani and the Dodgers. Not the
(03:40):
start of the game seven some hours ago. You had
Mac Schurzer versus Tyler Glass. Now that was the matchup.
Start Joe Davis and John Smoltz had the call, and
the game ended about ten minutes ago. We're doing this
in real time. The game ended in about ten minutes ago.
And why edited in ten minutes ago because Freddie Freeman
(04:03):
to the moon. If you didn't see it, Freddy Freeman
hits a game ender, eighteen inning walk off home run
for Freddie Freeman as the Dodgers and Blue Jays played
free baseball. A solo home run by Freddie Freeman the
bottom of the eighteenth and the Blue Crew get a
six to five win in a game that took six
(04:24):
hours and thirty nine minutes, six hours and thirty nine minutes,
a game that had several points where the Blue Jays
could have, should have and would have won, but they
did not win. So let us discuss. That's a good
jumping off point. Freddie Freeman your October hero. And so
the question on this one, the question is what stands out?
(04:46):
What is your knee jerk reaction to Game three of
the World Series, which just ended a couple of minutes ago.
So I've got on this one. I've got kryptonite. We've
also got Rancho Koukamonga. And if that was not enough,
we will throw in for added effect, we will throw
in the cry babies, and we'll mix all of these
(05:09):
things together, and we are going to make the babaganoochs.
We're gonna make the baba ganoosh. So the first thing
that stands out is the amount of baseball that was played.
I mean, this is eighteen innings of baseball between the
Dodgers and Blue Jays. And you look at some of
the numbers here, which are historic. The Dodgers, for example,
left eighteen runners on base in this game, eighteen runners
(05:30):
on base. The Toronto Blue Jays they ended up with
nineteen runners left on base. The Blue Jays were two
of twelve in runners in scoring positions, so they were
not very good in that to barment. The Dodgers on
the other side, and obviously not good either. They were
two for fourteen. It was the show Hey Otani game.
More on that in a minute. Otani, who was absolutely cooking.
(05:52):
He was four for four, and then the Blue Jays
eventually decided, well, we're not gonna let him beat us,
and so they started walking him. He was walked five times,
four of those intentional, and Otani tying a major League
baseball record for most times reaching base, as he ended
up on base nine times in Game three of the
(06:12):
World Series. So he's had two massive playoff games, the
one against the Brew crew with all the home runs
and the pitching, and now this game where the Blue
Jays just completely could not get him out. They gave up.
So it's that. And then obviously Freddie Freeman, there'll be
seventeen thousand promotions next year. Freddie Freeman, bobblehead, Freddie Freeman,
(06:33):
replica Jersey, Freddie Freeman, this, Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
But the walk off home run right over the three
to ninety five sign in center field at Dodger Stadium,
and the Dodgers have won it, and Freddy that post.
He knew he was going to be in the like
the bobblehead next year, so he had the number one
finger in the air. He said, number one right there,
every everywhere. So the now here's a fun factoid. Are
(07:01):
you ready for a fun factoid mixed in fun fact
All right? So we are told that is now official.
There have only been two eighteen inning games in world
serious history, and Brad Paisley sang the national anthem at
both of them. He was there for Game three in
twenty eighteen, and now here in this game, the game
(07:26):
at Dodger Stadium here that went eighteen innings. So it's
his birthday today. Yeah. The thing also that stands out
about this though, is not all losses are the same, right,
I mean, it's about this hurts because it's an eighteen
inn and loss for the Toronto Blue Jays. But I
would argue, and I don't think I'm wrong on this.
You can disagree if you want. This is worse than
that because the weak spot of the Dodgers, every man,
(07:49):
woman and child knows is the bullpen. It is a
parade of horribles the Dodger bullpen. And it wasn't pretty.
There were a lot of runners on base, there was
a lot of traction. But in the end, the Dodgers'
bullpen was marvelous. It was a chef's kiss. Will Klein,
who normally he would say, decline immediately a Dodger legend
(08:13):
as the pitcher, the nondescript pitcher coming out of the bullpen.
There Will clinb and pitching a lot of goosegs, a
lot of goose eggs out of that Dodger bulben. Four innings.
He threw seventy two pitches out of the bullpen and
only allowed one hit. He walked a couple of guys,
but four innings of shutout relief, and he was the
last man standing for the Dodgers. Now turning the page
(08:38):
on that. As for the approach, the approach of both teams,
So the question is is there a word? Is there
a word?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
The Dodgers kryptonite is their bullpen. The Blue Jays blew it.
They didn't take advantage of that, but just in general,
both teams were rather flaccid as the game went on.
So what is the word watching the Blue Jays and
Dodgers flail away for what seemed like three hours like
the game the regular game for three hours. The extra
innings were like three hours, three hours plus. So what
(09:10):
is the word for the Dodgers and Blue Jays offensive
approach for the majority of extra inning baseball there in
the World Series? So two words, not one word? Two
words hero ball, hero ball. Everyone in Dodger blue and
Toronto Blue Jay uniforms. Everyone decided that they were going
(09:32):
to go out there and they were going to be
the protagonist in the in movie. They were making a
movie in so many sports movies, and they wanted to
be the protagonist in this, and forget team baseball. There
wasn't very much of that. Once you got to extra innings,
you've got home run derby. Everyone's trying to hit home runs.
You get a home run, you get a home run.
(09:54):
It's Halloween this week, and so it's it's Halloween home
run derby. Cosplay is what it was here for the
Dodgers in Blue Jayson, Game three of the World Series.
It was often reckless. It was often irresponsible baseball, that's
what it was, and almost no situational hitting when the
Dodgers did try it, and it backfired as they bunted
(10:15):
the runner across the way and they just needed a
sack fly and then of course a pop up to
shortstop screwed that up. So there was almost no situational hitting,
and then when the Dodgers did try it, it backfired.
There it was mostly a conga line of guys trying
to hit the ball outside of the stadium over the pavilion.
A lot of uppercut swings there from players on both teams,
(10:36):
and that is human nature, right. It's just like in basketball,
certain guys want to take the shot at the end
of the game. Now there's other guys that turtle up
and don't want to take the shot. But in baseball,
very rarely do you find anyone that doesn't want to
be the hero and get the postgame interview, get the
gatorade bath, the whole thing. Hit the game winning home run,
and everyone wants to be on the poster. Everyone wants
(10:58):
to be on the meme. Now, Freddie Freeman, back to
back years, Freddie Freeman is on that that moment, and
while Tani hit a home run and was on base
nine times, Freeman's got to be the lead. Freddie Freeman's
got to be leading this game. And that iconic photo
of him with his finger raised up in the air,
the one finger as he was circling first base. But
(11:20):
so you can be a bunch of as we said,
Freddie Freeman giveaways next year for the Dodgers. The problem
is when everyone's swinging like they're trying to hit the
ball to Rancho Kuckamonga. Okay, the offense looks like a
bad Beer League softball situation. It's not very very pretty.
