at the scandal in baseball. Are we getting the full
picture on Major League Baseball firing umpire Pat Hoburg?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Why?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Why does major League Baseball look extra shady in this
ump being fired storyline? And Pat Hoburg was one of
Major League Baseball's top ranked umpires. Make it make sense.
We'll try to make it make sense. We'll get to
that right now here. It is our number three. What
(00:35):
can Blue do for you?

Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben

B Yes, absolutely I know beyond a reasonable doubt that
the Palm Desert rat loves that number ten thousand, big
fan of the number ten thousand. So our lead this
hour is from baseball. Pitchers and catchers will start working
out in Arizona and Florida.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Shortly.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
The first spring training baseball game is a little over
two weeks away. The Cubs and the Dodgers in Arizona
will kick it off, and that'll be the first exhibition game.
And then a bunch more baseball make a bunch of money,
charging regular season prices for a bunch of minor leaguers
(02:12):
playing in spring training ballparks around Florida and Arizona, and
then it's on like don't gighong when the regular season
comes around.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
But the story here is from.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
These scandal files of Major League Baseball. Always a good
story here, gambling and baseball together again. Playball, playball. So
you haven't heard, perhaps not, we have learned that major
League Baseball has fired. They're umpire Pat Hoburg hegon hoburg
(02:47):
is hitting Iceberg. In his career, he was fired for
sharing legal sports betting account a legal sports betting account
with a buddy of his who bet on Bay Baseball.
Dundun undone, dun yeah, bet on baseball, for he was
not fired just for sharing the account, but also deleting
(03:11):
messages to the investigation. So Baseball was unable to properly
conduct the investigation because the text messages were deleted. But wait,
there's more. So Major League Baseball, seemingly with a straight face,
said that Hoberg adamantly denied betting on baseball directly or indirectly,
with Rob Manford saying that there was no evidence. The
(03:33):
clown Commissioner of Baseball said there was no evidence that
Hoburg directly bet on games or manipulated the outcome of
Major League Baseball games in any way, yet he was
still pull axed as an umpire.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
So question for the esteem panel.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Are we getting Are we getting the full picture from
Major League Baseball and their decision to fire umpire Pat Hoberg?
Are we getting the full story on this? So I've
got liquid paper, body odor, and scratching, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
(04:16):
to use a vacuum cleaner to clean up the mess.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Because make no mistake, this is a mess that's not.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Getting that much play because it's an umpired Super Bowl
week and all that.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
But we're not freeloading in Orleans, so we'll talk about this.
So I think it's a good story. So are we getting.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
The full picture on Major League Baseball firing umpire Pat Hoberg.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
No, of course not.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
We're getting a version of the truth, as we like
to say in these parts, but not the whole truth,
and certainly nothing but the truth. Classic gate, kipping gate,
gimping Baseball is a multi billion dollar business. Rob Manfraud
the commissioner of Major League Baseball. The one thing he's
been consistent, and I'll give him credit for this, I
don't have to give man Fraud credit. The thing that
(05:02):
he's been consistent at is shoddy work.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
He should be coaching the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
They hired shoddy Well, he's a shoddy commissioner, if you
know what I'm saying, Rob Manfrod Remember when Baseball I remember,
years ago I was a little child, Baseball investigated the
Houston as Trow investigated them for cheating. They were teams saying, hey,
the Astros are cheating, mister commissioner, can you please investigate.
(05:29):
Major League Baseball opened up an investigation. They cleared the
Astros of any wrongdoing, saying there was no evidence, no
evidence the a holes were cheating none. It was only
after a whistleblower alerted them to bang bang, whistle whistle
that Baseball did something. And even when they did it,
(05:51):
it was like a little mosquito bite.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's no real punishment. Somebody had to spill the beans
in order for Baseball to do something. They had been
told two plus two is four. And then at that
point they say, okay, that the light bulb went off.
The light bulb went off. Two plus two is four.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Now, what we do know is that Major League Baseball
is often clueless when it comes to these kind of stories,
and Baseball is using a lot of liquid paper. I've
noticed yet again, a lot of liquid paper, a lot
of the white out there. They have given us what
I believe is a heavily redacted my opinion. I can
say whatever I wants, my opinion a heavily redacted document,
(06:36):
and that has been edited, and there's a lot of
stuff that's been obscured here in the selective information lies,
biomission lies, biomission for public consumption.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Now, the great thing about this type of gatekeeping is
there's always a lot of dumb people that will believe anything.
They're called suckers, and the suckers.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Always believe everything. Well would they look, I don't understand.
Why would they lie, mister Magoo, I don't understand. Yeah,
So those people, whatever you feed them, they'll eat. They're
not discerning customers. They're not but using my spidy like
senses here filtering through their bull crap with my own
(07:20):
keen eye, eagle eyed vision on this story. You know
who tipped major League Baseball off to this? Who let
Baseball know there's a problem. Wasn't the umpire. It wasn't
Major League Baseball. It wasn't them doing their due diligence.
