Speaker 1 (00:00):
Playball. It's Our Dumber three, our three of the podcast
from Viva Las Vegas for the Big Malard Meet and
greet coming up tomorrow. We get the fifth hour podcast today,
tomorrow and Sunday. But here in hour number three of
the original Recipe podcast, as Alf and of course Fergdog know,
(00:20):
how do you dissect Juan Soto's confidence in the crumbling
Mets as they lost again the Mets falling apart? Also,
what does Craig Kimberl's signing with the cheating Asstros signify
to you? He's been washed up for at least three years?
(00:41):
And what does Spencer Strider's being skipped from the Braves
rotation indicate to you as well? We'll go down that road.
The prodigy from Atlanta's pitching staff no longer, no longer
a prodigy and all that coming your way right now.
It's our number three, the met regret. What's that about?
(01:03):
We'll get to it. Welcome in the beginning of another.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
We are in the air everywhere inhabitants as we enter
a hairy situation coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and nutritiously powerful microphones of fs
are amminating live.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
From the headquarters. We are the Hot Take headquarters as.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
We are at the Fox Sports Radio studios at a
secret location in Las Vegas. Yeah, Viva Las Vegas. Here
for the big Mallard meet and meet coming up tomorrow.
We're here a little early. Fridaddy knows about that. Fridaddy's excited.
He's like, I'm not going, but I'm excited. I said,
thanks Friydaddy. Appreciate that. Appreciate that a lot. This portion
of the show made possible in part by our friends
(01:53):

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Come coming up later this hour, we will have big
bens Lame Jokes of the week.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh my god, they're back.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Not a lot of volume this week. I've been away
for the last couple weeks. Well, we got some good
jokes and so we'll see if more come trickling in
this hour. We'll also have the malor Riddle of the
Day that'll be coming up a little bit later in
the hour, but I lead this hour is from baseball
because if I do another Micah Parson's monologue, I am
going to bang my head against the wall until I
(02:40):
start bleeding. So I'm not going to be doing that.
But I lead this hour from New York, Well, New
York at Jason.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
The Mets on the road.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But the most expensive roster in the major leagues is
not the Dodgers. It's not the Yankees. No, no, no, it's
the New York Metropolitans, and they are in stranger danger
of missing the postseason, embarrassing capitally so after dropping a
series to the lowly Nationals, who showed some rare natitude.
(03:12):
I know Rick in Maryland more than time, and the
Austro Janet very excited about their Nationals, unless they don't
watch Nationals games even though they live in that area.
So the floundering Mets, that's a good story. Big money team,
big star players, and they suck. That's good talk radio.
The Mets are bleeding, right, The Mets a bleeding and
(03:34):
the big pickup outfielder One Soto. He was asked about
the Heela monster in the room, and he answered some questions.
I don't know if you heard what he had to
say or not.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Maybe not so.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Wan Soto said that the Mets players quote, believe in
each other. He said, Now, it's odd that he said
that because the Mets have lost sixteen of their last
twenty one games. That does not sound like a team
that believes in each other. And more on that in
a minute. Soto went on to say that he is
(04:06):
a true believer that the Mets are quote one hundred.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Percent a playoff team.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
He said, since day one, this is a quote, since
day one, we believe in each other and we believe
we can make it to the playoffs. Soto said, We've
just got to play better. We've got to play better
as a team and try to win some games. Now
they lead Cincinnati. I believe I have the numbers right
on that. I did some malord math. I think they're
(04:32):
up by a half game, which is odd because Justin
in Cincinnati and just Josh, they stop watching the Reds
about four months ago. About four months ago, and Dick
and Dayton's more of a Cleveland Indians fan. He doesn't
know they changed the name of the Guardians. So anyway,
the Reds are lurking right they're lurking and the Mets
are really in some danger here of not making the playoffs.
(04:54):
So let us discuss the question for the esteem panel,
which you are part of. How do you dissect Juan
Soto's confidence in the crumbling Mets. So my take on this,
I've got garage band bass pro shops given birth as well.