And so Freddie Freeman did get it. As we said,
it's the game winning home on Dodgers went it six
to five in X ratings. That was nine innings times
(11:42):
two in the World Series, and history says that the
winner of Game three has won seventy percent. I believe
it's seventy percent of the time. However, as the great
Dick Stockton inform me, that tells you what has happened,
not what's going to happen here. And so the final
nine innings, while John Smoltz and Joe Davis on the
Fox broadcast were waxing liquacious about how amazing it was
(12:05):
and how magical it was and all that. They were
going on on and on and on, everyone trying to
be the Knight in Shining Armor, and occasionally, sometimes the
Knight in Shining Armor is just an idiot wrapped in
tinfoil that occasionally happens. That occasionally happens, And so there
was there was some of that. Now, the other thing
(12:25):
I've learned from years and years of doing talk radio
is a lot of that game was rather disgusting. It
was puke in your mouth bad baseball, fundamentally bad baseball.
There were pitchers on the Dodgers who fundamentally blow and
the Blue Jays turned them into rock stars because of
bad at bats, and they got themselves out a lot
of the time. I got themselves out a lot of
(12:46):
the time. So you've got that. But the thing that
I know, all of this will be forgotten. It's like
men in black and they're gonna zap you. They're gonna
zap you with the neuraliyes or whatever it's called there.
And the only thing over time that we are going
to remember is going to be and this is across
the board. When you watch a big event like this
in sports, you're gonna remember two things. You're gonna remember
(13:09):
the emotional peak and you're gonna remember the end of
the game. Now, in this case, it's they're both the same.
The emotional peak was the Freddie Freeman home run. Right now,
maybe you'll remember Otani got on base nine times. I
was at the Dodger Red Sox game where when eighteen
innings in the twenty eighteen World Series, and I remember
two things about that game without looking. I remember the
(13:30):
Max Munsey home run, and I also remember for the
Red Sox Nathan Evaldi pitching ridiculous bullpen came in, pitched
a bunch of innings. I forget how many, but he
saved the Red Sox pitching staff coming in and throwing
a ton of innings in that game. So those are
the things I remember, and I was at that game
in that World Series back in the day. Now the
last word here, let's address what everyone will be yapping
(13:54):
about outside the outcome of the game, and that would
be the sho Hel Tani getting on base nine times game?
How did you get on base nine times? Well, a
lot of that was because of the generosity of the
Toronto Blue Jays. He was intentionally walked, not once, not twice,
not three times, but four times. So the question on
(14:15):
this one, with the Blue Jay pitchers and the management
deciding we're not going to allow Otani to beat us.
With Otani being pitched around and walked, he's walked five
times with four intentional walks. Does Major League Baseball need
to revisit the intentional walk rule. So a lot of chatter,
(14:37):
a lot of Internet chatter. People upset, many of them
work to day shift, many of them are on the
East Coast. Many of them are belly aching and complaining it's.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Not fair, it's a right.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Or crybabies. So let's address the cry babies in the
room and we'll tackle the question with Otani intentionally walked
four times in this game. Does baseball to revisit the
intentional walk rule? So I am shaking my head. No,
all right, I'm shaking my head.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
No on this.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You cannot legislate out of respect. You cannot do it.
And if a guy is so terrifying, so intimidating that
a team in the World Series would rather hand that
player first base, just go down the first you've got
(15:31):
us by the balls, that's not a problem. That is
a act of respect for Sho hail Tani, that he's
such a monster that Toronto is there a bunch of cowards.
They're afraid of Otani. They're like these other guys. It's
also a vote of no confidence for the rest of
the Dodger lineup. But I totally get it. The Blue
(15:52):
Jays didn't just pitch around him. They tapped out in
this game. They said no moss, they tossed in the sponge,
all of that. John the Blue Jays manager, essentially raised
the white flag and said, please don't hurt us, show hey,
leave us alone. Four intentional walks are your bloody kidding me?
(16:13):
That is the baseball version of pulling the fire alarm. Now,
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like it's not
great for the sport. It's terrible for the sport. We
get it. I understand. I like baseball. I don't like
everything about baseball. I like to complain. I get paid
to complain. So clearly, it's not ideal. It's not. It's
(16:36):
just isn't the sport neutering its biggest stars, cutting the
balls off its biggest stars on the biggest stage around
is not what you're hoping for. It's not. It's just
bad television. It's bad entertainment. And so that is an
issue that you have to factor in here. It would
be like telling Patrick Mahomes, Listen, dude, you're so good.
(16:59):
The defense asked you to not throw a pass in
the Super Bowl, and so we're not going to allow
you to throw a pass in the Super Bowl because
you're so good. Or whoever your favorite NBA player is
right now. Back in the old days, you'd say Lebron,
but whoever it was, don't let them shoot the ball
in Game seven of the NBA Finals, All right, now,
(17:20):
the yabbit crowd, yabbit, yah, butit yah, yeah, but yeah,
the yabbit rabbit, the yabbit rabbit that says, you know, listen,
change the rule. It's it's bad for the sport. You
got to advance the baseball has been around since the
eighteen eighties or whatever. You get to advance, advance the sport.
Of course, I'm on the counter of that. My argument
(17:41):
is you cannot change the rule every time somebody is
so good. It's emasculating. In basketball, they got rid of
the slam dunk because well, guys, with certain guys, we're
too good. Will Chamber of Kareem Abdul Jabbar and players
of that Kareem created the shook, which was unstoppable known
(18:02):
as leu ale cinder back in those days. But in
the context of baseball, it's part of the sport of baseball.
You earn that treatment. They're not walking nobody's four times intentionally.
So just to play devil's advocate here and again, my
position is firmly that baseball does not need to dramatically
(18:23):
change this rule, that this is more of an outlier situation.
Now that being said, I did activate the Malar think tank.
The mal think tank has been activated here and the
idea we were tossing this around casually or in an
earlier hour of the show. It does make a lot
of sense that you increase the stakes for players that
(18:45):
are so good you're gonna multiple, multiple times intentionally walk
a player. So I would be open to it. I
wouldn't love it, but I would be open to the
idea intentional walk. If you walk Otani the first time,
he gets first base. If you walk him later in
the game, he gets base. If you walk him a
third time, he goes to third base. And if you
walk him a fourth time, he just gives give him
(19:05):
a run. If you're such a coward and your pitching
staff blows so much, I'd be open. It is gimmicky,
and I generally try to avoid that kind of stuff.
And here's the thing, though, if you think that would
be too radical, Oh you're just being a shock chock mallard.
That's why you're on Overnight. They're never gonna consider that.
(19:25):
Oh really, oh really, in my lifetime, In my lifetime,
Major League Baseball, ghost runners, bookey, Rob Manford gave you
ghost runners. That's literal league, that's Beer League, soft up.
Ghost rutters. Rob Manford gave you ghost rutters. So he
said out rage just to think of you won intentially
(19:46):
walk a guy four times. He'll just end the game.
That's it and give you a run pitch clock. That
was blasphemy back in the Baseball's got a pitchclock bigger
basis the size of pizza box. Who asked for that?
Baseball's got it? Banned the shift because the players can't adjust.
Baseball did it? So Rob Manford has already turned the
(20:11):
game into a bit of a funhouse. That bit of
a fun house here with everything here, all the gimmicks,
and you know, out of an effort to make the
game of baseball more entertaining. So either way, four intentional walks,
which is what Otani got here the ultimate badge of
(20:32):
riespect for Otani. That is it. Toronto did not pitch
to show Halti the meal ticket for the Dodgers the
entire second half. I guess there was one at back there.
