Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, It's our dumb per four hour four ready to go?
Does Major League Baseball need the band? The gimmicky Yankee
pitcher Nestor Cortes pump fake wind up fans calling for that? Also,
how did you react to the Dodgers catcher Will Smith
calling one of the Padres outfielders kind of irrelevant? And

(00:21):
we'll react to John Henry and Tom Werner. Those are
the owners of the Boston baseball team not showing up.
The former Red Sox executive Larry Luchino's funeral. What is
the word for that. We'll go there as well. All
of it's coming your way right now here. It is
our number four.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's putting a.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Different spin on it, and then there is putting a
different spin on it. Welcome, In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are in the
air everywhares we test the waters.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
And play make Believe coast the coast.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Border to border and beyond on the mast and ear
poppingly powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from the conclusion
a foregone conclusion. We're broadcasting live from the tire rack
dot com studios Tyraq dot Com. Will help you get

(01:22):
there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Kathy and Madison is
blown away by that tire iraq dot com the way
tire buying should be. As we begin anew this, I

(01:42):
want to go back to baseball and some good stuff
going on there in the sport of baseball. It's early
in the season, teams are still trying to figure things out,
but our lead does come from that sport. We had
some mound shenanigans that have caused a hullabaloo fun word
to say blue. If you didn't see this, maybe you

(02:02):
don't know what I'm talking about. You were watching the golf.
There was not a lot of drama in the golf.
Maybe you didn't see what happened to the baseball. But
the Yankees were playing the Cleveland baseball team and they
have a pitcher named Nestor Cortes.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Nasty Nestor. Oh that's offensive.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Nasty Nestor Cortes, and he opened up a debate unintentionally
on the bach bock bock bark, the bach rule, after
he used a very unique pitching motion. Now I'm gonna
try to describe this. Cortes uncourked a motion in the

(02:40):
game against the Cleveland baseball team on Sunday, formerly known
as the Indians.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
But that's offensive, so they got rid of it.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
But since this is an audio platform and we cannot
show you the images, I will describe to you in
great detail to help you out what happened. So Cortes
swung his leg, he missed the mound by a hair,
by a grain of dirt. He missed the mound. He

(03:08):
then threw a pump fake up against the Cleveland batter
and then made an actual throwing motion, unlocking the double
pump fake Yeah, double pump. So he did that. The
battery actually made contact on this for gaysey delivery and
foul the ball off. Now, the video of the play

(03:29):
went viral, the people were debating what it all means.
Of course, many determined immediately that it must be banned.
It must be outlawed. How dare you so? I wanted
to talk about this the question does Major League Baseball
need to ban the Yankees pitcher Nest Cortez pump fake
wind up? So I've got loophole, haymaker, and rubber stamp,

(03:54):
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to make a life, which is what
these people that want this thing band need to get
a light. They need to get a life, all right,
go ahead and get a life and come back, all right.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
So to lead off here to answer the question answers, No.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
They don't need to be banned.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Ignore the faux vortex of outrage, the overreaction machine that
has popped up. I do find it amusing. I don't
mind getting worked up into a ladder. I get paid
to do it four hours a day and do the
podcast on the weekend.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I get worked up into a ladder. But to get
worked up into.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
A ladder over this, of all things, right that, here's
a guy.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
I look.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Here's the way I look at I'm gonna go with
that deep, not that deep right on the surface this
picture Cortez. He found a loophole in the back rule.
This is something that should be appreciated.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Not banned.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I look at it the way I look at the
tushy pushy in the end of the The NFL is like, oh,
we got to get rid of the touch push And
then the only one that could really do it was
the Eagles. And then they couldn't even do it that
well at the end of last season. And so the
bock the bak is defined, not to bore you with
the rules, but the definition from Major League Baseball the
bark an illegal motion on the mound that the umpire