We'll go for all that out there, All right, all
that out there. We're gonna make some fried cheese kurts. Yeah,
(05:16):
we're gonna make some fried cheese skirts. So to lead
off here, can someone please in the back of the
room explain to me what planet Juan Soto is living on.
Is he in the Milky Way galaxy? Is he far
far out in the Cosmos somewhere? Because where I live,
and you know who knows, maybe I'm wrong, but where
(05:36):
I'm living, the New York Mets are not only a
baseball team, they are a garage band. And they're doing
a cover of Tom Petty's free Falling Free Fun. How
bad is it? Well, for those that weren't paying attention,
the Mets over their last twenty one games have somehow
managed to only win five of them. They're five and sixteen.
(06:00):
Is a grease fire, and he's out here saying, well,
you know they believe in each other at all. Let
me tell you a funny story, all right. So when
I I don't know if it's funny or not. When
I was a young lad and I got assigned to
cover I was working for the station, the mighty sixth
ninety big sports station in San Diego, don't thin exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I think they played LaVita Loca from Baja California.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
But anyway, I worked there when I was a young
young kid in radio and they assigned me to cover
the LA sports scene as a radio reporter, which they
don't even have that anymore, so that job has been discontinued.
So I went out there. I was doing the thing
and whatever, fine, you know, and the Clippers. I covered
the clips of the Lakers, all the teams in LA,
(06:43):
and I was around the Clippers, and they won. I
think it was seventeen games one of the years I
was out there. They I know, they won less than that.
There was a workstopage season they won less than There
were some terrible teams, but there was one period of
time they had these young lads, ad Quentin Richardson, Darius Miles,
and these guys loved each other. They believed in each other.
(07:08):
They hung out together. They were all around the same age.
They went out, you know, they went the same restaurants,
same bars, and chased the same women, all that stuff, right,
the same same circle.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And they.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Blew. They were so bad at basketball, but they believe
in each other. So just because you believe in each other,
that works in a Disney movie. You know, if you
watch ted Lasso, that works there. You know that works
pretty good there. But I get the whole rob Rot thing.
The numbers don't lie. The team e er a. If
you look up the Mets team e R here in August,
(07:45):
it's an obscenity. It's it's illegal. Below the Mason Dixon line.
They're bottom five. I believe in run differential. I think
I read that right. Since the All Star Break, their
defense is spotty. It's like watching a bunch of guys
who think the baseball is a live hand grenade and
they don't want to touch it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
They want nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And so the whole belief is like, well, you know,
it doesn't really fix it. Just because you believe it, it
doesn't fix it. And so one Soto. He sounds like
that the guy you know, we're doing the show from Vegas.
It's like the guy at the blackjack table, who's I'm
sure I'll see this at some point this week, is
down there seven hundred dollars, just you know, getting it
(08:23):
handed to him, just getting absolutely handed to him at
the blackjack table. It's just not going well at all.
And that same guy's like, no, I got a system.
Don't worry. I got a system, and so I'm get
my money back. And that's the guy you see down
near the plaza at the Greyhound station. That's the guy
you see down there at the Greyhound station leaving just
(08:44):
with enough money to get out of town on the
one way ticket out of town. That's that guy. It's like, buddy,
you don't have a system. You got a problem.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It's not going well for you anyways.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The Mets, it's watching this play out and every Mets fans, well,
it's just a Mets, you know. That's what the because
the Mets and the Jets fans of the one and
the same. But it's like this voodoo bugaloo the Mets
have where they're literally since the All Star break, they're
spontaneously combusting on a nightly basis there, which is which is.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I'm not a Mets fan, but I have met fan
friends and it's good to watching the team just fall apart.
All right. Now, furthermore, I read this guy Jackson called
up from from Seattle, very annoying. He's the leader of
the cal Raleigh Marching and Chowder Society. Anyway, he called up.