They had to because there was nobody on. But other
than that, uh, for the majority of the World Series
game when we went to extra innings, because they knew
(20:53):
Otani was going to torch him. And so you can
wrap that in we want, I'll put a ball on
it this way. Major League Baseball, just to clarify my position,
because I know you only listen to half the things
I say. If I'm lucky, Major League Baseball does not
need a rule change. However, if you want to tinker
a little bit, I'd be okay with it. He would
add a degree of difficulty, so I'd be okay with that.
(21:15):
I don't love it. That would be a bit of
a compromise. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd
like to be part, you can join us now. After
Freddie Freeman ends the eighteen inning World Series thriller, the
Dodgers are two wins away from the World Series, and
if they win just the games at Dodgers Stadium, they
can wrap it up in a couple of games here
(21:36):
on Wednesday Night. If they win the next two here,
the Dodgers have a tremendous pitching advantage, at least in
the game here on Tuesday Night. Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox is the number eight seven seven nine
nine six sixty three sixty nine. Also on X at
Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahlor. If you'd like to
be part of the program. And now normally we do
(21:59):
like ask a weed man and we might have to
push that back because of the events that have transpired here.
So we'll likely push that back a little bit, which
will not make him happy. Straight ahead, it's a walk
off winner and baseball history and somebody get the old
surf and turf? What's that all about. We'll get to
it and we will do it next.

by the Atlanta Braves to let him go. Solid decision

at Bronco Fan. Your comments can and we'll be used
against you in the court of sports radio. So please
act accordingly. We have a Satin Nights John on very
(23:59):
nice Genie, So Freddie Freeman. The players in baseball history
that have hit home runs in the eighteenth inning all time,
the last player to do it was not Max Muncy.
It was Jeremy Paina, I believe for the cheating Astros
in the accounts, see I just did in the American
League Divisional Series. That was back in twenty twenty two.
(24:20):
Max Munsey against the Socks in the twenty eighteen World Series.
Brandon Belt, a Giants legend in twenty fourteen and somebody
named Chris Burke in five in the Nation League Divisional Series.
So there's all kinds of factoids and fun facts and
all that as the Dodgers get it done. Freddie Freeman,
(24:43):
this generation's most clutch player. The legend of Freddie Freeman.
Where does you know do the all time debate? Which
is old school talk radio? But Freddie Freeman was some
big moments in his career. Let's go to Ryan, who's
in so Cow going on, Ryan, Welcome, you're on the
Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Hey, Then all right, we'll talk about Freddy Freeman in
a second. But watching the game tonight, I'll make an
odd analogy, but man, it felt like watching a basketball
game where they're running the box at won on show, Hey,
and just took the ball out of his hands because
I mean, he was dominant and on the first nine
innings and then I couldn't see a pitch, And you
(25:28):
know I wouldn't pitch him either if I was a manager.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Now, it's not great for the product.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I don't know what what would be more unbelievable? The
best player in the history of baseball, and it's prime
playing for coops and my Angels or Freddie Freeman sitting
right next to me his junior senior year in high school.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Aha, there we go, now, here we go, here we go,
here we go. And how amount how many walk off
home runs have you hit? Ryan?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I didn't even hit one in Little league?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Damn in little league?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
No?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Oh, man, man, you know what? You know what got
me in trouble when I try to swing like the
Dodgers in that's your inning tonight. But no, seriously, it's
crazy that Freddie, he will be All of Famer. Just
hold the accomplishments, you know, walk off home runs two
years in a row. And you know, I think I
(26:31):
told you this, man. Uh. In a senior year, I asked,
you know, we just it was just one on one
and I said, hey, you have a backup plan a
case and you get hurt. And the only time I
saw him get really frustrated. He didn't lose this cool though,
and he just looked at me and said, Coach, I'm
going to make it.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Last.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
The last the last day I saw him, he said, uh, Coach,
I got to turn back this reading book into the library.
And he goes, Coach, I'll never have a reading book
in my hands again.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
There you go to baseball, but you never have to
read again. That's a great testimony for Major League Baseball.
You never have to read, you don't have to do math,
you don't have to do any of that. Uh So, yeah,
Freddy's gonna end up in the Hall of Fame. It's
not meets all the criteria for the Hall of Fame.
Why why what why why why why why why why?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
We could talk about this later. But you know what's
crazy is so many d one opening the big names
Penn State, LSCU, Florida, Oklahoma State, and I'm sure you
if you haven't talked about this, ye'll be talking about
it later. It's just crazy. How many g U c
(27:45):
l A. I mean, I think this is gonna be
an off season like we've never seen before in college football.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Well, there's no there's no reason to even pretend and
play the game of charades like you have to keep
the coach because it's free agency every year, so you
don't need a coach. It used to be the coach.
The coaches had the greatest racket college football and basketball
coaches they all had to have eight year contracts, and
for some reason, they're still giving out those massive contracts,
even though the players, if they want to change schools
(28:12):
every year, they can change schools and get more nil money.
It's the dumbest thing in the world. At some point
and again academia, at some point these people will realize
what a hustle this is and they'll stop giving out
these massive contracts. And there is a there's a supply
chain shortage. As you know, Ryan, there's not enough big
time coaches in college sports that are beloved, that are
named brand coaches. There's more job openings that need those
(28:35):
coaches than there are coaches. So if you, if you
know any if you know any good coaches, you might
want to tell them to start applying.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
So well, in the LSU ad who gained the contract
to Brian Kelly? What contract did he give or who
did he Who was his last coach before Brian Kelly?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Well it'd be the the Cajun Fred Flintstone right back
back in the day.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
They both jump Jim.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
No, no, no, before the But the guy was at
l s U before the Yeah. But Joe, that's right,
all right, I got you, I got you, all right,
Just give up so that guy, you want that guy
to hire you and just overpay you. He's all I
gotta go, thank you.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
I go.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Let's go to John in Atlanta. Will they bring Freddie
back to celebrate him, the beloved Atlanta brave there as
he the hero.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Oy brother. Let me tell you, man that when when
when Freddy left, Man, it broke my heart, man, because
I knew that guy was great and everybody knew he was.
And you know, you know, Olsen is great at first base,
and he he's a good, you know, hitter, but he's
not Freddie Freeman. You know what I'm saying. Uh, he's
(29:51):
not a clutch guy.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
But yeah, I was Freddy Freeman's a Hall of Famer
and you know Olsen's like a good, good player, but
not not great.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
So right, But you know the thing that you said that,
uh it's the first time calling in man. Uh and
uh you really made a great point about the walking
man that that stuff drives me nuts. Dude. It's like,
I want to watch great baseball and you want to
see the guy get up the bat and it's like, dude,
(30:22):
and and you know, you see four intentional you know,
four you know, intentional walks. But then really that that
last one was just basically throwing the ball in the dirt.
