Speaker 1 (00:00):
Playball said, the umpirates our number four, our number four,
ready to go and talking bays ball. What is your
level of excitement for sho hey Otani taking the mound
for the first time with the Dodgers in a real
game this week? Also pirates out through there. Andrew McCutcheon,
(00:21):
former MVP, said on social media recently that a Major
League Baseball rep told him the baseball's being used this
season are different, meaning they don't have as much juice.
How do you even respond to this? We'll talk about that.
And Roy McElroy finished tied for nineteenth place at the
US Open. McElroy also said over the weekend that he
(00:42):
has earned the right to do whatever he wants, including
skipping media availability. What's your verdict on this one. We'll
talk about all that and more right now here. It
is our number four. Have a wonderful Monday, the sixteenth
day of June. Here's our four. Don't call it a comeback.
(01:03):
No no, no, I can go something else, but don't call
it a comeback. Welcome. In the beginning of another hour
of The Ben Malord Show.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
We are in the air everywhere, flying the friendly audio
skies as we hang in that Creativity Lab, which is
far far away, but you get so close coast to coast,
border the border, and meon on the vast and enchantingly
(01:33):
powerful microphones of FSR.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Emm neating live from the microphones of FSR, and they
are so powerful, so enchantingly powerful, and we are hanging
out here. We have the gift, the Gift of gab
as approved by Hector. Hector the Marine, he knows who
he is. And this portion of the Ben Malord Show
(01:58):
made possible by tire Rakro forty years, tire Rack has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free, backed by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation, tire raq dot com the Way tire Buying show.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Me.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
So our lead this hour is from baseball now. The
big story in baseball I we've been yapping about here
the trade the Red Sox have said bye bye to
Rafael Devers. We did a full mouth monologue on that trade.
That was our leader, our leadoff hitter, and I don't
like to repeat myself, but you can go back here.
The podcast, including the Malor report card is raphaeld Devers
(02:43):
given away to the Giants for some one broken down pitcher,
one pitcher who projects to be a middle of the
rotation pitcher, a guy in a ball and a guy
in rookie ball.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
That is a giveaway situation, is what it is.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
But our lead, this our instrument baseball, not the Rafael demonstrate.
We can talk about that more if you want. As
that sucked the air out of the room. And another
story that came down the pike on Father's Day, the
Dodgers made some headlines we learned.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
If you didn't see this, perhaps not.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
The Dodgers made the decision that show he Otani is
going to retire psych no show Haltani is going to pitch.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Oh, thank god, thank heavens.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, so the chatter was Otani isn't going to pitch
until after the All Star break. Well turns out O'tani
is going to be the starting pitcher for the Doyers tonight,
Monday Night, Monday Night. Don't get too excited. Twenty one months,
twenty one months after the elbow went snap crackle, pop,
(03:53):
Otani will return to the mound.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
There.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Twenty one months later, he will become a two way
player for the Dodgers. He is set to be the opener.
He will be the starting pitcher, the opener in a
bullpen game, and the Dodgers play the Padres in an
NL West showdown. So let us discuss the question, what
is your level of excitement? What is your level of
(04:18):
excitement for shoe Al Tani and his pitching debut as
a Dodger.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Of course, used to pitch for the Angels.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But now he's back on the saddle again, back in
the saddle there with the Dodgers. So I've got religious revival,
Toby Keith and Bronze, and we will combine all of
these things together and we'll jump on the merry go
round and go round and round and round and round.
The merry go round, goes round and round, all right.
(04:46):
So to kick off here the breathless report. I always
getting kick out of the breathless reporting from the fan
boys in the baseball media. Oh they're so excited.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Be still my beating heart.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Tani is here to save the day on the mound.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
My god.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Unless that's not the case. Now in the Otani world,
I think we're all just if those of us the
watch baseball, it's Otani's world, we're just observing it from
the side of the road. We're just looking from the
side of the road. So Otani I could see in
my head. He goes out there and he throws three pitches.
The San Diego batters swing at all three pitches. The
(05:26):
crowd at Chavez Ravine goes nuts. They go gaga and
they're gonna faint, like they're at a Taylor Swift concert
and she sings shake it Off and everyone goes nuts.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Just like that.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It's going to be a spectacle. I cannot stand bullpen games.
It is unbecoming of a team, the stature of the
Dodgers to pitch bullpen games. But they work. I don't
care if they work. That's something that Tampa Bay raised
do or should only do. And the Milwaukee Brewers not
teams like the Dodgers and the Red Sox and the
Yankee It's ridiculous. It's the dumbest thing in that gutless,
(06:04):
spineless Commissioner rob manfraud allowing that it's a joke, it's
a bad product, and you're missing out on a major
opportunity here, and you're allowing the lunatics in baseball, the
lunatic fringe to control a game for one hundred years.
It was all right, this is starting pitcher. It's the
(06:25):
biggest thing. And they allowed because of the wussification of baseball.
They allowed this disease to to take over baseball. So, oh,
I gotta do it this way? Are you out of
an abundance of caution? So embarrassing, so ambarrazzing. But get
back to the points. So as far as Otani is concerned,
and at the game tonight, I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
He is now the face of baseball. It's not Aaron.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Judge, much to the dismay of the Yankee fans, but
it's Otani, the international man of Mystery Show Otani. And oh,
by the way, not only does he bombs, he can
throw strikes and all that stuff. And he'll be doing
it at Tchavez Ravine and all this stuff. And then
knowing that Dave Roberts Dodgers, the way these guys operate,
(07:10):
I said three pitches, he'll throw like eight, nine, ten
pitches and then that'll be that. Out of an abundance
of caution, we must check O'tani out of the game.