(05:20):
deems to be deceitful to the runners. Well, since a
nasty nester Cortes did not have any runners on base,
he didn't plant the swinging leg. It was not a
buck by the letter of the law.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
It was not a back.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
It wasn't It doesn't matter anyway, because the Yankee pitcher
has been a dime a dozen among starting.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Pitchers so far.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
This season's got an ERA of four and a half.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
And while we certainly like the uniqueness and we want
more of this, the kind of Bobby is here, you
have to get more people out than he's been doing here.
But I'm all for uniqueness, and I'm of the age.
When I was a kid, you know, we didn't have
the modern technology. We were in the Stone Age, and
we would all do impersonations of the goofy batting stances

(06:08):
of different people. There's a guy that has made a
career out of that, the batting stance guy that I
actually met. He listens to the show, he admitted to it,
and he's just as a middle aged dude. He just
does impersonations of old school batting stances. And there's not
that many unique batting stances because everything has to be
micro managed. But in terms of pitching, it's the same way.

(06:30):
But over the years, who doesn't like the shimmy from
Johnny Cuato Johnny Cuato shimmy. And you know, years ago
we had Fernando Valenzuela who would look up to the
heavens before delivering a pitch. And the side armors, the sidewinders,
the submarine pitchers, Mark Iicorn, Dan Quisenberry from a different generation.

(06:52):
They've been all this since then. But uniqueness stand out.
But if you don't dominate and you do things that
are unorthodox, the baseball industry spits a loogie at you
and they're disgusted with you. Now furthermore, the San Diego
Baseball team, I'm surprised Poppy hasn't called back. The San
Diego Baseball team won the weekend series over the Doyers

(07:17):
and the team from Los Angeles, but there were some
fireworks on Saturday after a two hour rain delay. Yeah,
it doesn't rain occasionally in LA. After two hour raindlay,
the benches cleared. It was a sticky situation for outfielder
Jerrickson Profar, and he was pitched up and in now
after the game. This is the reason I'm bringing this up.

(07:38):
So the Dodgers have a catcher who they gave a
ten year contract to. Who gives a catcher a ten
year contract the Dodgers because they have a license to
print money. So Dodgers catcher Will Smith, the fresh prince
of Chavez Ravine, told David.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Vasse, I know him.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
He said, I don't know why we would throw I
would have thrown at him meeting Profar, He's kind of irrelevant.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Close quote.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
So how did you react to the Dodgers catcher there
Will Smith calling out a Padre player, Jerkson Profar as
kind of irrelevant.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
So I loved it. I'm a talk showst of course
I loved it. What do you think I didn't love it?
Here's what I will I will say about this.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
So my position on this is the vector field malfunction,
Like there's a field around these guys to speaking cliches
and riddles and not give a straight answer and that
vector field malfunctioned, and Will Smith actually gave a proper
answer what he really thought of Jerkson Profar and it

(08:42):
was wonderful and he delivered a truth.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Haymaker.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
It reminds me of one of the great lines by
the late Tommy the Sorda, who had so many great lines,
and one that did not get as much attention as
the opinion of Kingman's performance, Tommy the Sword of the Podres.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
It was actually a Dodger Podre series.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
And this guy Kirk Bovatka Vaqua had taken a shot
and called Lesorta fat little Italian, and Lesorta went nuts,
and he said when he pitched, he would have a
pitch against guys like Bavoqua. He would have a limo,
an f and limousine sent to make sure the blank

(09:21):
blank made it to the blank blank lineup so he
could kick the blank blank's ass any day.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Of the way.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
It was. It was so good.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
It's on it's on the internet on YouTube. You can
check it Outlesorta on Bavoqua. Anyway, That's what I thought.
That's like Will Smith's like, Hey, I don't this guy
sucks man. I get a damn Limo to make sure
jerks and profiles in the lineup. All right, last thing,
and this will be a big local story today in Boston.
It's not so much of a national story. But I
like it because it shows the pettiness of rich people.

