Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb birth three, our three,
and we start out talking bays Mall and some major
changes to the spectacle of spectacles, the home run derby
thumbs up or thumbs down? Do you think these MLB
home run derby changes will open the door to more
(00:23):
stars participating? That's said to be why baseball is changing
the rules. Also, what are the odds the Mets are
going to hold on to Pete Alonzo and keep him
there in New York or whether as they trade it
will take a look at that. And the Blue Jays,
Boba Shit and Vladi Guerrero Junior never came close to
getting new contracts. How does that change things as we
(00:46):
inch closer to the trade deadline. We'll talk about all
that and more right now as we burn the overnight
hours away. Here it is our number three, wheeling and
dealing and burning the midnight oil.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Benmahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere, cheek to cheek as
we provide a premium product unless we don't coast the
coast border the order in beyond on the mast and
(01:22):
boisterously powerful microphones of fsre emm neating live from the
salad bars.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
We serve up a word salad all night long. We're
broadcasting live from the Tirak dot com studios tyract dot com.
We'll help you get there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars.
Our friend cowboy John Brad celebrating Canada Day today will
(01:53):
be having ten thousand smiles and drinks and all that.
Tyraq dot com the way tire buying, shoe and headline
this are We're gonna go to baseball. Paul George has
agreed to a contract in basketball with the Sixers. That
story developing overnight here as we did a full mall
of monologue on that earlier and we are awaiting more transactions.
(02:15):
But if you like players moving around, it's a big
time on the calendar for the NBA and a lot
of that moving going on overnight. But we're gonna go
to baseball for a few good minutes. We are closing
in on the All Star break now that we are
into July, the All Star break just a couple weeks away,
and major League baseball we'll be hitting the pause button
(02:36):
and when they hit the pause button. The most anticipated
event of that week off for baseball is being messed with.
They're futzing around with it. We're talking about the Home
Run Derby. If you didn't hear about this, and maybe
you missed it, the rules for the twenty twenty four
Derby have been altered dramatically drama, the human drama of
(03:02):
the home run Derby. Now this is they're taking a
page out of the NBA world a little bit. So
within each player's time round, the hitter will see a
maximum of forty pitches. That's it. That's all forty pitches.
And the NBA they have a maximum number of balls
(03:22):
that you can shoot on the three point contest, So
they're taking a page out of the NBA playbook on that.
Plus they claim it puts a greater importance on the
efficiency between the pitcher for batting practice and the hitter.
So let us discuss this is some other changes as well,
but thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs up or thumbs down?
(03:43):
Do you think these MLB Home Run Derby changes will
open up the competition, the door to more big names participate.
So I've got preexisting projection models and subterfuge, and we
(04:03):
will combine all of these things together, and we were
going to make nachos with that OUI gooey neon orange
cheese on top. So, first of all, the answer to
the question thumbs up and thumbs down is the changing
of the rules for the home run derby going to
open the door to more name brand players participating. So
(04:25):
I'm going thumbs down. I'm gonna go with thumbs down
on this. And baseball's always futsing around with the derby.
They're messing with this home run derby. They can't make
their mind up. They're meddling, they're tweaking this and moving
this around and all. It's a lot of corporate shenanigans
that goes on at Major League Baseball. They do it
(04:46):
because both the players and Rob Manford, or as we
like to call a man fraud, have a pre existing condition. Okay,
now the players. We'll start with the players. Baseball players.
My entire life I the baseball beat when I started
out in radio, and I was interviewing athletes in baseball
locker rooms every day, and it hasn't changed. They complain,
(05:07):
then they complain now they're chronic complainers. Baseball players are
chronic complainers. Nothing is ever good enough, it's not it's
never good enough, and they love to focus on the problems.
They complain about the wear and tear, the home run derby,
and even though study after study is determined it's all
bull crap, the players believe it's not bull crap, and
(05:30):
they complain and they're convinced that the home run derby
is the Boogeyman and if you do it, you're gonna
get hurt, You're not gonna play well in the second half,
and it's all bull crap. It's it's absolute bullcrap. And
Rob Manford a meddling bureaucrat who runs Major League Baseball
right into the ground. He's the guy that gave us
ghost runners ghost runners in professional baseball. He did it.
(05:55):
He did it under his watch. He did it. He
also allowed the cheating ass one thousand two, one thousand
holes to cheat in the twenty seventeen World Series got
away with it. Not a single player punished, not a
single player partish in that World Series. But Manfred's always
got He's Medley, he's always got his finger in the
pie he does, and he's redecorating he's tweaking this and
(06:17):
that whatever, and these changes. If the endgame is to
get more players to be part of the hom run
derby who are of name brand value, it's not gonna work.
It's not gonna change anything in that regard. And here's
