Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
As we are blue in the face talking about the
story that everyone's been buzzing about in baseball. The Cardinals
and the Tampa Bay Rays have been doing a very
interesting celebration the last few days. And Matt Carpenter wants
you to know he's a veteran baseball player. He says,
the Cardinals new home run celebration is not a political statement.
Many have connected it to connected it to President Trump.
(00:29):
What intrigues you the most about this story? We'll talk
about that. Also, Yankee star Juan Soto said that his
slow home run trot was because of the hot weather
and he was just trying to save his hammies rather
than show up a player on Tampa Bay. Does that
work for you right?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
What do you make of this? Also?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Does wit Maryfield going to the braves late of the
Phillies do anything to improve the Atlanta roster will go
there as well. It's coming your way right now, our
number three.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So I've heard of the term political football.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I've used that term before, political football, but I haven't
heard of the term political baseball, at least not until
this week. I know there's a congressional baseball game, but
I hadn't heard of it until this week. Well, come
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We are in the A.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Everywhere brothers in sports talk as we are proof that
imagination does work when you're talking to people that are
fast asleep, coast to coast, border to border and beyond
on the vast and astronomically powerful microphones of FS are

Emma nating live from the Big A, the A block
which is now the C block of the show. So
the Big C, I guess you, Coul said, ABC.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, this is the A block of the hour, but
it's our three, which is our three, So it's the
A block of hour three. But you get the point.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Anyway, We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot Com studios.