They want to get to pitch to a tany and
you want to see the guy play. So I'm not
saying a rule change. Like you said, you don't want
to see a rule change, but maybe something could be
(30:42):
happening in the.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Post how how else the only way I I don't
want to see a rule change. I also, at the
same time, I guess I'm too faced on this John
because I don't like it. I also want to see
a tiny hit, Like what's the point of trying to
get great players if you can just cut their balls
off in the playoffs and they can't? You know, I
don't guess It's like you don't do that in any
(31:04):
other sport, do you like, in any of the sports
that we love, you don't just eliminate someone from from
beating you. You try to do it, like, you know
in football, you try to do it in basketball. But
to have a rule where you can literally just let
them walk to first base and not beat you wild.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
And I know it takes away a little bit from
the you know, it takes a little bit away from
the sport, you know, And uh, I love baseball and
you know, I'm a lifelong Braves fan. And the thing
is is like, when you watch the postseason, I just
want to see great baseball. I want to see and
tonight it's like, dude, after eighteen innings, it's like, I
(31:43):
need to smoke a cigarettes.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Like, you know, I don't know what you were doing.
I don't know what you were doing during the game.
But all right, my man, how about that? I was
very enjoyable. All right, well listen, thank you, John, you've
called you call again. You're actually caller. We're not used
to that, so call anytime. Okay, yes, all right, thank
you John. There's John from Atlantic Check.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
And would intentional fouls at the end of a basketball
game be the closest thing to that.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Uh well, like a hack a shock? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
but they didn't. They they changed that rule too. They
did tweak that in basketball.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I was at when Shaq played the Pacers in the
NBA Finals and they those games looked like there was
like three hours because they face just kept fouling Shaquille
O'Neal in the NBA Finals And uh yeah, that's actually
not a bad call. That's about the equivalent. Didn't they
put a rule and you can't do it in the
final couple of minutes, right, isn't there a rule? Yeah? Yeah,
(32:40):
something like it was in within the last I want
to see five to ten years they put a rule
into to penalize you if you foul, you know, in
the final cold miss. Let's go to Jim in Nolins.
What's going on? Jim Welcome? You're on the Ben Malor
Show on Fox. The Dodgers of one, Game three of
the World Series. Freddy Freeman, the walk off home run
(33:01):
there in the eighteenth inning. What's going on? Jim? Welcome?
Speaker 5 (33:06):
Some first time Colera. Appreciate you taking my call. I
was actually going to bring up something about the cheating,
you know, the that controversy.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Now, now, which which version of cheating? Are you talking
about baseball cheating? You're talking about gambling cheating?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Gambling cheating, especially with basketball. I work on Drillian Riggs, Okay,
And one job I was on, I was working with
a geologist. They call him a mudlogger. He constantly was
on the phone betting with his bookie on football games.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Now.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
He was also a Big twelve referee for basketball.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (33:42):
But one day I just asked him saying, hey, how
much would the cops throw a game, he said, five
hundred and five thousand, without even without any hesitating. It
depends on the game.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Wow, are you sure?
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Yeah, there's no problem.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Now this is seven years ago, says the spices are
probably higher. But he's like, look, it happens. You could
you see those back calls a lot of times. It's true.
It's it's because of the reason. He goes, Look it's done.
It's not just me. This is quite a bit of
rep it's on a whole level. Your great, You're you're
gonna do a deal with the devilice once in your life.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Well, well that's interesting.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
That's a real story.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah all right, Well I have no I just for
the record, just I mean nothing you said there's any liability.
I don't I A. I don't know who you are
and be you could be making that up. I I
gotta tell you. I want to believe that. I think
that's that's likely true. So I don't think no, Bye bye,
I listen. I've I've heard some things over the years
of my travels where I tell people that, oh, you're
(34:40):
full of crap. That didn't happen. I'm like, kind of
you did? I think it did? So?
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Yeah, I appreciate that perspective.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
No, I appreciate it. You can you tell the guy
to let us know which game he's fixing so we
can bet on the other team. Can you let it.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
All?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Right? Thanks? Thanks? True? Okay, there you go. Interesting it
is the Bane Malord show.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Well you have a gambling so.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Weed Man, I want to do the bit now. I'm
looking at the schedule here and let's see, should we

shorter I know, I understand. I'm trying to figure it
out right now. I understand what. Yeah, I mean, we
do that. Well, we have we could do we get
rid of site the bite the last hour. I mean that,

one I was gonna do, I want to. I want
to flip it around a little bit here and change
it up. All right, here we go. Let's see here
(37:25):
the Insta Trivia question of the night. Freddie Freeman, the
first player with two walkoff home runs in World Series history,
the fourth player with two walk off home runs in
postseason history. The others to do it are David Ortiz,
Carlos Correa of the Cheating Asstros, and Blank Again. Freddie Freeman,
(37:51):
first ever with two walkoff home runs in the World Series,
fourth player with two walkoff home runs in post season history.
The others are David Ortiz, Carlos Correa and Blank. That
is the aforementioned instant triviua the answer. We'll get to it.
We will do it next.

Series history, the fourth player with two walkoff homers in
postseason history. The others are David Ortiz, Carlos Corea, the
cheating a Holes and Blank. That is the question. What
(39:22):
is the answer let's see, does anyone know the answer?
Alf who is two hundred and sixty nine years old today?
That was guessed by alf who else? Jason Smith his
man crushed Bartolo clone from Eloy and Compton and weed
Man with the cash app from Just Josh? Do you
have an answer the rainy quickly? I'm gonna go with
Luke Garry. That is incorrect. It's Bernie Williams. Bernie is
(39:43):
here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here
we go. Here we guys, here we go, Here we go,
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Come. This is one big gets grilled.
Speaker 6 (39:52):
During yesterday's show, you said Drake May was not yet
a legit MVP contender.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Whoever?
Speaker 6 (39:57):
Colts quarterback Daniel Jones believes that his running back, Jonathan
t Taylor is ben What do you think?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
You downgrade? Taylor's been great. He's a running back, and
by default, running backs don't win the MVP. Maholmes is
now your favorite to win the MVP. It's going to
be a quarterback. It's going to be a quarterback. He'll
get some token votes Jonathan Taylor, but not enough to win. Next.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
MVP is an award that's getting a lot of discussion.
But who do you think the front runner? The front
runner is for Coach.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Of the Year. Well, you talked about the COLTSKOOPLEUPI. The
formula is rather simple. When you have a team that
was supposed to be mediocre or suck and they overachieved,
Shane Stike and the coach of the Colts has to
be the favorite for Coach of the Year honors at
this point, because Daniel Jones I thought was going to
be horrific, he's not. He's a top ten quarterback. So
(40:45):
Shane Styke is going to get the credit next.
Speaker 6 (40:47):
Kellen Moore decided to bench quarterback Spencer Ratler late in
the game on Sunday and go with rookie I don't
even know how to pronounce his name, Tyler Shu shuck
is pronounced. It's so weird with the hosts of Louisville. Yeah,
the hopes of providing a spark, it didn't. But Ben,
at this point, is there any reason to go back
to Ralgh.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
So it's like deciding whether you want the firing squad
of the electric chair. Either way, the outcome is going
to be the same. There is no good choice here.
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
How did we know.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Oh my god, I passed.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
I
Playball. It's our name bird too, our number two. Now,
chances are if you listen to the Ben Maler Show
podcast that you were a person working the day shift.
