Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our nume birth three, our three ready to go,
and what is your perspective on Pete Alonzo, Pete Alonso
crediting Grimace for the Mets turnaround, buying into the hype. Also,
where does this latest Clayton Kershaw set back leave the

(00:24):
Dodgers as he's been delayed his return to the rotation.
And we'll also jump over to the NBA. And the
only reason I'm doing this story is because of this show.
Scottie Barnes, Scottie Barnes and the Raptors agreeing to a
Twitter twenty five million dollar extension that could grow to
twounded seventy million. How did this happen? We'll talk about

(00:45):
that and more on the original recipe podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Here. It is our number three. It's a purple thing.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Welcome, in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
We are in.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
The air everywhere, just like next Door Neighbors is.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
We are an.

(01:53):
ten thousand, Way to go ten thousand. So our lead
this hour from bayall talking bass ball.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yes, so why not?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
The NHL season came to an end on a lazy,
hazy Monday night, but the baseball season goes on and
on and on and on. Dateline the Big Apple. Some
recent chatter about the Mets flipping the script. They don't
have momentum because there is no such thing, but they
have played well over the last couple of weeks, and

(02:28):
in a recent miked up in game interview, Pete Alonzo
saying that, Hey, the reason that the Mets are where
they are, I'm paraphrasing, is because of a purple character.
A large purple character with four arms, two legs, likes
milkshakes and sodas. That's right, Grimace. We don't even know

(02:52):
what species Grimmace is. It's just a thing. The Mets
famously had Grimace throughout the first pitch and since then
it's been up, up, and away. So I don't know
if you saw this or not. Alonzo said that it
was the Grimace effect. That was his take. Grimace got
us hot. Alonzo said, if we can keep Grimace around

(03:13):
to keep playing good ball, good things are going to happen. Now,
the Metropolitans did not play on Monday. They've won seventh straight.
They had won seventh straight nine of eleven, so they
won nine of eleven, and the Yankees and Mets in
the Subway.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Series will be going on over the.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Next couple of days, and they've all they've been blessed.
The Mets have been blessed by the McDonald and character Grimace.
So let us discuss what is your perspective on the
polar bear petere Alonso crediting Grimace for the Mets turnaround.
So I've got tinker Bell, Pillsbury, and hot tub, three

(03:54):
things that have never been tossed in the same verbiage together,
and yet here we are are tearing up the dance floor. So,
first of all, this is standard baseball.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Fair. It happens in other sports, but it happens more
in baseball.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
You look for a sign. It's like Ace of Bass, right.
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes.
It's one of those type of things, and you're looking
for a sign. You're looking for a sign from the
baseball gods, and the Mets think they got that. The
Grimace effect is it's like the tinker Bell type thing.
I don't know if you've heard the tinker Bell effect, but

(04:32):
under the tinker Bell effect, if enough people believe hard
enough that fairies exist, then gosh garnet, they do.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
They do.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
And if the Mets believe that a giant purple blob
big tubagoo spark their turnaround by throwing the first pitch
out at City Field, then gosh garnet, that's what happened.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Period. Stop. Now to me the more interesting part of
the story.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
And I was unaware of this. Somehow I forgot this.
I'm sure I knew it at some point. But if
you've watched a baseball game over the last couple of years,
the National TV games, they put athletes in the game
on Mike and they'll interview them during the game, you've
probably seen this. If you watch baseball on television, usually

(05:19):
happens on Sunday night, but it happened during the Dodgers
were playing the Yankees a couple weeks back at the
Yankee Stadium and they had Dodger player miked up during
the game.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
And they're doing that kind of thing. But did you
know the rest of the story.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
So Petere Alonso, he was miked up in game interview,
I think more interesting than the fact that he's crediting
Grimace with the Mets turnaround is the payola factor pay
to play. You see, Peter Alonso and every other big
league player that agrees to be miked up and do
those in game interviews is bribed. They get a bribe.

(05:58):
Major League Baseball pays them. The Commissioner's office pays them
ten thousand dollars to do an interview, which is like
a half an inning interview. Ten grand they get, and
all they feel is softball questions for ten thousand dollars,
all right.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Now.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Secondly, we go to La La Land, where the Dodgers
are marching on. Not the greatest Dodger team in recent years,
but they're doing all right and certainly have a wide
cushion in the National League West. But the Dodgers have
shut down. Clayton Kershaw shut it down.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Shut it down.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Now, Clayton Kershaw shut it down rehab lingering shoulder soreness.
We are told Kershaw has not pitched an inning, not
an inning this season because of a mangled, mutilated, surgically
repaired left shoulder. Now an MRI showed that Clayton Kershaw