thousand recommended installers. Ty ract dot com the way tire
buying shoot. Be the sawman in Mississippi. He says, my
(02:22):
ten thousand, like that number, like that number, ten thousand
a lot. So our lead this hour coming from the Diamond.
The dog days of summer are here and unlike Andrea's dog.
They were actually barking our our arf just like that.
So high drama around the majors, but not because of
anything going on as far as the actual playing of
(02:46):
the game. This is like a celebratory situation, right, A
celebratory dance has ruffled some feathers.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So if you didn't see this or hear.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
About it, and maybe not, let me give you the
thumbnail recap. It's been playing out over the last couple
of days. So we recently witnessed multiple big league players
for different teams doing something that pretty clearly resembles a
celebratory dance. That is in direct relation to the reaction
(03:16):
to President Trump after there was an assassination attempt against him.
I assume by now that you've at least heard about
this or at least seen it. So in the clip
that we've all heard about Bretton when President Trump he
was bloodied, his ear was hit, and he got up
and he put his fist up in the air and
he said fight, fight, fight, right, that's what he said.
(03:38):
So I bring this up because shortstop Taylor Walls, I'm
told he plays for the Tampa Bay baseball team. He
put his fist up and he he meaned fight.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Fight.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Right then you had multiple members of the Saint Louis
baseball team who held their ears and pumped their fists.
Now this led to some baseball scribes who leaned to
the woke side, who were up in arms, and so
they went to the locker room. I need answers. How
could you possibly do this? You're the Saint Louis Cardinals.
(04:13):
So they went around the locker room and Redbird's veteran
Matt Carpenter.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Been around a long time. He wants you to know.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
When asked about this directly the Cardinals doing what certainly
appeared to be like a copycat of what President Trump
did when he was shot in Pennsylvania, Matt Carpenter said
it was not a political statement, just a harmless inside
joke done to golf on a teammate who had a
(04:41):
failed rap career. Okay, so let us discuss the question
again for those of you a little slow here, Matt Carpenter,
veteran big league player, saying that his Saint Louis Cardinals
their new home run celebration is not a political statement.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And what intrigues you? What intrigued you about this?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
So I've got the lighting, urnal cake and Ikea and
those things have never been said together and they will now.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And here we go into the hour.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
So, first of all, the reaction that got my attention
was the baseball scribes. That's the part of the story
that intrigues me the most because there's been a little
bit of hyperventilate, right, the primal scream from some of
these yahoos on the social media channels. And that led
(05:35):
to Matt Carpenter being asked. And Carpenter, who's been around,
it's not his first rodeo, and he tossed out. But
I assume would be a curveball, right, And could you
imagine if the Cardinals is to, oh, yeah, we're doing
this fight fight thing and we're doing it for, you know,
as a tribute to to Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Oh my god. They was you can't do that. You're
not allowed to do that. What are you doing? Shame
on you.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Bubonic plague would have hit the baseball media. So instead
the Redbirds, it turned to the lighting, the mood lighting
they chose. In this case, gas lighting was the type
of lighting that they chose. Psychological manipulation. It's a term,
it's a political term. We use it from time to time,
(06:20):
but you're sowing seeds of doubt. You're trying to make
the person you're giving the statement to. In this case,
you and me question your memory, right, you're questioning your memory,
your perception, your sanity. I mean, it looked like they
were just copying what Trump did, but they said they didn't.
They said that's not true. They were doing something about
a rap. Okay, So I always go by this. If
(06:43):
it looks like you're doing a Donald Trump charade, it's
probably a Donald Trump's charade. It's not that deep, right,
And it just coincided that the guy for Tampa Bay
and the Cardinals, just a couple of days after this happened,
like overnight, all of a sudden, they're like, let's.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Do this celebration. But I'm sure that's just a quinkie thing,
and these things are not related. It's just harmless fun
and they're just enjoying rap. Goofing un wrapped right now.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Secondly, we head to the Boogey down Bronx So Mattinee
in Yankee Stadium on Monday. The Yankees blew out their
alas rival Rays.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
That's not the story. The story is the juicy subplot.
That's the story here and what is it all right?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
So in the game, we had Yankee star Juan Soto
lolly gagging around the bases in retaliation or was it
to Tampa Bay outfielder Jose Siri. Each of them took
elongated home run trots. In fact, to prove my point
on his twenty ninth birthday, Happy birthday. We know the shoutouts,
but Jose Sira or Siri rather Siri of Tampa Bay
(07:51):
