Playball.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three, our number three. On this Wednesday
hump Day, the twentieth day of the month of August,
and we talked some baseball. Do you find Yankee skipper
Aaron Boone's about face on Aaron Judge returning to the
outfield is throwing to be significant? Also, Dave Roberts says
(00:22):
he's not not moving Mookie Bets out of shortstop to
the outfield even though the Dodgers outfield play has been
a tire fire. Why not? And the Rangers are skipping
Jacob de Gram the former met his next start because
of shoulder fatigue. They're calling it not an il stint,
(00:43):
just a little workload management. What's your read on this?
We'll go there as well. Right now here, it is
our number three. Don't judge me. Bro Welcome in the
beginning another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
We are in the air every.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Where, hob knobbers well, we will be on Saturday. As
we veer off course, we do coast, the coast, border,
the border in beyond. On the mast and lyrically powerful
microphones of fs are amminating live from the trail, the
vapor trail that we leave behind the Fox Sports Radio
(01:28):
Studios as approved by j D in Boston, and the
legend Chip in the QS who was at one of
the first Mallard meet and greets we had in Syracuse.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Chippin' Dale were there. Yeah, that's right, Chippindale. They were
both there and.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You know I love them, Yeah, exactly. This portion of
the Ben Malor Show made possible by ti Iraq. For
over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive
ship fast end free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack
dot Com. The Way Tire Buying should be coming up
(02:05):
later this hour. We will have too much or not enough.
We got the Riddle of the Day. Also the Queen
of Hearts with Lorena. That all will be coming up
a little bit later and the hot if you want
to send questions in for the Queen of Hearts hashtag
Queen of Hearts that'll be coming up a little bit later,
but will begin this hour in the Boogey down Bronx,
but really not the Bronx floor. That's where the Traveling
Road Show of the New York Yankees finds itself and
(02:27):
they smashed the Rays. They really were the Bronx bombers
in that game last night. Is the Yankees have awoken
from their slumber. They just had to play some crappy
teams like the Twins and the Cardinals, and now they're
playing Tampa Bay and so the Yankees are starting to
win games again.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
That was a rain delayed game.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I actually was watching some of the I kept flipping
overs and when's that Yankee game gonna be? And maybe
I had some financial interest, maybe not. And the YES
Network had Adam Ottovido, a like a pitcher generic pitcher.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
For the Yankees and back in the day a.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Couple of years ago, and I think he was even
pitching this year with the Red Sox. Anyway, he was
for some reason, it was there and they it was
like an hour interview with Adam Outovino, which I don't
know that anyone wants, but they did it on the
Yankee broadcast. But that's not the point of this male monologue.
So they had a bonfire the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
They had a.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Self inflicted wound situation before that game got going. So
if you didn't hear about this, maybe not Yankee manager
Aaron Boom. Aaron Boone, so he was all of a
sudden singing a much different tune. Aaron Boone on the
status of Aaron Judge, says he would be able to return.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
To the field this season.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Aaron Boone said after earlier casting doubt, doom and gloom
from Aaron Boone about whether or not that would happen.
Now Judge has been limited to being a designated hitter,
which is a problem because the Thanes already have a
bunch of designated hitters.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
They got a big one in John Carlos Stanton.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So Judge has only been a D eight since he's
come back, and he was activated from the DL August fifth,
so a couple of.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Weeks ago, and he still got some issues there.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He had a flexer strain, which is an elbow problem.
He used to say an elbow. They said you had
a problem with your OLB, but now they say like
a flexer string, So id problem with the well anyway,
Aaron Boone popped up on WFN, the all sports station
there in New York, and there he said this was
(04:35):
on a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
He said there was no timetable.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Aaron buonce said there was no timetable on Aaron Judge
being able to properly throw the ball and all that.
He said, quote, and this is a quote, Aaron Boone said,
I don't think we're going to see him throwing like
he normally does at any point this year.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Aaron Boone said.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
He also said that we've got to feel like he
can go out there.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And protect himself. Close quote.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
So Aaron Judge heard about that and did something very
out of character, very out of character for Aaron Judge.
He slapped back at Aaron Boone. Oh my god, the
Yankee star is sparring with the Yankee manager.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh my god. This is like old school, forty years
ago Yankees.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, so Aaron Judge said, quote, I don't know why
he meaning Aaron Boone said that this next line is
a dagger of the heart. Aaron Judge said, he Aaron
Boone hasn't seen me throw the past two weeks. I'm
pretty confident I'll get back to that close quote. All right,
(05:46):
so let us discuss the question do you find Aaron
Boone and his about face on Aaron Judge and his
ability to throw the ball significant? So I've we've got CBS,
Winnie the Pooh and mister Potato Head, and we will
(06:06):
combine these three random things together and we are going
to make a party like we're gonna have on Saturday
in Vegas. So, first of all, Aaron Boone on this
one is like a kaleidoscope, meaning he's all over the place.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
He is. So Boone went from writing Aaron Judge.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
The eulogy for his ability the habituary for his ability
to throw the football at least this year. He went
from that extreme to a defender of Aaron Judge. He
went from that to cutting the ribbon on the comeback
parade in the span of a couple of interviews. Now
which one is it? Will the real response? Please stand up?