It was the sportsbook. It was the gambling house that
(07:41):
let baseball know that Hoburg, the umpire, had opened an
account in his name on January thirtieth of twenty twenty four,
and a device that he had been associated with was
using that account, and there was another name attacked that account,
(08:02):
and so that's that's where that came from. It wasn't
Baseball doing their due diligence and finding this out. They
were told by Again, the only way you get caught
by Major League Baseball is if somebody tells them this
is what's going on.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's it. Now.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Secondly, now we're about to get into the mud. Are
you ready to get in the mud. I'm ready to
get in the mud. Why does Major League Baseball look
extra extra shady, extra extra shady with this umpire being fired?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So if you take them at face value, the people
at Major League Baseball pee what stinks all of corporate baseball?
All of it, all of it. The story reeks of
body odor. The body odor is described as duplicity. That's
what's going on here, duplicity. Let me make my elevator
(08:58):
pitch on why this makes baseball look.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Really really bad, bad bad, bad bad bad And they've
got boh, they got body odor. Okay, so Commissioner Rob Manford,
stay with me on this.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
There'll be a quiz. So Rob Manford says, there was
no evidence that Hoburg directly bet on Major League Baseball
games or manipulated the outcome of said Major League Baseball
games in any way, in any way, It was just
a buddy of his that was doing this and betting
on games by his account. Yet Major League Baseball said
(09:34):
the reason they fired Pat Hoberg the umpire, was for
failing to uphold the integrity of the game, and that
he should have known, should have that sentence right there,
should have known that his friend had bet on baseball
(09:56):
from the shared account.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
So someone's now entering the chat.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
His name is show Hey Otani, ding Ding ding ding Ding,
Show Hey o Tonnai. Yeah, so we can make the
same argument for show hey Otani of the Dodgers and say, hey, listen,
and I love the Dodgers, but let's be transparentor this
is a joke that Baseball fired this umpire claimed he
(10:22):
didn't do anything wrong. It was his buddy that did
stuff wrong and that's it. Well, Otani, unless I'm mistaken,
did he not fail to uphold the integrity of the game.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
A guy that was his right hand man, that knew
all of his secrets was betting hundreds of thousands of
dollars every couple of days on Major League Baseball games,
and Otani's sitting there completely dumb, the dumb, dumb, dumb.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Come on, but he didn't lose his job. Too big
to get rid of Otani, right, Too big a star,
you gotta keep Otani and base who cares about Pat Hoberg. Right,
you can get rid of Pat Hoberg, But you got
rid of him, mister Commissioner, for the same reason that
you could have easily used for Otani. That he should
have known, right, should have known that his buddy was
(11:12):
stealing his money, right, should have known. Stupid, stupid, stupid,
stupid right now, final though, so, Pat Hoberg, the umpire
was one of the top ranked umpires, and there's been
this common trend. I don't understand. He was one of
the top ranked umpires in baseball. Make it make sense.
(11:35):
I'm gonna attempt to make it make sense. Things that
make you go hmmm, Part two. Things that make you
go hmm, Part two. So this actually helps support the
argument that we're not getting the whole story. That we're
getting part of the story. We're not getting the whole
story here. And as you dig a little deeper in
(12:01):
the rabbit hole, and you go a little bit deeper,
it's more likely than not that Major League Baseball is
giving us a version of events that again have been filtered,
and there's more than they're sharing.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
There's more.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
The main problem is the umpire's friend was good at
gambling on baseball, made money gambling on baseball. Not a
lot on that account, though, not a lot on that account.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
And remember the rules. If you're going to gamble on sports,
as long as you lose, you can keep betting as
much as you want. But when you start.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Winning, eh, now you can lose as long as the
government gets their money. If you're using a neighborhood bookie
like Otani's right hand guy, the government gets upset because
they want those tax dollars so they can give them
to politicians, So they need your tax dollars there, so
that becomes problematic.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
So you shouldn't use a neighborhood but wink wink, DoD not.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
But in terms of this right, what happened here, it
was legal sports betting. How much money did this account
make well major League Baseball. According to the reports out,
there were one hundred and forty one wagers made on
baseball between April second, twenty twenty one, and November one,
(13:22):
twenty twenty three. So that is essentially three seasons, one
hundred and forty one best. That's not that many over
three years of baseball. The total amount wager, though, was
over two hundred thousand dollars over two hundred thousand dollars.
Two hundred and fourteen thousand dollars was bet from the account.
That's a lot of money. And then that's a fair amount.
(13:43):
You didn't do the math on that. Let's se let's
do the mal of math right now. So you got
the the two.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
The number was two fourteen, and then that's divided by
by three. So we do the math. So seventy one thousand,
over seventy one thousand dollars a year they were wagering
on baseball. That's that's a fair amount.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You know, it's more than most people make in the
normal working stiff. That's more than most people make. Go
right around where most people make. Yeah, seventy one thousand.
So seventy one thousand dollars a year betting on baseball.
How much money do they make? About thirty five thousand total. Now,
you can't live on thirty five thousand dollars over three years, right,
I mean maybe you could. Weed man does it in
(14:24):
Miami and some of you guys do it, But for
most people, you need more money than that. The part
that I'm curious about, riddle me this Batman, is it
possible that there were multiple accounts and this is just
one account, and to bet that kind of money and
only win thirty five thousand dollars, that means they were
losing a lot, and that they were also betting. I
(14:46):
would think big favorites from that account. So what about
the other accounts? Now, Holberg the umpire. He had a
perfect game as an umpire. It was during the World Series.