It is going to be biblical though. The media coverage
the whole thing and it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
whether or not Otani pitches five pitches or fifteen pitches.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
It is going to be treated like a religious revival.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
The phoenix is risen right from the ashes, right, Otani
rises from the ashes just like the phoenix, and Dada
here he is now. I am generally a pessimist. It
makes for a good talk shows. Not that I'm a
good talk shows, but I'm a pessimist when it comes
to these kind of things. And here's why. When I
(07:55):
look at Otani, he is become an A plus plus
plus position player, not even he didnt play a position
DH mostly all right, but he's an A plus plus slugger.
Otani as a pitcher, what is he realistically? Is he
like a B pitcher? I think that's about right, maybe
B minus. He's that level pitcher, which isn't bad. He's
(08:19):
not an average pitcher at some moments back in the
day with the Angels. But like I said, I'm a
pessimiss when it comes to this. And in Anaheim there
were flashes with Otani on the mount. He won fifteen
games one year and as he ari was pretty good,
he didn't pitch all that often. The offense though, that's
(08:41):
the razzle dazzle, right, that's where it's at. That's the
wow fact of the pitching. And now he's coming off
another medical procedure, so you know, how good is he
going to be barely pitch what once every six days
or seven days whatever the angels?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
What's it going to be like? Now?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Furthermore, we headed Pittsburg, PA. And this is not not
a reference to Paul Skins, the rare and appropriate, rare
and appropriate Bucko's reference without Paul Skins being involved. That's
the phenom of the Pirates. Well, Andrew McCutcheon made some
(09:21):
news member him, Hey, he won the MVP one year.
You remember him. No, he's washed up, but he's still
adding to his pension by playing for the Pirates. So
Andrew McCutcheon, the former nl MVP, said recently that he
said this on social media that a Major League Baseball rep,
some high falutint under the under the radar representative of baseball,
(09:46):
some faceless rep told him that the baseballs being used
this season are different. Yes, where we heard this story,
I don't know. Every year my entire adult life, we've
heard the story the being doctored with by Major League
Baseball hands on balls, hands on balls. So McCutcheon he
(10:08):
went into this description. He talked about the higher seams,
more drag, what a drag man, more drag. The ball
isn't flying, and the league knows it, they're aware of it,
and so they response to Major League Baseball. The response
(10:30):
to Major League Baseball was there's nothing we can do.
That's it, nothing we can do. Sorry, not sorry, and
said we can't do anyth until next year.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
The balls are the balls and that's all.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
They are just balls, and we can't change the balls
because that's what they are. So that part of it,
and how do you respond to that, right when a major,
multi billion dollar conglomerate in the industrial complex of American sports. Yeah,
the balls are messed up, but there's nothing we can
do about it.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, that is the Toby Keith song. Wacky Tobacci is
what that is, right. I mean, we're not talking about
some random fan theory where some dude gets on like
Reddit and writes a bunch of stuff about I believe
that'll spin right and it's been changed because of X,
Y and Z. No. No, no, this is a major
(11:28):
league baseball player who's got some Cachet, who won an MVP,
A susion veteran who is saying, listen, the league admitted it.
They admitted this is what's going on. It's the way
it is. That's it. We'll take you behind the curtain.
And when the player said, well, why don't we change this?
You know, why don't we why don't we change this
(11:50):
other little bit, Baseball said, well, we're aware of the issue,
but there's nothing we can do. Sorry, not sorry, that's
pretty much it, right. And then now again, this is
not something that is just out of left field. Every season,
depending on if there's a lot of home runs or
(12:13):
less home runs.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
It's always the balls.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It's always the balls, and so it's not new. It's
it's like the we're asking a golfer. If you want
to go up to a golfer and you go up
to that gallery and say, listen, I want you to
play with a different ball, different type of ball, every
(12:38):
every round, right, or every hole, just every hole, and
you tell them averaging, Yeah, I just hope you just
adjust on your own, just figure it out, you know,
and with eight million different movements or whatever, but you
just do it. But the manipulation, that's a bigger story here,
(13:00):
the manipulation of the big time sports in the industrial
complex of sports, which are pretty much across the board.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Every league futses.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Around in one way or another.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
The and b A. Now what they do over there,
they do points of emphasis.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
That's right. They do points of emphasis for the officials,
and that helps determine the outcome of games. Certain players
get called for penalties, meaning fouls, more often than other
players in certain situations, and it becomes problematic. NFL also
they have points of emphasis. We're gonna call holding. We're
not gonna call holding, but you can call holding on
(13:40):
every play. And we're gonna have a strategic pass interference
call to help out the Washington football team so they
can get closer to score some points. All that stuff.
Baseball they futs around with the balls right now, last thing.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
We pivot now to golf. You heard me right in golf.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
That's right. The US Open. Did you watch any of this? Now,
I'm not gonna do a US Open monologue. It wrapped
up over the weekend and someone named JJ Spawn the Spawn.
This guy was the only golfer that was under par.
He won four point three million and some big silver
(14:25):
trophy thing, the US Open trophy and a gold medal,
not an Olympic gold medal, but a gold medal from
Jack Nicholas. So congratulations. Now that is not much of
a talker, A nondescript golfer we've never heard of, not
that interesting for talk radio purposes. It's not so the
(14:46):
story that caught my attention here, and we know the
better stories of losing locker room. So how about Rory McElroy. Now,
Rory McElroy one of the big names in golf, and
he didn't win a major somewhat recently. So he finished
tied for nineteenth. He was seven over, which you know,
I'm not a I'm a scratch golfer. Not good at
(15:07):
seven over at the US Album. But that's not the story.