twenty ninth birthday, he took thirty seconds to get around
the basis. He also had a long home run trot
back on Sunday so one hit two dingers.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
But in his rebuttal he took.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Thirty seven seconds to get around the bases. Thirty seven
seconds to get around the basis now one Soda was
asked about all this after the game.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
He said that his.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Slow, methodical not jog walk, not trot walk around the
bases was because of the hot weather in the Bronx,
because the Bronx is burning and he was trying to
save He said, the Hammies, what do you make of this? Well,
(08:38):
it's very similar to the Redbirds in the story. We
just talked about with the Trump stuff. I would advise
you to look at your iPhone or Android, whatever your
phone is. It is officially lying season on the baseball calendar.
And the story is a urinal cake. Okay, because I
watched some of this game Yankees and raised again.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Was blow out.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I didn't watch the whole thing. The game was over
in the mid innings, middle innings of the game. But
this is an old fashioned pissing match, is what this is. Right,
You get to your own cake out there and that's it.
The Yankees were offended their sensibilities of New York yankeees,
and they were offended that this two hundred hitting Jose
Siri was doing slowed trot around the base.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Spider Alert.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
This is the part of the stew which I love
classic baseball wrangle. So the Yankees are all upset, They're offended.
They think that this is intentional and that Jose Siri
is trying to mock the Yankees and goof on the Yankees. Well,
is it true that Jose Siri of Tampa Bay's average
home run trot during the course of this season has
(09:48):
been twenty nine point three seconds per home run, meaning
that his home run on Monday, which upset the Yankees,
meaning that that was actually within the margin of error
to what he has normally done all season long. In fact,
that's tied for the second longest home run trot.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
In the majors. Jose Siries.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
All right, now, final thought, we go to the a
TL They Atlanta Braves immediately making a roster move because
that's what good teams do. They lost a key player
to injury, and Jose Albi's out. Ozzi Alby's out, so
they had to go out and they had to add
a new infield.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
The Braves have agreed to terms with wit Meryfield. At
one point was pretty good with the Kansas City baseball team,
but he has been manure lately with the fight in Phills,
so wit Merryfield agrees to a major league contracy. He
also got almost got hurt his first workout with the Braves,
but that all following the news of all Ozzie Albi's
(10:55):
and his injury and all that. With a broken wrist,
he'll be out eight weeks, which means most of the
regular season by the time he gets back into shape. Now,
wit Maryfield was recently fired by the Philadelphia Phillis. They
don't use the word fired. They say they say, I'm
designated for assignment and they released, which is fired.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So the question does wit Merryfield going from the Phillies,
the top team in baseball, to a team chasing the Phillies,
the Atlanta Braves, does.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
That do anything for you?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So my first thought is I like the fact that
you're doing something, like you know, you have a problem,
you realize the problem, and you're making mome. So I
will commend the Atlanta Braves for not sitting there and saying, well,
we have some guy in Double A, you know, some
guy in Chattanooga that's ready to go. You're not doing that.
You added a guy that's been in the major league.
So I like that part of it.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Secondly, wit Meryfield, at this point in his story, if
you look at his Wikipedia page, wit Maryfield, it's like
going to Ikea and you buy a coffee table. You
don't get too that right. It's background furniture. It's not
the main event. The main events the sofa. The main events,
the comfortable chair that you've got to the TV. That's
(12:09):
the main event. You don't get excited about an accent
table and with Merryfield, that's what he is. Doesn't get
you all Tingley, it doesn't. Marryfield's thirty five years old
and was batting below the Mendoza line in Philadelphia. That said,
as we have seen with players that have gone to Atlanta,
(12:31):
this guy a couple of years ago that looked like
Pete Rose, Tony Wynn and Ty Cobb against my Dodgers
in the playoffs and then went to the Nationals and suck.
But wearing that Braves uniform has been the equivalent of
waiving a magic wand on multiple players.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
That have gone to Atlanta. All right, is the Ben

riddle of the day. Track in field, the Olympians cannot

Speaker 1 (16:11):
That is the question.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
What is the answer to the Mallard Riddle of the
day that sees anyone know the answer?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Does anyone know the answer?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Malard prop guy promoted by alf says, the track and
field athletes are all surprised that their events will be
held on the River Saint. They're shocked by that. Who
else do we have? Ferg Dog says they cannot believe
Ben Maler's winter is coming. Tire rack dot com ad