why many of the biggest names in baseball are scaredy cats.
Just like you don't see him basketball, the biggest names
in this slam dunk contest because they're afraid of embarrassing themselves.
(06:41):
The same thing happens in Major League baseball. Like what
if I don't the home run. There was a guy
named Mike Piazza. You probably don't know who that is.
He was a big star in a different generation. And
Piazza was in the homerun derby and it absolutely embarrassed himself.
It was a joke and it was humiliated, and that
was it. I never did it again, and players saw that,
(07:02):
other star players. I don't want to do that. I
don't embarrass and baseball should just come up with a
set for the homer to I would like to go
back old school where they had just ten outs, go
back to the way it had been ten outs, and
that's it. You're done. So if you, you know, swinging
a pitch and you make it out, that's all. It's over.
(07:23):
And let the players who have the base balls to participate,
and the cowards can sit on the side and they
can suck the thumb in the fetal position and watch
the other people hit home runs. All right now, speaking
of hitting home runs, the New York Mets, even though
they lost the last couple of games, they have hit
a bunch of home runs over the last couple of weeks,
(07:44):
and the Mets have worked their way back into the
wild card race in the National League, and all because
of Grimace. All because of Grimace. So I bring that
up because there are reports as we move into the
month of July about what the Mets are going to
do and teams that are interested in acquiring Pete Alonzo.
Teams that are kicking the tires on a trade for
(08:05):
Peter Alonzo are supposedly convinced, I say that in air quotes,
convinced that the Metropolitans will keep a tight grip on
Peter Alonzo, their star first basemen. They will not end
up trading him as long as they're within five games
five games of a wildcard spot in the National League. Okay,
(08:28):
so what are the odds that the Mets actually trade
Peter Alonzo? What are the eys they trade him? So
Malard Sportsbook odds on this are minus two thirty. That
implies a seventy percent chance that Peter Alonzo is traded.
And here's why I don't believe the popular opinion by
(08:51):
popular people that the New York Mets, as long as
they're in contention, they're not gonna make a trade. I
don't believe it. And here the reason why is because
the owner, Steve Cohen, is a crunch the numbers guy.
He's a hedge fun guy. That's how he's made his money.
His decision will be based solely on projection models. That's it, period,
(09:16):
hard stop. That's all that matters. It doesn't matter whether
the players believe they're gonna win. It doesn't matter whether
the coaching staff, police and the team. What do the
nerds say? That's what it's gonna come down to. It's
all about the data determined probability, the projection models for
(09:36):
the team. We live in an era where athletes are
never ever going to overachieve because they're not given the
opportunity to overcome the odds. Whatever the supercomputer spits out,
that is what the Mets will do. So it's all
about the projection models. Do the Mets have a chance
based on an expected record the rest of the way
(09:58):
to make the playoff? Now to projections, you look at
the numbers, you crunch the numbers. Now, last season, I'll
give you an example. Last year the New York match were
were then striking distance. I believe they are about six
games out of a wild card Berth. At the trade
deadline they said bye bye to mad Max Scherzer and
Justin Erlinder. Now I'm fine with trading those guys, but
(10:19):
the mass said the Mets were still in contention. They
were under five hundred at the time, but they still
had a chance mathematically to get back into the race.
It is understood. It is understood that Pete Alonzo is
entering the transfer portal that he's not going to be back.
The Mets have offered him their last best offer. He
has rejected their last best offer. He would like to
(10:41):
test the market, and so he's not going to be
back in New York. They've determined what they think he's
worth the Mets, and that's it all right. Final thought.
We go to Toronto as our breathless coverage continues of
the baseball trade deadline and reports over the weekend saying
that despite some chatter that a deal might be in
(11:02):
the offing, the contracts for Bobashett and Vlatti Guerrero Junior,
Guarrero Junior starting here some home runs here lately, but
Boba Schett and Vladdie Guerrero Junior, that neither one of
them ever came close to getting a contract extension with
the Toronto baseball team. How does that if true? How
(11:24):
does that change things? How does it change thing? So?
It works as subterfuge, is what it does.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It's a big word. I like the word subterfuge. It
works as subterfusion. Here's why because the Blue Jays can
say listen, they can tell their fans we tried. We
made an offer to these guys, and that clears the
path for the Blue Jays to say, we're getting ready
take a long walk off a short pier, and we
(11:54):
wanted to sign you, and we now have to trade
you because you don't want to stay here. These are
mitigating circumstances. That's the way it is. The Blue Jays
have been a hot mess all season, just a hot
stew They failed to live up the expectations. And really
not just this year. If you look at this era,
this generation, how many years did the blue Jays suck
(12:16):
to cultivate these can't miss blue chip young players. And
they advertise a lot of panash, a lot of mataz
and all that, and I'm not seen the panash. I've
not seen the ras mataz. I've seen a lot of fizzling,
is what I've seen from the Blue Jays. It is