(06:55):
Will the real response? Please stand up? So you can't
say that the house is condemned and then throw a
block party in the driveway of the house.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's essentially what's going on here.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
So the Boom, we know he's the king of the cuddle, Cuddle, cuddle, cuddle.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
He's the king of the cuddle.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
He loves to make excuses for his players and deflect
and it's really it's terrible in that regard doesn't hold
players accountable publicly things you're supposed to do in a
professional sports environment. He treats the Yankees like little leaguers,
and then they get to the big games and they
play like the little leaguers. Check out the fifth inning
of Game five of the World Series last year, Dodgers
(07:35):
and Yankees. Anyway, so the Yankee skipper on this one,
he needs to go down to CVS and go down
to the pharmacy at CBS and pick up the prescription
for the antibiotics because he's been diagnosed Aaron Boone with
a case of foot and mouth disease. He picked that
(07:55):
up somewhere along the way. Yeah, I said one thing,
and then Judge comes out slaps him down, And that's
a big part of this story. That to me, that's
a big part it because Aaron Judge is a lot
of things controversial. No, he's not as boring as Derek
Jeter was, but he's part of that same family where
(08:17):
they don't only say anything all that interesting. You get
all the sponsors, you don't know anything controversial and all
that stuff. And Aaron Judge comes out as like, hey, dude,
you haven't even seen me throw for two weeks. This
is the franchise player, the franchise player for the New
York Yankees, and Aaron Boone can't get his ass out
there to watch Judge throw in the outfield.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Come on, come on, what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
So Judge basically told him stay in your lane, as
the great LeVar Ball would say, stay in your lane,
which I gotta say, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
It's a little bit wild. And you don't usually hear
from the hum drum player, Aaron Judge. You don't normally
hear the captain swat down the manager or the Yankees.
You don't do that publicly. But here go and so
Boone of course then immediately put his tail between his legs,
and you know, he does change his tune quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
He changes his tune. It's kind of like the wedding DJ.
You know, you don't know what you're gonna go to wedding.
You don't know what you're gonna get right. One day,
it's do him and gloom. The next day for Aaron Boone, it's.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Hey, Judge, you'll be fine. Oh he's good to go.
He is good to go now.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I tend to believe the first response by Aaron Boone
was the accurate response that that was what's really going on,
and then Judge got upset, and so then Boone had.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
To walk that back.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And there is a world where the Yankees don't want
Aaron Judge to play the field the rest of the
year because they're worried about his long term viability. He's
in his almost mid thirties at this point, and so
they'll be, ah, we're gonna shut him down defensively, and
then Judge is like, screw you, I'm gonna play the outfield.
And Judge has that forever contract, so he's gonna be
the one that wins. Now, speaking of problems to Los Angeles,
(09:57):
we go where the Dawyers actually won a game in
Colorado last night and Dave Roberts there was a big
story making the rounds. The Dodgers had a meeting after
the game on Monday, and Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman,
the King of the Nerds, they got together Mookie Bets,
and so the chatter was the Dodgers are preparing to
move Mookie Bets back to the outfield, the old Red
(10:17):
Sox and go back to the outfield. So Dave Roberts
says he is not not moving Mookie Bets from shortstop,
even though the Los Angeles Dodgers outfield play has been
a white hot tire fire. So the question that must
be asked is why not? Why would you not make
(10:37):
that happen? So I have a theory on this. The
reason the Dodgers are refusing to do the thing they
should do, and they don't want to do it at
the time they should do it. It's a Winnie the
Pooh situation. The Dodgers are like e Or in winning
the put right. They're stubborn donkeys, is what they are.
(11:00):
That's what they are. They don't want to admit they
screwed this thing up, and that's all this is. That's
all this is. It's organizational arrogance or a word that I've.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Used a lot recently.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I know Paul and Ottawa likes hubers. It's that they
cowtop like Mookie wanted to play shortstop because it's more
fun to play shortstop than is in the outfield. So
Mookie wanted to play shortstop. The Dodgers moved Mookie Bets
to shortstop this year and it made them look smart
and they were getting pats on the back at a
(11:34):
Boys from other baseball teams and the baseball media like, oh,
they were great, and so.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Now they're like now they're they're pot committed. I mean
they're in. Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
You know, Mookie Bets has not only been a shortstop,
he's been a jazz just a shortstop, jas just a shortstop.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
And he has been when he's.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Played outfield with him and going back to his Red
Sox days and at times he's been in the for
the Dodgers, he's been an elite outfielder, elite right fielder.
And so we're at the point now if they pull
the plug the Dodgers now they would be admitting that
the media and even worse, the customers have been right
all along.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
You cannot do that, cannot do it, can't.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
You can't you know you can't, right, So instead they
try to out well, there's injuries, there's other variables and
all that stuff. I know, pour us, we've been ravaged
by injuries. Boo yeah, cube of violins, right, These poor
lost souls, these poor lost souls.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
In Dodger blue. Ridiculous men.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Meanwhile, the outfield defense looking like a like a Friday
night Beer League softball type situation.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Is what it looks like out there.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So you know, I kept hearing about the roster flexibility
and all this great stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Now they're picking up guys that I've never even heard.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
This guy Kennedy on the Dodgers, who played with the
Blue Jays and some other teams.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And where that guy come from? And he's in the
lineup like every day? What happened?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Who?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
So the Dodgers think they're the smartest guys in the room.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Well, they won the World Series.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay, I got it, But I'm just saying on this one,
they would rather double down on stupid with a capital S,
then admit that the fan is right, that the low
information fan got one right, that the media types are right. Anybody,
anybody other than them can't know more about Mookie Bets
(13:37):
cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Typical all right?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Now, speaking of typical, final thought, we go to Arlington, Arlington, Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
All of the Rangers. I'm all doing. Remember when the
Rangers won the World Series a couple of years ago?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
So ed in Arlington, the great edit Arlington is a
radio caller and a diehard Texas Ranger. Apologies, So the Rangers,
and that they are skipping Jacob de Gram. Yeah, the
old guy that used to play for the Mets. They're
they're skipping Jacob de Gram's next start shoulder fatigue out
(14:11):
my aching showder They're saying now they're saying it's not
that big a deal. They're calling it shoulder fatigue, as
I said. And then you know it's not going on
what used to be the.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
D L, but now it's the I L.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And you know, just a little workload management channeling the NBA.