(16:42):
the corporate machine that Fox Sports Radio is such a
large conglomerate that that has been on the air all
year and I've complained to multiple people and.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No one's been able to fix it. Fascinating, unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Mason and Huntington Beach listener Mason says the answer to
the Malar riddle of the day. They can't believe how
great nineteen eighties video games were. Yeah, I remember that
track and Field video game, Mason. I played that a
couple of times. I went from that, I went back
to Tron, the Tron arcade, yame, that was my go
to alf the Aileen O Piner says they cannot believe
(18:07):
that there's no poutine on the menu at the Olympics.
How dare you blasphemy? Although they are too far away
from Canada, the Holy Land. The greatest thing the world's
gotten from Canada is poutine. And there's really nothing. Second,
there's really nothing second?

say you? Eddie? Here we go. Let's uh again the
(18:42):
Malle riddle.

If you're you missed it, because we spent a lot
of time on that track and Field Olympians cannot believe
blank about the Paris Games.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
They cannot believe that the track has been painted purple?

All right? What's next?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Okay? Gent what I call the dead part of the year?

Speaker 1 (22:58):
How dare you?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
How dare you? I gotta do the shorter night. I
don't know what you're talking about. I gotta come in
here every night. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Are we in favor of the NBA or NHL tweaking
their seats until they won't have this bid time before
the NFL season?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, I'm fine. People need to take vacation, get away.
I'm okay.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
There has been talking the past about baseball moving their
season up. You can't do it because of the cold weather.
But they'd like to find a way where they don't
compete as much with the NFL and have their their pleasure.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I don't have the math with that on that would work.
They'd have to play fewer games. But no, I'm gonna
I like it the way it is. Eddie.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Yeah, I would say no as well. The NBA could
move it anywhere they want and I wouldn't watch it,
so it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Doesn't They could play games in front of Eddie's house
and he would not even go out, so I might.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
I might peek through the curtains.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
You'd be like, what's that noise? Why they are they
dribbling the ball? I'm trying to sleep, Lreya, I'm gonna
do it.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
Thumbs down on that one, Ben, And it's simply because
what I've learned while working here is that sports and
relationships go hand in hand. And during sports season, guess
who does not get as much loving?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Okay, you know it's I don't know, but you don't
just not on Sundays, but there's Tuesdays and Wednesdays there's
no games, and Fridays there's.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Usually no games.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
Your mind is still stuck on sports that whole time.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You know it multitask Coop.
Speaker 12 (24:26):
As a fan, I'm gonna say thumbs down. As a producer,
I'm gonna say thumbs up.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
So he's it's like he's picking two people to win
the award. I guess your decision.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
This is uh exactly, but but no, my point would
be just follow up on that. I actually kind of
like this time of the year because it's more challenging,
and I like to think it separates those that can
do this properly and those that can't. Anyone could do
a radio show in the middle of the NFL season.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
But I like the fact that we come in here
and you know, I'm talking about a podcaster for the
Lakers and.
Speaker 10 (24:58):
The cream of the crop.
Speaker 9 (24:59):
Ben, You're the cream love the crop.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Of the rest.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
See that's a ben at Eddie right there, Coop, that's
a love that give that one to give that one
a raise, aorry and one and more Eddie.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
One more, yeah, one more, Okay, thumbs.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Up, thumbs down. This is Eddie and Charlotte were playing
thumbs up thumbs down in.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Uh in less than ninety days, probably sixty years old.
Thank you, thank you. Back in the day at halftime
was the only time you got to see scores and interviews,
and sometimes you had to wait till the seven more
nine o'clock news thumbs up for thumbs down. I'll be
having too much interaction during these they come back from commercers.
(25:40):
They got guys should have been the boot that they're
delaying the game of the ten seconds that they could
talk to the coach they got stuck falling.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, so thumbs Should we
go back to the way? Is there too much information overload?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Is your question?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Is is there you go halftime only thumbs up thumbs down.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah, I think there's too much. So I agree there's
too much, but I'm so used to it, I can't
imagine going back to the way it was. I remember
they added the ten minute ticker and people were blown
away by that where they give the scores.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, it was a shocking.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But I'm gonna go thumbs down because I like, you know,
if the game's bad, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Look at some other stuff on my phone or whatever.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
Eddie thumbs down. The good old days mostly.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Sucked at it.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
Yeah, yeah, they sucked about that.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
No, you remember our old colleague Padd O'Brien at the
half they're prudential at the half with padd O'Brien atop
the Boston Garden. No, all right, Oh, no recollection in that.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
I know, I remember it.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I just didn't care, Okay, Lorraina.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
I actually think that they should. They should.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Of course she wants less less information.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Well no, not simply, not because of anything specific.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
Maybe maybe I'm thinking opposite actually, because we are in
the media and I would love to talk to people
more often.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
But I see where it's taking.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
The interviews are pointless.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
But maybe it's distracting the players.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
No, they don't say anything. They said something, it would
be distracting. They just give cliches. That's all they do.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
It's a waste of time. But the companies pay a
lot of money. The broadcast companies pay a lot of money,
so they have to justify the money set. But we
need access to the playoffs, and they don't money.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
It's the bottom line, as all exactly.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
All right, Eddie, palm more off and we happy early birthday.
We don't do a shoutout, but you're not get to
answer the question. Oh sorry, Cooper tombs down. All right,
I gotta leave time for the game.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
I can't believe we've gone this deep in the show
and not told you about the Summer League Championship game
of the NBA. Oh my god, what a thriller as
the Heat hold off the Grizzlies for a one twenty
one eighteen overtime win.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
This is one of those things that he that blows
my mind because when I when I was younger, I
went to the Summer League. It was in Long Beach.
I went to one in Irvine in southern California, and
nobody gave, nobody cared. The arena was empty, there was
no television, and he just played the games and that
was that. Now it's on every game's on TV. You're
(28:03):
giving the Did you ever give the scores in the
early days.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Of Fox Sports Radio find Summer League, No doubt it,
you didn't. Nobody cared. Why do people care? I don't
know why do people care?
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Why don't people care about any of this?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well, but I think gambling is a big part of it.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
First Summer League title for Miami, they were six to
zero in the event. Someone named Josh Christopher was named
the MVP. He led the heat with twenty name. I
don't think that's a real person. And how about Scottie
Pippen Junior leading the Grizzlies in defeat with twenty nine
points and eleven assistand.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
No tipping part two?
Speaker 8 (28:32):
That other guy?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
You think I'm guessing reated? No tip and pippin? Yeah,
part two?
Speaker 8 (28:38):
Great?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Nickname bad if you're a waiter, waitress or whatever. Bat
no tip and pippin all town. Great? So is that
are you done? That's it?
Speaker 8 (28:45):
That's it. Let's get in the game.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well, no, I got a fun fact.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
They got a game.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
All right, fun fact. So I imagine this earlier.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Rays outfielder Jose Siri is second in baseball this year.
Average home run trot this season twenty nine point three seconds,
the second the second longest mark in the majors behind
who leads baseball with the slowest home run trot.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
You're gonna spoil this one too, Eddie. You're gonna run
this one again.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
No, you're not, because you don't know the answer. The
answer who is from the Atlanta Braves? Marcel Ozuna. Marcel
Ozuna leads baseball with the longest home run trot.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Here we go, we go, Nailers, nowhere we go.
Speaker 4 (29:34):