He's all excited because the Mariners are bird dogging and
the cheating Astros. So the cheating Astros have added the
(09:40):
washed up corpse of relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel. Do you
see this? They agree to a major league contract. In fact,
we are told Kimberle is going to join the cheating
baseball team today on this Friday. Houston is selling this
as a added edition, a fresh arm to their bullpen,
(10:01):
and they're trying to again hold off the Seattle Mariners
and cal Riley in the American League West, trying to
make sure.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
That that works out.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
So what does Craig Kimbrel, What does his signing with
the Asstros signify to you? So this is another story
I love, all right, This is another one that I'm
very happy about because the Houston pitching staff is literally
like the Mets. They're falling apart right, The things are
(10:29):
breaking and they can't put in the glasses shattered, and
you just added to fix your bullpen.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Let me check my notes here, atomic waste.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You know, there's a saying in sports, don't let a
falling star fall on you, And it is proven that
this guy is contaminated, and yet you're back. You signed him.
If Craig Kimbrel, who at one point was an amazing
closer for the Atlanta Braves, if he were a horse,
of course he would be El's glue. By now, I
(11:01):
don't little use horses anymore. Whatever some glue company that
uses horse. Now, what is my evidence? Since signing with
the Dodgers, the team that I follow back in twenty
twenty three and regularly riding the vomit comic, Craig Kimberl
has an ERA of four. You realize, if you're a
relief pitcher and you pitch one inning a game and
(11:23):
you have an ERA at four, they're really bad at
your job. That is nearly twice what his ERA was
his first dozen seasons, mostly with the Atlanta Braves, And
so the parade has passed him by, but nobody.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Nobody apparently told the.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Asstro So my advice, My advice is to go down
to bass pro shops. They're everywhere and find the is it.
I don't think it's the Fernando to tease endorse, but
you know there's the Padre Endors. I don't know, there's
some ringworm medication. They have their bass pro shops and
it's a really he'll he'll help you at home runs
or make an appointment to it that it was a
(12:00):
doctor Tony Bosch there at the Biogenesis clinic, if you
know what I mean, Yeah, sure, why not. And the
velocities that Craig kimberrel his fastball velocity I read this
the other day, is down by almost five miles an
hour this season from a couple of years ago. All right,
last thing to Atlanta we go. Craig Kimberle's old team,
(12:23):
the Atlanta Braves, the Atlanta Brains, and former Braves Ace
Spencer Strider has been pulled from the rotation. Out of there.
Strider will not make his next start. Now. I was
supposed to pitch this weekend against the New York Metropolitans,
but Atlanta has removed him for now. There's no word
(12:43):
on whether or not he's going to go back to
the rotation they have reconfigured, which is another.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Way of saying, well, we're just gonna have him skip
the start.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
It's not a demotion, but this is supposed to be
one of their great core players. So what does spendin
Strider being skipped from the Bravest rotation indicate to you?
What indicates to me that the Atlanta Braves have a
Spencer Strider problem, that his career is at a crossroads.
(13:12):
Nobody wants to talk about it, but he's at a
forking road. Stryder, he's only twenty six. He's got a
birthday coming up, so he's almost twenty seven. But Strider
is coming back from Tommy John surgery. And I've had
the real Tommy John on my podcast. He lives in
Palm Springs now, he's retired. When you're retired, you moved
to Palm Springs if you're from the West Coast, or
you moved to Florida if you're in the west on
the East coast. Anyway, Tommy John, the operation is never good.
(13:37):
And as a result of his performance on the Mount
Spencer Strider has fallen out of the bubble of trust.
He's out of the bubble of trust right now, and
it is a slow road to misery. His era since
the beginning of August is over fifteen and he said,
I read this quote the other day. He says, I
(13:58):
can't compete in the strike zone right now. As a result,
the Braves have been given the ultimate. You talk about
giving birth, they gave birth to an albatross, is what
they've done here. Spencer Strider was expected to be Max
Fried's successor. Remember Max Free went to the New York Yankees,
played well for too much. Now Max Fried sucks. But
(14:18):
Stryder was supposed to be the ace of the Braves
pitching staff for this foreseeable future. Like Darling, he was
on all these you know, Internet people loved him, the
social media of them and the Braves. They were convinced
that this guy was real. They wasted no time. They
extended Spencer Strider after just one season, just one season
(14:40):
in the big leagues. They gave him a six year
contract for seventy five million. H oh yeah, Spencer Strider.