So what's your read? What's your read on this one?
So this is the most Jacob de Gram thing ever.
It's an s OP situation standard operating procedure for Jacob
(14:45):
de Gram. And this is again another example. The Rangers
thought they were buying a Rolls Royce and it was
it is a Rolls Royce, but they bought a Rolls Royce.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
But every time you want to take it out on.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
The highway the interstate, you first have to take it
to the shop and have a mechanic check it out
to make sure the engine won't explode when you get
it out.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
On the interstate.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
And there's a car dealership in southern California that has
a great jingle.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It's on YouTube. You want to see it's called Toyota
of Orange. It's joke.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You won't get a lemon. That's their jingle, you won't
get a lemon. That's one of the all time great jingles.
I love jingles. They still use it won't get a lemon. Well,
the Rangers got a lemon. Okay, they got a lemon.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
When he's on the mound, de Gram is Picasso. When
he's on the man, he's Rembrand.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
He's van Go on the mound, all rolled into one
like some super art person, you know, super that.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
He's even like Bob Ross. He's like Bob Ross painting
trees on PBS.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
He's that good and he paints these masterpieces. However, he's
always waiting and you're watching him, but you're always waiting.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
He's waiting.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
He's waiting for the power to go out in the
middle of the art exhibit, say, oh, my show the
grom he's got this. Mister potato had been going on
and like you got the elbow from here, you got
the shoulders over. There's an issue with the show. You
get the hip before mister potato Head doesn't have shoulders.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Okay, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I'm just saying they just slapped all these body parts
of mister Potato, and I'm not saying missus Potato, and
I'm saying mister Potato. They just put them all back
to coming. Now it's a scissors and pace situation.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
At this point. It's he's scissor and pass. Get little glue.
I liked Elmer's glue. You can like other glue, and
you put it all together in a little duct tape.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
And get a pocket knife and you're like this old
show called Macguiver back in the day.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
And then then that's all you need.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And uh, another way to describe it is Jacob de
Gram at this point is like those old really cool
action figures you might had when you were a kid,
back when people played with stuff other than like their phones.
You know, these action figures and stuff, and the the
arms don't stay on. You know you have that problem.
You play with the action figures, like the arms won't
(17:12):
stay on, and then you snap them back into the
action figure and they're really awesome, and then five minutes
later they.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Fall out and you're like, oh crap. You know that's
the grum.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
He's an action figure that the arm falls off and
you put it back on. He's good for five minutes
and then it falls off again. It's ultimate tease, and
it's like that shiny toy that got for Christmas or
HONEK or whatever, and you wanted it your entire childhood,
and you you rip the box open, you tear off
the wrapping paper, you rip the box up, you're so excited.
(17:44):
Works perfectly for an hour, and then you're like, oh man,
the batteries they're not working, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I need some new batteries.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And you're like, hey, mom, I need some new BA
I need some double A batteries, Bob.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
And your mom said, well, we'll.

Speaker 8 (24:35):
Yeah, he's a clown.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Better a clown, all right, that makes sense. Yeah, so
here's the riddle.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Brewers manager Pat Murphy on Cubs Prospect owed, Casey, he's
a blank, isn't he. There's not too many blanks in
the big leagues who can't hit check it out. They
don't bring blanks up here. And he was saying, the
answer is he's a redhead. Redhead is the answer.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, yeah, you aren't far away. I was going to
follow eenie meenie miney mo.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Let's say hello to Let's go to Greg, who's in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
What's going on? Greg? Welcome? Welcome?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
If I if I was any better, i'd be sleeping
because I'd be doing like a daytime show and be
making you know, a lot money and all that. But no,
and I'm happy. I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
What's going on? How can we help you? Greg?
Speaker 9 (25:29):
I've had to call in about your take on the
Mookie Bets in the shortstop situation. Yeah, yeah, I thought
you were way off.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Do you work for the Dodgers?
Speaker 9 (25:41):
No, I don't. I mean Anneapolis.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Are you? Are you related to Mookie Bets?
Speaker 9 (25:46):
No, it's just he's like second in the end now
in defensive rating.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Okay, congratulations, I actually watched the games. He's not very good.
Speaker 9 (25:59):
Okay, well, just in comparison to other shortstops he is good.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Uh so we can we can disagree.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
So you're just going it off. You went on like, uh,
you went off the nerds. Stat is what you're going
off the nerds, dad, which is fine. I mean, you
do what you are on a baseball savant. You looked
up some numbers and you called it and you're like,
you're wrong. Oh I looked at baseball savant and you're
not baseball savant.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Okay, and I know, I admit I'm not. I'm not
baseball savon. I admitted no, neither.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
The Dodgers would be a better baseball team with Mookie
Bets and right field.
Speaker 9 (26:35):
They would be like that's basically thing to tell Derek
Jeter if the Yankees had a problem to move him
to the outfield.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Well, there was a Jared Jeter.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Derek Jude was a terrible shortstop, and you're gonna tell
me he was good because again you're gonna go by
the numbers, and that's fine. He was a terrible shortstop.
He should have moved a Rod should have played shortstop
when he came over there. It was embarrassing that Jeter
stated shortstop. He actually the Yankees would have won more
championships Jeter had moved out of shortstop.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
He was a trash. Yeah it was not good.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
They were pretty close.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
But okay, see you you love you know.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
The point is, you know you believe because baseball Somemon said,
Mookie Betts is a good shortstop, so leave him at shortstop.