uh Peter the buggy boy in Ottawa, Benjamin.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Happy Canada Day.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Hey, oh Cord, Now, how do you celebrate Canaday? What's
the proper way to celebrate Canada Day?
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Well? What we do? We just go downtown and everybody's
there and it's a.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Big celebration, big celebration, Like the kids are off from school,
you know, obviously summer, so.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
The school school just a couple.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yeah, so you just enjoy the day. A lot of
d thinking that goes on, like what are we talking
about it?
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Well, we drink lots of beer, we got fireworks, there's an.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Air show, the whole thing. And the Blue Jays are
they playing earlier?
Speaker 7 (24:11):
They're horrible, they play a cat Well whatever, I don't
even I like the Braves.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
But okay, all right, well we won't even bother bringing
up the Blue Jays. Then we'll forget about the Blue Jays.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
Don't bother their garbage.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Okay, that's a great that's a good take. That's a
solid take. They are garbage. Correct.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
The reason I was calling no because you guys you
talk about theft in.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
LA Well, I talk about it because it's widespread and
no one gets punished for it.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
I say, nobody, Nobody gets punished?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Really, what's up with that? That's not right.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
I got a guy at might work. He stopped the
guy from stealing, and he got fired for stopping the guy.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, it's not it's not cool, man. They they because
they're worried about liability. The insurance. The insurance companies are like,
you can't be doing that because then if you get
injured then it's a big to do and all that.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
So just let the guy steal.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
See we're probably around the same age, Peter. We we
grew up like, yeah, you're not supposed to steal stuff,
and if you steal stuff, there's a price to pay
for that. But now it's not like that anymore. Oh yeah, no,
I agree with you. It's ridiculous what's going on. It'll change.
Nothing lasts forever. They will be law and order. At
some point it'll come back.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
All right.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
How's the buggy business you were working right now?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Well, no, the buggy business is good man. I'm pushing
the buggies. They're still working.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Okay. See, yeah, there you go, and you called up.
I remember we had a hearty conversation about where they're exactly.
What do you do with the buggies? And if we
take the buggies back, there's no job for you, Peter.
Everyone puts the buggies back, there's no job for Peter.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
But you know the way the way I see it again,
as your point, if there's a buggy there, take it
and put it there and there's someone else will use it.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
That's right. See, I'm helping out my fellow human being
with me exactly. All right, listen, enjoy Canada today for me.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
I want you to well, and you know what, not
that it matters, because I know you don't do shutouts.
But it's my birthday as well.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh well, listen, I wish I could wish you a
happy birthday, Peter, that not only is it Canada Day,
but it's your birthday. And that would be a fine
way to If I was a morning guy, Peter, I
would say, but I have a great I would do
it for you, But I'm not a morning guy. I
don't get paid like a morning guy. But I hope
you understand otherwise I would wish you a happy birthday,
but I cannot wish you a happy birthday.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
Okay, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Right, there you go. There's a Peter. It's big Canada
celebration there, Big Canada Today, silvers wonderful. All right, is