I looked it up. He is still loaded. If my
math is right, I used Maler math. I used Maler math.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
So that's close.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So I believe Spencer Strider is owed sixty four million
over the next three seasons. And he just got taken
out of the Braves rotation and said, oh, by the way,
I can't compete in the strike zone. Yikes. So the
Braves bet, they bet big. They've done a lot of
this with these players, say oh, this guy's gonna be good,
bet on him, bet a lot of money. And right
(15:15):
now that is not working out so good, not working
out so good. So yeah, not not great. Sometimes what's
Sometimes you're the dog, sometimes you're the hydrant. It kind
of works both ways on that. Anyway, it is the

Rabel said. Now I'm old enough to have done this
(24:30):
job a long time. Where I remember years ago, back
many many years ago, there were there was a big controversy.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
There were two people.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
One of them was an NF he became an NFL
quarter it's got him, Kid McNown and he got dinged
parking in handicap parking. And there was another player, This guy,
I think it was Andrew Binam played with the Lakers.
He also got in trouble for handicapped parking. But have
been too many of those stories recently? Have not been
too many those stories recently. Anyway, That is the answer
to the Mallard riddle of the day. And let's get

Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's hello? Scott. Are you there blind Scott?
Speaker 7 (29:07):
Yeah, yeah, Hey, I'm Charlie. I actually was a big
hockey player when I was younger. I was actually the
manager of my high school hockey team when I was
about your age for like three years, and then I
played on var City for four years and I was
legally blind. But Charlie, I am very sorry about your uncle.
That really breaks my heart. Actually I lost my dog
(29:28):
in December, and we lost a couple of listeners recently,
Matt the Warriors fan. We lost him and this other guy.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Mickey mass Ole mass Ol Mickey mass Mickey yeah, and
Callagan Tim and Michigan was another big show contributor.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
He passed away, you know.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah, So Charlie, let me describe to the grieving process.
It's five stages. The first one is denial. When your
uncle died, you couldn't believe it, you know. Then you
go into a grieving period, which is very upsetting. But
then you go into an acceptance period where you just
watch hockey videos on YouTube all night long, you know. Reality.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, yeah, well the cool thing, Charlie, and I know,
how well are you gonna show your hell? Are you.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Fourteen?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah? Yeah, I remember when I was around your age,
I started losing relatives and it's, uh, it sucks. But
the cool thing is you're so young, you're going to
live a long life and you'll be able to honor
your uncle with a with a good life. Right, so
that's a cool thing.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
Hey wait, let me take that psa time right here. Hey, listen, Charlie,
here's another thing. I grew up during the opioid epidemic
in the year two thousands. Most most kids I went
to high school with aren't alive anymore. They've gotten poisoned
by the opioid epidemic. Arcsy, cotton, fentanyl, heroine. Don't ever
do drugs, Charlie. Don't ever do drugs. You're gonna end
(30:48):
up like somebody well.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
You don't know, you might end up like jet Hu fled.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
You know, you don't do drug thirty six pills in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That's James, that's hollowd you.

Day that'll be coming up a little bit later in

because if I do another Micah Parson's monologue, I am
going to bang my head against the wall until I
(02:40):
start bleeding. So I'm not going to be doing that.
But I lead this hour from New York, Well, New
York at Jason.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
The Mets on the road.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But the most expensive roster in the major leagues is
not the Dodgers. It's not the Yankees. No, no, no, it's
the New York Metropolitans, and they are in stranger danger
of missing the postseason, embarrassing capitally so after dropping a
series to the lowly Nationals, who showed some rare natitude.
(03:12):
I know Rick in Maryland more than time, and the
Austro Janet very excited about their Nationals, unless they don't
watch Nationals games even though they live in that area.
So the floundering Mets, that's a good story. Big money team,
big star players, and they suck. That's good talk radio.
The Mets are bleeding, right, The Mets a bleeding and
(03:34):
the big pickup outfielder One Soto. He was asked about
the Heela monster in the room, and he answered some questions.
