Speaker 1 (00:00):
Spook Key a Spooky our Numb Birth three of the
original Recipe podcast. We thank you for supporting the show
and doing what you're doing right now listening to the podcast.
So here in our number three, what's the lesson from
Rafael Devers ghosting San Francisco Giants legend Will Clark? And

(00:24):
what really is behind the Yankees flipping Jazz Chisholm Junior
at a second base. They're claiming it's because of an injury,
and Major League Baseball players have come out against the
AI robot takeover being planned by Rob Manford for the
baseball umpires. How do you read the room on that one?
We'll do a deep dive as only we can do

(00:46):
in the middle of the night, but during the day
because it's a podcast and you can listen to whatever
you want. Here it is our number three, A Dever's Delight,
well not quite welcome. In the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mahlar Show. We are traveling at the

(01:07):
speed of light. We are, which is good because we're
rehab frequent flyers. We are coast coast, boarding the mortar
and beyond on the vast and particularly powerful microphones of
fs are emmanating live from the craft as in the
Crafty as a Fox Overnight program here from the Fox

(01:32):
Sports Radio Studios, as approved by longtime listener the Palm
Desert rat where it is now one hundred and seventy
degrees now close to it, but we are back at
it in this portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox.
Made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
For over forty years, ti Iraq has been helping customers

(01:53):
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
as Ferg Dog will tell you, and Alf will agree
with convenient installation options just for just Josh and you
like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com the way
tire boning should be. Even Justin in Cincinnati, who doesn't

(02:16):
like anything, likes tire Rack. He does, so our lead
this hour is from sonn Francisco. What a wild end
to the Giants in the Phillies. A two run lead
for the Fight in Phills in the ninth inning and
they lose on a three run walk off inside the
park home run by the catcher because of complete malfeasance

(02:41):
by the outfielders for the Philadelphia Phillies who did the
thing you can't do at the time, you can't do it.
But the story here is not about that particular game.
It has not even been a month yet since the
big trade, before the trade deadline, and already it appears
the hunting period is over for the newest member of

(03:03):
the Higontas, Rafael Devers causing problems video on eleven. No,
actually video right now, well audio right now. So if
you have not heard, maybe not, maybe you missed it.
The Giants arranged for franchise icon Will Clark, better known
by his gangster name Will the Thrill. If you're old,

(03:25):
you know who Will Clark is. If you're of a
younger age, you probably have no idea who he is
because he played a generation to go. But anyway, so
Will Clark was a first baseman back when the Giants
didn't win anything. They got to the World Series but
screwed up anyway, Gold Glove first baseman had some big
hits in the playoffs, and he was deputized to help

(03:46):
advise and guide Rafael Devers to prepare to play first
base after the trade from the Red Sox, Devers an
old third baseman, and the Giants have a third basement,
like the Red Sox signed a third basement. Need Devers
to play third base of the planet first base problem.
What was the problem? Well, it turns out we are
told the Devers said, am good and he didn't show up.

(04:12):
Now what is our source on that? Is that a
Giants beat writer doing their job and not covering for
the team. Though the Giants media in the tank there,
they did not report this. This came from the horse's mouth,
Will Clark himself outing Rafael Devers. The Giants legend was
not too pleased with what had happened. So let us

(04:33):
discuss the question what is the lesson? What is the lesson?
From Rafael Devers ghosting the Giants' first base icon Will Clark. So,
I've got Social Butterfly nineteen nineties, VHS and Winston Churchill,
three things that have never ever been combined together, but

(04:55):
here they are. So my first thought on this, we're
gonna put these together. And by the way, and we're
gonna make creampuffs, because I'm guessing Rafael Devers missus Bova's
Bakery there in Boston. He loved the creampuffs, and they
never missed creampuffs. So first of all, the lesson on
Devers is as clear as vodka. Yeah it is. Buyer beware,

(05:17):
Bayer beware. It's not like Devers has been tearing the
cover off the baseball He's not the natural. Since he
got to San Francisco Big Ballpark, the Giants went all in.
They picked up that full three hundred plus million dollar
contract and they were all giddy because Rafael Devers the
one that couldn't get away, unlike Arson Judge. The Giants.