(06:58):
has no new damage. That's what the Dodgers are saying.
In his throwing shoulder. It is being described as a blip,
blippity blip and not a big deal by Dave Roberts.
I liked him in that spot. Dave Roberts. It's just
a blip. So where does this latest where does this
latest Clayton Kershaw set back leave the Dodgers. So it's

(07:24):
not the big blue wrecking crew. It's back to the blueprints,
is what it is. You gotta go back to the
blueprints because Clayton Kershaw is not walking through that door
anytime soon.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
When he does.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
The Doyers, all right, they need to have the Pillsbury
perspective and they get to look at Kershaw like he's
creamy supreme vanilla frosting. That is an added bonus, but
is not required. You don't need the Pillsbury Creamy Supreme
Vanilla frosting. If you get it that it's a good thing,

(08:00):
but you don't need it. And that's where the Dodgers are.
It's a nice added momus. But Kershaw is thirty six
and can you really trust him?

Speaker 4 (08:07):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
He's not dependable. How was of the game he pitched,
they had a military flyover. By the time the planes
got back to land. After the military flyover, Dodgers and
Diamondbacks game one of the wild Card Round, or the
Divisional Round as it's called. By the time the planes landed,
the Dodgers had been eliminated, and Kershaw puked all over

(08:29):
the mound. And the thing that blows me up about
Kershaw is the Dodgers have absolutely cobbled him. They have
gone out of their way, bent over backwards, to make
him do as little as possible, right, little pub. He's
thirty six years old, Kershaw, and last year the Dodgers,
the last three months of the season, they only had

(08:51):
him pitch on Saturday. They said, he's only going to
pitch on Saturday in game one, first round of the
playoffs we play in. So we just gonna have him
pitch every Saturday. And he went out there and had
dysentery on the mound. Uh just pooped.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
All over in the air, everywhere. It was just ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
All right, final fun we head Now we're gonna pivot away,
bounce pass pro bouncy ball now. I fully admit the
reason why we are talking pro bouncy ball at this
point is because this is a story close to our show.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
It's the only reason I'm bringing this up.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Scottie Barnes, remember him, Scottie Barnes. He's a basketball player
for the Toronto basketball team. He and the Raptors have
agreed to a two hundred and twenty five million dollar
extension that could that's a weasel term, could grow to
two hundred and seventy million. The question how did this happen?

(09:51):
How does a guy like Scottie Barnes end up getting
a contract that could be worth up to two hundred
seventy million dollars. Bars is gonna be old stock, He's
gonna be deface this.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Leap Scotty bar.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yes, that's right there, that's it, Scotty boy. It happened
on our show. Hot Tub Time Machine will jump back
hot Tub time machine. Hundred and sixty eight days ago.
That sound like we're gonna play it again here. One
hundred and sixty eight days ago, Toronto was playing the Lakers.
The officials screwed over the Toronto basketball team. The Lakers

(10:25):
had like twenty three foul shots in the fourth quarter,
some ridiculous thing like that. Anyway, the head coach of
the Toronto basketball team, Darko Ryokovic, came out and.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
He was on fire. He was furious, right.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
He says, if they're not gonna let us win, just
tell us and let us know and all that stuff.
And then he delivered the cherry on top of the
Sunday this rant about Scotty Barnes. Scotty bars is gonna
be old stocked, He's gonna be defacib this leap. Yeah,
So fast forward five months, five months, actually five and

(11:01):
a half months, I like five and a half months.
And was Scottie Barnes an All Star? He did actually
make the All Star team last year, Scottie Barnes wasn't
All Star and ta da. He is now not the
face of the NBA, but he is the face of
the Raptors. He'll be on All the billboards around Toronto
and all the commercials and all the online advertisements.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Scottie Barnes. The thing about this that's fascinating is he
does not move the needle. Am I wrong on that?

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Like Scotty Barnes, fine, young, talented player, whatever, but he's
not a difference maker. He doesn't sell tickets, he doesn't
bring eyeballs to the TV. And yet the raptors so
horny to get a headline star. They're like, well, we're
gonna make this guy headline. Sorry, maybe they will, but
it's much like Trevor Lawrence didn't earn the money. You

(11:52):
could say that Scotty Barnes earn the money more than
Trevor Lawrence, but it's the same situation, Like he's not
a proven commodity. You're speculating, you're playing the speculum machine game.
But Scotty Martins just he won the Canadian lottery. Congratulations.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
See what happens when the wrong team wins? To Andre,
who's in the Commonwealth, Hello Andre.

Speaker 8 (18:10):
Good evening, Ben, It's good to be with you. I
know that we had a game in which you were
disappointed because of your intrinsic belief that a team's momentum.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yes, Ben, I say, is momentum.

Speaker 8 (18:28):
We all saw the Edmonton Oilers. They had it. It
was one one.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Why did they Why did they give it up?