Speaker 9 (27:14):
Well that's the idea is to get like a good fielding,
good hitting shortstop, and then you haven't advantage.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Of Mookie Bets has been a terrible hitter, and many
people believe it's because he's trying to play shortstop. That
that's what he's been. He's he's a shell of what
he has been. Yeah that I guys, listen, we just
but I appreciate you calling up and sparring with me.
I thank you for that.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I do.
Speaker 9 (27:36):
I appreciate the effort.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, yeah, all right, thank you. George. By George, he's
in he's in the valley, just down the street. Head
George Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
George Sermon is Neurencino. Whereas raised Uh to twelve.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Okay in Sino Man they made a movie years ago
and Sino Man.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Yeah, I had a seen.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah I haven't. That's before your time, Lorena. For you,
it's with Brendan Fraser.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
I love Brendan Fraser.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You should watch It's a mom Yeah, there's a lot
of ambient noise, George. I'm hearing a lot of noise
in the background. What's going on with you?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
There's these trucks going by him on the freeway.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Okay, you want to roll the window up there?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
The windows have been anyway, So my I echo Minnesota
guy actually went to school in Minnesota, but I don't
know the young man that called before. Uh, looky is
happy yet? Short stop? The Dodgers like happy players, and
that's why they gave him the shot. He worked really,
really hard, and then at the beginning of the season,
(28:46):
you might recall that he had a mystery gastro intestinal
illness and they didn't know if he was going to play,
and then they figured him out, and so he should
have been getting back back to himself and it's been
you know, fits and starts like it is in the
baseball season. Then he's gonna be just fine. And the
(29:09):
Dodgers are gonna win the championship again, and maybe he'll
be happy and maybe.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All okay, George.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
So I would argue that you could pay you could
put Mookie bets anywhere and he'd be happy. They're paying
him three hundred and sixty five million dollars, Like why
would you not be happy? I like the whole argument.
You imagine telling your boss I don't want to do
that extra assignment because I wouldn't be happy, Like who would?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
How does that work? Like I don't in the real world.
I don't understand how that works.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Well, he's one of their most important pieces, and he
and the management decided that the series is going to
be short stop and he works, you know all.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I know, but you don't understand that, like for people
that have like real lives and live in the real way,
And it's a ridiculous statement to make. I should tell
my boss, you people work overnight die younger, that I'm
losing time on my life and I would be happier
if I did a midday show. And so therefore I do,
I mean, don't you want me happy as a talk
(30:13):
show host? I should be working during the day. I'd
make more money, and I would live longer. And why
am I doing overnights? Aren't I important to the company?
According to him, is like woll mookie bets would be happier,
and you want happy people. I'd be a happier employee.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So I don't understand. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (30:34):
We must take everyone into consideration.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Clearly, I listen, I was. I was not raised that way.
Clearly I was. My parents were wrong. But that's just fine.
You know, things happen, all right.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Let's see who do we have here? Any meany money?
Do we have a game show contest? Do we not know?
No game show contest? Is that right? See hollering James, James,
Are you there? James?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Holler James from ready?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
You sound like your voice is ready to die. Just
hear it?
Speaker 8 (31:08):
Right?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
All right, calm down, keep your pants on. Let's play
the game. Here we go, Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
It's another Ben Maller game.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
We've endured too many of this?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Is it too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Already?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Let's see here week ago? Too much or not enough?
You gotta get three questions, right, James?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
You won this game the greatest moment in show history
in a game show fastest me.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I was not on this street man, and I'm not
a creet man.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Yes, you won the game while sleeping. One of the
great moments in the history of radio that should have
gotten more publicity. Should have gotten more publicity.
Speaker 10 (31:47):
But you know, hurry, I.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
You're wasting time. Let's play the game. Here we go.
Three questions. All the answers are too much or not enough?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Question number one, Treek School just became the first pitcher
to reach two hundred strikeouts this season. Now, last season,
eight pitchers reached that mark. Is that too much or
not enough? Uh, let's find out. Hey, look at that James.
(32:17):
You got you got it right now? The answer is
not enough. There were eleven pitchers with at least two
hundred strikeouts last year, Hollowing James.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Question number two.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
John Wall announced his retirement on Tuesday. He is one
of only five players ever to average over nine assists
per game in the postseason in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 10 (32:38):
I too much?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
All right, let's find out. Unbelievable look at this guy,
Hollowing James. Is there a full moon?
Speaker 10 (32:45):
I'm a I'm ada Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Okay, the answer is too much.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
He's one of three players along with Irvin Magic Johnson
and John Stockton. Question number three, damn Daniel Jones will
be the cold six different week one starting quarterback within
the last ten years. Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Not enough?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Fight out? Wow, James? You you won the game, James?
Not enough?
Speaker 6 (33:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
You well you won. You want me to keep going?
I'll keep going.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
You want to win another one? Okay, here we go.
Question number four for Bryce Hart He already won. But
question for Bryce Harper is twenty of home run in
the season earlier this week. It is his tenth career
season with twenty or more home runs. Is that too
much or not enough? Oh my god, that's right again.
Holy crap, it's his eleven. No, there's no way you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Get this last one.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
No, yeah, no, no, yeah, you got one more before
you give them another one. There were twenty by the way,
that was his eleven. He's in eating twenty one more,
Bryce Harper. Question number five for hollering James trying to
run the board. That means we have to call the game.
The hollering James. I know he's about to die, but
he's he's on his deathbed.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
All that.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
There were twenty quarterbacks to throw for more than thirty
five hundred yards last season to sweep the board, James
get another golden ticket?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Is that too much or not enough? Too much?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (34:24):
My god, is swept?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Hold the crap, hollering, dam You have just witnessed a
man who takes thirty six bills in the morning and
thirty six bills at night.

All right, I shut up. You've won.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
You're gonna keep him or give them to somebody else, James,
you know, yeah, see, you don't have to worry about it. Coop,
he's just gonna give him to Tammy Montanez.