I remember talking about this. It was like, well, the
the nerves were all excited, orgasms. It was like orgas made.
I can't believe it. They had a pantch down. They
were so excited. Game two of the twenty twenty two
(15:06):
World Series, and he accurately called balls and strikes, one
hundred and twenty nine pitches taken, and he got all
one hundred and twenty nine right. According to the nerds
the computer tracking, it was a perfect game. So Hallberg
was regarded as the top ball strike umpire in baseball.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
He's thirty eight years old. He's now lost his career.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Baseball says, well, we can apply for reinstatement spring training
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I'm sure baseball will line up to hire him back.
I'm sure that'll happen right away. And he's got two options,
right you can go get a real job somewhere, or
go find Tim Donahey And isn't Donnie he giving out picks.
I had Donahey in my podcast. He was very robotic,
the NBA official that was fixing games and stuff. He
was very robotic. Was he was like, he had all
these talking points, he repeated. But I think he's making
(15:56):
money as a tout last I heard think he's involved
in that game.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
But not sleepy enough to go to sleep. He's awake. Hello,
sleepy Lama.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Hey he has gone.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
If I was any better, I'd be a Maverick, but
not a Dallas Maverick because they just gave away Luca.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Oh no, that is definitely a really big trade, and
I honestly definitely don't agree that is honestly the best
trade for him. Not doesn't get me wrong. I'm definitely
I'm a first fan, so it doesn't affect me, and
I enjoy what we just got recently from the teams.
But uh that I mean, I don't know how it's
going to work out for the Mavericks, but it's definitely
(22:34):
gonna probably worked out for the Lakers either way.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Now, more importantly, sir, do you look like a lama?
You do not?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
You.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I'm more like you want to look like a Wallers.
You're a big guy. You're a big guy. You're largely
in charge.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Huh charge, Maybe not half time, but sometimes I try.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I don't know how old you are.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
But do you know there was a basketball player that
looked like a lama in the NBA?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, you look him up named paw Gasol. Look
like a lama. Yeah, played for the Lakers years ago,
dead ring. No, No, my my radio buddy, Mikey Adams
in Boston. I went out with him one night. He's, oh, yeah,
he's give me the whole. Yeah, he looks like a lama.
And once you look at now he's.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Not playing anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
But if you watch old clips of Pawl Gasol, he
does look like a lama.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
It's very odd you see that.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And there was a who was the quarterback that had
the long neck that looked like a draft?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Remember the thing, Mike Mike Williams.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's not his name, No, no, no, he's a very
long neck.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah it was Mike something right, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Trying. So we're playing a game, lama, We're playing a
game athletes that looked like Glennon.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Mike Glennon, Yes, Mike Lennon. His neck was longer. When
I was a little kid, I went to the San
Diego Zoo and they had a draft. His neck longer
than the draft at the San Diego Zoo. Then I
saw when I was a.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Kid, that is quite a long neck, so very long.
Now you're looking at the photo there you see out
very elongated for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Women attracted the men with long necks, so they find
that attractive.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, I mean, do you know what they say?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Long neck and you need a big turtle neck is
what you need if you have long neck, a big
turtle neck.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Are you looking for the long neck?
Speaker 3 (24:15):
You're looking for?
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Like the little trap trapezoid neck from like their their
top works of a muffler.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
What are you looking for there?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Wow? All right? You know a nice trap muscle is
always good. Yeah. Well there's some guys that have no neck.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
They just their their neck is it doesn't exist, like
their neck went into their boy. Is very bizarre when
you look at the a lot of gym guys they
work out too much and their neck goes away.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Because it's all I get it.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I get it percent on that. But that was my
only take on that for sure, because that is I
don't know about that trade.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Like I mean, you didn't call about that trade, though
you called about some nest.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
You had a different agenda when you called up.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Agenda really when I came in though, it was leually
just talking about officiating overall. Like I know you were
talking earlier about the MLB and like how the official
worked out, and you said there was like you know,
blank sheets going around, but like, let's talk about like
some of this stuff that's going on with like NCAA
like officials and also like you know NFL and NBA,
(25:11):
like it almost seems like, honestly, I know this is
like what happens to a lot of listeners have done.
They feel like it's like like there's almost vegas in
the ear if you feel like what I'm saying with.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That, Yeah, no, I but I don't think it's coming
from the league. I think it's individuals that are involved
in gambling. I do think there's a lot of that
going on. One one, the guy that was Otani's buddies bookie,
said he thinks fifty percent of professional athletes are betting
on games, and also that's.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
A that's a pretty big number.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I think it's more individual like Tim Donnie, he was
involved in it.
Speaker 1 (25:48):

can it's very difficult to rig it that way, all right, Well,

Paul George, I believe, has played thirty games with the Sixers.
He signed a max contract and already they're trying to
hit the eject button in Philadelphia. Four year, two hundred
eleven million dollar contract for Paul George, and it is
believed that he is on the auctioning block and they're

trying to line up trades here and there's a chatter
the Golden State Warriors. Yeah, there's bidding. That's the sound
of what it's like right there. These sixers are trying
to find someone to take Paul George.