I don't know if you heard what he had to
say or not.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Maybe not so.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Wan Soto said that the Mets players quote, believe in
each other. He said, Now, it's odd that he said
that because the Mets have lost sixteen of their last
twenty one games. That does not sound like a team
that believes in each other. And more on that in
a minute. Soto went on to say that he is
(04:06):
a true believer that the Mets are quote one hundred.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Percent a playoff team.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
He said, since day one, this is a quote, since
day one, we believe in each other and we believe
we can make it to the playoffs. Soto said, We've
just got to play better. We've got to play better
as a team and try to win some games. Now
they lead Cincinnati. I believe I have the numbers right
on that. I did some malord math. I think they're
(04:32):
up by a half game, which is odd because Justin
in Cincinnati and just Josh, they stop watching the Reds
about four months ago. About four months ago, and Dick
and Dayton's more of a Cleveland Indians fan. He doesn't
know they changed the name of the Guardians. So anyway,
the Reds are lurking right they're lurking and the Mets
are really in some danger here of not making the playoffs.
(04:54):
So let us discuss the question for the esteem panel,
which you are part of. How do you dissect Juan
Soto's confidence in the crumbling Mets. So my take on this,
I've got garage band bass pro shops given birth as well.
We'll go for all that out there, All right, all
that out there. We're gonna make some fried cheese kurts. Yeah,
(05:16):
we're gonna make some fried cheese skirts. So to lead
off here, can someone please in the back of the
room explain to me what planet Juan Soto is living on.
Is he in the Milky Way galaxy? Is he far
far out in the Cosmos somewhere? Because where I live,
and you know who knows, maybe I'm wrong, but where
(05:36):
I'm living, the New York Mets are not only a
baseball team, they are a garage band. And they're doing
a cover of Tom Petty's free Falling Free Fun. How
bad is it? Well, for those that weren't paying attention,
the Mets over their last twenty one games have somehow
managed to only win five of them. They're five and sixteen.
(06:00):
Is a grease fire, and he's out here saying, well,
you know they believe in each other at all. Let
me tell you a funny story, all right. So when
I I don't know if it's funny or not. When
I was a young lad and I got assigned to
cover I was working for the station, the mighty sixth
ninety big sports station in San Diego, don't thin exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I think they played LaVita Loca from Baja California.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
But anyway, I worked there when I was a young
young kid in radio and they assigned me to cover
the LA sports scene as a radio reporter, which they
don't even have that anymore, so that job has been discontinued.
So I went out there. I was doing the thing
and whatever, fine, you know, and the Clippers. I covered
the clips of the Lakers, all the teams in LA,
(06:43):
and I was around the Clippers, and they won. I
think it was seventeen games one of the years I
was out there. They I know, they won less than that.
There was a workstopage season they won less than There
were some terrible teams, but there was one period of
time they had these young lads, ad Quentin Richardson, Darius Miles,
and these guys loved each other. They believed in each other.
(07:08):
They hung out together. They were all around the same age.
They went out, you know, they went the same restaurants,
same bars, and chased the same women, all that stuff, right,
the same same circle.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And they.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Blew. They were so bad at basketball, but they believe
in each other. So just because you believe in each other,
that works in a Disney movie. You know, if you
watch ted Lasso, that works there. You know that works
pretty good there. But I get the whole rob Rot thing.
The numbers don't lie. The team e er a. If
you look up the Mets team e R here in August,
(07:45):
it's an obscenity. It's it's illegal. Below the Mason Dixon line.
They're bottom five. I believe in run differential. I think
I read that right. Since the All Star Break, their
defense is spotty. It's like watching a bunch of guys
who think the baseball is a live hand grenade and
they don't want to touch it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
They want nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And so the whole belief is like, well, you know,
it doesn't really fix it. Just because you believe it, it
doesn't fix it. And so one Soto. He sounds like
that the guy you know, we're doing the show from Vegas.
It's like the guy at the blackjack table, who's I'm
sure I'll see this at some point this week, is
down there seven hundred dollars, just you know, getting it
(08:23):
handed to him, just getting absolutely handed to him at
the blackjack table. It's just not going well at all.
And that same guy's like, no, I got a system.