He tried to run over kids in his car on
Halloween for the Indians.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I can't say that offensive.
Speaker 8 (35:33):
Last name would be Ring, the ring the offensive.
Speaker 10 (35:40):
I count that.
Speaker 9 (35:41):
I count that.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
No, it does not count. Did not get it in
before the buzzer? No, I know that was such an
easy category.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
It's also, you know, disconcerting with Ben's talking while I'm
trying to.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Excuse.
Speaker 10 (35:57):
Did she say Albert?
Speaker 12 (36:00):
She didn't say she got because whatever she said got
in before the buzzer was done.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I didn't hear it. So she said Albert. That's the
point that Albert she did not. Honest, She's not right.
Speaker 10 (36:13):
That's two hundred points for.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
That.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I'm talking about the telephonion.
Speaker 12 (36:20):
Alright, it doesn't what you say after the buzzer. No, buzzer.
Did not hear her voice after the buzzer, of course
you are, and well we'll play it back, and then
you'll be wrong.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
And you'll still still.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Right.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
Anyway, since you are, you are now trailing, play it back.
We'll play it back. I'm recording right now. We have
to wait till after the break.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
See what you're doing, Slug. They're screwing us over and
he's playing time.
Speaker 10 (36:50):
Slug and Ben, you are back up.
Speaker 12 (36:52):
Do you want Miles to nowhere or oh, very young?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Of course you would pick that. That's the heart of
the two categories.
Speaker 7 (37:00):
Oh, he doesn't like a challenge. These athletes were all
thought you were really good at this. They were all.
Speaker 12 (37:04):
Stars or Pro bowlers their rookie season. Forty five seconds begin.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
All right, big fundamental for the Spurs. Yes, Karl Malone's
teammate with the Jazz all those years.
Speaker 10 (37:16):
What are you doing? You're doing the.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Right category the wrong job. Sorry, I polish, I gotta
keep I gotta keep going. Then quarterback for.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
The quarterback for the Wow, what a.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Super Bowl quarterback? You're talking over me? Just a guy.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Podre, Mister Podre, no protext double prosias is less gag
this game is over.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
In the nineteen eighties, protest slug couldn't hear the rock category.
Speaker 13 (37:49):
That's why you can't hear because the wrong was literally
that district game that was a.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Mile he said.
Speaker 12 (38:00):
He complied about the category, that you gotta going the
harder one and that golden does the other category.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
My god, I want to lose an all time low
for you. You are so smock You just the category.
Speaker 8 (38:14):
You said the category, and so you picked with the category.
Speaker 12 (38:17):
And where half of any by default.
Speaker 13 (38:21):
But you probably would have won anything the worst lot
of cheating the best of that doesn't work for me.
You're right with me, just I just was gave competed.
He said, you cheated, you felt you did the wrong category.
I was actually winning. I was winning at the time.
That you realize what you are you him played. I
(38:43):
talked to you job Kelly, because you've got a golden ticket.
Has you picked the that'shoods made for doughnuts?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
You get she's going to golden Did you go yet?
Speaker 3 (38:59):
I would? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
This is you know what this is in subordination. But
you're an any angels of borting ah. You're crowded, blessibly justified.
You're doing the rams in yourself and a turn this
bike you off, but
Hello and welcome. It's our number three.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
As we are blue in the face talking about the
story that everyone's been buzzing about in baseball. The Cardinals
and the Tampa Bay Rays have been doing a very
interesting celebration the last few days. And Matt Carpenter wants
you to know he's a veteran baseball player. He says,
the Cardinals new home run celebration is not a political statement.
Many have connected it to connected it to President Trump.
(00:29):
What intrigues you the most about this story? We'll talk
about that. Also, Yankee star Juan Soto said that his
slow home run trot was because of the hot weather
and he was just trying to save his hammies rather
than show up a player on Tampa Bay. Does that
work for you right?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
What do you make of this? Also?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Does wit Maryfield going to the braves late of the
Phillies do anything to improve the Atlanta roster will go
there as well. It's coming your way right now, our
number three.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
So I've heard of the term political football.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I've used that term before, political football, but I haven't
heard of the term political baseball, at least not until
this week. I know there's a congressional baseball game, but
I hadn't heard of it until this week. Well, come
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We are in the A.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Everywhere brothers in sports talk as we are proof that
imagination does work when you're talking to people that are
fast asleep, coast to coast, border to border and beyond
on the vast and astronomically powerful microphones of FS are
(01:47):
Emma nating live from the Big A, the A block
which is now the C block of the show. So
the Big C, I guess you, Coul said, ABC.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, this is the A block of the hour, but
it's our three, which is our three, So it's the
A block of hour three. But you get the point.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Anyway, We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot Com studios.
Tyrack dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers. Ty ract dot com the way tire
buying shoot. Be the sawman in Mississippi. He says, my
(02:22):
ten thousand, like that number, like that number, ten thousand
a lot. So our lead this hour coming from the Diamond.
The dog days of summer are here and unlike Andrea's dog.
They were actually barking our our arf just like that.
So high drama around the majors, but not because of
anything going on as far as the actual playing of
(02:46):
the game. This is like a celebratory situation, right, A
celebratory dance has ruffled some feathers.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So if you didn't see this or hear.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
About it, and maybe not, let me give you the
thumbnail recap. It's been playing out over the last couple
of days. So we recently witnessed multiple big league players
for different teams doing something that pretty clearly resembles a
celebratory dance. That is in direct relation to the reaction
(03:16):
to President Trump after there was an assassination attempt against him.
I assume by now that you've at least heard about
this or at least seen it. So in the clip
that we've all heard about Bretton when President Trump he
was bloodied, his ear was hit, and he got up
and he put his fist up in the air and
he said fight, fight, fight, right, that's what he said.
(03:38):
So I bring this up because shortstop Taylor Walls, I'm
told he plays for the Tampa Bay baseball team. He
put his fist up and he he meaned fight.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Fight.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Right then you had multiple members of the Saint Louis
baseball team who held their ears and pumped their fists.
Now this led to some baseball scribes who leaned to
the woke side, who were up in arms, and so
they went to the locker room. I need answers. How
could you possibly do this? You're the Saint Louis Cardinals.
(04:13):
So they went around the locker room and Redbird's veteran
Matt Carpenter.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Been around a long time. He wants you to know.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