(09:52):
And those are always fun stories that even though you
have a lot of our buddy Jerome and Charleston, we
love Jerome. He calls up a couple times and he's
on a tight income and he counts every penny and
he's fascinated with money and all that. But money, power, fame,
all these things combined at the intersection, and it doesn't
matter how successful you are, how many yachts you have,

(10:14):
how many mansions you have, how many private planes you have,
doesn't matter. There's still that personal element, and it's what
makes us humans, right, It's what makes us humans. So
in Boston over the weekend, we learned that John Henry
and Tom Werner, the people that own the Boston Red Sox,
failed to show up to Larry Lukeno's funeral. Larry Luchino

(10:37):
was in Boston when they ended the Curse of the Bambino.
That twentieth anniversary of the twenty ZHO four Red Sox team.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
So what is the word for that?

Speaker 2 (10:45):
What is the word for John Henry and Tom Warner
not showing up to the funeral of Larry Lukeno. So
the word is tackless. That's the obvious word, tackless. It
is also information. It is confirmation that the rumors that
my friends in Boston have told me over the years

(11:05):
that we're close to the situation are right.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
That this is a.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Situation where you peel back the curtain and you realize
that EG got in the way here, that those guys
John Henry and Tom where they both had their little excuses,
but they were jealous the Green Eyed Monster. They were
jealous of Larry Lukino and his popularity. And he was

(11:32):
the guy that was beloved by many because he attacked
George Steinbrenner. Larry Lukino, he's the guy that came up
with the evil Empire to describe the Yankees. And John
Henry is just like a rich nerd and Tom warners
nothing no impact like no real impact, right, And they
both cooked up excuses to not attend the funeral. But

(11:56):
when you're that wealthy, you can adjust your schedule and
if it means something, if that person meant enough to you,
you would go right, You would find a way. You
have the resources to go. John Henry and Tom Warner
have the money. They could have gotten their little private
planes and their private cars and gone to the funeral service.

(12:16):
There were like former governors there and a bunch of
high pollutant political ambassador type people that showed up this funeral,
but not Larry Lukeno's co workers John Henry and Tom Warner.
So really they took out the rubber stamp, and they
rubber stamped that they do have a personal vendetta. Even
the guy's dead and they still have a problem with him,

(12:38):
which on some level actually respect that they hold a
grudge even to the grave. But wow, that is a wild,
wild one. That is a wild one, and.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
It shows a lack of classes. What it shows. It
is the Ben Mahlor Show.

the plan.

I think a Malord meet and greet in Cincinnati would
be off the hook. Man, we do so well in Cincinnati.
I think that would be massive. I just have to
convince my wife to go to Cincinnati on vacation. I
don't think she would want to do that. I'm sure
I could stay at Andy's house and be awesome, man,
tell stories about the oldest.

So oh that'd be cool. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:11):
So if if anybody wants to meet me at Wrigley
or around Wrigley, I'm happy to do.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Just go drink at the bars across the street. You
don't even go to the game, Just go drink at
the well.

Speaker 7 (20:20):
I mean the whole you know, reason of going is
to the game. It's not the game. The game it's
probably terrible. It's the Angels.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, by the ball, yes exactly, Okay, that's cool. Yeahri
is awesome. Was there and you're going when the weather's warm, right,
it's gonna be nice.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
And warm, I would imagine, so I would hope.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
So took the wife to Wrigley. A couple of Jonas
actually hooked us up. He's you talk to Joe. He's
a made man.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
He's Chicago.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Oh okay, okay, yeah, yeah, you want to go to
cub Oh yeah all right, yeah right, but he hooked
me up.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
And it was a freezing, rainy night.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
It was like Cubs and White Sox and it was
like it's like thirty five degrees in rain it was,
and they played the freaking game.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
They didn't even rent it out, and.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
I of course would have stayed.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
And the wife say, we gotta get out of here.
I've also never had a Chicago deep dish people. Oh
my god, Oh, let me go to the phone.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Hold on, let me go to the phone.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
There's a don't go to the chains, go to the
local places are better. All right, all right, I'll give
you some names. I don't have them rough the top.
There's no bad ones, though, there are no bad you know,
you want to avoid the touristy places. Not but you
are a tourists, but you want to avoid the touristy place.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
I don't. I don't necessarily agree with that on that.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Well, your opinion, it doesn't matter. It's a bad it's
a bad take pizza take. But if you can go
to like, there's a there's a Chicago pizza place here where.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
We do the show from. I don't know the name
of it.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
It's a chain Gino's.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
East or something like that.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
I don't know whatever, But yeah, it's pretty good. It's fine.