Speaker 10 (38:21):
He's convinced he's okay because he thinks his questions are
not as weird as the other dms you get, Lorena.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
I mean we could have a competition. I could post
that online. I don't know that I want to look
at your dms. I don't want to see it.
Speaker 8 (38:35):
Be a little scary.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
You can only imagine what you're getting, especially on bikini days. Okay,
I tell your producer to knock it off.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Pat.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Please, come on, You're a big star. You don't need that.
What's wrong with you? Bring your brain down. Let's go
to blind Scott, who's on the north end of Boston.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Blind Scott, Hey, thanks.
Speaker 10 (38:50):
For taking the call. So I haven't talked to my
dad in seven years, and I talked to him yesterday.
I had like a very fine day yesterday where I
just decided to lash out at everybody. So I reached
out to my dad and I said very friendly to him.
I said, you know, in the past seven years, I've
been every letter of the LGBTQ alphabet. I was like, Dad,
I'm gay. You know I'm gay. And I said all
(39:11):
this stuff about being gay and stuff. And he never
rolled me back, but I could see he read all
the messages. What do you think the outcome is going
to be this, I'm going to take the questions off here.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (39:20):
I think he's just a little speechless.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
You know.
Speaker 8 (39:22):
It can be a lot.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
To take in. Yeah, yeah, maybe maybe his phone got lost.
Speaker 8 (39:29):
Maybe he dropped it like the previous collar, into the toilet.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
People get older, maybe things will change, who knows. JT.
The Wingman says, I'm trying to help ferg Dog find
a woman. Do they make.
Speaker 2 (39:39):

Speaker 1 (39:44):
That's from JT. The Wingman.
Speaker 8 (39:45):
I love caprice and if you have nice ankles, they
can look good on anything. And also you can turn
any pair of pants into capricess.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
What's the Ferguss. What's the most romantic ride at Disneyland.
Speaker 8 (39:57):
Oh, that's a hard It's got to be pirate of
the car being the lighted so dark in there, you
could do mischievous really, the restaurant.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Or Haunted Mansion. But there's cameras on that one. There's
cameras on the one they can see you. There's cameras
also on the Pirates of the Cara. There's cameras Disneyland.
There's cameras everywhere, a lot of cameras.
Playball.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three, our number three. On this Wednesday
hump Day, the twentieth day of the month of August,
and we talked some baseball. Do you find Yankee skipper
Aaron Boone's about face on Aaron Judge returning to the
outfield is throwing to be significant? Also, Dave Roberts says
(00:22):
he's not not moving Mookie Bets out of shortstop to
the outfield even though the Dodgers outfield play has been
a tire fire. Why not? And the Rangers are skipping
Jacob de Gram the former met his next start because
of shoulder fatigue. They're calling it not an il stint,
(00:43):
just a little workload management. What's your read on this?
We'll go there as well. Right now here, it is
our number three. Don't judge me. Bro Welcome in the
beginning another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
We are in the air every.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Where, hob knobbers well, we will be on Saturday. As
we veer off course, we do coast, the coast, border,
the border in beyond. On the mast and lyrically powerful
microphones of fs are amminating live from the trail, the
vapor trail that we leave behind the Fox Sports Radio
(01:28):
Studios as approved by j D in Boston, and the
legend Chip in the QS who was at one of
the first Mallard meet and greets we had in Syracuse.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Chippin' Dale were there. Yeah, that's right, Chippindale. They were
both there and.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You know I love them, Yeah, exactly. This portion of
the Ben Malor Show made possible by ti Iraq. For
over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive
ship fast end free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack
dot Com. The Way Tire Buying should be coming up
(02:05):
later this hour. We will have too much or not enough.
We got the Riddle of the Day. Also the Queen
of Hearts with Lorena. That all will be coming up
a little bit later and the hot if you want
to send questions in for the Queen of Hearts hashtag
Queen of Hearts that'll be coming up a little bit later,
but will begin this hour in the Boogey down Bronx,
but really not the Bronx floor. That's where the Traveling
Road Show of the New York Yankees finds itself and
(02:27):
they smashed the Rays. They really were the Bronx bombers
in that game last night. Is the Yankees have awoken
from their slumber. They just had to play some crappy
teams like the Twins and the Cardinals, and now they're
playing Tampa Bay and so the Yankees are starting to
win games again.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
That was a rain delayed game.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I actually was watching some of the I kept flipping
overs and when's that Yankee game gonna be? And maybe
I had some financial interest, maybe not. And the YES
Network had Adam Ottovido, a like a pitcher generic pitcher.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
For the Yankees and back in the day a.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Couple of years ago, and I think he was even
pitching this year with the Red Sox. Anyway, he was
for some reason, it was there and they it was
like an hour interview with Adam Outovino, which I don't
know that anyone wants, but they did it on the
Yankee broadcast. But that's not the point of this male monologue.
So they had a bonfire the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
They had a.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Self inflicted wound situation before that game got going. So
if you didn't hear about this, maybe not Yankee manager
Aaron Boom. Aaron Boone, so he was all of a
sudden singing a much different tune. Aaron Boone on the
status of Aaron Judge, says he would be able to return.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
To the field this season.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Aaron Boone said after earlier casting doubt, doom and gloom
from Aaron Boone about whether or not that would happen.
Now Judge has been limited to being a designated hitter,
which is a problem because the Thanes already have a
bunch of designated hitters.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
They got a big one in John Carlos Stanton.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So Judge has only been a D eight since he's
come back, and he was activated from the DL August fifth,
so a couple of.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Weeks ago, and he still got some issues there.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He had a flexer strain, which is an elbow problem.