When asked about this directly the Cardinals doing what certainly
appeared to be like a copycat of what President Trump
did when he was shot in Pennsylvania, Matt Carpenter said
it was not a political statement, just a harmless inside
joke done to golf on a teammate who had a
(04:41):
failed rap career. Okay, so let us discuss the question
again for those of you a little slow here, Matt Carpenter,
veteran big league player, saying that his Saint Louis Cardinals
their new home run celebration is not a political statement.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And what intrigues you? What intrigued you about this?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
So I've got the lighting, urnal cake and Ikea and
those things have never been said together and they will now.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And here we go into the hour.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
So, first of all, the reaction that got my attention
was the baseball scribes. That's the part of the story
that intrigues me the most because there's been a little
bit of hyperventilate, right, the primal scream from some of
these yahoos on the social media channels. And that led
(05:35):
to Matt Carpenter being asked. And Carpenter, who's been around,
it's not his first rodeo, and he tossed out. But
I assume would be a curveball, right, And could you
imagine if the Cardinals is to, oh, yeah, we're doing
this fight fight thing and we're doing it for, you know,
as a tribute to to Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Oh my god. They was you can't do that. You're
not allowed to do that. What are you doing? Shame
on you.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Bubonic plague would have hit the baseball media. So instead
the Redbirds, it turned to the lighting, the mood lighting
they chose. In this case, gas lighting was the type
of lighting that they chose. Psychological manipulation. It's a term,
it's a political term. We use it from time to time,
(06:20):
but you're sowing seeds of doubt. You're trying to make
the person you're giving the statement to. In this case,
you and me question your memory, right, you're questioning your memory,
your perception, your sanity. I mean, it looked like they
were just copying what Trump did, but they said they didn't.
They said that's not true. They were doing something about
a rap. Okay, So I always go by this. If
(06:43):
it looks like you're doing a Donald Trump charade, it's
probably a Donald Trump's charade. It's not that deep, right,
And it just coincided that the guy for Tampa Bay
and the Cardinals, just a couple of days after this happened,
like overnight, all of a sudden, they're like, let's.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Do this celebration. But I'm sure that's just a quinkie thing,
and these things are not related. It's just harmless fun
and they're just enjoying rap. Goofing un wrapped right now.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Secondly, we head to the Boogey down Bronx So Mattinee
in Yankee Stadium on Monday. The Yankees blew out their
alas rival Rays.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
That's not the story. The story is the juicy subplot.
That's the story here and what is it all right?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
So in the game, we had Yankee star Juan Soto
lolly gagging around the bases in retaliation or was it
to Tampa Bay outfielder Jose Siri. Each of them took
elongated home run trots. In fact, to prove my point
on his twenty ninth birthday, Happy birthday. We know the shoutouts,
but Jose Sira or Siri rather Siri of Tampa Bay
(07:51):
twenty ninth birthday, he took thirty seconds to get around
the basis. He also had a long home run trot
back on Sunday so one hit two dingers.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
But in his rebuttal he took.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Thirty seven seconds to get around the bases. Thirty seven
seconds to get around the basis now one Soda was
asked about all this after the game.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
He said that his.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Slow, methodical not jog walk, not trot walk around the
bases was because of the hot weather in the Bronx,
because the Bronx is burning and he was trying to
save He said, the Hammies, what do you make of this? Well,
(08:38):
it's very similar to the Redbirds in the story. We
just talked about with the Trump stuff. I would advise
you to look at your iPhone or Android, whatever your
phone is. It is officially lying season on the baseball calendar.
And the story is a urinal cake. Okay, because I
watched some of this game Yankees and raised again.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Was blow out.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I didn't watch the whole thing. The game was over
in the mid innings, middle innings of the game. But
this is an old fashioned pissing match, is what this is. Right,
You get to your own cake out there and that's it.
The Yankees were offended their sensibilities of New York yankeees,
and they were offended that this two hundred hitting Jose
Siri was doing slowed trot around the base.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Spider Alert.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
This is the part of the stew which I love
classic baseball wrangle. So the Yankees are all upset, They're offended.
They think that this is intentional and that Jose Siri
is trying to mock the Yankees and goof on the Yankees. Well,
is it true that Jose Siri of Tampa Bay's average
home run trot during the course of this season has
(09:48):
been twenty nine point three seconds per home run, meaning
that his home run on Monday, which upset the Yankees,
meaning that that was actually within the margin of error
to what he has normally done all season long. In fact,
that's tied for the second longest home run trot.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
In the majors. Jose Siries.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
All right, now, final thought, we go to the a
TL They Atlanta Braves immediately making a roster move because
that's what good teams do. They lost a key player
to injury, and Jose Albi's out. Ozzi Alby's out, so
they had to go out and they had to add
a new infield.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
The Braves have agreed to terms with wit Meryfield. At
one point was pretty good with the Kansas City baseball team,
but he has been manure lately with the fight in Phills,
so wit Merryfield agrees to a major league contracy. He
also got almost got hurt his first workout with the Braves,
but that all following the news of all Ozzie Albi's
(10:55):
and his injury and all that. With a broken wrist,
he'll be out eight weeks, which means most of the
regular season by the time he gets back into shape. Now,
wit Maryfield was recently fired by the Philadelphia Phillis. They
don't use the word fired. They say they say, I'm
designated for assignment and they released, which is fired.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
So the question does wit Merryfield going from the Phillies,
the top team in baseball, to a team chasing the Phillies,
the Atlanta Braves, does.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
That do anything for you?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So my first thought is I like the fact that
you're doing something, like you know, you have a problem,
you realize the problem, and you're making mome. So I
will commend the Atlanta Braves for not sitting there and saying, well,
we have some guy in Double A, you know, some
guy in Chattanooga that's ready to go. You're not doing that.
You added a guy that's been in the major league.
So I like that part of it.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Secondly, wit Meryfield, at this point in his story, if
you look at his Wikipedia page, wit Maryfield, it's like
going to Ikea and you buy a coffee table. You
don't get too that right. It's background furniture. It's not
the main event. The main events the sofa. The main events,
the comfortable chair that you've got to the TV. That's
(12:09):
the main event. You don't get excited about an accent
table and with Merryfield, that's what he is. Doesn't get
you all Tingley, it doesn't. Marryfield's thirty five years old
and was batting below the Mendoza line in Philadelphia. That said,
as we have seen with players that have gone to Atlanta,
(12:31):
this guy a couple of years ago that looked like
Pete Rose, Tony Wynn and Ty Cobb against my Dodgers
in the playoffs and then went to the Nationals and suck.
But wearing that Braves uniform has been the equivalent of
waiving a magic wand on multiple players.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
That have gone to Atlanta. All right, is the Ben
Malard Show. If you'd like to comment on any of that,