Speaker 7 (21:52):
But I'm saying there's other places that I like. I
like to go where the where the locals go exactly.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
So I had a friend in Philadelphia and he was like, well,
they go to Gino's or Pats and get No, you
don't go there for a stake samwich. You gotta go
somewhere with the local people. You gotta do so people
are freaking out over this Dodger fan.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
I got my phone.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
People were texting me, did you see what happened to
Dodger fan who got the home run ball from Manny
Machado and then did the old switcher roo.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
He had a.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Second ball and he took the ball out of his
pocket and chucked.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
It on the field. And people were saying.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
And then I got my friend, Uh, Sports with Coleman's like,
who brings a baseball to a game?

Speaker 3 (22:28):
He says, that's the epitome of a Dodger fan.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
And that's a bad take by Sports with Coleman and
me explain that is, people say the Dodger they ripped
the Dodger fan for showing up late and leaving early.
That's bull crap. Okay, they do that because of the
freaking traffic in LA. But that's a veteran move, all right,
veteran move by the fan. That's a knowledgeable baseball fan
because they knew that they were playing the odds they
could get a home run ball, and the fans were

(22:52):
gonna bully them, they were gonna pressure them to throw
the ball back on the field. So they had a
second ball, a cheap ball that they threw on the field,
and the fans are so drunk out there in the
pavilion at Dodger Statum, they didn't even know what was
going on.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
They cheered, they went wild.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
So I've seen that before.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
That exactly.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
It happens in Chicago lot at Wrigley Field because you're
expected of the visiting player, Coop, You're gonna have to
bring a second ball if you sit out in the
bleachers because if you if you throw, if you get
a home runball from the visiting team, you gotta throw
it back. So yeah, no, I think that's a seasoned veteran.
People are like, oh, I can't believe he did that, Like,
why would you do that?

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Why not?

Speaker 11 (23:28):
I feel like it was a Scooby Doo moment, Like
I would have gotten away with it too if it
weren't for you Dodgers and your crummy cameras.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Well, that's the exactly the guy said that nobody noticed
in the crowd, no one.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Would have noticed. He was super slick about it.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
It was the Sunday night broadcast that notes.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
And if the guy in front of him just moved
over like two inches, no one would have seen nothing.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Now, if you go to a baseball game of Loren,
would you bring a second ball?

Speaker 3 (23:51):
I wouldn't even think about it.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
You would not be prepared.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
I'm not prepared.

Speaker 7 (23:55):
No, And honestly my hands would be full of hot
dogs and beers, so I don't think i'd catch it anyway.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Worry about the ball now.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
I got you.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

major league hit for the number one prospect, Jackson Holiday,
the son of former Big league Matt Holiday, finally gets
that first hit, scored the game winning run as well.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
In the orders, let me guess they took the ball
out of play, Eddie, and they put it in bronze.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
I don't know about the bronze partment. Probably took the
ball out of play. Yes, I would definitely think that
head he get it.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Verified by Major League baseball. So if this guy's good
thirty years from now or twenty years from now, they
can sell sell it for a million dollars or ten
million dollars or whatever. Anyway, it is the Ben Mallord Show.
As we continue, congratulations of the Chicago White Sox as
they are off to a two and thirteen start. That
is the worst start in the one hundred and twenty