He used to say an elbow. They said you had
a problem with your OLB, but now they say like
a flexer string, So id problem with the well anyway,
Aaron Boone popped up on WFN, the all sports station
there in New York, and there he said this was
(04:35):
on a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
He said there was no timetable.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Aaron buonce said there was no timetable on Aaron Judge
being able to properly throw the ball and all that.
He said, quote, and this is a quote, Aaron Boone said,
I don't think we're going to see him throwing like
he normally does at any point this year.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Aaron Boone said.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
He also said that we've got to feel like he
can go out there.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And protect himself. Close quote.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
So Aaron Judge heard about that and did something very
out of character, very out of character for Aaron Judge.
He slapped back at Aaron Boone. Oh my god, the
Yankee star is sparring with the Yankee manager.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Oh my god. This is like old school, forty years
ago Yankees.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, so Aaron Judge said, quote, I don't know why
he meaning Aaron Boone said that this next line is
a dagger of the heart. Aaron Judge said, he Aaron
Boone hasn't seen me throw the past two weeks. I'm
pretty confident I'll get back to that close quote. All right,
(05:46):
so let us discuss the question do you find Aaron
Boone and his about face on Aaron Judge and his
ability to throw the ball significant? So I've we've got CBS,
Winnie the Pooh and mister Potato Head, and we will
(06:06):
combine these three random things together and we are going
to make a party like we're gonna have on Saturday
in Vegas. So, first of all, Aaron Boone on this
one is like a kaleidoscope, meaning he's all over the place.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
He is. So Boone went from writing Aaron Judge.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
The eulogy for his ability the habituary for his ability
to throw the football at least this year. He went
from that extreme to a defender of Aaron Judge. He
went from that to cutting the ribbon on the comeback
parade in the span of a couple of interviews. Now
which one is it? Will the real response? Please stand up?
(06:55):
Will the real response? Please stand up? So you can't
say that the house is condemned and then throw a
block party in the driveway of the house.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That's essentially what's going on here.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
So the Boom, we know he's the king of the cuddle, Cuddle, cuddle, cuddle.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
He's the king of the cuddle.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
He loves to make excuses for his players and deflect
and it's really it's terrible in that regard doesn't hold
players accountable publicly things you're supposed to do in a
professional sports environment. He treats the Yankees like little leaguers,
and then they get to the big games and they
play like the little leaguers. Check out the fifth inning
of Game five of the World Series last year, Dodgers
(07:35):
and Yankees. Anyway, so the Yankee skipper on this one,
he needs to go down to CVS and go down
to the pharmacy at CBS and pick up the prescription
for the antibiotics because he's been diagnosed Aaron Boone with
a case of foot and mouth disease. He picked that
(07:55):
up somewhere along the way. Yeah, I said one thing,
and then Judge comes out slaps him down, And that's
a big part of this story. That to me, that's
a big part it because Aaron Judge is a lot
of things controversial. No, he's not as boring as Derek
Jeter was, but he's part of that same family where
(08:17):
they don't only say anything all that interesting. You get
all the sponsors, you don't know anything controversial and all
that stuff. And Aaron Judge comes out as like, hey, dude,
you haven't even seen me throw for two weeks. This
is the franchise player, the franchise player for the New
York Yankees, and Aaron Boone can't get his ass out
there to watch Judge throw in the outfield.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Come on, come on, what's going on here?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
So Judge basically told him stay in your lane, as
the great LeVar Ball would say, stay in your lane,
which I gotta say, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
It's a little bit wild. And you don't usually hear
from the hum drum player, Aaron Judge. You don't normally
hear the captain swat down the manager or the Yankees.
You don't do that publicly. But here go and so
Boone of course then immediately put his tail between his legs,
and you know, he does change his tune quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
He changes his tune. It's kind of like the wedding DJ.
You know, you don't know what you're gonna go to wedding.
You don't know what you're gonna get right. One day,
it's do him and gloom. The next day for Aaron Boone, it's.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Hey, Judge, you'll be fine. Oh he's good to go.
He is good to go now.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I tend to believe the first response by Aaron Boone
was the accurate response that that was what's really going on,
and then Judge got upset, and so then Boone had.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
To walk that back.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And there is a world where the Yankees don't want
Aaron Judge to play the field the rest of the
year because they're worried about his long term viability. He's
in his almost mid thirties at this point, and so
they'll be, ah, we're gonna shut him down defensively, and
then Judge is like, screw you, I'm gonna play the outfield.
And Judge has that forever contract, so he's gonna be
the one that wins. Now, speaking of problems to Los Angeles,
(09:57):
we go where the Dawyers actually won a game in
Colorado last night and Dave Roberts there was a big
story making the rounds. The Dodgers had a meeting after
the game on Monday, and Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman,
the King of the Nerds, they got together Mookie Bets,
and so the chatter was the Dodgers are preparing to
move Mookie Bets back to the outfield, the old Red
(10:17):
Sox and go back to the outfield. So Dave Roberts
says he is not not moving Mookie Bets from shortstop,
even though the Los Angeles Dodgers outfield play has been
a white hot tire fire. So the question that must
be asked is why not? Why would you not make
(10:37):
that happen? So I have a theory on this. The
reason the Dodgers are refusing to do the thing they
should do, and they don't want to do it at
the time they should do it. It's a Winnie the
Pooh situation. The Dodgers are like e Or in winning
the put right. They're stubborn donkeys, is what they are.