So Roy McElroy, let me give it to you. So
Roy McElroy said over the weekend that he has quote
earned the right to do whatever he wants, he said,
including skipping the media availability. So what is your verdict
(15:31):
on this? Now McElroy has tap danced around this, he's
danced around this, but what is your verdict on this one?
So after a minutes long, minutes long malor deliberation, I
went to the jury room, the jury box there, and
we deliberated the voices. In my head, we have ruled
(15:53):
guilty for Roy McElroy guilty on felony douche baggery. Felony douchebaggery. Yeah,
that's it now, Rory. And maybe I'm wrong on this.
We don't talk golf much, but I believe Roy is
one of the faces of golf, one of the few
golfers that has enough brand value where people know who
(16:14):
he is, and he's been around for years and all
that stuff. So he's whether he likes it or not.
It appears he doesn't like it, although he likes the perks.
Then you don't get to cherry pick. This is always
a thing. Like early in the NBA playoffs, I use
the NBA, Like Tyreus Halliburton had a bad game, he
(16:34):
didn't talk to the media because he's a coward. Traymond Green,
there's some controversy didn't talk to the media coward. But yeah,
when these guys have a big game, they're out there
in a tuxedo and they're tap dancing. So if you
want that, then you got to talk when you're not
doing well. Kind of bobbous and let me be clear.
(16:55):
Oh the media is evil. He maybe hate the media.
It's sports media, right, five good minutes of Roy McElroy
going over it's not gonna kill you, it's not cross examination.
You're not under oath, Okay, you're not. And the golf media,
and I've covered some golf in the past, and I'm
(17:17):
sure it's no different now. The golf media they would
literally start through a bubble bath and if the temperature's
not just right, they'll put all the water out and
start again. And then they'll massage your shoulders and they'll
lick between your toes. They'll do all that right, they'll
do all of that. But you look at the legends
(17:38):
of golf, like Jack Nicholas never skipped even Tiger Woods
for all, and he was terse for all the stuff
Tiger did. And there was a lot when he sucked
at a time you cannot suck. He faced the music, right,
I don't remember. Maybe he did. I don't remember him
skipping out other than with some injury. And so Roy McElroy,
(18:02):
who also loves to tell you about how he's on
the moral moral majority and he knows what's right and
wrong and all this stuff, and he'll preach. When he
does talk, he'll preach and preach and preach and preach.
And the sanctity of the game of golf, and we
must save the game of golf. And what Roy McRoy
(18:24):
did with these quotes here, what he did is give
us a line, a line that should be bronzed. It
should be bronzed and mounted in the entitled Athlete Hall
of Fame. I don't know where the entitled Athlete Hall
of Fame is? Is it in La Miami?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
We should start that the entitled Athlete Hall of Fame.
All the prima donnas and divas go right in there,
and we put Roy McElroy in there. But that quote,
I feel I've earned the right to do whatever I want.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Screw you.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I'm great, you're not, and go away. That's essentially what
it is. Right that he treats the PGA Tour like
it's his own personal country club, and no guests are
allowed unless I say so, right, and.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
No questions going to be you know who I am.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm Roy McElroy. You can't ask me a question. You're
not allowed on the other side of the velvet ropes,
So screw you all.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It is the Bean Mahlor Show. Now, if you'd like
to be part you can join us right now Salo
at eight seven seven ninety nine. Fives on the phones
are still clunky, a lot of clunkiness. I mean, I
guess the phone companies don't work on the weekends to
fix anything shocking.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
But you're gonna attempt to get through.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
We have had some some hot and cold activity with
the phones.

But whether or not you call or not, we have
plenty of stuff.

hour from now. You can be part of this show,

and cold here there some some are working, some or nut.
(20:58):
I don't know. We're supposed to get a contestant if

than the FSR Tech Queen and you are motivated to call?
You got to call right now because the game is
a few minutes away. Do that and if we get
someone to get through on the broken phones, we'll play
the game.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
If not, we won't.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine. Also,
it's a big hour for bits, so have the Mallard
Milita feud again. All of this, all of this depending
on the phone system actually working. Otherwise we will do
caller free radio because the phone company decided not to
(21:40):
work over the weekend and fix the issue.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
That they have.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
And you can also interact on X that is working
at ben malor that's at ben malor m A L E. R.
If you don't know how to spell Ben, you're an
idiot and lorrainea FSR Tech Queen, and I also say
hello to Coop at a Bronco fan yours cannon. We'll
be used against you in the court of sports talk radio.
(22:08):
Back to it, all right, and on and on and
on it goes. And so you're saying there's a chance,
you're saying there's a chance. There's some news. Over the
weekend we heard the ben Gals. Have they traded Trey
Hendrickson away? No, not yet, However, there is said to
(22:29):
be a last minute negotiation as they attempt to close
the gap in Cincinnati and get hendricks inside.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
If not, then he will likely be traded or at the.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Very least hold out of training camp, which is gonna
start about a month from now. Now, the big story
is the trade of Rafael Devers. The Spin Spin Spin,
Spin Spin coming out of Boston on this trade, which
is kind of obviously people are saying, what's spin and
it's they're making this up, but I only they are.
(23:04):
They're they're leaking the Red Sox to their useful idiots
in the media that the organization felt that Rafael Devers.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Was not showing the proper level of commitment.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Considering the size of the contract, meaning we paid you
three hundred million dollars, what the f are you doing? You?