Yeah, I saw there's a bunch of mail, but it's
I don't know. Well it's addressed to Cool He's not

so you guys can all get one to open if
you want.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I guess yeah, And normally I would say no, but
Coop wouldn't even he didn't have the courage to tell
me he wasn't gonna be here this week. Do you
believe that, Eddie? You think to say I'm not gonna
not gonna be in next week? Wouldn't that be a
polite thing to do.
Speaker 6 (27:55):

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Oh it's a corporate Eddie.
Speaker 6 (28:00):

Polite thing to do, right, I'll be here, Ben, It's

I got one more, a little trip thing before football season.
So that coming up in a few weeks all or
maybe next week, who knows. Yes, All right, what do
we got here?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Well, we got breaking news in the overnight hours out
of the NBA where insideer Adrian Originerowski reports that nine
time all start forward Paul George has agreed in a
four year two hundred and twelve super Max is a
super max.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
It's just a regular just a regular max, not super Supermax.
No regular Max basic max. Yeah, basic, much like we were.
Much like we get around here is the max contract?
Martin hands those things out, Gonna give you a max,
not the supermax.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
That's now you just get the bet, you go regular max.
So Paul George going to the Philadelphia seventy six years. Meanwhile,
his old team, the Clippers, agreeing on a two year
deal Where's seventy million with James Harden Golden State Warriors
or parting ways Klay Thompson and Chris Paul. Paul's thirty
million dollars deal for next season was about to kick in,
so they didn't want.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
To pay that.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
He has agreed in a one year, eleven million dollar
deal with the San Antonio Spurs, and after thirteen seasons
with the Warriors, Thompson reportedly looking at the Lakers, Clippers,
and Mavericks's possible landing spots for him number one hight
former number one overall but Kate Cunningham reportally agreed on
a five year toured in twenty six million dollar max
extension with the Bistons. Pistons also hiring JB. Biggerstaff as
their next head coach. In baseball game is a note
(29:26):
you had the Sunday nighter with the Rangers beating the
Orioles eleven two. Rookie Wyatt Langford hitting for the cycle
for Texas Phillies over the Marlins seven sixth. Philadelphia leading
the Majors with a fifty five and twenty nine record,
Yankees over the Blue Jays eight to one. Aaron Judge

Al Wes with the Astros winning w NBA fever over
(30:08):
the Mercury eighty eight eighty two Kale Clark fifteen points,
nine rebounds and twelve assists. And this I don't know,
curious nugget. I saw that Sunday night was the end
of an era. Bend. It was the last night of
broadcasting for the PAC twelve network, which like, since since
all the teams are kind of like left and what
(30:30):
were they showing.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
On network at this point? A. I would have to
watch to know, Well, it would be hard to do. B.
I think it got taken off a lot of the channel,
like the cable companies and the sad companies because of that,
and they I believe they laid off a bunch of
people too.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Yeah, So that was it. Good night, Pack twelve network.
I never watched you because I couldn't watch you on
my cable packet. I could watch the Big ten network.
I remember, ironic.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Years ago in the PAC twelve networks. It was in
the PAC ten at work when they started it, and
the that tennis weasel that was the commissioner, the guy
that is responsible for the end of the PAC twelve conference,
the guy that was the worst commissioner of all time?
Was it Larry Scott? Was that the guy? Yes, yeah,
it was. It was at the coliseum in La Larry
Scott was singing the praises of the PAC twelve network
(31:21):
or PAC ten. What it was called at the time,
and how great it was and how it was going
to revolutionize. It was gonna be great. Yeah, definitely did that.
It was the death of the of that conference and
his incompetent leadership and uh man, bad boss man. They'll
be writing books. It's a cautionary tale in my opinion, Eddie,
I can say whatever I want, Eddie, my opinion, debacle
(31:42):
are you done? It is the Ben Mauchow. Let's have
some fun here.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
They love they loved their baseball in Korea how much
so story bouncing around here that because of such demand
in South Korea, the KBO Baseball League, the Korean Baseball
Operation there, they're going to start putting live regular season
games simulcast broadcast in movie theaters nationwide in South Korea
(32:10):
for the first time this year. There's that much interest
in baseball. So you can go get your popcorn at
the movie theater and watch the KBO action. And I watched.
I watched Korean baseball when COVID was going on, because
that would also watch marble races, so I did. I
did monologues on marble racing. But the Korean baseball they
(32:31):
were unlike the rest of the world. They were still
playing and I loved it, loved it. Let's go to
Strip Club John. Hello, Strip Club John in Cleveland.

you idiot.
Hello and welcome. It's our numb birth three, our three,
and we start out talking bays Mall and some major
changes to the spectacle of spectacles, the home run derby
thumbs up or thumbs down? Do you think these MLB
home run derby changes will open the door to more
(00:23):
stars participating? That's said to be why baseball is changing
the rules. Also, what are the odds the Mets are
going to hold on to Pete Alonzo and keep him
there in New York or whether as they trade it
will take a look at that. And the Blue Jays,
Boba Shit and Vladi Guerrero Junior never came close to
getting new contracts. How does that change things as we
(00:46):
inch closer to the trade deadline. We'll talk about all
that and more right now as we burn the overnight
hours away. Here it is our number three, wheeling and
dealing and burning the midnight oil.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Benmahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere, cheek to cheek as
we provide a premium product unless we don't coast the