They're already heading the wrong direction. They're heading the wrong
direction of the Warriors. You put Paul George in there,
and it's like a small smoldering piece of wood pouring
(28:04):
gasoline over that. Oh man, what a mess that is
going to be.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
What a mess.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Let's go to the phones. Angry Bill, you were already
on Angry Bill. Why'd you call it? You want to
earl your angry Bill?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I apologize. I'm gonna tell you a quick true story.
The second he came on, I woke up.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh really, you were sleeping?
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Eh? Yeah, in this second it happened, and I heard
myself talking, and I'm like, I must be going to health.
It's today, this morning, at ten thirty, I'm going in
for a pacemaker. So I thought I died and was
going to hell when I heard him talking.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Now, how do you know you're going to hell? Are
you sure you're going to hell when you die?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Well, right now, the numbers don't add up.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Good, you're not looking good? All right?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Well, yeah, you've got a cost benefit. You've looked at
your Yeah, all right, So today's the b And I've
never had a pacemaker, So what's it?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
What's it like? What's the operation?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Like?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Angry? But you go into it?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
But no, it's actually going into the doctor's office. And
they do it right in the doctor's office.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
No, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (29:06):
In the they don't even take you to the hospital
and the doctor they just put that boom right there.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
That's wild. Crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, I'm going to see how wild it is. He'll
be all right, let's put I got no problem. What
why don't we just put this to sleep? This stupid trade? Okay, Ben,
am I going to ask your professional opinion? The trade
was made? We know who went where, what teams they
went to let me ask you what effect will Let's
(29:33):
trade have on the rest of the NBA season where
we're what do you think it's called?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It destroys the Dallas Mavericks. The fan base is ruined
in Dallas. That franchises toast. They lied to their fans,
and for the Lakers, they get know whether Luke I
don't know. The reporting says he's an alcoholic and he's
got a eating problem, and I don't know how much
of that is true.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
And it looks like he's a little overweight, but not
that overweight. I don't know if he drinks a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I know back in the day, a lot of those
guys drank a ton and they still were able to play,
so they usually can't. You have problems when you get
to your mid thirties or late thirties.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Right, your guy, your guy?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, But you know, Luca is a great
offensive player when the all time great offense. He doesn't
play defense. He's a great offensive player, and he'll be
the face of the Lakers for the next ten years,
at least.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
For this season.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
For this season, the Lakers will be more interesting and
the Mavericks will be less interesting.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
So the words nothing. The trade has nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Well, you hate the NBA. I don't know what you
want me to say.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
You know, yeah, Well, the guys around before you they're
getting like they talked about this trade like they're getting
with I mean.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Well, I'm not talking you know me. I angry Bill,
I'm not talking like that. It's an interesting story. It's like,
you don't know any it'd be the equivalent in baseball.
I'm trying to think what the comp would be in
baseball a young player, like let's say, like when Mike
Trout was really good before he started sucking, and the
Angels decided they were gonna trade Mike Trout, but they
(31:09):
were only gonna trade him to the Chicago Cubs, and nobody
else could get their hands on Mike Trout, but only
the Chicago Cubs. They didn't negotiate with anyone else, they
didn't tell anyone about it, and then boom, they just
traded him out of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
It still means nothing.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Well, I hate to tell you, anger Bill, most of
what I talk about means nothing. Okay, I'm in the
nothing business. I get paid to talk about nothing. That
is my job. Okay, my job is nothing. So when
you're upset that that nothing. I either talk about that
or some other nothing. I'm talking about nothing. What do
(31:46):
you want nothing to talk about?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
My God, you're.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Talking to me at four o'clock in the morning. You
got nothing going exactly.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I'm a loser. I'm a bigger loser than you. I'm
taking your call.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
No, true, I'd rather die with blind Scott talking about me.
You imagine that in lights, blind Scott talking about you.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Think about thinking you've died because you hear blind Scott
doing an impersonation of you on the radio.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
What do you boy that? That is hell? You imagine
that's like the worst.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Betting situation, this betting situation on baseball. But why don't
they just let everybody do whatever they want and they'd
be less trouble.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So just let everyone fix the games and whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
You know, I have the have the strike zone like
the Naked Gun movie, where you know everything is everything's
a strike or nothing's a strike, and then that's it.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
So this umpire, Okay, he can get reinstated in another year.
A chance of that happening, huh?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I know, just like just like Pete Rose had a
chance to get reinstated.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Died waiting for that.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
He died exactly.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Good luck today, Angry Bill, take care, hang out there,
you angry Bill.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Is that what we have to look forward to, getting
pacemakers to get older? Oh yeah, I can't wait. Yeah,
it's wonderful. I already lost my gall bladder a couple
of years ago. So that's a bladder.

picture on Major League Baseball firing umpire Pat Hoburg?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Why?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Why does major League Baseball look extra shady in this
ump being fired storyline? And Pat Hoburg was one of
Major League Baseball's top ranked umpires. Make it make sense.
We'll try to make it make sense. We'll get to
that right now here. It is our number three. What
(00:35):
can Blue do for you?