Prima Donna schmuck. I think I added to that a
little bit. But yeah, so they're claiming to listen all
the drama and see the problem is that Devers I
(23:37):
called out management and that was that's a no, no,
that's taboo. You can't do it, even though he's been
smashing the baseball when he's played hit a home run
his final game as a Red Sox. Let's go to
the phones. Let's say, hello, who do we have. Let's
go to Greg, who's in Florida? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Greg? Welcome?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Hey, good morning. Yeah, you were talking about what's the name?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yes, Roy McElroy, who is so entitled? I don't know.
I don't have to talk to them.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
How would you like? How would you like to be
his sponsor? How pumped up aday about that? What you
don't want to go in front of the camera and
get our name out? We'll pay you millions of dollars
for it. Number one, he's a punk for that.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I know, I know you're you're right.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, that's a great that's a great point. I didn't
mention that.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Business man as a businessman. How smart is that? Listen?
I've got two words for It's called euro trash. But also, wow,
think about this, this is even worse. All his buddies,
his friends, Oh we're comrades. He ripped everybody that went
to live, rip them all, yes, punk to go for
money for cryingout.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah, that's what I was saying. He got on.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
There is virtue signaling, and he's got the moral he's
got the moral high ground. Roy mclroy, all that, and he's.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
As intelligent as a gnat and tactful as a baboon.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Oh you're good like this.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
This guy's enrolled.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Man, I'm telling you, brother, he's the best. He's the
best that Europe can send over here. You're hero trash.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
All right, all right, very nice, very diplomatic. Thank you, Greg,
Are you too? I have a wonderful day. Mike the
e lepreca on what's going on? Mike the Leprechaun in Boston, Hello,
mister Leprechaun.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
All right, I have a lot to say. But that's
what Greg started off. But he finished bad, We're not
I'm not euro crash.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
He didn't say you were euro he said, Roy mclroy.
I don't know. He's got issues.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
What Okay, So Rory has changed. Yes, he won the
MA JS and he was all over the green jackets
a diva and another diva is obviously Raphael Devers. Do
you think his trade was similar to the Luca one
or let's say about the same.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well, the thing that blows me in I don't understand this.
I'm not that smart. So maybe somebody explains to me
the story. And I don't know if this is true
or not. I'm in catching up up on it. They're
claiming the Red Sox only talk to the giants that
they did.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Why what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Why would you not contact You don't contact everyone, but
you picked five to ten teams and see what you
can get, Like, why would they only? It makes no sense?
And then listen, they obviously wanted to get rid of devs.
That's fine. There's this conspiracy about Liverpool adding some player
and that's why they're trying to get rid of of devors.
(26:30):
I'm not a soccer guy, so I don't know about that.
But here's the thing, like you got garbage in return
for them, but you didn't get anything of real values
like additioned by subtraction. That's their argument. Nice you want
to talk?
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Are you big timing? Me. Is that what you're doing?
I don't need the sassy I get that way. What's
wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Lorena brought my name up in vain. By the way,
I would love to have a rematch, and Ben, you
have to have me back a bunch of availability.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
On that fourth week of de R to wri forth.
I am trying to go.

Speaker 6 (36:52):
That is the top.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Answer forty points. It's Maler Militia cute.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Well, there's good news and bad news. The good news
is we wait the imaging. Bad news is there's only
one line working. So normally this is a two player game.
And I know that the phones are messed up because
Marcel in Brooklyn, Marcel and Brooklyn is desperately trying to
get in and he's he's having some issues.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
With the phones. Marcella.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
He has no life. He just calls over and over again.
So if he can't get in, you know, it's it's
completely messed up. So hopefully they'll fix it. I'd be nice,
but they guess they don't work on the weekends. Either
that or it costs more to have it fixed.
Speaker 7 (37:35):
You think that might be a coch Yeah, like when
you take your dog to the vet on the weekends
or overnights.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah. The worst is I've had my car breakdown on
a holiday weekend and then you got to wait till tuesday.
Speaker 7 (37:46):
Have you ever been arrested on a holiday weekend?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Let me check. No, I've not been arrested. You have
you been arrested on me?
Speaker 7 (37:53):
Went out till tuesday?
Speaker 4 (37:56):
Why don't you tell this story, Lauren?
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Have you've been arrested on a holiday weekend?
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Raine?
Speaker 6 (37:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
No, in a small town in Oregon or in the
big city?
Speaker 6 (38:03):
Man?
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I know?
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Really? Yeah? Interesting? And he used to identify as a
woman named Lorena back in the day. Is that possibly
the case? Maybe?
Speaker 4 (38:12):
No, No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Already for the for the story yet on the air.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
Now I'm telling you all the truths.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, you're leaving some key parts out though, apparently. But
there's a there's a backstory of the arena. Interesting.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
You're you've got a dark side, is that correct?
Speaker 1 (38:27):
There's a day really interesting? All right, very nice.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
So I saw Ronald Acuna Junior the Braves.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Now, he was very excited to see by the way,
Bridge got smoked by the Rockies on Sunday. It was
a bad weekend for them. But one of the longtime teammates,
Orlando Arcia, playing for the Rockies, and this went viral
over the weekends.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
I don't know if you saw it there.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
He was very excited here to greet his former teammate
the Braves and Rockies playing this weekend. During the first
inning one of their games, there h the TV cameras
caught Ronald Acuna jun You're greeting his former teammate and
they get hit a little brief hug, right, brief hug
and all that and uh and then Kuna.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
Was so happy that he did a cup check. And
you know what a cup check is.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
I think we all know what.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Yah.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Yeah, make sure you want a cup yeah right there,
A little low blow that is a low blow, proper protection,
and I was it was pretty good though, because our
I guess he might not have been wearing a cup
because he doubled down. Although even if you are wearing one,
if it'd hits you, it still can. It's not like
it protects you from from all all injury. But it
was pretty funny. And I flashed back to my youth.