(05:38):
They famously that hack. John Hayman said that Arson Judge
was going to the Giants until he wasn't. And then
the cheating asstro Correa had agreed to a deal with
the Giants, and then they looked at the medicals and
said we're good. And then that didn't happen. So the
Giants Rafael Devers was under contract, he couldn't like say
I'm not going. He went and that was it, and

(06:00):
they were celebrating a swing. Boy, that swing of Rafaeld
never sweeter than a sunset over the Geared Deli Square.
There but beautiful Geary Deli Square in San Francisco. It's beautiful.
I had the swing of Rafael Devers and he's he's
young enough, he's in his athletic prime now, and the
Giants banking on him being this generation's middle of the

(06:24):
order slugger and modern day Barry Bonds for the for
the Giants, right, all that hype and all that stuff,
hitting moon shots, hitting balls out in mccoby Cove, and
all those dudes on the yacht and the yachts, the
kayaks out there having a field. The yachts out there
that way. I don't think yachts are allowed. I think
you have a kayak. And that's about anyway. So uh,

(06:47):
the advice, I guess the lesson, the lesson for the
Giants is should have read the fine print. They didn't
read the fine print. Bad job by them. You can
take Rafael Devers out out of Boston, and they did,
but you can't take the Boston out of Rafael Devers
because that is the devas the Red Sox got. Dev
is a social butterfly. But you didn't know that Rafael

(07:11):
Devers a social butterfly. And clearly he had his schedule
all booked up, packed too much to make any time
to get to the ballpark early to hang out with
Will Clark for a little tutorial on how to play
first baby. The guy's a social butterfly. What do you
want to do? Now? It'd be one thing if it
happened one time, but three times, three times Dever said Scott,

(07:33):
rue you, except he didn't say screw you. So Will
Clark on some random podcast somewhere said hey, listen, I
showed up. You know. He assume he had his glove
in his hand there, and had some baseball clothes on,
some workout clothes, and he was ready to teach Rafael
Devers all the secrets he learned in his baseball career,

(07:55):
the finer points of scooping the ball out of the
dirt and where to put your feet and all that
stuff and stretching for outs. And three times Devers said,
uh ixnay on that I ain't going no show. No
by the way, no phone call, well, nobody calls anyone,
ben no text? Can I get an email? No email,

(08:18):
no nothing. So what was Rafael Devers doing the social butterfly?
What was he up to? We don't know for sure.
We assumed maybe he was mapping out the scene in
San Francisco, trying to find all the all you can
eat buffets close to the ballpark. So a zebra. I
think we heard somewhere along the way zebra cannot change
its stripes. We've heard that, right, So the excuse now,

(08:40):
I do like the excuse. The jocksniffers and the media
are like, wow, you've gone to paying attention here, because really,
Devers just didn't want to have to work out at
first base in front of the Red Sox buddies who
were This was back when the Red Sox were in town.
He was bashful. He was bashful, Rafael Devers, and so
that's why he didn't do it. I think it's more

(09:02):
likely that he was out at lunch with his buddies
from the Red Sox, and that's why he didn't show up.
It's not that he was bashful from snow White. I
don't think that was it. So listen, we know Devers
loves to hit, and by all accounts, he's pretty good.
He hasn't been that good with the Giants, and he
seems to like the spotlight. He's had some big moments

(09:24):
in big games. Offensively, we know he loves the check.
Why would you not love the paycheck? Good check, big
giant check for Rafio Devers. So that's good when it
comes to putting in the sweat equity and doing the
things that are uncomfortable and not fun. You know, he's

(09:45):
got things going on. He can't be bothered. So yeah,
maybe after he has a nice dessert, he'll have a
piece of pie and then he'll be okay. San Francisco though, Hey,
I know they're covering for him. And then the team
friendly media in the tank there the giant media. Good
luck because now it's not the full three hundred million.

(10:08):
I believe the Red Sox are on the hook. It's
like two hundred and fifty something million. I think I
saw that number going around two hundred fifty something millions.
That's what's left on Dever's contract till the year twenty
thirty three. So again, a zebra might not change its
stripes and all that. However, I think it can learn
occasionally to show up when you're supposed to be somewhere
like grown up stuff, you know, and hustle occasionally occasionally

(10:32):
hustle possibly, yeah, all right now. Secondly to the Boogie
Down Brox we Go, I beat down in the Bronx.
The big Dumper hit a home run, so did Aaron
Judge as Aaron Judge and cal Raley showdown series. But
it was it was a route or root. Both big
boppers hit home runs. Of course, the Mariners, I think

(10:54):
they were down ten to one by the time cal
Raley hit a home run, so he's won that game,
Game one of a midweek it's a three game series.
I think I'm right on that. I think it's a
three game series. So the story here is the New
York Bronx baseball team making a change to the lineup.
The Yankees moved All Star Jazz Chism. They changed positions

(11:19):
for jazz Chism, moved him back to second base. He
had been playing third base twenty eight consecutive starts at
third base, but they moved him back to second base now.
Manager Aaron Boone on a fanboy podcast implied the move
was made because jazz Chism had been dealing with right
shoulder soreis wink wink, nod nod, So question what is