Our friend cowboy John Brad celebrating Canada Day today will
(01:53):
be having ten thousand smiles and drinks and all that.
Tyraq dot com the way tire buying, shoe and headline
this are We're gonna go to baseball. Paul George has
agreed to a contract in basketball with the Sixers. That
story developing overnight here as we did a full mall
of monologue on that earlier and we are awaiting more transactions.
(02:15):
But if you like players moving around, it's a big
time on the calendar for the NBA and a lot
of that moving going on overnight. But we're gonna go
to baseball for a few good minutes. We are closing
in on the All Star break now that we are
into July, the All Star break just a couple weeks away,
and major League baseball we'll be hitting the pause button
(02:36):
and when they hit the pause button. The most anticipated
event of that week off for baseball is being messed with.
They're futzing around with it. We're talking about the Home
Run Derby. If you didn't hear about this, and maybe
you missed it, the rules for the twenty twenty four
Derby have been altered dramatically drama, the human drama of
(03:02):
the home run Derby. Now this is they're taking a
page out of the NBA world a little bit. So
within each player's time round, the hitter will see a
maximum of forty pitches. That's it. That's all forty pitches.
And the NBA they have a maximum number of balls
(03:22):
that you can shoot on the three point contest, So
they're taking a page out of the NBA playbook on that.
Plus they claim it puts a greater importance on the
efficiency between the pitcher for batting practice and the hitter.
So let us discuss this is some other changes as well,
but thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs up or thumbs down?
(03:43):
Do you think these MLB Home Run Derby changes will
open up the competition, the door to more big names participate.
So I've got preexisting projection models and subterfuge, and we
(04:03):
will combine all of these things together, and we were
going to make nachos with that OUI gooey neon orange
cheese on top. So, first of all, the answer to
the question thumbs up and thumbs down is the changing
of the rules for the home run derby going to
open the door to more name brand players participating. So
(04:25):
I'm going thumbs down. I'm gonna go with thumbs down
on this. And baseball's always futsing around with the derby.
They're messing with this home run derby. They can't make
their mind up. They're meddling, they're tweaking this and moving
this around and all. It's a lot of corporate shenanigans
that goes on at Major League Baseball. They do it
(04:46):
because both the players and Rob Manford, or as we
like to call a man fraud, have a pre existing condition. Okay,
now the players. We'll start with the players. Baseball players.
My entire life I the baseball beat when I started
out in radio, and I was interviewing athletes in baseball
locker rooms every day, and it hasn't changed. They complain,
(05:07):
then they complain now they're chronic complainers. Baseball players are
chronic complainers. Nothing is ever good enough, it's not it's
never good enough, and they love to focus on the problems.
They complain about the wear and tear, the home run derby,
and even though study after study is determined it's all
bull crap, the players believe it's not bull crap, and
(05:30):
they complain and they're convinced that the home run derby
is the Boogeyman and if you do it, you're gonna
get hurt, You're not gonna play well in the second half,
and it's all bull crap. It's it's absolute bullcrap. And
Rob Manford a meddling bureaucrat who runs Major League Baseball
right into the ground. He's the guy that gave us
ghost runners ghost runners in professional baseball. He did it.
(05:55):
He did it under his watch. He did it. He
also allowed the cheating ass one thousand two, one thousand
holes to cheat in the twenty seventeen World Series got
away with it. Not a single player punished, not a
single player partish in that World Series. But Manfred's always
got He's Medley, he's always got his finger in the
pie he does, and he's redecorating he's tweaking this and
(06:17):
that whatever, and these changes. If the endgame is to
get more players to be part of the hom run
derby who are of name brand value, it's not gonna work.
It's not gonna change anything in that regard. And here's
why many of the biggest names in baseball are scaredy cats.
Just like you don't see him basketball, the biggest names
in this slam dunk contest because they're afraid of embarrassing themselves.
(06:41):
The same thing happens in Major League baseball. Like what
if I don't the home run. There was a guy
named Mike Piazza. You probably don't know who that is.
He was a big star in a different generation. And
Piazza was in the homerun derby and it absolutely embarrassed himself.
It was a joke and it was humiliated, and that
was it. I never did it again, and players saw that,
(07:02):
other star players. I don't want to do that. I
don't embarrass and baseball should just come up with a