Don't worry. I got a system, and so I'm get
my money back. And that's the guy you see down
near the plaza at the Greyhound station. That's the guy
you see down there at the Greyhound station leaving just
(08:44):
with enough money to get out of town on the
one way ticket out of town. That's that guy. It's like, buddy,
you don't have a system. You got a problem.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It's not going well for you anyways.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
The Mets, it's watching this play out and every Mets fans, well,
it's just a Mets, you know. That's what the because
the Mets and the Jets fans of the one and
the same. But it's like this voodoo bugaloo the Mets
have where they're literally since the All Star break, they're
spontaneously combusting on a nightly basis there, which is which is.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I'm not a Mets fan, but I have met fan
friends and it's good to watching the team just fall apart.
All right. Now, furthermore, I read this guy Jackson called
up from from Seattle, very annoying. He's the leader of
the cal Raleigh Marching and Chowder Society. Anyway, he called up.
He's all excited because the Mariners are bird dogging and
the cheating Astros. So the cheating Astros have added the
(09:40):
washed up corpse of relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel. Do you
see this? They agree to a major league contract. In fact,
we are told Kimberle is going to join the cheating
baseball team today on this Friday. Houston is selling this
as a added edition, a fresh arm to their bullpen,
(10:01):
and they're trying to again hold off the Seattle Mariners
and cal Riley in the American League West, trying to
make sure.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
That that works out.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
So what does Craig Kimbrel, What does his signing with
the Asstros signify to you? So this is another story
I love, all right, This is another one that I'm
very happy about because the Houston pitching staff is literally
like the Mets. They're falling apart right, The things are
(10:29):
breaking and they can't put in the glasses shattered, and
you just added to fix your bullpen.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Let me check my notes here, atomic waste.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You know, there's a saying in sports, don't let a
falling star fall on you, And it is proven that
this guy is contaminated, and yet you're back. You signed him.
If Craig Kimbrel, who at one point was an amazing
closer for the Atlanta Braves, if he were a horse,
of course he would be El's glue. By now, I
(11:01):
don't little use horses anymore. Whatever some glue company that
uses horse. Now, what is my evidence? Since signing with
the Dodgers, the team that I follow back in twenty
twenty three and regularly riding the vomit comic, Craig Kimberl
has an ERA of four. You realize, if you're a
relief pitcher and you pitch one inning a game and
(11:23):
you have an ERA at four, they're really bad at
your job. That is nearly twice what his ERA was
his first dozen seasons, mostly with the Atlanta Braves, And
so the parade has passed him by, but nobody.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Nobody apparently told the.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Asstro So my advice, My advice is to go down
to bass pro shops. They're everywhere and find the is it.
I don't think it's the Fernando to tease endorse, but
you know there's the Padre Endors. I don't know, there's
some ringworm medication. They have their bass pro shops and
it's a really he'll he'll help you at home runs
or make an appointment to it that it was a
(12:00):
doctor Tony Bosch there at the Biogenesis clinic, if you
know what I mean, Yeah, sure, why not. And the
velocities that Craig kimberrel his fastball velocity I read this
the other day, is down by almost five miles an
hour this season from a couple of years ago. All right,
last thing to Atlanta we go. Craig Kimberle's old team,
(12:23):
the Atlanta Braves, the Atlanta Brains, and former Braves Ace
Spencer Strider has been pulled from the rotation. Out of there.
Strider will not make his next start. Now. I was
supposed to pitch this weekend against the New York Metropolitans,
but Atlanta has removed him for now. There's no word
(12:43):
on whether or not he's going to go back to
the rotation they have reconfigured, which is another.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Way of saying, well, we're just gonna have him skip
the start.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
It's not a demotion, but this is supposed to be
one of their great core players. So what does spendin
Strider being skipped from the Bravest rotation indicate to you?
What indicates to me that the Atlanta Braves have a
Spencer Strider problem, that his career is at a crossroads.
(13:12):
Nobody wants to talk about it, but he's at a
forking road. Stryder, he's only twenty six. He's got a
birthday coming up, so he's almost twenty seven. But Strider
is coming back from Tommy John surgery. And I've had
the real Tommy John on my podcast. He lives in
Palm Springs now, he's retired. When you're retired, you moved
to Palm Springs if you're from the West Coast, or
you moved to Florida if you're in the west on
the East coast. Anyway, Tommy John, the operation is never good.