(39:40):
And there's a show when I was a kid called
this Week in Baseball, and I wish I can have
like mel Allen come back from the dead and TWM
notes around the majors. The braves are punching up on
the rockies, just like the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
It was.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
It was pretty funny. It was more of a visual
thing than an audio thing, but I thought it was good.
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
The line
Playball said, the umpirates our number four, our number four,
ready to go and talking bays ball. What is your
level of excitement for sho hey Otani taking the mound
for the first time with the Dodgers in a real
game this week? Also pirates out through there. Andrew McCutcheon,
(00:21):
former MVP, said on social media recently that a Major
League Baseball rep told him the baseball's being used this
season are different, meaning they don't have as much juice.
How do you even respond to this? We'll talk about that.
And Roy McElroy finished tied for nineteenth place at the
US Open. McElroy also said over the weekend that he
(00:42):
has earned the right to do whatever he wants, including
skipping media availability. What's your verdict on this one. We'll
talk about all that and more right now here. It
is our number four. Have a wonderful Monday, the sixteenth
day of June. Here's our four. Don't call it a comeback.
(01:03):
No no, no, I can go something else, but don't call
it a comeback. Welcome. In the beginning of another hour
of The Ben Malord Show.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
We are in the air everywhere, flying the friendly audio
skies as we hang in that Creativity Lab, which is
far far away, but you get so close coast to coast,
border the border, and meon on the vast and enchantingly
(01:33):
powerful microphones of FSR.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Emm neating live from the microphones of FSR, and they
are so powerful, so enchantingly powerful, and we are hanging
out here. We have the gift, the Gift of gab
as approved by Hector. Hector the Marine, he knows who
he is. And this portion of the Ben Malord Show
(01:58):
made possible by tire Rakro forty years, tire Rack has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free, backed by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation, tire raq dot com the Way tire Buying show.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Me.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
So our lead this hour is from baseball now. The
big story in baseball I we've been yapping about here
the trade the Red Sox have said bye bye to
Rafael Devers. We did a full mouth monologue on that trade.
That was our leader, our leadoff hitter, and I don't
like to repeat myself, but you can go back here.
The podcast, including the Malor report card is raphaeld Devers
(02:43):
given away to the Giants for some one broken down pitcher,
one pitcher who projects to be a middle of the
rotation pitcher, a guy in a ball and a guy
in rookie ball.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
That is a giveaway situation, is what it is.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
But our lead, this our instrument baseball, not the Rafael demonstrate.
We can talk about that more if you want. As
that sucked the air out of the room. And another
story that came down the pike on Father's Day, the
Dodgers made some headlines we learned.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
If you didn't see this, perhaps not.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
The Dodgers made the decision that show he Otani is
going to retire psych no show Haltani is going to pitch.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Oh, thank god, thank heavens.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, so the chatter was Otani isn't going to pitch
until after the All Star break. Well turns out O'tani
is going to be the starting pitcher for the Doyers tonight,
Monday Night, Monday Night. Don't get too excited. Twenty one months,
twenty one months after the elbow went snap crackle, pop,
(03:53):
Otani will return to the mound.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
There.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Twenty one months later, he will become a two way
player for the Dodgers. He is set to be the opener.
He will be the starting pitcher, the opener in a
bullpen game, and the Dodgers play the Padres in an
NL West showdown. So let us discuss the question, what
is your level of excitement? What is your level of
(04:18):
excitement for shoe Al Tani and his pitching debut as
a Dodger.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Of course, used to pitch for the Angels.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But now he's back on the saddle again, back in
the saddle there with the Dodgers. So I've got religious revival,
Toby Keith and Bronze, and we will combine all of
these things together and we'll jump on the merry go
round and go round and round and round and round.
The merry go round, goes round and round, all right.
(04:46):
So to kick off here the breathless report. I always
getting kick out of the breathless reporting from the fan
boys in the baseball media. Oh they're so excited.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Be still my beating heart.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Tani is here to save the day on the mound.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
My god.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Unless that's not the case. Now in the Otani world,
I think we're all just if those of us the
watch baseball, it's Otani's world, we're just observing it from
the side of the road. We're just looking from the
side of the road. So Otani I could see in
my head. He goes out there and he throws three pitches.
The San Diego batters swing at all three pitches. The
(05:26):
crowd at Chavez Ravine goes nuts. They go gaga and
they're gonna faint, like they're at a Taylor Swift concert
and she sings shake it Off and everyone goes nuts.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Just like that.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It's going to be a spectacle. I cannot stand bullpen games.
It is unbecoming of a team, the stature of the
Dodgers to pitch bullpen games. But they work. I don't
care if they work. That's something that Tampa Bay raised
do or should only do. And the Milwaukee Brewers not
teams like the Dodgers and the Red Sox and the
Yankee It's ridiculous. It's the dumbest thing in that gutless,
(06:04):
spineless Commissioner rob manfraud allowing that it's a joke, it's
a bad product, and you're missing out on a major
opportunity here, and you're allowing the lunatics in baseball, the
lunatic fringe to control a game for one hundred years.
It was all right, this is starting pitcher. It's the
(06:25):
biggest thing. And they allowed because of the wussification of baseball.