Speaker 1 (00:37):

B Yes, absolutely I know beyond a reasonable doubt that
the Palm Desert rat loves that number ten thousand, big
fan of the number ten thousand. So our lead this
hour is from baseball. Pitchers and catchers will start working
out in Arizona and Florida.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Shortly.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
The first spring training baseball game is a little over
two weeks away. The Cubs and the Dodgers in Arizona
will kick it off, and that'll be the first exhibition game.
And then a bunch more baseball make a bunch of money,
charging regular season prices for a bunch of minor leaguers
(02:12):
playing in spring training ballparks around Florida and Arizona, and
then it's on like don't gighong when the regular season
comes around.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
But the story here is from.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
These scandal files of Major League Baseball. Always a good
story here, gambling and baseball together again. Playball, playball. So
you haven't heard, perhaps not, we have learned that major
League Baseball has fired. They're umpire Pat Hoburg hegon hoburg
(02:47):
is hitting Iceberg. In his career, he was fired for
sharing legal sports betting account a legal sports betting account
with a buddy of his who bet on Bay Baseball.
Dundun undone, dun yeah, bet on baseball, for he was
not fired just for sharing the account, but also deleting
(03:11):
messages to the investigation. So Baseball was unable to properly
conduct the investigation because the text messages were deleted. But wait,
there's more. So Major League Baseball, seemingly with a straight face,
said that Hoberg adamantly denied betting on baseball directly or indirectly,
with Rob Manford saying that there was no evidence. The
(03:33):
clown Commissioner of Baseball said there was no evidence that
Hoburg directly bet on games or manipulated the outcome of
Major League Baseball games in any way, yet he was
still pull axed as an umpire.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
So question for the esteem panel.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Are we getting Are we getting the full picture from
Major League Baseball and their decision to fire umpire Pat Hoberg?
Are we getting the full story on this? So I've
got liquid paper, body odor, and scratching, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
(04:16):
to use a vacuum cleaner to clean up the mess.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Because make no mistake, this is a mess that's not.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Getting that much play because it's an umpired Super Bowl
week and all that.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
But we're not freeloading in Orleans, so we'll talk about this.
So I think it's a good story. So are we getting.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
The full picture on Major League Baseball firing umpire Pat Hoberg.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
No, of course not.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
We're getting a version of the truth, as we like
to say in these parts, but not the whole truth,
and certainly nothing but the truth. Classic gate, kipping gate,
gimping Baseball is a multi billion dollar business. Rob Manfraud
the commissioner of Major League Baseball. The one thing he's
been consistent, and I'll give him credit for this, I
don't have to give man Fraud credit. The thing that
(05:02):
he's been consistent at is shoddy work.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
He should be coaching the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
They hired shoddy Well, he's a shoddy commissioner, if you
know what I'm saying, Rob Manfrod Remember when Baseball I remember,
years ago I was a little child, Baseball investigated the
Houston as Trow investigated them for cheating. They were teams saying, hey,
the Astros are cheating, mister commissioner, can you please investigate.
(05:29):
Major League Baseball opened up an investigation. They cleared the
Astros of any wrongdoing, saying there was no evidence, no
evidence the a holes were cheating none. It was only
after a whistleblower alerted them to bang bang, whistle whistle
that Baseball did something. And even when they did it,
(05:51):
it was like a little mosquito bite.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's no real punishment. Somebody had to spill the beans
in order for Baseball to do something. They had been
told two plus two is four. And then at that
point they say, okay, that the light bulb went off.
The light bulb went off. Two plus two is four.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Now, what we do know is that Major League Baseball
is often clueless when it comes to these kind of stories,
and Baseball is using a lot of liquid paper. I've
noticed yet again, a lot of liquid paper, a lot
of the white out there. They have given us what
I believe is a heavily redacted my opinion. I can
say whatever I wants, my opinion a heavily redacted document,
(06:36):
and that has been edited, and there's a lot of
stuff that's been obscured here in the selective information lies,
biomission lies, biomission for public consumption.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Now, the great thing about this type of gatekeeping is
there's always a lot of dumb people that will believe anything.
They're called suckers, and the suckers.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Always believe everything. Well would they look, I don't understand.
Why would they lie, mister Magoo, I don't understand. Yeah,
So those people, whatever you feed them, they'll eat. They're
not discerning customers. They're not but using my spidy like
senses here filtering through their bull crap with my own
(07:20):
keen eye, eagle eyed vision on this story. You know
who tipped major League Baseball off to this? Who let
Baseball know there's a problem. Wasn't the umpire. It wasn't
Major League Baseball. It wasn't them doing their due diligence.
It was the sportsbook. It was the gambling house that
(07:41):
let baseball know that Hoburg, the umpire, had opened an
account in his name on January thirtieth of twenty twenty four,
and a device that he had been associated with was
using that account, and there was another name attacked that account,
(08:02):
and so that's that's where that came from. It wasn't
Baseball doing their due diligence and finding this out. They
were told by Again, the only way you get caught
by Major League Baseball is if somebody tells them this
is what's going on.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's it. Now.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Secondly, now we're about to get into the mud. Are
you ready to get in the mud. I'm ready to
get in the mud. Why does Major League Baseball look
extra extra shady, extra extra shady with this umpire being fired?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So if you take them at face value, the people
at Major League Baseball pee what stinks all of corporate baseball?