(11:44):
really behind? What is really behind the Yankees flipping Jazz
chishm Junior, All Star Jazz Chishom Junior back over to
second base. So let's get out the malor muchette. Where
that's right, very sharp stair White, the malor Marchette, and
we will cut through the pinstripe nonsense is what we're

(12:07):
going to do, the spin of the pin stripes. So
the Yankees decision, after a minutes long deliberation, the Yankees
decision to slide Jazz Chisholm Junior back to second base
not about sudden shoulder soreness. No, it's about finally admitting
you have a problem. You have a problem. And anyone

(12:30):
who whether you have a pair of working eyes or
you just have really good hearing because you lost your
eyesight nose by scanning baseball reference that this has been
a problem. It's a small, subtle problem, but it becomes
a bigger problem the further you get into the baseball season.

(12:51):
It's about finally admitting going into the confessional. You go
into the confessional and you admit that listen, this is
a d D situation, all right, defensive disaster is what
it is. And the Yankees' insistence, and they've been doing
this for a couple of months now, they you know,

(13:12):
keep Jazz Chishm at third base. It is malpractice by
the Yankee nerds and all that stuff, and it's like, well,
it's roster management. That's why we're doing it. No, Jazz
Chism's right shoulder supposedly barking.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Arf.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, no, that's an issue that conveniently popped up. It's
popped up out of thin air. And it's not about
his shoulder being sore or anything like that. This is about, again,
an admission. It's about an admission you finally pulled the
plug on an experiment that did not work. You did

(13:49):
it a bunch of times in a row, and it didn't.
The results were not what you wanted. And so Jazz Chism.
His bat has him in the All Star Game, and
the fact that he plays for the Yankees, but as
a fielder, he's a liability at third base. He is
a butcher at the hot corner. That's why he's not
playing there anymore. There's a sizzle reel. I saw it
on X. I don't know put it together, but I

(14:12):
came across it and it's a sizzle reel of Jazz
isn't playing third base? And do you give me an
idea for those of you that are blind, it's a
high wire act. Now I realize these are all the
dumb plays that he made, but awkward pros sailing, just

(14:33):
taking off like they're going to the moon. And it
was like he was auditioning to be the star of
the modern remake of that classic nineteen nineties VHS Major
League Baseball home video. Remember they had a blooper tape,
show me the bloopers? Did you ever see that? Aya
classic classic? And again the thing that's amazing, like the

(14:56):
Yankees kept doubling and trippling down on this. No, no,
we were You're wrong. And so they wedge Jazz Chisholm
into a position because they wanted to play DJ Lemayhew
because they're paying him a lot of money at second base.
He can't play third base, not well. And so they
finally admitted they screwed up. They fed up, and so
now they're raising the white flag and retreating right final

(15:17):
thought to what is next? To what is next? The
sport of baseball is crossing over the rubicon, and they
are fully embracing big tech, fully embracing big tech. So
they tested robo umpires. Remember in spring training they had
robo umpires. They've been doing this in the minor leagues

(15:38):
for a couple of years, trying to get everyone used
to it. So it's been going on, and they are
this close to rolling out robot umpires in Major League
Baseball is playing probably gonna happen next year. They might
push it back till twenty twenty six. However, the players
don't want it, and they continue to point out they

(15:58):
want nothing to do with big tech. Even though they
did it in spring training, they don't want to do it.
Longtime Bleeding Heart Baseball described him. Kirchten said baseball players
are against robotomps. He gave a quote about that and
talks to a lot of players. Now, there was a
recent survey done behind a Paywalt, The Old Gray Lady,

(16:21):
The Athletic, and New York Times Athletic. They bought it
and showed that nearly two thirds nearly two thirds of
baseball players were against the robo amps. Now, Kirchin, after
talking to a bunch of random baseball players, said the
umpires are better than they think, all right, so question

(16:43):
Major League Baseball's almost guaranteed to do this, right. I
feel like there's almost no way they don't do this.
But the players, players, the players of Major League Baseball
are against the big tech AI, the robot takeover of
the baseball umpiring on the balls and the strikes and

(17:04):
all that. So how do you read the room? How
do you read the room on this? So Rob Manford,
better known by his gangster name Manfraud, the Commissioner of baseball,
he's got a bug up his took us. He wants
to fully get in on this right fully, the grand

(17:25):
old game of baseball. You must get rid all these
shuman beings. And it's like his wet dream to add
the balls and strikes being called by the empires. Now
I don't watch tennis. I just try to avoid it.
There is a major tennis tournament going on across that
mighty Atlantic Ocean, and there was a clip that went viral.