They allowed this disease to to take over baseball. So, oh,
I gotta do it this way? Are you out of
an abundance of caution? So embarrassing, so ambarrazzing. But get
back to the points. So as far as Otani is concerned,
and at the game tonight, I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
He is now the face of baseball. It's not Aaron.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Judge, much to the dismay of the Yankee fans, but
it's Otani, the international man of Mystery Show Otani. And oh,
by the way, not only does he bombs, he can
throw strikes and all that stuff. And he'll be doing
it at Tchavez Ravine and all this stuff. And then
knowing that Dave Roberts Dodgers, the way these guys operate,
(07:10):
I said three pitches, he'll throw like eight, nine, ten
pitches and then that'll be that. Out of an abundance
of caution, we must check O'tani out of the game.
It is going to be biblical though. The media coverage
the whole thing and it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter
whether or not Otani pitches five pitches or fifteen pitches.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
It is going to be treated like a religious revival.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
The phoenix is risen right from the ashes, right, Otani
rises from the ashes just like the phoenix, and Dada
here he is now. I am generally a pessimist. It
makes for a good talk shows. Not that I'm a
good talk shows, but I'm a pessimist when it comes
to these kind of things. And here's why. When I
(07:55):
look at Otani, he is become an A plus plus
plus position player, not even he didnt play a position
DH mostly all right, but he's an A plus plus slugger.
Otani as a pitcher, what is he realistically? Is he
like a B pitcher? I think that's about right, maybe
B minus. He's that level pitcher, which isn't bad. He's
(08:19):
not an average pitcher at some moments back in the
day with the Angels. But like I said, I'm a
pessimiss when it comes to this. And in Anaheim there
were flashes with Otani on the mount. He won fifteen
games one year and as he ari was pretty good,
he didn't pitch all that often. The offense though, that's
(08:41):
the razzle dazzle, right, that's where it's at. That's the
wow fact of the pitching. And now he's coming off
another medical procedure, so you know, how good is he
going to be barely pitch what once every six days
or seven days whatever the angels?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
What's it going to be like? Now?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Furthermore, we headed Pittsburg, PA. And this is not not
a reference to Paul Skins, the rare and appropriate, rare
and appropriate Bucko's reference without Paul Skins being involved. That's
the phenom of the Pirates. Well, Andrew McCutcheon made some
(09:21):
news member him, Hey, he won the MVP one year.
You remember him. No, he's washed up, but he's still
adding to his pension by playing for the Pirates. So
Andrew McCutcheon, the former nl MVP, said recently that he
said this on social media that a Major League Baseball rep,
some high falutint under the under the radar representative of baseball,
(09:46):
some faceless rep told him that the baseballs being used
this season are different. Yes, where we heard this story,
I don't know. Every year my entire adult life, we've
heard the story the being doctored with by Major League
Baseball hands on balls, hands on balls. So McCutcheon he
(10:08):
went into this description. He talked about the higher seams,
more drag, what a drag man, more drag. The ball
isn't flying, and the league knows it, they're aware of it,
and so they response to Major League Baseball. The response
(10:30):
to Major League Baseball was there's nothing we can do.
That's it, nothing we can do. Sorry, not sorry, and
said we can't do anyth until next year.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
The balls are the balls and that's all.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
They are just balls, and we can't change the balls
because that's what they are. So that part of it,
and how do you respond to that, right when a major,
multi billion dollar conglomerate in the industrial complex of American sports. Yeah,
the balls are messed up, but there's nothing we can
do about it.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, that is the Toby Keith song. Wacky Tobacci is
what that is, right. I mean, we're not talking about
some random fan theory where some dude gets on like
Reddit and writes a bunch of stuff about I believe
that'll spin right and it's been changed because of X,
Y and Z. No. No, no, this is a major
(11:28):
league baseball player who's got some Cachet, who won an MVP,
A susion veteran who is saying, listen, the league admitted it.
They admitted this is what's going on. It's the way
it is. That's it. We'll take you behind the curtain.
And when the player said, well, why don't we change this?
You know, why don't we why don't we change this
(11:50):
other little bit, Baseball said, well, we're aware of the issue,
but there's nothing we can do. Sorry, not sorry, that's
pretty much it, right. And then now again, this is
not something that is just out of left field. Every season,
depending on if there's a lot of home runs or
(12:13):
less home runs.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
It's always the balls.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It's always the balls, and so it's not new. It's
it's like the we're asking a golfer. If you want
to go up to a golfer and you go up
to that gallery and say, listen, I want you to
play with a different ball, different type of ball, every
(12:38):
every round, right, or every hole, just every hole, and
you tell them averaging, Yeah, I just hope you just
adjust on your own, just figure it out, you know,
and with eight million different movements or whatever, but you
just do it. But the manipulation, that's a bigger story here,
(13:00):
the manipulation of the big time sports in the industrial
complex of sports, which are pretty much across the board.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Every league futses.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Around in one way or another.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
The and b A. Now what they do over there,
they do points of emphasis.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
That's right. They do points of emphasis for the officials,
and that helps determine the outcome of games. Certain players
get called for penalties, meaning fouls, more often than other
players in certain situations, and it becomes problematic. NFL also
they have points of emphasis. We're gonna call holding. We're
not gonna call holding, but you can call holding on
(13:40):
every play. And we're gonna have a strategic pass interference
call to help out the Washington football team so they
can get closer to score some points. All that stuff.
Baseball they futs around with the balls right now, last thing.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
We pivot now to golf. You heard me right in golf.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
That's right. The US Open. Did you watch any of this? Now,
I'm not gonna do a US Open monologue. It wrapped
up over the weekend and someone named JJ Spawn the Spawn.
This guy was the only golfer that was under par.