All of it, all of it. The story reeks of
body odor. The body odor is described as duplicity. That's
what's going on here, duplicity. Let me make my elevator
(08:58):
pitch on why this makes baseball look.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Really really bad, bad bad, bad bad bad And they've
got boh, they got body odor. Okay, so Commissioner Rob Manford,
stay with me on this.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
There'll be a quiz. So Rob Manford says, there was
no evidence that Hoburg directly bet on Major League Baseball
games or manipulated the outcome of said Major League Baseball
games in any way, in any way, It was just
a buddy of his that was doing this and betting
on games by his account. Yet Major League Baseball said
(09:34):
the reason they fired Pat Hoberg the umpire, was for
failing to uphold the integrity of the game, and that
he should have known, should have that sentence right there,
should have known that his friend had bet on baseball
(09:56):
from the shared account.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
So someone's now entering the chat.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
His name is show Hey Otani, ding Ding ding ding Ding,
Show Hey o Tonnai. Yeah, so we can make the
same argument for show hey Otani of the Dodgers and say, hey, listen,
and I love the Dodgers, but let's be transparentor this
is a joke that Baseball fired this umpire claimed he
(10:22):
didn't do anything wrong. It was his buddy that did
stuff wrong and that's it. Well, Otani, unless I'm mistaken,
did he not fail to uphold the integrity of the game.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
A guy that was his right hand man, that knew
all of his secrets was betting hundreds of thousands of
dollars every couple of days on Major League Baseball games,
and Otani's sitting there completely dumb, the dumb, dumb, dumb.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Come on, but he didn't lose his job. Too big
to get rid of Otani, right, Too big a star,
you gotta keep Otani and base who cares about Pat Hoberg. Right,
you can get rid of Pat Hoberg, But you got
rid of him, mister Commissioner, for the same reason that
you could have easily used for Otani. That he should
have known, right, should have known that his buddy was
(11:12):
stealing his money, right, should have known. Stupid, stupid, stupid,
stupid right now, final though, so, Pat Hoberg, the umpire
was one of the top ranked umpires, and there's been
this common trend. I don't understand. He was one of
the top ranked umpires in baseball. Make it make sense.
(11:35):
I'm gonna attempt to make it make sense. Things that
make you go hmmm, Part two. Things that make you
go hmm, Part two. So this actually helps support the
argument that we're not getting the whole story. That we're
getting part of the story. We're not getting the whole
story here. And as you dig a little deeper in
(12:01):
the rabbit hole, and you go a little bit deeper,
it's more likely than not that Major League Baseball is
giving us a version of events that again have been filtered,
and there's more than they're sharing.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
There's more.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
The main problem is the umpire's friend was good at
gambling on baseball, made money gambling on baseball. Not a
lot on that account, though, not a lot on that account.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
And remember the rules. If you're going to gamble on sports,
as long as you lose, you can keep betting as
much as you want. But when you start.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Winning, eh, now you can lose as long as the
government gets their money. If you're using a neighborhood bookie
like Otani's right hand guy, the government gets upset because
they want those tax dollars so they can give them
to politicians, So they need your tax dollars there, so
that becomes problematic.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
So you shouldn't use a neighborhood but wink wink, DoD not.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
But in terms of this right, what happened here, it
was legal sports betting. How much money did this account
make well major League Baseball. According to the reports out,
there were one hundred and forty one wagers made on
baseball between April second, twenty twenty one, and November one,
(13:22):
twenty twenty three. So that is essentially three seasons, one
hundred and forty one best. That's not that many over
three years of baseball. The total amount wager, though, was
over two hundred thousand dollars over two hundred thousand dollars.
Two hundred and fourteen thousand dollars was bet from the account.
That's a lot of money. And then that's a fair amount.
(13:43):
You didn't do the math on that. Let's se let's
do the mal of math right now. So you got
the the two.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
The number was two fourteen, and then that's divided by
by three. So we do the math. So seventy one thousand,
over seventy one thousand dollars a year they were wagering
on baseball. That's that's a fair amount.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You know, it's more than most people make in the
normal working stiff. That's more than most people make. Go
right around where most people make. Yeah, seventy one thousand.
So seventy one thousand dollars a year betting on baseball.
How much money do they make? About thirty five thousand total. Now,
you can't live on thirty five thousand dollars over three years, right,
I mean maybe you could. Weed man does it in
(14:24):
Miami and some of you guys do it, But for
most people, you need more money than that. The part
that I'm curious about, riddle me this Batman, is it
possible that there were multiple accounts and this is just
one account, and to bet that kind of money and
only win thirty five thousand dollars, that means they were
losing a lot, and that they were also betting. I
(14:46):
would think big favorites from that account. So what about
the other accounts? Now, Holberg the umpire. He had a
perfect game as an umpire. It was during the World Series.
I remember talking about this. It was like, well, the
the nerves were all excited, orgasms. It was like orgas made.