(11:00):
That's what they are. They don't want to admit they
screwed this thing up, and that's all this is. That's
all this is. It's organizational arrogance or a word that I've.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Used a lot recently.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I know Paul and Ottawa likes hubers. It's that they
cowtop like Mookie wanted to play shortstop because it's more
fun to play shortstop than is in the outfield. So
Mookie wanted to play shortstop. The Dodgers moved Mookie Bets
to shortstop this year and it made them look smart
and they were getting pats on the back at a
(11:34):
Boys from other baseball teams and the baseball media like, oh,
they were great, and so.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Now they're like now they're they're pot committed. I mean
they're in. Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
You know, Mookie Bets has not only been a shortstop,
he's been a jazz just a shortstop, jas just a shortstop.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
And he has been when he's.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Played outfield with him and going back to his Red
Sox days and at times he's been in the for
the Dodgers, he's been an elite outfielder, elite right fielder.
And so we're at the point now if they pull
the plug the Dodgers now they would be admitting that
the media and even worse, the customers have been right
all along.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
You cannot do that, cannot do it, can't.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
You can't you know you can't, right, So instead they
try to out well, there's injuries, there's other variables and
all that stuff. I know, pour us, we've been ravaged
by injuries. Boo yeah, cube of violins, right, These poor
lost souls, these poor lost souls.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
In Dodger blue. Ridiculous men.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Meanwhile, the outfield defense looking like a like a Friday
night Beer League softball type situation.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Is what it looks like out there.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So you know, I kept hearing about the roster flexibility
and all this great stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Now they're picking up guys that I've never even heard.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
This guy Kennedy on the Dodgers, who played with the
Blue Jays and some other teams.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
And where that guy come from? And he's in the
lineup like every day? What happened?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Who?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
So the Dodgers think they're the smartest guys in the room.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Well, they won the World Series.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay, I got it, But I'm just saying on this one,
they would rather double down on stupid with a capital S,
then admit that the fan is right, that the low
information fan got one right, that the media types are right. Anybody,
anybody other than them can't know more about Mookie Bets
(13:37):
cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Typical all right?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Now, speaking of typical, final thought, we go to Arlington, Arlington, Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
All of the Rangers. I'm all doing. Remember when the
Rangers won the World Series a couple of years ago?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
So ed in Arlington, the great edit Arlington is a
radio caller and a diehard Texas Ranger. Apologies, So the Rangers,
and that they are skipping Jacob de Gram. Yeah, the
old guy that used to play for the Mets. They're
they're skipping Jacob de Gram's next start shoulder fatigue out
(14:11):
my aching showder They're saying now they're saying it's not
that big a deal. They're calling it shoulder fatigue, as
I said. And then you know it's not going on
what used to be the.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
D L, but now it's the I L.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And you know, just a little workload management channeling the NBA.
So what's your read? What's your read on this one?
So this is the most Jacob de Gram thing ever.
It's an s OP situation standard operating procedure for Jacob
(14:45):
de Gram. And this is again another example. The Rangers
thought they were buying a Rolls Royce and it was
it is a Rolls Royce, but they bought a Rolls Royce.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
But every time you want to take it out on.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
The highway the interstate, you first have to take it
to the shop and have a mechanic check it out
to make sure the engine won't explode when you get
it out.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
On the interstate.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
And there's a car dealership in southern California that has
a great jingle.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
It's on YouTube. You want to see it's called Toyota
of Orange. It's joke.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You won't get a lemon. That's their jingle, you won't
get a lemon. That's one of the all time great jingles.
I love jingles. They still use it won't get a lemon. Well,
the Rangers got a lemon. Okay, they got a lemon.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
When he's on the mound, de Gram is Picasso. When
he's on the man, he's Rembrand.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
He's van Go on the mound, all rolled into one
like some super art person, you know, super that.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
He's even like Bob Ross. He's like Bob Ross painting
trees on PBS.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
He's that good and he paints these masterpieces. However, he's
always waiting and you're watching him, but you're always waiting.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
He's waiting.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
He's waiting for the power to go out in the
middle of the art exhibit, say, oh, my show the
grom he's got this. Mister potato had been going on
and like you got the elbow from here, you got
the shoulders over. There's an issue with the show. You
get the hip before mister potato Head doesn't have shoulders.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Okay, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I'm just saying they just slapped all these body parts
of mister Potato, and I'm not saying missus Potato, and
I'm saying mister Potato. They just put them all back
to coming. Now it's a scissors and pace situation.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
At this point. It's he's scissor and pass. Get little glue.
I liked Elmer's glue. You can like other glue, and
you put it all together in a little duct tape.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
And get a pocket knife and you're like this old
show called Macguiver back in the day.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
And then then that's all you need.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And uh, another way to describe it is Jacob de
Gram at this point is like those old really cool
action figures you might had when you were a kid,
back when people played with stuff other than like their phones.
You know, these action figures and stuff, and the the
arms don't stay on. You know you have that problem.
You play with the action figures, like the arms won't
(17:12):
stay on, and then you snap them back into the
action figure and they're really awesome, and then five minutes
later they.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Fall out and you're like, oh crap. You know that's
the grum.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
He's an action figure that the arm falls off and
you put it back on. He's good for five minutes
and then it falls off again. It's ultimate tease, and
it's like that shiny toy that got for Christmas or
HONEK or whatever, and you wanted it your entire childhood,
and you you rip the box open, you tear off
the wrapping paper, you rip the box up, you're so excited.
(17:44):
Works perfectly for an hour, and then you're like, oh man,
the batteries they're not working, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I need some new batteries.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And you're like, hey, mom, I need some new BA
I need some double A batteries, Bob.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
And your mom said, well, we'll.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, yeah, you aren't far away. I was going to
follow eenie meenie miney mo.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Let's say hello to Let's go to Greg, who's in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
What's going on? Greg? Welcome? Welcome?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
If I if I was any better, i'd be sleeping
because I'd be doing like a daytime show and be
making you know, a lot money and all that. But no,
and I'm happy. I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
What's going on? How can we help you? Greg?