set for the homer to I would like to go
back old school where they had just ten outs, go
back to the way it had been ten outs, and
that's it. You're done. So if you, you know, swinging
a pitch and you make it out, that's all. It's over.
(07:23):
And let the players who have the base balls to participate,
and the cowards can sit on the side and they
can suck the thumb in the fetal position and watch
the other people hit home runs. All right now, speaking
of hitting home runs, the New York Mets, even though
they lost the last couple of games, they have hit
a bunch of home runs over the last couple of weeks,
(07:44):
and the Mets have worked their way back into the
wild card race in the National League, and all because
of Grimace. All because of Grimace. So I bring that
up because there are reports as we move into the
month of July about what the Mets are going to
do and teams that are interested in acquiring Pete Alonzo.
Teams that are kicking the tires on a trade for
(08:05):
Peter Alonzo are supposedly convinced, I say that in air quotes,
convinced that the Metropolitans will keep a tight grip on
Peter Alonzo, their star first basemen. They will not end
up trading him as long as they're within five games
five games of a wildcard spot in the National League. Okay,
(08:28):
so what are the odds that the Mets actually trade
Peter Alonzo? What are the eys they trade him? So
Malard Sportsbook odds on this are minus two thirty. That
implies a seventy percent chance that Peter Alonzo is traded.
And here's why I don't believe the popular opinion by
(08:51):
popular people that the New York Mets, as long as
they're in contention, they're not gonna make a trade. I
don't believe it. And here the reason why is because
the owner, Steve Cohen, is a crunch the numbers guy.
He's a hedge fun guy. That's how he's made his money.
His decision will be based solely on projection models. That's it, period,
(09:16):
hard stop. That's all that matters. It doesn't matter whether
the players believe they're gonna win. It doesn't matter whether
the coaching staff, police and the team. What do the
nerds say? That's what it's gonna come down to. It's
all about the data determined probability, the projection models for
(09:36):
the team. We live in an era where athletes are
never ever going to overachieve because they're not given the
opportunity to overcome the odds. Whatever the supercomputer spits out,
that is what the Mets will do. So it's all
about the projection models. Do the Mets have a chance
based on an expected record the rest of the way
(09:58):
to make the playoff? Now to projections, you look at
the numbers, you crunch the numbers. Now, last season, I'll
give you an example. Last year the New York match were
were then striking distance. I believe they are about six
games out of a wild card Berth. At the trade
deadline they said bye bye to mad Max Scherzer and
Justin Erlinder. Now I'm fine with trading those guys, but
(10:19):
the mass said the Mets were still in contention. They
were under five hundred at the time, but they still
had a chance mathematically to get back into the race.
It is understood. It is understood that Pete Alonzo is
entering the transfer portal that he's not going to be back.
The Mets have offered him their last best offer. He
has rejected their last best offer. He would like to
(10:41):
test the market, and so he's not going to be
back in New York. They've determined what they think he's
worth the Mets, and that's it all right. Final thought.
We go to Toronto as our breathless coverage continues of
the baseball trade deadline and reports over the weekend saying
that despite some chatter that a deal might be in
(11:02):
the offing, the contracts for Bobashett and Vlatti Guerrero Junior,
Guarrero Junior starting here some home runs here lately, but
Boba Schett and Vladdie Guerrero Junior, that neither one of
them ever came close to getting a contract extension with
the Toronto baseball team. How does that if true? How
(11:24):
does that change things? How does it change thing? So?
It works as subterfuge, is what it does.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It's a big word. I like the word subterfuge. It
works as subterfusion. Here's why because the Blue Jays can
say listen, they can tell their fans we tried. We
made an offer to these guys, and that clears the
path for the Blue Jays to say, we're getting ready
take a long walk off a short pier, and we
(11:54):
wanted to sign you, and we now have to trade
you because you don't want to stay here. These are
mitigating circumstances. That's the way it is. The Blue Jays
have been a hot mess all season, just a hot
stew They failed to live up the expectations. And really
not just this year. If you look at this era,
this generation, how many years did the blue Jays suck
(12:16):
to cultivate these can't miss blue chip young players. And
they advertise a lot of panash, a lot of mataz
and all that, and I'm not seen the panash. I've
not seen the ras mataz. I've seen a lot of fizzling,
is what I've seen from the Blue Jays. It is