Maybe you're one of the people that used to listen
live at night and you took the money like Chris
and Houston or Can't Close the deal'neil or some of
(00:20):
the other legends that went to the day shift and
we lost them as active members of the show during
the live edition. So when you have a sporting event
that goes late, people that worked the day shift love
to complain. For us, it's a great mitzvah. For example,
we were on the air moments after moments after the
World Series end. We actually in a commercial break at
(00:41):
the time Freddie Freeman was to hear it the game
winning home run leading off the eighteenth inning Game three
of the World Series. That's right, eighteen innings. What stood
out from the eighteen inning thriller at the ravine goes
to the Dodgers. Also, what is the word for trying
to watch the Blue Jays and Dodgers flail away in
extra innings during the World Series. The Dodgers' bullpen, which
(01:05):
has been the definition of suck was outstanding, thanks in
large part to some help by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Also with the Blue Jay pitching staff pitching around, pitching around,
show Hail Tani. Four intentional walks, five walks in the game.
Does Major League Baseball need to revisit and change the
(01:26):
intentional walk rule? Bad for the sport? We'll discuss. I
will give you my position, my nuanced position on that
right now here. It is our number two. Freddy puts
the Blue Jays to Betty Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in
(01:49):
the air everywhere as we form a band, we do,
and we are where fresh shakes are always in coast
to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast
and excessively powerful microphones of fsre emmnating live from the
(02:13):
basis as we cover all the bases from the world
famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by Manuel in
Guardena and our blind friend from Bakersfield. But we don't
have to say name because he didn't watch the game.
And this portion of the Ben Mallor Show on Fox

com the way tire buying should be and our lead
(03:18):
this story from Chavez Ravine that the scene Downtown LA.
Overlooking Downtown La. That the stage for Game three of
the World Series. You had Vladimir Guerrero Junior Flattie leading
the Blue Jays as they flew into La for a
matchup with sho Hey O'tani and the Dodgers. Not the
(03:40):
start of the game seven some hours ago. You had
Mac Schurzer versus Tyler Glass. Now that was the matchup.
Start Joe Davis and John Smoltz had the call, and
the game ended about ten minutes ago. We're doing this
in real time. The game ended in about ten minutes ago.
And why edited in ten minutes ago because Freddie Freeman
(04:03):
to the moon. If you didn't see it, Freddy Freeman
hits a game ender, eighteen inning walk off home run
for Freddie Freeman as the Dodgers and Blue Jays played
free baseball. A solo home run by Freddie Freeman the
bottom of the eighteenth and the Blue Crew get a
six to five win in a game that took six
(04:24):
hours and thirty nine minutes, six hours and thirty nine minutes,
a game that had several points where the Blue Jays
could have, should have and would have won, but they
did not win. So let us discuss. That's a good
jumping off point. Freddie Freeman your October hero. And so
the question on this one, the question is what stands out?
(04:46):
What is your knee jerk reaction to Game three of
the World Series, which just ended a couple of minutes ago.
So I've got on this one. I've got kryptonite. We've
also got Rancho Koukamonga. And if that was not enough,
we will throw in for added effect, we will throw
in the cry babies, and we'll mix all of these
(05:09):
things together, and we are going to make the babaganoochs.
We're gonna make the baba ganoosh. So the first thing
that stands out is the amount of baseball that was played.
I mean, this is eighteen innings of baseball between the
Dodgers and Blue Jays. And you look at some of
the numbers here, which are historic. The Dodgers, for example,
left eighteen runners on base in this game, eighteen runners
(05:30):
on base. The Toronto Blue Jays they ended up with
nineteen runners left on base. The Blue Jays were two
of twelve in runners in scoring positions, so they were
not very good in that to barment. The Dodgers on
the other side, and obviously not good either. They were
two for fourteen. It was the show Hey Otani game.
More on that in a minute. Otani, who was absolutely cooking.
(05:52):
He was four for four, and then the Blue Jays
eventually decided, well, we're not gonna let him beat us,
and so they started walking him. He was walked five times,
four of those intentional, and Otani tying a major League
baseball record for most times reaching base, as he ended
up on base nine times in Game three of the
(06:12):
World Series. So he's had two massive playoff games, the
one against the Brew crew with all the home runs
and the pitching, and now this game where the Blue
Jays just completely could not get him out. They gave up.
So it's that. And then obviously Freddie Freeman, there'll be
seventeen thousand promotions next year. Freddie Freeman, bobblehead, Freddie Freeman,
(06:33):
replica Jersey, Freddie Freeman, this, Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
That.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
But the walk off home run right over the three
to ninety five sign in center field at Dodger Stadium,
and the Dodgers have won it, and Freddy that post.
He knew he was going to be in the like
the bobblehead next year, so he had the number one
finger in the air. He said, number one right there,
every everywhere. So the now here's a fun factoid. Are
(07:01):
you ready for a fun factoid mixed in fun fact
All right? So we are told that is now official.
There have only been two eighteen inning games in world
serious history, and Brad Paisley sang the national anthem at
both of them. He was there for Game three in
twenty eighteen, and now here in this game, the game
(07:26):
at Dodger Stadium here that went eighteen innings. So it's
his birthday today. Yeah. The thing also that stands out
about this though, is not all losses are the same, right,
I mean, it's about this hurts because it's an eighteen
inn and loss for the Toronto Blue Jays. But I
would argue, and I don't think I'm wrong on this.
You can disagree if you want. This is worse than
that because the weak spot of the Dodgers, every man,
(07:49):
woman and child knows is the bullpen. It is a
parade of horribles the Dodger bullpen. And it wasn't pretty.
There were a lot of runners on base, there was
a lot of traction. But in the end, the Dodgers'
bullpen was marvelous. It was a chef's kiss. Will Klein,
who normally he would say, decline immediately a Dodger legend
(08:13):
as the pitcher, the nondescript pitcher coming out of the bullpen.
There Will clinb and pitching a lot of goosegs, a
lot of goose eggs out of that Dodger bulben. Four innings.
He threw seventy two pitches out of the bullpen and
only allowed one hit. He walked a couple of guys,
but four innings of shutout relief, and he was the
last man standing for the Dodgers. Now turning the page
(08:38):
on that. As for the approach, the approach of both teams,
So the question is is there a word? Is there
a word?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
The Dodgers kryptonite is their bullpen. The Blue Jays blew it.
They didn't take advantage of that, but just in general,
both teams were rather flaccid as the game went on.
So what is the word watching the Blue Jays and
Dodgers flail away for what seemed like three hours like
the game the regular game for three hours. The extra
innings were like three hours, three hours plus. So what
(09:10):
is the word for the Dodgers and Blue Jays offensive
approach for the majority of extra inning baseball there in
the World Series? So two words, not one word? Two
words hero ball, hero ball. Everyone in Dodger blue and
Toronto Blue Jay uniforms. Everyone decided that they were going
(09:32):
to go out there and they were going to be
the protagonist in the in movie. They were making a
movie in so many sports movies, and they wanted to
be the protagonist in this, and forget team baseball. There
wasn't very much of that. Once you got to extra innings,
you've got home run derby. Everyone's trying to hit home runs.
You get a home run, you get a home run.
(09:54):
It's Halloween this week, and so it's it's Halloween home
run derby. Cosplay is what it was here for the
Dodgers in Blue Jayson, Game three of the World Series.