Speaker 9 (25:29):
I've had to call in about your take on the
Mookie Bets in the shortstop situation. Yeah, yeah, I thought
you were way off.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Do you work for the Dodgers?
Speaker 9 (25:41):
No, I don't. I mean Anneapolis.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Are you? Are you related to Mookie Bets?
Speaker 9 (25:46):
No, it's just he's like second in the end now
in defensive rating.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Okay, congratulations, I actually watched the games. He's not very good.
Speaker 9 (25:59):
Okay, well, just in comparison to other shortstops he is good.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Uh so we can we can disagree.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
So you're just going it off. You went on like, uh,
you went off the nerds. Stat is what you're going
off the nerds, dad, which is fine. I mean, you
do what you are on a baseball savant. You looked
up some numbers and you called it and you're like,
you're wrong. Oh I looked at baseball savant and you're
not baseball savant.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Okay, and I know, I admit I'm not. I'm not
baseball savon. I admitted no, neither.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
The Dodgers would be a better baseball team with Mookie
Bets and right field.
Speaker 9 (26:35):
They would be like that's basically thing to tell Derek
Jeter if the Yankees had a problem to move him
to the outfield.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Well, there was a Jared Jeter.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Derek Jude was a terrible shortstop, and you're gonna tell
me he was good because again you're gonna go by
the numbers, and that's fine. He was a terrible shortstop.
He should have moved a Rod should have played shortstop
when he came over there. It was embarrassing that Jeter
stated shortstop. He actually the Yankees would have won more
championships Jeter had moved out of shortstop.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
He was a trash. Yeah it was not good.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
They were pretty close.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
But okay, see you you love you know.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
The point is, you know you believe because baseball Somemon said,
Mookie Betts is a good shortstop, so leave him at shortstop.
Speaker 9 (27:14):
Well that's the idea is to get like a good fielding,
good hitting shortstop, and then you haven't advantage.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Of Mookie Bets has been a terrible hitter, and many
people believe it's because he's trying to play shortstop. That
that's what he's been. He's he's a shell of what
he has been. Yeah that I guys, listen, we just
but I appreciate you calling up and sparring with me.
I thank you for that.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I do.
Speaker 9 (27:36):
I appreciate the effort.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, yeah, all right, thank you. George. By George, he's

and Sino Man.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Yeah, I had a seen.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah I haven't. That's before your time, Lorena. For you,
it's with Brendan Fraser.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
I love Brendan Fraser.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
You should watch It's a mom Yeah, there's a lot
of ambient noise, George. I'm hearing a lot of noise
in the background. What's going on with you?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
There's these trucks going by him on the freeway.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Okay, you want to roll the window up there?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
The windows have been anyway, So my I echo Minnesota
guy actually went to school in Minnesota, but I don't
know the young man that called before. Uh, looky is
happy yet? Short stop? The Dodgers like happy players, and
that's why they gave him the shot. He worked really,
really hard, and then at the beginning of the season,
(28:46):
you might recall that he had a mystery gastro intestinal
illness and they didn't know if he was going to play,
and then they figured him out, and so he should
have been getting back back to himself and it's been
you know, fits and starts like it is in the
baseball season. Then he's gonna be just fine. And the
(29:09):
Dodgers are gonna win the championship again, and maybe he'll
be happy and maybe.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All okay, George.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
So I would argue that you could pay you could
put Mookie bets anywhere and he'd be happy. They're paying
him three hundred and sixty five million dollars, Like why
would you not be happy? I like the whole argument.
You imagine telling your boss I don't want to do
that extra assignment because I wouldn't be happy, Like who would?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
How does that work? Like I don't in the real world.
I don't understand how that works.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Well, he's one of their most important pieces, and he
and the management decided that the series is going to
be short stop and he works, you know all.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I know, but you don't understand that, like for people
that have like real lives and live in the real way,
And it's a ridiculous statement to make. I should tell
my boss, you people work overnight die younger, that I'm
losing time on my life and I would be happier
if I did a midday show. And so therefore I do,
I mean, don't you want me happy as a talk
(30:13):
show host? I should be working during the day. I'd
make more money, and I would live longer. And why
am I doing overnights? Aren't I important to the company?
According to him, is like woll mookie bets would be happier,
and you want happy people. I'd be a happier employee.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So I don't understand. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (30:34):
We must take everyone into consideration.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Clearly, I listen, I was. I was not raised that way.
Clearly I was. My parents were wrong. But that's just fine.
You know, things happen, all right.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Let's see who do we have here? Any meany money?
Do we have a game show contest? Do we not know?

You won this game the greatest moment in show history
in a game show fastest me.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I was not on this street man, and I'm not
a creet man.
Speaker 2 (31:35):

great moments in the history of radio that should have
gotten more publicity. Should have gotten more publicity.
Speaker 10 (31:47):

eight pitchers reached that mark. Is that too much or
not enough? Uh, let's find out. Hey, look at that James.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
You well you won. You want me to keep going?
I'll keep going.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
You want to win another one? Okay, here we go.
Question number four for Bryce Hart He already won. But
question for Bryce Harper is twenty of home run in
the season earlier this week. It is his tenth career
season with twenty or more home runs. Is that too
much or not enough? Oh my god, that's right again.
Holy crap, it's his eleven. No, there's no way you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Get this last one.
Speaker 2 (33:54):

you give them another one. There were twenty by the way,
that was his eleven. He's in eating twenty one more,
Bryce Harper. Question number five for hollering James trying to
run the board. That means we have to call the game.
The hollering James. I know he's about to die, but
he's he's on his deathbed.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
All that.
Speaker 2 (34:13):

five hundred yards last season to sweep the board, James