have an answer? I need an answer. It's the Mallard
riddle of the day. Michael Jordan, it was revealed, recently,
hired a blank for his family vacation on a yacht
in Spain. A magician, A magician? All right? The correct answer.
Michael Jordan hired a magician on his family vagation who
(19:18):
does everything that's power to make the show as bad
as possible. The w NBA scores and Lorendo, he can't
even play along. I would can't even play along Lorenda.
It's embarrassing, right, I mean we tried. I don't know
how work together and just no, there's plenty of options
that you could have gone, Messus, you could have gone
(19:40):
many directions. An ice cream up maker, ice cream maker
would have been a finanswer. Yeah, But Jordan hired Sean Christopher,
magician Sean Christopher performing his yacht and the guy took
a bunch of photos and stuff and he shared video
of of Jordan right there. Did Jordan have to fly
(20:04):
him into Spain? I don't never heard of that guy.
I don't know. I don't know much about him. But
like only, there's a handful of magicians. I love magic stuff,
but uh, this guy I'm not really familiar with. He's
probably been on TV or something. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to John in Reno. Hello, John, Bennie,

uh Peter the buggy boy in Ottawa, Benjamin.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Happy Canada Day.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Hey, oh Cord, Now, how do you celebrate Canaday? What's
the proper way to celebrate Canada Day?
Speaker 7 (23:44):
Well? What we do? We just go downtown and everybody's
there and it's a.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Big celebration, big celebration, Like the kids are off from school,
you know, obviously summer, so.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
The school school just a couple.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yeah, so you just enjoy the day. A lot of
d thinking that goes on, like what are we talking
about it?
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Well, we drink lots of beer, we got fireworks, there's an.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Air show, the whole thing. And the Blue Jays are
they playing earlier?
Speaker 7 (24:11):
They're horrible, they play a cat Well whatever, I don't
even I like the Braves.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
But okay, all right, well we won't even bother bringing
up the Blue Jays. Then we'll forget about the Blue Jays.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
Don't bother their garbage.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Okay, that's a great that's a good take. That's a
solid take. They are garbage. Correct.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
The reason I was calling no because you guys you
talk about theft in.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
LA Well, I talk about it because it's widespread and
no one gets punished for it.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
I say, nobody, Nobody gets punished?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Really, what's up with that? That's not right.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
I got a guy at might work. He stopped the
guy from stealing, and he got fired for stopping the guy.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah, it's not it's not cool, man. They they because
they're worried about liability. The insurance. The insurance companies are like,
you can't be doing that because then if you get
injured then it's a big to do and all that.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
So just let the guy steal.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
See we're probably around the same age, Peter. We we
grew up like, yeah, you're not supposed to steal stuff,
and if you steal stuff, there's a price to pay
for that. But now it's not like that anymore. Oh yeah, no,
I agree with you. It's ridiculous what's going on. It'll change.
Nothing lasts forever. They will be law and order. At
some point it'll come back.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
All right.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
How's the buggy business you were working right now?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Well, no, the buggy business is good man. I'm pushing
the buggies. They're still working.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Okay. See, yeah, there you go, and you called up.
I remember we had a hearty conversation about where they're exactly.
What do you do with the buggies? And if we
take the buggies back, there's no job for you, Peter.
Everyone puts the buggies back, there's no job for Peter.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
But you know the way the way I see it again,
as your point, if there's a buggy there, take it
and put it there and there's someone else will use it.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
That's right. See, I'm helping out my fellow human being
with me exactly. All right, listen, enjoy Canada today for me.
Speaker 7 (26:01):
I want you to well, and you know what, not
that it matters, because I know you don't do shutouts.
But it's my birthday as well.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh well, listen, I wish I could wish you a
happy birthday, Peter, that not only is it Canada Day,
but it's your birthday. And that would be a fine
way to If I was a morning guy, Peter, I
would say, but I have a great I would do
it for you, But I'm not a morning guy. I
don't get paid like a morning guy. But I hope
you understand otherwise I would wish you a happy birthday,
but I cannot wish you a happy birthday.
Speaker 7 (26:27):
Okay, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Right, there you go. There's a Peter. It's big Canada
celebration there, Big Canada Today, silvers wonderful. All right, is

on everything going on in the w NBA and stuff

so you guys can all get one to open if
you want.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I guess yeah, And normally I would say no, but
Coop wouldn't even he didn't have the courage to tell
me he wasn't gonna be here this week. Do you
believe that, Eddie? You think to say I'm not gonna
not gonna be in next week? Wouldn't that be a
polite thing to do.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
I'm gonna be off on Friday if you cared in
know that.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Oh it's a corporate Eddie.
Speaker 6 (28:00):