Why we have a brand new podcast called over Promised.
You see, we're having so much fun in our two
hour show. We never get to everything, honestly, because this
guy is over promising things we never have time for.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah, you blubber list name in me.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should

for years.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna

life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
We get to that right now. We'll get back to
the calls phones on fire. Also, Mallard's Mountain Money coming
up a little bit later in the hour of Mallar's
mount of Money. You'll get that as well. But time
now for the riddle of the day. And here's the
riddle of the day. Track in field, the Olympians cannot
believe blank about the Paris Games.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
That is the question.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
What is the answer to the Mallard Riddle of the
day that sees anyone know the answer?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Does anyone know the answer?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Malard prop guy promoted by alf says, the track and
field athletes are all surprised that their events will be
held on the River Saint. They're shocked by that. Who
else do we have? Ferg Dog says they cannot believe
Ben Maler's winter is coming. Tire rack dot com ad
is still in circulation. Yeah, well that's a sign of
(16:42):
the corporate machine that Fox Sports Radio is such a
large conglomerate that that has been on the air all
year and I've complained to multiple people and.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No one's been able to fix it. Fascinating, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Clamdiver writes in and says, h Mallard Riddle, this year's
javelin will just be chucking a spare into the crowd,
all right. Art of Sports Talk says there's no weed.
The blue cheese is mostly white. From late night drug tester,
who else do we have? Milkman Mike and Colorado says
(17:18):
they cannot believe French cuisine is called food.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
There.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Andy from Lionel Lakes in Minnesota says athletes can't get
over the pp in the wii OI all right, very
nice as Stevie Meatballs says, they're very excited there about
the And this is a term that Eddie likes, the
different sizes of the shuttlecocks that are right there at
Of course that's a sports term.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
The shuttle cock can look it up. Who else you have?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Mason and Huntington Beach listener Mason says the answer to
the Malar riddle of the day. They can't believe how
great nineteen eighties video games were. Yeah, I remember that
track and Field video game, Mason. I played that a
couple of times. I went from that, I went back
to Tron, the Tron arcade, yame, that was my go
to alf the Aileen O Piner says they cannot believe
(18:07):
that there's no poutine on the menu at the Olympics.
How dare you blasphemy? Although they are too far away
from Canada, the Holy Land. The greatest thing the world's
gotten from Canada is poutine. And there's really nothing. Second,
there's really nothing second?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yea? All right? Oh do we have your page? Dan
Uh saw Man says they can't believe that mister China
Lebron will be carrying the flag. He's upset, but that
anabolic steroids, guessed by Fudgie in Boston. Steroid injections will
be administered at the starting line. All right, Eddie, what
say you? Eddie? Here we go. Let's uh again the
(18:42):
Malle riddle.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
If you're you missed it, because we spent a lot
of time on that track and Field Olympians cannot believe
blank about the Paris Games.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
They cannot believe that the track has been painted purple?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
All right? Is that your final answer? Ready?
Speaker 8 (18:57):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Is he not the worst of this? Right? Is he
not terrible this? Right? Is he not sucking this? Do
we not hate Eddy for this?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
You?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Eddie, You're a loser, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I love winners, Lorena.
Speaker 2 (19:19):

Speaker 1 (19:56):
It's a brighter purple.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
It's like a Viking, the old Viking performs back in
the day, Right that was that color purple, wasn't it
back in the day.