It was often reckless. It was often irresponsible baseball, that's
what it was, and almost no situational hitting when the
Dodgers did try it, and it backfired as they bunted
(10:15):
the runner across the way and they just needed a
sack fly and then of course a pop up to
shortstop screwed that up. So there was almost no situational hitting,
and then when the Dodgers did try it, it backfired.
There it was mostly a conga line of guys trying
to hit the ball outside of the stadium over the pavilion.
A lot of uppercut swings there from players on both teams,
(10:36):
and that is human nature, right. It's just like in basketball,
certain guys want to take the shot at the end
of the game. Now there's other guys that turtle up
and don't want to take the shot. But in baseball,
very rarely do you find anyone that doesn't want to
be the hero and get the postgame interview, get the
gatorade bath, the whole thing. Hit the game winning home run,
and everyone wants to be on the poster. Everyone wants
(10:58):
to be on the meme. Now, Freddie Freeman, back to
back years, Freddie Freeman is on that that moment, and
while Tani hit a home run and was on base
nine times, Freeman's got to be the lead. Freddie Freeman's
got to be leading this game. And that iconic photo
of him with his finger raised up in the air,
the one finger as he was circling first base. But
(11:20):
so you can be a bunch of as we said,
Freddie Freeman giveaways next year for the Dodgers. The problem
is when everyone's swinging like they're trying to hit the
ball to Rancho Kuckamonga. Okay, the offense looks like a
bad Beer League softball situation. It's not very very pretty.
And so Freddie Freeman did get it. As we said,
it's the game winning home on Dodgers went it six
to five in X ratings. That was nine innings times
(11:42):
two in the World Series, and history says that the
winner of Game three has won seventy percent. I believe
it's seventy percent of the time. However, as the great
Dick Stockton inform me, that tells you what has happened,
not what's going to happen here. And so the final
nine innings, while John Smoltz and Joe Davis on the
Fox broadcast were waxing liquacious about how amazing it was
(12:05):
and how magical it was and all that. They were
going on on and on and on, everyone trying to
be the Knight in Shining Armor, and occasionally, sometimes the
Knight in Shining Armor is just an idiot wrapped in
tinfoil that occasionally happens. That occasionally happens, And so there
was there was some of that. Now, the other thing
(12:25):
I've learned from years and years of doing talk radio
is a lot of that game was rather disgusting. It
was puke in your mouth bad baseball, fundamentally bad baseball.
There were pitchers on the Dodgers who fundamentally blow and
the Blue Jays turned them into rock stars because of
bad at bats, and they got themselves out a lot
of the time. I got themselves out a lot of
(12:46):
the time. So you've got that. But the thing that
I know, all of this will be forgotten. It's like
men in black and they're gonna zap you. They're gonna
zap you with the neuraliyes or whatever it's called there.
And the only thing over time that we are going
to remember is going to be and this is across
the board. When you watch a big event like this
in sports, you're gonna remember two things. You're gonna remember
(13:09):
the emotional peak and you're gonna remember the end of
the game. Now, in this case, it's they're both the same.
The emotional peak was the Freddie Freeman home run. Right now,
maybe you'll remember Otani got on base nine times. I
was at the Dodger Red Sox game where when eighteen
innings in the twenty eighteen World Series, and I remember
two things about that game without looking. I remember the
(13:30):
Max Munsey home run, and I also remember for the
Red Sox Nathan Evaldi pitching ridiculous bullpen came in, pitched
a bunch of innings. I forget how many, but he
saved the Red Sox pitching staff coming in and throwing
a ton of innings in that game. So those are
the things I remember, and I was at that game
in that World Series back in the day. Now the
last word here, let's address what everyone will be yapping
(13:54):
about outside the outcome of the game, and that would
be the sho Hel Tani getting on base nine times game?
How did you get on base nine times? Well, a
lot of that was because of the generosity of the
Toronto Blue Jays. He was intentionally walked, not once, not twice,
not three times, but four times. So the question on
(14:15):
this one, with the Blue Jay pitchers and the management
deciding we're not going to allow Otani to beat us.
With Otani being pitched around and walked, he's walked five
times with four intentional walks. Does Major League Baseball need
to revisit the intentional walk rule. So a lot of chatter,
(14:37):
a lot of Internet chatter. People upset, many of them
work to day shift, many of them are on the
East Coast. Many of them are belly aching and complaining it's.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Not fair, it's a right.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Or crybabies. So let's address the cry babies in the
room and we'll tackle the question with Otani intentionally walked
four times in this game. Does baseball to revisit the
intentional walk rule? So I am shaking my head. No,
all right, I'm shaking my head.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
No on this.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
You cannot legislate out of respect. You cannot do it.
And if a guy is so terrifying, so intimidating that
a team in the World Series would rather hand that
player first base, just go down the first you've got
(15:31):
us by the balls, that's not a problem. That is
a act of respect for Sho hail Tani, that he's
such a monster that Toronto is there a bunch of cowards.
They're afraid of Otani. They're like these other guys. It's
also a vote of no confidence for the rest of
the Dodger lineup. But I totally get it. The Blue
(15:52):
Jays didn't just pitch around him. They tapped out in
this game. They said no moss, they tossed in the sponge,
all of that. John the Blue Jays manager, essentially raised
the white flag and said, please don't hurt us, show hey,
leave us alone. Four intentional walks are your bloody kidding me?
(16:13):
That is the baseball version of pulling the fire alarm. Now,
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like it's not
great for the sport. It's terrible for the sport. We
get it. I understand. I like baseball. I don't like
everything about baseball. I like to complain. I get paid
to complain. So clearly, it's not ideal. It's not. It's
(16:36):
just isn't the sport neutering its biggest stars, cutting the
balls off its biggest stars on the biggest stage around
is not what you're hoping for. It's not. It's just
bad television. It's bad entertainment. And so that is an
issue that you have to factor in here. It would
be like telling Patrick Mahomes, Listen, dude, you're so good.
(16:59):
The defense asked you to not throw a pass in
the Super Bowl, and so we're not going to allow
you to throw a pass in the Super Bowl because
you're so good. Or whoever your favorite NBA player is
right now. Back in the old days, you'd say Lebron,
but whoever it was, don't let them shoot the ball
in Game seven of the NBA Finals, All right, now,
(17:20):
the yabbit crowd, yabbit, yah, butit yah, yeah, but yeah,
the yabbit rabbit, the yabbit rabbit that says, you know, listen,
change the rule. It's it's bad for the sport. You
got to advance the baseball has been around since the
eighteen eighties or whatever. You get to advance, advance the sport.
Of course, I'm on the counter of that. My argument
(17:41):
is you cannot change the rule every time somebody is
so good. It's emasculating. In basketball, they got rid of
the slam dunk because well, guys, with certain guys, we're
too good. Will Chamber of Kareem Abdul Jabbar and players
of that Kareem created the shook, which was unstoppable known
(18:02):
as leu ale cinder back in those days. But in
the context of baseball, it's part of the sport of baseball.
You earn that treatment. They're not walking nobody's four times intentionally.
So just to play devil's advocate here and again, my
position is firmly that baseball does not need to dramatically
(18:23):
change this rule, that this is more of an outlier situation.