He won four point three million and some big silver
(14:25):
trophy thing, the US Open trophy and a gold medal,
not an Olympic gold medal, but a gold medal from
Jack Nicholas. So congratulations. Now that is not much of
a talker, A nondescript golfer we've never heard of, not
that interesting for talk radio purposes. It's not so the
(14:46):
story that caught my attention here, and we know the
better stories of losing locker room. So how about Rory McElroy. Now,
Rory McElroy one of the big names in golf, and
he didn't win a major somewhat recently. So he finished
tied for nineteenth. He was seven over, which you know,
I'm not a I'm a scratch golfer. Not good at
(15:07):
seven over at the US Album. But that's not the story.
So Roy McElroy, let me give it to you. So
Roy McElroy said over the weekend that he has quote
earned the right to do whatever he wants, he said,
including skipping the media availability. So what is your verdict
(15:31):
on this? Now McElroy has tap danced around this, he's
danced around this, but what is your verdict on this one?
So after a minutes long, minutes long malor deliberation, I
went to the jury room, the jury box there, and
we deliberated the voices. In my head, we have ruled
(15:53):
guilty for Roy McElroy guilty on felony douche baggery. Felony douchebaggery. Yeah,
that's it now, Rory. And maybe I'm wrong on this.
We don't talk golf much, but I believe Roy is
one of the faces of golf, one of the few
golfers that has enough brand value where people know who
(16:14):
he is, and he's been around for years and all
that stuff. So he's whether he likes it or not.
It appears he doesn't like it, although he likes the perks.
Then you don't get to cherry pick. This is always
a thing. Like early in the NBA playoffs, I use
the NBA, Like Tyreus Halliburton had a bad game, he
(16:34):
didn't talk to the media because he's a coward. Traymond Green,
there's some controversy didn't talk to the media coward. But yeah,
when these guys have a big game, they're out there
in a tuxedo and they're tap dancing. So if you
want that, then you got to talk when you're not
doing well. Kind of bobbous and let me be clear.
(16:55):
Oh the media is evil. He maybe hate the media.
It's sports media, right, five good minutes of Roy McElroy
going over it's not gonna kill you, it's not cross examination.
You're not under oath, Okay, you're not. And the golf media,
and I've covered some golf in the past, and I'm
(17:17):
sure it's no different now. The golf media they would
literally start through a bubble bath and if the temperature's
not just right, they'll put all the water out and
start again. And then they'll massage your shoulders and they'll
lick between your toes. They'll do all that right, they'll
do all of that. But you look at the legends
(17:38):
of golf, like Jack Nicholas never skipped even Tiger Woods
for all, and he was terse for all the stuff
Tiger did. And there was a lot when he sucked
at a time you cannot suck. He faced the music, right,
I don't remember. Maybe he did. I don't remember him
skipping out other than with some injury. And so Roy McElroy,
(18:02):
who also loves to tell you about how he's on
the moral moral majority and he knows what's right and
wrong and all this stuff, and he'll preach. When he
does talk, he'll preach and preach and preach and preach.
And the sanctity of the game of golf, and we
must save the game of golf. And what Roy McRoy
(18:24):
did with these quotes here, what he did is give
us a line, a line that should be bronzed. It
should be bronzed and mounted in the entitled Athlete Hall
of Fame. I don't know where the entitled Athlete Hall
of Fame is? Is it in La Miami?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
We should start that the entitled Athlete Hall of Fame.
All the prima donnas and divas go right in there,
and we put Roy McElroy in there. But that quote,
I feel I've earned the right to do whatever I want.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Screw you.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I'm great, you're not, and go away. That's essentially what
it is. Right that he treats the PGA Tour like
it's his own personal country club, and no guests are
allowed unless I say so, right, and.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
No questions going to be you know who I am.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm Roy McElroy. You can't ask me a question. You're
not allowed on the other side of the velvet ropes,
So screw you all.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It is the Bean Mahlor Show. Now, if you'd like
to be part you can join us right now Salo
at eight seven seven ninety nine. Fives on the phones
are still clunky, a lot of clunkiness. I mean, I
guess the phone companies don't work on the weekends to
fix anything shocking.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
But you're gonna attempt to get through.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
We have had some some hot and cold activity with
the phones.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
But whether or not you call or not, we have
plenty of stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Talk about eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine, also
on X at Ben mallor that's at Ben Maler if
you'd like to be part of the program. We work
our way through the overnight, now straight ahead, straight ahead,
(20:20):
So you're saying there's a chance, you're saying, there's a chance,
we'll get to that, and we.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Will do it next.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Bill Miller and you. The Red Eye Flight continues through
the overnight. Prepare for a landing in about half an
hour from now. You can be part of this show,
and there is a game. Although phonees have been hot
and cold here there some some are working, some or nut.
(20:58):
I don't know. We're supposed to get a contestant if
you'd like to call up and play. Are you smarter
than the FSR Tech Queen and you are motivated to call?
You got to call right now because the game is
a few minutes away. Do that and if we get
someone to get through on the broken phones, we'll play
the game.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
If not, we won't.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine. Also,
it's a big hour for bits, so have the Mallard
Milita feud again. All of this, all of this depending
on the phone system actually working. Otherwise we will do
caller free radio because the phone company decided not to
(21:40):
work over the weekend and fix the issue.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
That they have.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
And you can also interact on X that is working
at ben malor that's at ben malor m A L E. R.
If you don't know how to spell Ben, you're an
idiot and lorrainea FSR Tech Queen, and I also say
hello to Coop at a Bronco fan yours cannon. We'll
be used against you in the court of sports talk radio.