I can't believe it. They had a pantch down. They
were so excited. Game two of the twenty twenty two
(15:06):
World Series, and he accurately called balls and strikes, one
hundred and twenty nine pitches taken, and he got all
one hundred and twenty nine right. According to the nerds
the computer tracking, it was a perfect game. So Hallberg
was regarded as the top ball strike umpire in baseball.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
He's thirty eight years old. He's now lost his career.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Baseball says, well, we can apply for reinstatement spring training
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I'm sure baseball will line up to hire him back.
I'm sure that'll happen right away. And he's got two options,
right you can go get a real job somewhere, or
go find Tim Donahey And isn't Donnie he giving out picks.
I had Donahey in my podcast. He was very robotic,
the NBA official that was fixing games and stuff. He
was very robotic. Was he was like, he had all
these talking points, he repeated. But I think he's making
(15:56):
money as a tout last I heard think he's involved
in that game.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
the sleepy Lama who's in Texas.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
But not sleepy enough to go to sleep. He's awake. Hello,
sleepy Lama.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Hey he has gone.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
If I was any better, I'd be a Maverick, but
not a Dallas Maverick because they just gave away Luca.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Oh no, that is definitely a really big trade, and
I honestly definitely don't agree that is honestly the best
trade for him. Not doesn't get me wrong. I'm definitely
I'm a first fan, so it doesn't affect me, and
I enjoy what we just got recently from the teams.
But uh that I mean, I don't know how it's
going to work out for the Mavericks, but it's definitely
(22:34):
gonna probably worked out for the Lakers either way.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Now, more importantly, sir, do you look like a lama?
You do not?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
You.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I'm more like you want to look like a Wallers.
You're a big guy. You're a big guy. You're largely
in charge.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Huh charge, Maybe not half time, but sometimes I try.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I don't know how old you are.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
But do you know there was a basketball player that
looked like a lama in the NBA?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, yeah, you look him up named paw Gasol. Look
like a lama. Yeah, played for the Lakers years ago,
dead ring. No, No, my my radio buddy, Mikey Adams
in Boston. I went out with him one night. He's, oh, yeah,
he's give me the whole. Yeah, he looks like a lama.
And once you look at now he's.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Not playing anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
But if you watch old clips of Pawl Gasol, he
does look like a lama.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
It's very odd you see that.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And there was a who was the quarterback that had
the long neck that looked like a draft?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Remember the thing, Mike Mike Williams.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's not his name, No, no, no, he's a very
long neck.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah it was Mike something right, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Trying. So we're playing a game, lama, We're playing a
game athletes that looked like Glennon.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Mike Glennon, Yes, Mike Lennon. His neck was longer. When
I was a little kid, I went to the San
Diego Zoo and they had a draft. His neck longer
than the draft at the San Diego Zoo. Then I
saw when I was a.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Kid, that is quite a long neck, so very long.
Now you're looking at the photo there you see out
very elongated for sure.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Women attracted the men with long necks, so they find
that attractive.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, I mean, do you know what they say?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Long neck and you need a big turtle neck is
what you need if you have long neck, a big
turtle neck.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Are you looking for the long neck?
Speaker 3 (24:15):
You're looking for?
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Like the little trap trapezoid neck from like their their
top works of a muffler.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
What are you looking for there?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Wow? All right? You know a nice trap muscle is
always good. Yeah. Well there's some guys that have no neck.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
They just their their neck is it doesn't exist, like
their neck went into their boy. Is very bizarre when
you look at the a lot of gym guys they
work out too much and their neck goes away.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Because it's all I get it.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
I get it percent on that. But that was my
only take on that for sure, because that is I
don't know about that trade.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Like I mean, you didn't call about that trade, though
you called about some nest.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
You had a different agenda when you called up.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Agenda really when I came in though, it was leually
just talking about officiating overall. Like I know you were
talking earlier about the MLB and like how the official
worked out, and you said there was like you know,
blank sheets going around, but like, let's talk about like
some of this stuff that's going on with like NCAA
like officials and also like you know NFL and NBA,
(25:11):
like it almost seems like, honestly, I know this is
like what happens to a lot of listeners have done.
They feel like it's like like there's almost vegas in
the ear if you feel like what I'm saying with.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That, Yeah, no, I but I don't think it's coming
from the league. I think it's individuals that are involved
in gambling. I do think there's a lot of that
going on. One one, the guy that was Otani's buddies bookie,
said he thinks fifty percent of professional athletes are betting
on games, and also that's.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
A that's a pretty big number.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I think it's more individual like Tim Donnie, he was
involved in it.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It's like from the league office.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I think there's a lot of bad officials and there's
a few of them that are betting on the games
and it's affecting the outcomes very hard though in the NFL,
because there's so many officials on on a crew, it
can it's very difficult to rig it that way, all right, Well,

bouncing around pro bouncy Ball that Paul George can be
yours if the price is right. He's only been in
Philadelphia for a minute. Who could have seen this coming.
(27:02):
Paul George, I believe, has played thirty games with the Sixers.
He signed a max contract and already they're trying to
hit the eject button in Philadelphia. Four year, two hundred
eleven million dollar contract for Paul George, and it is
believed that he is on the auctioning block and they're
(27:24):
trying to line up trades here and there's a chatter
the Golden State Warriors. Yeah, there's bidding. That's the sound
of what it's like right there. These sixers are trying
to find someone to take Paul George.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah. And for those of you.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
That we have a lot of listeners in the Bay Area,
I'm warning you right now, Okay, you want nothing to
do with this guy. Okay, do you want to stay
away from Paul George. He will take the Warrior franchise.