(13:37):
And as a result of his performance on the Mount
Spencer Strider has fallen out of the bubble of trust.
He's out of the bubble of trust right now, and
it is a slow road to misery. His era since
the beginning of August is over fifteen and he said,
I read this quote the other day. He says, I
(13:58):
can't compete in the strike zone right now. As a result,
the Braves have been given the ultimate. You talk about
giving birth, they gave birth to an albatross, is what
they've done here. Spencer Strider was expected to be Max
Fried's successor. Remember Max Free went to the New York Yankees,
played well for too much. Now Max Fried sucks. But
(14:18):
Stryder was supposed to be the ace of the Braves
pitching staff for this foreseeable future. Like Darling, he was
on all these you know, Internet people loved him, the
social media of them and the Braves. They were convinced
that this guy was real. They wasted no time. They
extended Spencer Strider after just one season, just one season
(14:40):
in the big leagues. They gave him a six year
contract for seventy five million. H oh yeah, Spencer Strider.
I looked it up. He is still loaded. If my
math is right, I used Maler math. I used Maler math.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
So that's close.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
So I believe Spencer Strider is owed sixty four million
over the next three seasons. And he just got taken
out of the Braves rotation and said, oh, by the way,
I can't compete in the strike zone. Yikes. So the
Braves bet, they bet big. They've done a lot of
this with these players, say oh, this guy's gonna be good,
bet on him, bet a lot of money. And right
(15:15):
now that is not working out so good, not working
out so good. So yeah, not not great. Sometimes what's
Sometimes you're the dog, sometimes you're the hydrant. It kind
of works both ways on that. Anyway, it is the

Rabel said. Now I'm old enough to have done this
(24:30):
job a long time. Where I remember years ago, back
many many years ago, there were there was a big controversy.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
There were two people.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
One of them was an NF he became an NFL
quarter it's got him, Kid McNown and he got dinged
parking in handicap parking. And there was another player, This guy,
I think it was Andrew Binam played with the Lakers.
He also got in trouble for handicapped parking. But have
been too many of those stories recently? Have not been
too many those stories recently. Anyway, That is the answer

That's hello? Scott. Are you there blind Scott?
Speaker 7 (29:07):
Yeah, yeah, Hey, I'm Charlie. I actually was a big
hockey player when I was younger. I was actually the
manager of my high school hockey team when I was
about your age for like three years, and then I
played on var City for four years and I was
legally blind. But Charlie, I am very sorry about your uncle.
That really breaks my heart. Actually I lost my dog
(29:28):
in December, and we lost a couple of listeners recently,
Matt the Warriors fan. We lost him and this other guy.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Mickey mass Ole mass Ol Mickey mass Mickey yeah, and
Callagan Tim and Michigan was another big show contributor.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
He passed away, you know.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah, So Charlie, let me describe to the grieving process.
It's five stages. The first one is denial. When your
uncle died, you couldn't believe it, you know. Then you
go into a grieving period, which is very upsetting. But
then you go into an acceptance period where you just
watch hockey videos on YouTube all night long, you know. Reality.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yeah, yeah, well the cool thing, Charlie, and I know,
how well are you gonna show your hell? Are you.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Fourteen?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah? Yeah, I remember when I was around your age,
I started losing relatives and it's, uh, it sucks. But
the cool thing is you're so young, you're going to
live a long life and you'll be able to honor
your uncle with a with a good life. Right, so
that's a cool thing.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
Hey wait, let me take that psa time right here. Hey, listen, Charlie,
here's another thing. I grew up during the opioid epidemic
in the year two thousands. Most most kids I went
to high school with aren't alive anymore. They've gotten poisoned
by the opioid epidemic. Arcsy, cotton, fentanyl, heroine. Don't ever
do drugs, Charlie. Don't ever do drugs. You're gonna end
(30:48):
up like somebody well.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
You don't know, you might end up like jet Hu fled.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
You know, you don't do drug thirty six pills in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