(22:08):
Back to it, all right, and on and on and
on it goes. And so you're saying there's a chance,
you're saying there's a chance. There's some news. Over the
weekend we heard the ben Gals. Have they traded Trey
Hendrickson away? No, not yet, However, there is said to
(22:29):
be a last minute negotiation as they attempt to close
the gap in Cincinnati and get hendricks inside.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
If not, then he will likely be traded or at the.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Very least hold out of training camp, which is gonna
start about a month from now. Now, the big story
is the trade of Rafael Devers. The Spin Spin Spin,
Spin Spin coming out of Boston on this trade, which
is kind of obviously people are saying, what's spin and
it's they're making this up, but I only they are.
(23:04):
They're they're leaking the Red Sox to their useful idiots
in the media that the organization felt that Rafael Devers.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Was not showing the proper level of commitment.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Considering the size of the contract, meaning we paid you
three hundred million dollars, what the f are you doing? You?
Prima Donna schmuck. I think I added to that a
little bit. But yeah, so they're claiming to listen all
the drama and see the problem is that Devers I
(23:37):
called out management and that was that's a no, no,
that's taboo. You can't do it, even though he's been
smashing the baseball when he's played hit a home run
his final game as a Red Sox. Let's go to
the phones. Let's say, hello, who do we have. Let's
go to Greg, who's in Florida? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Greg? Welcome?
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Hey, good morning. Yeah, you were talking about what's the name?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yes, Roy McElroy, who is so entitled? I don't know.
I don't have to talk to them.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
How would you like? How would you like to be
his sponsor? How pumped up aday about that? What you
don't want to go in front of the camera and
get our name out? We'll pay you millions of dollars
for it. Number one, he's a punk for that.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I know, I know you're you're right.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, that's a great that's a great point. I didn't
mention that.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Business man as a businessman. How smart is that? Listen?
I've got two words for It's called euro trash. But also, wow,
think about this, this is even worse. All his buddies,
his friends, Oh we're comrades. He ripped everybody that went
to live, rip them all, yes, punk to go for
money for cryingout.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah, that's what I was saying. He got on.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
There is virtue signaling, and he's got the moral he's
got the moral high ground. Roy mclroy, all that, and he's.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
As intelligent as a gnat and tactful as a baboon.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Oh you're good like this.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
This guy's enrolled.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Man, I'm telling you, brother, he's the best. He's the
best that Europe can send over here. You're hero trash.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
All right, all right, very nice, very diplomatic. Thank you, Greg,
Are you too? I have a wonderful day. Mike the
e lepreca on what's going on? Mike the Leprechaun in Boston, Hello,
mister Leprechaun.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
All right, I have a lot to say. But that's
what Greg started off. But he finished bad, We're not
I'm not euro crash.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
He didn't say you were euro he said, Roy mclroy.
I don't know. He's got issues.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
What Okay, So Rory has changed. Yes, he won the
MA JS and he was all over the green jackets
a diva and another diva is obviously Raphael Devers. Do
you think his trade was similar to the Luca one
or let's say about the same.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well, the thing that blows me in I don't understand this.
I'm not that smart. So maybe somebody explains to me
the story. And I don't know if this is true
or not. I'm in catching up up on it. They're
claiming the Red Sox only talk to the giants that
they did.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Why what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Why would you not contact You don't contact everyone, but
you picked five to ten teams and see what you
can get, Like, why would they only? It makes no sense?
And then listen, they obviously wanted to get rid of devs.
That's fine. There's this conspiracy about Liverpool adding some player
and that's why they're trying to get rid of of devors.
(26:30):
I'm not a soccer guy, so I don't know about that.
But here's the thing, like you got garbage in return
for them, but you didn't get anything of real values
like additioned by subtraction. That's their argument. Nice you want
to talk?
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Are you big timing? Me. Is that what you're doing?
I don't need the sassy I get that way. What's
wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Lorena brought my name up in vain. By the way,
I would love to have a rematch, and Ben, you
have to have me back a bunch of availability.

So if he can't get in, you know, it's it's
completely messed up. So hopefully they'll fix it. I'd be nice,
but they guess they don't work on the weekends. Either
that or it costs more to have it fixed.
Speaker 7 (37:35):
You think that might be a coch Yeah, like when
you take your dog to the vet on the weekends

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, you're leaving some key parts out though, apparently. But
there's a there's a backstory of the arena. Interesting.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
You're you've got a dark side, is that correct?
Speaker 1 (38:27):
There's a day really interesting? All right, very nice.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
So I saw Ronald Acuna Junior the Braves.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Now, he was very excited to see by the way,
Bridge got smoked by the Rockies on Sunday. It was
a bad weekend for them. But one of the longtime teammates,
Orlando Arcia, playing for the Rockies, and this went viral
over the weekends.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
I don't know if you saw it there.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
He was very excited here to greet his former teammate
the Braves and Rockies playing this weekend. During the first
inning one of their games, there h the TV cameras
caught Ronald Acuna jun You're greeting his former teammate and
they get hit a little brief hug, right, brief hug
and all that and uh and then Kuna.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
Was so happy that he did a cup check. And
you know what a cup check is.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
I think we all know what.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Yah.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Yeah, make sure you want a cup yeah right there,
A little low blow that is a low blow, proper protection,
and I was it was pretty good though, because our
I guess he might not have been wearing a cup
because he doubled down. Although even if you are wearing one,
if it'd hits you, it still can. It's not like
it protects you from from all all injury. But it
was pretty funny. And I flashed back to my youth.
(39:40):
And there's a show when I was a kid called
this Week in Baseball, and I wish I can have
like mel Allen come back from the dead and TWM
notes around the majors. The braves are punching up on
the rockies, just like the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
It was.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
It was pretty funny. It was more of a visual
thing than an audio thing, but I thought it was good.
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