Now that being said, I did activate the Malar think tank.
The mal think tank has been activated here and the
idea we were tossing this around casually or in an
earlier hour of the show. It does make a lot
of sense that you increase the stakes for players that
(18:45):
are so good you're gonna multiple, multiple times intentionally walk
a player. So I would be open to it. I
wouldn't love it, but I would be open to the
idea intentional walk. If you walk Otani the first time,
he gets first base. If you walk him later in
the game, he gets base. If you walk him a
third time, he goes to third base. And if you
walk him a fourth time, he just gives give him
(19:05):
a run. If you're such a coward and your pitching
staff blows so much, I'd be open. It is gimmicky,
and I generally try to avoid that kind of stuff.
And here's the thing, though, if you think that would
be too radical, Oh you're just being a shock chock mallard.
That's why you're on Overnight. They're never gonna consider that.
(19:25):
Oh really, oh really, in my lifetime, In my lifetime,
Major League Baseball, ghost runners, bookey, Rob Manford gave you
ghost runners. That's literal league, that's Beer League, soft up.
Ghost rutters. Rob Manford gave you ghost rutters. So he
said out rage just to think of you won intentially
(19:46):
walk a guy four times. He'll just end the game.
That's it and give you a run pitch clock. That
was blasphemy back in the Baseball's got a pitchclock bigger
basis the size of pizza box. Who asked for that?
Baseball's got it? Banned the shift because the players can't adjust.
Baseball did it? So Rob Manford has already turned the
(20:11):
game into a bit of a funhouse. That bit of
a fun house here with everything here, all the gimmicks,
and you know, out of an effort to make the
game of baseball more entertaining. So either way, four intentional walks,
which is what Otani got here the ultimate badge of
(20:32):
riespect for Otani. That is it. Toronto did not pitch
to show Halti the meal ticket for the Dodgers the
entire second half. I guess there was one at back there.
They had to because there was nobody on. But other
than that, uh, for the majority of the World Series
game when we went to extra innings, because they knew
(20:53):
Otani was going to torch him. And so you can
wrap that in we want, I'll put a ball on
it this way. Major League Baseball, just to clarify my position,
because I know you only listen to half the things
I say. If I'm lucky, Major League Baseball does not
need a rule change. However, if you want to tinker
a little bit, I'd be okay with it. He would
add a degree of difficulty, so I'd be okay with that.
(21:15):
I don't love it. That would be a bit of
a compromise. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd
like to be part, you can join us now. After
Freddie Freeman ends the eighteen inning World Series thriller, the
Dodgers are two wins away from the World Series, and
if they win just the games at Dodgers Stadium, they
can wrap it up in a couple of games here
(21:36):
on Wednesday Night. If they win the next two here,
the Dodgers have a tremendous pitching advantage, at least in
the game here on Tuesday Night. Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox is the number eight seven seven nine
nine six sixty three sixty nine. Also on X at
Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahlor. If you'd like to
be part of the program. And now normally we do
(21:59):
like ask a weed man and we might have to
push that back because of the events that have transpired here.
So we'll likely push that back a little bit, which
will not make him happy. Straight ahead, it's a walk
off winner and baseball history and somebody get the old
surf and turf? What's that all about. We'll get to
it and we will do it next.

act accordingly. We have a Satin Nights John on very
(23:59):
nice Genie, So Freddie Freeman. The players in baseball history
that have hit home runs in the eighteenth inning all time,
the last player to do it was not Max Muncy.
It was Jeremy Paina, I believe for the cheating Astros
in the accounts, see I just did in the American
League Divisional Series. That was back in twenty twenty two.
(24:20):
Max Munsey against the Socks in the twenty eighteen World Series.
Brandon Belt, a Giants legend in twenty fourteen and somebody
named Chris Burke in five in the Nation League Divisional Series.
So there's all kinds of factoids and fun facts and
all that as the Dodgers get it done. Freddie Freeman,
(24:43):
this generation's most clutch player. The legend of Freddie Freeman.
Where does you know do the all time debate? Which
is old school talk radio? But Freddie Freeman was some
big moments in his career. Let's go to Ryan, who's
in so Cow going on, Ryan, Welcome, you're on the
Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Hey, Then all right, we'll talk about Freddy Freeman in
a second. But watching the game tonight, I'll make an
odd analogy, but man, it felt like watching a basketball
game where they're running the box at won on show, Hey,
and just took the ball out of his hands because
I mean, he was dominant and on the first nine
innings and then I couldn't see a pitch, And you
(25:28):
know I wouldn't pitch him either if I was a manager.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Now, it's not great for the product.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
I don't know what what would be more unbelievable? The
best player in the history of baseball, and it's prime
playing for coops and my Angels or Freddie Freeman sitting
right next to me his junior senior year in high school.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Aha, there we go, now, here we go, here we go,
here we go. And how amount how many walk off
home runs have you hit? Ryan?
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I didn't even hit one in Little league?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Damn in little league?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
No?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Oh, man, man, you know what? You know what got
me in trouble when I try to swing like the
Dodgers in that's your inning tonight. But no, seriously, it's
crazy that Freddie, he will be All of Famer. Just
hold the accomplishments, you know, walk off home runs two
years in a row. And you know, I think I
(26:31):
told you this, man. Uh. In a senior year, I asked,
you know, we just it was just one on one
and I said, hey, you have a backup plan a
case and you get hurt. And the only time I
saw him get really frustrated. He didn't lose this cool though,
and he just looked at me and said, Coach, I'm
going to make it.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Last.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
The last the last day I saw him, he said, uh, Coach,
I got to turn back this reading book into the library.
And he goes, Coach, I'll never have a reading book
in my hands again.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
There you go to baseball, but you never have to
read again. That's a great testimony for Major League Baseball.
You never have to read, you don't have to do math,
you don't have to do any of that. Uh So, yeah,
Freddy's gonna end up in the Hall of Fame. It's
not meets all the criteria for the Hall of Fame.
Why why what why why why why why why why?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
We could talk about this later. But you know what's
crazy is so many d one opening the big names
Penn State, LSCU, Florida, Oklahoma State, and I'm sure you
if you haven't talked about this, ye'll be talking about
it later. It's just crazy. How many g U c
(27:45):
l A. I mean, I think this is gonna be
an off season like we've never seen before in college football.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Well, there's no there's no reason to even pretend and
play the game of charades like you have to keep
the coach because it's free agency every year, so you
don't need a coach. It used to be the coach.
The coaches had the greatest racket college football and basketball
coaches they all had to have eight year contracts, and
for some reason, they're still giving out those massive contracts,
even though the players, if they want to change schools
(28:12):
every year, they can change schools and get more nil money.