(24:57):
four years of Chicago White Sox baseball. That is impressed.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Oh, he just signed Tommy Fams, so that's gonna stock.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, he might slap those players to make sure they're
in good shape. There, didn't he remember Jack Peterson? He
slapped Jack Peterson remember that Fantasy Baseball rhubarb a couple
of years ago. So I got Mike Harmon, who works here,
is a big White Sox fan. He wears White Sox
gears off to make sure to bust his Don't you

a day off, then he'll be right there.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Do you know Mark's last name Coop. I don't know,
no idea.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
All right, he likes me. He hates you though, he
likes me. He thinks I'm nice. I doubt that he
does because he doesn't like to talk and I don't
like to talk. So we're good. We have a mutual understanding.
He doesn't like to talk. Yeah, that's what I heard.

Oh everybody for my voice. I got a bit of
a cold. Seventy seven years ago to day, Jackie Robinson
of the Dodgers added baseball sixty three year color line
by scoring a run even though he went out for
three as the Dodgers beats of Braves five to three.
And the next day another famous athlete was four more
about him tomorrow and also twenty one years of the

(30:48):
day after April fifties, nineteen sixty eight, elt White's era.
In the bottom of twenty fourth game, the Houston Astros
one nothing victory over the Metch I think that's the
longest on the nothing game in Major League history. Yesterday,
Pete Rose was eighty three. Baker Mayfield was twenty nine,
Brad Ausla fifty five, and Greg Grddis was fifty eight,

(31:14):
and on April fourteenth, nineteen sixty seven, exactly twelve years
after he broke, was the first black Yankee player of
New York Yankees. Catcher Elston Howard boke up Boston Red
Sox right at the pitcher Bill Rorris no hitter in
the bottom of the ninth I think two. But later

(31:34):
that year Howard became Rory's teammate when he got traded
to the Red Sox. War by the way, one of
that game even sixty seven, one and sixty eight and
only had three Major League fifth thories. Speak to people

Speaker 1 (34:14):

Speaker 3 (34:15):

Speaker 1 (34:17):
All right, let's play the game. Guy one, two or three? Coop?
Which one do you think?

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Here?

Speaker 2 (34:21):
All right, we'll do number one now, gentlemen, one hundred
people surveyed the top six answers on the board. Try
to find the most popular answer, name and occupation. If
you want to go first, your your name is your
buzzer name an occupation that begins with a letter J.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Nate, Nate, Janitor. That's right?

Speaker 2 (34:39):
How was the number one answer? Good job by you, Nate.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
The ring ring ring ring?

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Are are there?

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Okay? All right, let's go U Nate.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
You go again until you get one wrong name an
occupation that begins with a letter J.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
Jockey that is on there also, that is correct. Good
job by you, jockey.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
All right, you got two of the top six, and
you go again, Nate, have ok Nate drawing a blank?
Blank does not begin with a J. So we'll go
over to John John name and occupation that begins with
the letter J. Top six answers originally on the board.

(35:17):
We already have janitor and we have jockey.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Okay, blank again does not start with the J.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Apparently we can only name two professions to start with
a J. Let's go back to Nate. Let's see if
Nate has seen some clarity. He's gotten rid of the fog.
Name and occupation Nate that begins with the letter jan blank.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
Still, Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (35:50):

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Who said that was that Nate or John who said that?
All Right, Nate, you said we'll give that to Na,
but we go to John. Now, John, name an occupation
that begins with the letter j uh. This is something
you would likely use when you get engaged or married.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
No, look, so if I give them the answers, they'll
get it right. We are out of time, No, I
guess well, Nate wins. But I think we're all losers
for this. I think we're ah you in Nate, but
you know, it was kind of a weak game.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
I had to give you the clues there