(17:48):
They use big tech they got rid of. They have
a referee, but I think they got rid of like
the lion judges. And at that particular event, there was
a glitch. The robotic AI whatever android robot system thing

(18:09):
they use, screwed up and it was very awkward, and
so they had to go back and manually kind of
look at it and all that stuff. So it's not perfect.
But Manford wants to march out in these cathedrals of
baseball Yankee Stadium Finway, Wrigley Field, and even the new
cathedrals of baseball like in San Francisco and Pittsburgh and

(18:31):
all these other places, and wants the algorithm to decide
what's going on. Right, you cooked up in the basement
of some big tech gurus outfit there to call balls
and strikes. Now, this continues the mission statement of Rob
Manford that the game must be bigger, it must be

(18:52):
more sterile, and we must get rid of the soul
of Major League Baseball because people don't want to watch
full game. They just want to watch highlights anyway, So
who cares if there's humans there and all that stuff?
And spoiler alert, spoiler alert, this is not PlayStation five
some kind of simulation or when we're not doing that,
I don't think. And Manford, though he does want this

(19:15):
for him, it's perfect for him, it's perfect. But I
would like to bring up the immortal words of Winston
Churchill who said perfection is the enemy of progress. He's
trying for perfection and we are campaigning. I like the
umpires now. I realize this is going to happen whether
I like it or not. But I like the umpires
human element in the game, and This is one of

(19:38):
those little things that used to be in baseball where
you would study. Believe it or not, players had to
study the umpire because every umpire had a little bit
of a different strike zone, and some umpires had a
wider strike zone. Some umpires called the low strikes, some
called the high strike, and so the smart players had
an advantage. They would actually pay attention to who was
the umpire years ago. This stopped probably when Greg Maddox

(19:59):
left baseball and around that time. But you would study
the umpire. You'd have a three ring binder on umpires,
and you'd also know how to massage umpires. Get some
calls and how do you massage a computer? I don't
want to know. I don't want to know, but there
you go, rob Man. For my advice is just stick

(20:20):
to running interference for those cheating asstros the big goon there,
protecting people from criticizing them or taking the World Series
trophy away and all that stuff. So anyway, it is
the Band Maler Show. We will press on. We'll take

I don't know what Willis and Andrea, if they really

(26:20):
the Commonwealth anywhere, or else they wouldn't be, you know,
work with me and Willis most are assuredly coming to
you for the Commonwealth. Who says that anyway?

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, well it's possible that they are actually ard marks.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yes, but when you mixed it with me. It's a
retard bark. It's all right. Listen, you were talking about
phone earlier. You've tell you that not punds. Do you
ever have binges with regards to your your bodily function?
Because I've done four noteworthy deprecations in the last eight
and twelve hours, and that that is that is not fun.
Anyboy out there needs perspective, Okay, come out. That's worse

(26:54):
than a sprained ankle. That's worse than a presentation due
next Tuesday and saying you're past me now. I always
think about boxing box fingers turned the page. You know,
he's not doing presentations and as a terrible channeling of
the average man. What are justin Lorana? So thank god
they're back. I was so concerned that they had been
fired and that those those other ones were real Induities

(27:15):
and Tammy and Montana. You are terrible at life, Okay,
Loranda's playing all the right things always. Where can we
find these?

Speaker 5 (27:23):
Can we download these?

Speaker 2 (27:24):
This malord repository anyway? Repositor out there.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Yes, yes, repository exactly. You can't download this stuff anywhere.
It's not available. Maybe we should put that up on
the internet. Let people download the stuff much.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Yeah, it would be for once you would be approved.
I would not have to be worried about the digital
police coming back and getting me around the way round
the bend one day. You never have the idea that
if your thoughts weren't like boomerang shapes, you would never forget.
You'd never be a complete of champus because I'll lose
n a lot of the way through if they don't
come back to me. I look super the usual.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
You would never look stupid, Jed, You're such a You're
such a genius.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
I was stupid with the direction. Man, I'm looking at
what I am a genius. I'm thank god I was
born in the Florida Panhandle. I can read moorderlines. I
am George rather or not a couple of my family.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
How's your math? By the way, how's your math? Is
your math? Good? Good math? Guy? There a good school
system there in the Panhandle of Florida.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Hey, hey, Pat or Ryan, today's time. Can I buy
a vowel? Can I buy an eve? And you saying
your vowels?

Speaker 5 (28:31):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (28:31):
You go from math? I mean I don't have to

The other day, as he was says something about me
that wasn't true. But then as he was getting dumped,

so you have to type in all seven winker bounces
off the wall and rolls around and rolls around like
a little cunch or David Bedr, thank you.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
You got that.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
You know there's a full moon out tonight.

blind person like blind Scott blind? How can I have
an opinion on sports?