Eddie and Charlotte. What's going on? Eddie?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Hey, y'all coming along?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
If I was any better, I'd be a panther, but
not a Carolina panther, because they're bad, man.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
They bad are all right? You guys want to play
a little bit of thumbs up thumbs down?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Oh of course we want to play. Yes, we want
to play thumbs up thumbs down?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Are you kidding me? I love that game. I'm jealous.
I didn't play the game. All right, here's Eddie. We're
playing thumbs up now, Loraina, you can play because all
the answers are thumbs up and thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Every answer played.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
The game, Uh being the nineteen ninety four ninety five
seas and the NBA for Grand Hill and Jason Kidds
that have Cold Rookie of the Year awards thumbs up
for thumbs down would be in favor of that for
the w NBA this year cold Rookie of the Year awards.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
No, no, you gotta pick one.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I'm gonna go thumbs down, eddie, thumbs down, thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
All right, I.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
Say thumbs up. I think it's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Calm down, thumbs up.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Boom.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You can like, you can only have one. It's one award.
You can't. You can't take a saw and cut the
thing in half.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
There's one winner, you know, grow, grow, become an adult
and and pick one.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
All right? What's next?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Okay? Gent what I call the dead part of the year?
Will we really don't have anything we want to watch?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
How dare you?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
How dare you? I gotta do the shorter night. I
don't know what you're talking about. I gotta come in
here every night. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Are we in favor of the NBA or NHL tweaking
their seats until they won't have this bid time before
the NFL season?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, I'm fine. People need to take vacation, get away.
I'm okay.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
There has been talking the past about baseball moving their
season up. You can't do it because of the cold weather.
But they'd like to find a way where they don't
compete as much with the NFL and have their their pleasure.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I don't have the math with that on that would work.
They'd have to play fewer games. But no, I'm gonna
I like it the way it is. Eddie.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Yeah, I would say no as well. The NBA could
move it anywhere they want and I wouldn't watch it,
so it.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Doesn't They could play games in front of Eddie's house
and he would not even go out, so I might.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
I might peek through the curtains.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
You'd be like, what's that noise? Why they are they
dribbling the ball? I'm trying to sleep, Lreya, I'm gonna
do it.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
Thumbs down on that one, Ben, And it's simply because
what I've learned while working here is that sports and
relationships go hand in hand. And during sports season, guess
who does not get as much loving?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Okay, you know it's I don't know, but you don't
just not on Sundays, but there's Tuesdays and Wednesdays there's
no games, and Fridays there's.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Usually no games.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
Your mind is still stuck on sports that whole time.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
You know it multitask Coop.
Speaker 12 (24:26):
As a fan, I'm gonna say thumbs down. As a producer,
I'm gonna say thumbs up.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
So he's it's like he's picking two people to win
the award. I guess your decision.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
This is uh exactly, but but no, my point would
be just follow up on that. I actually kind of
like this time of the year because it's more challenging,
and I like to think it separates those that can
do this properly and those that can't. Anyone could do
a radio show in the middle of the NFL season.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
But I like the fact that we come in here
and you know, I'm talking about a podcaster for the
Lakers and.
Speaker 10 (24:58):
The cream of the crop.
Speaker 9 (24:59):
Ben, You're the cream love the crop.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Of the rest.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
See that's a ben at Eddie right there, Coop, that's
a love that give that one to give that one
a raise, aorry and one and more Eddie.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
One more, yeah, one more, Okay, thumbs.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Up, thumbs down. This is Eddie and Charlotte were playing
thumbs up thumbs down in.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Uh in less than ninety days, probably sixty years old.
Thank you, thank you. Back in the day at halftime
was the only time you got to see scores and interviews,
and sometimes you had to wait till the seven more
nine o'clock news thumbs up for thumbs down. I'll be
having too much interaction during these they come back from commercers.
(25:40):
They got guys should have been the boot that they're
delaying the game of the ten seconds that they could
talk to the coach they got stuck falling.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, so thumbs Should we
go back to the way? Is there too much information overload?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Is your question?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Is is there you go halftime only thumbs up thumbs down.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah, I think there's too much. So I agree there's
too much, but I'm so used to it, I can't
imagine going back to the way it was. I remember
they added the ten minute ticker and people were blown
away by that where they give the scores.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, it was a shocking.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But I'm gonna go thumbs down because I like, you know,
if the game's bad, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Look at some other stuff on my phone or whatever.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
Eddie thumbs down. The good old days mostly.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Sucked at it.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
Yeah, yeah, they sucked about that.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
No, you remember our old colleague Padd O'Brien at the
half they're prudential at the half with padd O'Brien atop
the Boston Garden. No, all right, Oh, no recollection in that.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
I know, I remember it.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I just didn't care, Okay, Lorraina.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
I actually think that they should. They should.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Of course she wants less less information.
Speaker 9 (26:46):
Well no, not simply, not because of anything specific.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
Maybe maybe I'm thinking opposite actually, because we are in
the media and I would love to talk to people
more often.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
But I see where it's taking.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
The interviews are pointless.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
But maybe it's distracting the players.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
No, they don't say anything. They said something, it would
be distracting. They just give cliches. That's all they do.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
It's a waste of time. But the companies pay a
lot of money. The broadcast companies pay a lot of money,
so they have to justify the money set. But we
need access to the playoffs, and they don't money.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
It's the bottom line, as all exactly.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
All right, Eddie, palm more off and we happy early birthday.
We don't do a shoutout, but you're not get to
answer the question. Oh sorry, Cooper tombs down. All right,
I gotta leave time for the game.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
I can't believe we've gone this deep in the show
and not told you about the Summer League Championship game
of the NBA. Oh my god, what a thriller as
the Heat hold off the Grizzlies for a one twenty
one eighteen overtime win.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
This is one of those things that he that blows
my mind because when I when I was younger, I
went to the Summer League. It was in Long Beach.
I went to one in Irvine in southern California, and
nobody gave, nobody cared. The arena was empty, there was
no television, and he just played the games and that
was that. Now it's on every game's on TV. You're
(28:03):
giving the Did you ever give the scores in the
early days.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Of Fox Sports Radio find Summer League, No doubt it,
you didn't. Nobody cared. Why do people care? I don't
know why do people care?
Speaker 8 (28:13):

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well, but I think gambling is a big part of it.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
First Summer League title for Miami, they were six to
zero in the event. Someone named Josh Christopher was named
the MVP. He led the heat with twenty name. I
don't think that's a real person. And how about Scottie
Pippen Junior leading the Grizzlies in defeat with twenty nine
points and eleven assistand.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
No tipping part two?
Speaker 8 (28:32):