It's the dumbest thing in the world. At some point
and again academia, at some point these people will realize
what a hustle this is and they'll stop giving out
these massive contracts. And there is a there's a supply
chain shortage. As you know, Ryan, there's not enough big
time coaches in college sports that are beloved, that are
named brand coaches. There's more job openings that need those
(28:35):
coaches than there are coaches. So if you, if you
know any if you know any good coaches, you might
want to tell them to start applying.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
So well, in the LSU ad who gained the contract
to Brian Kelly? What contract did he give or who
did he Who was his last coach before Brian Kelly?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Well it'd be the the Cajun Fred Flintstone right back
back in the day.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
They both jump Jim.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
No, no, no, before the But the guy was at
l s U before the Yeah. But Joe, that's right,
all right, I got you, I got you, all right,
Just give up so that guy, you want that guy
to hire you and just overpay you. He's all I
gotta go, thank you.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
I go.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Let's go to John in Atlanta. Will they bring Freddie
back to celebrate him, the beloved Atlanta brave there as
he the hero.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Oy brother. Let me tell you, man that when when
when Freddy left, Man, it broke my heart, man, because
I knew that guy was great and everybody knew he was.
And you know, you know, Olsen is great at first base,
and he he's a good, you know, hitter, but he's
not Freddie Freeman. You know what I'm saying. Uh, he's
(29:51):
not a clutch guy.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
But yeah, I was Freddy Freeman's a Hall of Famer
and you know Olsen's like a good, good player, but
not not great.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
So right, But you know the thing that you said that,
uh it's the first time calling in man. Uh and
uh you really made a great point about the walking
man that that stuff drives me nuts. Dude. It's like,
I want to watch great baseball and you want to
see the guy get up the bat and it's like, dude,
(30:22):
and and you know, you see four intentional you know,
four you know, intentional walks. But then really that that
last one was just basically throwing the ball in the dirt.
They want to get to pitch to a tany and
you want to see the guy play. So I'm not
saying a rule change. Like you said, you don't want
to see a rule change, but maybe something could be
(30:42):
happening in the.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Post how how else the only way I I don't
want to see a rule change. I also, at the
same time, I guess I'm too faced on this John
because I don't like it. I also want to see
a tiny hit, Like what's the point of trying to
get great players if you can just cut their balls
off in the playoffs and they can't? You know, I
don't guess It's like you don't do that in any
(31:04):
other sport, do you like, in any of the sports
that we love, you don't just eliminate someone from from
beating you. You try to do it, like, you know
in football, you try to do it in basketball. But
to have a rule where you can literally just let
them walk to first base and not beat you wild.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
And I know it takes away a little bit from
the you know, it takes a little bit away from
the sport, you know, And uh, I love baseball and
you know, I'm a lifelong Braves fan. And the thing
is is like, when you watch the postseason, I just
want to see great baseball. I want to see and
tonight it's like, dude, after eighteen innings, it's like, I
(31:43):
need to smoke a cigarettes.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Like, you know, I don't know what you were doing.
I don't know what you were doing during the game.
But all right, my man, how about that? I was
very enjoyable. All right, well listen, thank you, John, you've
called you call again. You're actually caller. We're not used
to that, so call anytime. Okay, yes, all right, thank
you John. There's John from Atlantic Check.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
And would intentional fouls at the end of a basketball
game be the closest thing to that.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Uh well, like a hack a shock? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
but they didn't. They they changed that rule too. They
did tweak that in basketball.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I was at when Shaq played the Pacers in the
NBA Finals and they those games looked like there was
like three hours because they face just kept fouling Shaquille
O'Neal in the NBA Finals And uh yeah, that's actually
not a bad call. That's about the equivalent. Didn't they
put a rule and you can't do it in the
final couple of minutes, right, isn't there a rule? Yeah? Yeah,
(32:40):
something like it was in within the last I want
to see five to ten years they put a rule
into to penalize you if you foul, you know, in
the final cold miss. Let's go to Jim in Nolins.
What's going on? Jim Welcome? You're on the Ben Malor
Show on Fox. The Dodgers of one, Game three of
the World Series. Freddy Freeman, the walk off home run
(33:01):
there in the eighteenth inning. What's going on? Jim? Welcome?
Speaker 5 (33:06):
Some first time Colera. Appreciate you taking my call. I
was actually going to bring up something about the cheating,
you know, the that controversy.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Now, now, which which version of cheating? Are you talking
about baseball cheating? You're talking about gambling cheating?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Gambling cheating, especially with basketball. I work on Drillian Riggs, Okay,
And one job I was on, I was working with
a geologist. They call him a mudlogger. He constantly was
on the phone betting with his bookie on football games.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Now.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
He was also a Big twelve referee for basketball.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (33:42):
But one day I just asked him saying, hey, how
much would the cops throw a game, he said, five
hundred and five thousand, without even without any hesitating. It
depends on the game.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Wow, are you sure?
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Yeah, there's no problem.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Now this is seven years ago, says the spices are
probably higher. But he's like, look, it happens. You could
you see those back calls a lot of times. It's true.
It's it's because of the reason. He goes, Look it's done.
It's not just me. This is quite a bit of
rep it's on a whole level. Your great, You're you're
gonna do a deal with the devilice once in your life.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Well, well that's interesting.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
That's a real story.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah all right, Well I have no I just for
the record, just I mean nothing you said there's any liability.
I don't I A. I don't know who you are
and be you could be making that up. I I
gotta tell you. I want to believe that. I think
that's that's likely true. So I don't think no, Bye bye,
I listen. I've I've heard some things over the years
of my travels where I tell people that, oh, you're
(34:40):
full of crap. That didn't happen. I'm like, kind of
you did? I think it did? So?
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Yeah, I appreciate that perspective.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
No, I appreciate it. You can you tell the guy
to let us know which game he's fixing so we
can bet on the other team. Can you let it.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
All?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Right? Thanks? Thanks? True? Okay, there you go. Interesting it
is the Bane Malord show.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Well you have a gambling so.

Man with the cash app from Just Josh? Do you

Here we go.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Come. This is one big gets grilled.
Speaker 6 (39:52):
During yesterday's show, you said Drake May was not yet
a legit MVP contender.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Whoever?
Speaker 6 (39:57):
Colts quarterback Daniel Jones believes that his running back, Jonathan
t Taylor is ben What do you think?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
You downgrade? Taylor's been great. He's a running back, and
by default, running backs don't win the MVP. Maholmes is
now your favorite to win the MVP. It's going to
be a quarterback. It's going to be a quarterback. He'll
get some token votes Jonathan Taylor, but not enough to win. Next.
Speaker 6 (40:19):
MVP is an award that's getting a lot of discussion.
But who do you think the front runner? The front
runner is for Coach.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Of the Year. Well, you talked about the COLTSKOOPLEUPI. The
formula is rather simple. When you have a team that
was supposed to be mediocre or suck and they overachieved,
Shane Stike and the coach of the Colts has to
be the favorite for Coach of the Year honors at
this point, because Daniel Jones I thought was going to
be horrific, he's not. He's a top ten quarterback. So
(40:45):
Shane Styke is going to get the credit next.
Speaker 6 (40:47):
Kellen Moore decided to bench quarterback Spencer Ratler late in
the game on Sunday and go with rookie I don't
even know how to pronounce his name, Tyler Shu shuck
is pronounced. It's so weird with the hosts of Louisville. Yeah,
the hopes of providing a spark, it didn't. But Ben,
at this point, is there any reason to go back
to Ralgh.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
So it's like deciding whether you want the firing squad
of the electric chair. Either way, the outcome is going
to be the same. There is no good choice here.
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
How did we know.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Oh my god, I passed.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