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Polite thing to do, right, I'll be here, Ben, It's
the grown up thing to thank you. Grown up. Oh
I got one more, a little trip thing before football season.
So that coming up in a few weeks all or
maybe next week, who knows. Yes, All right, what do
we got here?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Well, we got breaking news in the overnight hours out
of the NBA where insideer Adrian Originerowski reports that nine
time all start forward Paul George has agreed in a
four year two hundred and twelve super Max is a
super max.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
It's just a regular just a regular max, not super Supermax.
No regular Max basic max. Yeah, basic, much like we were.
Much like we get around here is the max contract?
Martin hands those things out, Gonna give you a max,
not the supermax.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
That's now you just get the bet, you go regular max.
So Paul George going to the Philadelphia seventy six years. Meanwhile,
his old team, the Clippers, agreeing on a two year
deal Where's seventy million with James Harden Golden State Warriors
or parting ways Klay Thompson and Chris Paul. Paul's thirty
million dollars deal for next season was about to kick in,
so they didn't want.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
To pay that.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
He has agreed in a one year, eleven million dollar
deal with the San Antonio Spurs, and after thirteen seasons
with the Warriors, Thompson reportedly looking at the Lakers, Clippers,
and Mavericks's possible landing spots for him number one hight
former number one overall but Kate Cunningham reportally agreed on
a five year toured in twenty six million dollar max
extension with the Bistons. Pistons also hiring JB. Biggerstaff as
their next head coach. In baseball game is a note
(29:26):
you had the Sunday nighter with the Rangers beating the
Orioles eleven two. Rookie Wyatt Langford hitting for the cycle
for Texas Phillies over the Marlins seven sixth. Philadelphia leading
the Majors with a fifty five and twenty nine record,
Yankees over the Blue Jays eight to one. Aaron Judge

Al Wes with the Astros winning w NBA fever over
(30:08):
the Mercury eighty eight eighty two Kale Clark fifteen points,
nine rebounds and twelve assists. And this I don't know,
curious nugget. I saw that Sunday night was the end
of an era. Bend. It was the last night of
broadcasting for the PAC twelve network, which like, since since
all the teams are kind of like left and what
(30:30):
were they showing.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
On network at this point? A. I would have to
watch to know, Well, it would be hard to do. B.
I think it got taken off a lot of the channel,
like the cable companies and the sad companies because of that,
and they I believe they laid off a bunch of
people too.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Yeah, So that was it. Good night, Pack twelve network.
I never watched you because I couldn't watch you on
my cable packet. I could watch the Big ten network.
I remember, ironic.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Years ago in the PAC twelve networks. It was in
the PAC ten at work when they started it, and
the that tennis weasel that was the commissioner, the guy
that is responsible for the end of the PAC twelve conference,
the guy that was the worst commissioner of all time?
Was it Larry Scott? Was that the guy? Yes, yeah,
it was. It was at the coliseum in La Larry
Scott was singing the praises of the PAC twelve network
(31:21):
or PAC ten. What it was called at the time,
and how great it was and how it was going
to revolutionize. It was gonna be great. Yeah, definitely did that.
It was the death of the of that conference and
his incompetent leadership and uh man, bad boss man. They'll
be writing books. It's a cautionary tale in my opinion, Eddie,
I can say whatever I want, Eddie, my opinion, debacle
(31:42):
are you done? It is the Ben Mauchow. Let's have
some fun here.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
They love they loved their baseball in Korea how much
so story bouncing around here that because of such demand
in South Korea, the KBO Baseball League, the Korean Baseball
Operation there, they're going to start putting live regular season
games simulcast broadcast in movie theaters nationwide in South Korea
(32:10):
for the first time this year. There's that much interest
in baseball. So you can go get your popcorn at
the movie theater and watch the KBO action. And I watched.
I watched Korean baseball when COVID was going on, because
that would also watch marble races, so I did. I
did monologues on marble racing. But the Korean baseball they
(32:31):
were unlike the rest of the world. They were still
playing and I loved it, loved it. Let's go to
Strip Club John. Hello, Strip Club John in Cleveland.

But that's that's just because there's nowhere else to go.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, they got nothing to do. And how can you
cultivate business? Is there anything you can do to kind
of create artificial business here?
Speaker 8 (33:24):
You know, you know, you know it's kind of a content.
You know, it's like a funeral home. You know, it's
always there. You know you're going to hit it eventually.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yes. When I think funeral home and strip club, I
think very similar, very similar things.
Speaker 8 (33:38):
Well, you know, it's in a certain business, you know
what I'm saying. You know, it's a business Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Remember during the pandemic there was certain places had to
close and other people could continue working because they were
more important. And what you do very important. You're doing service, Yes, exactly. Yeah,