Speaker 8 (18:36):
Because again, the momentum and I hate to use that word.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
There's no such thing as momentum.

Speaker 8 (18:43):
The Florida goalie found his mojo host.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Now, Florida scored first, so they had all the momentum.
Why would they allow Edmonton to tie the game.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
But the fact of the matter is that goalie he
got his mojo back, right to give up eight goals?

Speaker 2 (18:57):
So how come we didn't have his mojo back in
game four, Game five or game six?

Speaker 8 (19:02):
Well? Game four broke it broke his confidence right that
that was a straw right there give us?

Speaker 2 (19:06):
So how did he get his confidence back? See, I
do believe in confidence, but I don't believe in momentum.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Momentum does not exist in sports. It does not.

Speaker 8 (19:14):
Here's what does exist, Ben, I was looking. You've been
very busy. You've been very busy in this last couple
of weeks. And Rob Parker he had a gathering in
which you were a part. You and Rob have a
good connection. Now, this is what I surmised from this.
I didn't know this, but I surmised it from looking
at this gathering, which looked quite festive. Rob Parker stands
six foot four inches. Okay, it's not a small guy, Okay,

(19:36):
But he looks up to one, mister Ben mallin.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
All right, now, the's right. I am the lumberjack in
the medal. I'm the center of the Fox Sports Radio
basketball team.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's damn.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Rob's like the power forward. He's like the small but
I'm not small. For more power forward, I would say
power forward.

Speaker 8 (19:55):
Senter forget it. Ben, You're standing looking eye to eye
with the dano O Charro. Okay, the that could have
signed you to a contract and you could have come
out there and done some enforcing. All right, So we
won't go back to this word because I'm not going
to battle with you about momentum.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
What I will say because you'd lose that argument. Were
you at that You didn't go to the Celtic Parade?
Did you last week? Were you there?

Speaker 9 (20:15):
Well?

Speaker 8 (20:15):
I wouldn't. I'm a low key ashamed, but you know,
maybe in the formative years I would have made it
out there. But by all accounts, beautiful day.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
I don't like.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
I don't like parades either, to be honestly, I'd go
if I was in the parade, but other than that,
like if when the Clippers win the championship, Andre and
me and Clipper Darryl side by side.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
I'll do that one. But that's about it.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
I've seen, I've seen my paride I had to cover
them back in the day.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Is it's always hot. People are uncomfortable.

Speaker 8 (20:43):
But the fact of the matter been why you need
to be there, Okay, because people would spot you a
mile away, you know, being six six sixty seven, you
know what I mean, Just stand out like a mile away.
You wouldn't You wouldn't be able to Ben. You shot
me as a guy. I'm gonna say this in conclusion.
You you don't duck any autographs. Somebody comes up to
Ben Mallen for an autograph, he gets an autograph. You
don't big time anybody.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
No, I'm not big no way. In fact, you go
to the Malaman, Great Andre.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
You fly out to Vegas on August third, and we'll
be there having a fine time in Vegas. All the
information on social media, We'll be hanging out, schmoozing, having
a fine time.

Speaker 8 (21:14):
Dear friend of mine lived in Vegas. So I'm gonna
have to I'm gonna have to start tomorrow. I got
some errands, but they're gonna be pushed aside for me
to do the planning a preparation. But the next time
there's a championship, and by the way, it's probably gonna
be the Clippers with a new arena.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
That's right. You know what, that's a great take by you.
This guy.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Here's a guy that gets it, Eddie Andre and the
Commonwealth gets it wrong.

Speaker 8 (21:34):
I appreciate that you spend bet a mile away and
he's always gonna sign your autograph, right, Malon belitsa or not?

Speaker 1 (21:40):
That's all right, there, he goes Andre.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Let's say hello to Poppy in San Diego. Oh, I
don't know, we'll put our san Diego.

two one thousand holes lead the way with six. The
Atlanta Braves and the Baltimore Oils each have five. Now,
my Dodgers, the Doyers have not one, not two, but
three elbow.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Injuries on their team, and that includes show hey, oh toney.

Speaker 7 (24:54):
If only they limited their pictures, I know.

If only they cut down on how many innings and
how many pitches they threw, magic one hundred pitch thing
atdy very important. The Phillies and the Cubs are the
only teams that do not have any picture with an
elbow injury currently in the big Leagues's only two.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
There's only two that don't have anybody.

Speaker 2 (25:11):

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Well, I need some mather math here. Let me do.
Let me crunch the numbers on this.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
They said there would be no math, So seventy six
and then we divide that by the twenty eight because
the Phillies and Cubs are out, so that means an
average of two point seven pitchers per team. Outside of
the Phillies and Cubs have elbow issues. There are currently
not one, not two, not three, but four Cy Young
winners out with Tommy John surgery, the Beebes, De gram

(25:43):