They're already heading the wrong direction. They're heading the wrong
direction of the Warriors. You put Paul George in there,
and it's like a small smoldering piece of wood pouring
(28:04):
gasoline over that. Oh man, what a mess that is
going to be.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
What a mess.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Let's go to the phones. Angry Bill, you were already
on Angry Bill. Why'd you call it? You want to
earl your angry Bill?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I apologize. I'm gonna tell you a quick true story.
The second he came on, I woke up.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh really, you were sleeping?
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Eh? Yeah, in this second it happened, and I heard
myself talking, and I'm like, I must be going to health.
It's today, this morning, at ten thirty, I'm going in
for a pacemaker. So I thought I died and was
going to hell when I heard him talking.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Now, how do you know you're going to hell? Are
you sure you're going to hell when you die?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Well, right now, the numbers don't add up.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Good, you're not looking good? All right?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Well, yeah, you've got a cost benefit. You've looked at
your Yeah, all right, So today's the b And I've
never had a pacemaker, So what's it?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
What's it like? What's the operation?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Like?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Angry? But you go into it?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
But no, it's actually going into the doctor's office. And
they do it right in the doctor's office.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
No, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (29:06):
In the they don't even take you to the hospital
and the doctor they just put that boom right there.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
That's wild. Crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, I'm going to see how wild it is. He'll
be all right, let's put I got no problem. What
why don't we just put this to sleep? This stupid trade? Okay, Ben,
am I going to ask your professional opinion? The trade
was made? We know who went where, what teams they
went to let me ask you what effect will Let's
(29:33):
trade have on the rest of the NBA season where
we're what do you think it's called?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It destroys the Dallas Mavericks. The fan base is ruined
in Dallas. That franchises toast. They lied to their fans,
and for the Lakers, they get know whether Luke I
don't know. The reporting says he's an alcoholic and he's
got a eating problem, and I don't know how much
of that is true.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
And it looks like he's a little overweight, but not
that overweight. I don't know if he drinks a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I know back in the day, a lot of those
guys drank a ton and they still were able to play,
so they usually can't. You have problems when you get
to your mid thirties or late thirties.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Right, your guy, your guy?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, But you know, Luca is a great
offensive player when the all time great offense. He doesn't
play defense. He's a great offensive player, and he'll be
the face of the Lakers for the next ten years,
at least.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
For this season.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
For this season, the Lakers will be more interesting and
the Mavericks will be less interesting.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
So the words nothing. The trade has nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Well, you hate the NBA. I don't know what you
want me to say.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
You know, yeah, Well, the guys around before you they're
getting like they talked about this trade like they're getting
with I mean.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Well, I'm not talking you know me. I angry Bill,
I'm not talking like that. It's an interesting story. It's like,
you don't know any it'd be the equivalent in baseball.
I'm trying to think what the comp would be in
baseball a young player, like let's say, like when Mike
Trout was really good before he started sucking, and the
Angels decided they were gonna trade Mike Trout, but they
(31:09):
were only gonna trade him to the Chicago Cubs, and nobody
else could get their hands on Mike Trout, but only
the Chicago Cubs. They didn't negotiate with anyone else, they
didn't tell anyone about it, and then boom, they just
traded him out of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
It still means nothing.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Well, I hate to tell you, anger Bill, most of
what I talk about means nothing. Okay, I'm in the
nothing business. I get paid to talk about nothing. That
is my job. Okay, my job is nothing. So when
you're upset that that nothing. I either talk about that
or some other nothing. I'm talking about nothing. What do
(31:46):
you want nothing to talk about?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
My God, you're.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Talking to me at four o'clock in the morning. You
got nothing going exactly.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I'm a loser. I'm a bigger loser than you. I'm
taking your call.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
No, true, I'd rather die with blind Scott talking about me.
You imagine that in lights, blind Scott talking about you.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Think about thinking you've died because you hear blind Scott
doing an impersonation of you on the radio.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
What do you boy that? That is hell? You imagine
that's like the worst.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Betting situation, this betting situation on baseball. But why don't
they just let everybody do whatever they want and they'd
be less trouble.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So just let everyone fix the games and whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
You know, I have the have the strike zone like
the Naked Gun movie, where you know everything is everything's
a strike or nothing's a strike, and then that's it.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
So this umpire, Okay, he can get reinstated in another year.
A chance of that happening, huh?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I know, just like just like Pete Rose had a
chance to get reinstated.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Died waiting for that.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
He died exactly.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Good luck today, Angry Bill, take care, hang out there,
you angry Bill.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Is that what we have to look forward to, getting
pacemakers to get older? Oh yeah, I can't wait. Yeah,
it's wonderful. I already lost my gall bladder a couple
of years ago. So that's a bladder.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
We don't have two of those.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
No, you don't got one. Yeah, you still have your gallbladder.
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Usually when you you're not you're still young. But when
you're like forty, that's when it starts kicking in. You know,
it depends on your diet.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
You're done.
