Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good Bye baseball.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number birth three, our number three, and it's
the Baseball Power Hour.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
But it's not gonna be boring. Oh, base Bowl's boring.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
No, it's not gonna be boring. We're gonna make it exciting.
So we go to Boston. We're outfielder Jared Duran says
the Major League Baseball leaders in one run losses, that
would be the Red Sox. That that shows they are
a really good team. Thumbs up or thumbs down? Is
that how this works? Does that work for you that

(00:32):
Jared Duran thinks, because you lose a lot of close games,
you're actually a good team. Is there more to this
move by the Braves to add Freddie Gonzalez as the
third base coach. We'll talk about that mid season coaching change.
And give me your reaction to Trevor Bauer winning a
three hundred thousand dollars settlement from the woman who accused him,

(00:55):
according to the court system, falsely of sexual assault.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
We'll talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
All that and more right now here. It is our
number three, staying at the Heartbreak Hotel. Welcome in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We
are in the air everywhere, brothers in sports talk as

(01:22):
we choose fresh, local, sustainable takes for your ear, drums
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
bast and spivvingly powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from
the Highway on the Highway to hell Overnight talk radio

(01:43):
from the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Ed
and Christina in Spokane years ago. This portion of the
Ben Malors Show on Fox made possible in part by
our friends at ti Iraq. You certainly need some new
tires room room, go over to Tiraq. For over forty years,
tyre Rack has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive. Chip fast end free,

(02:07):
back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options

that tire byd should be so our lead is from
Baseball had a dramatic ending at Chavez Ravine as the
Doyers hit a home run Max Munsei, who was just

(02:28):
legally blind, and then he put glasses on all of
a sudden's hitting like he used to hit, hit a
home run to tight the ninth and then the Mets
decided that they wanted to go out after the game,
and so the outfielder for the Mets out in left field,
played it like he was on the Bad News Bears,
and Freddie Freeman ended up driving in the winning run
in the tent. So the Dodgers won that game with
the Mets last night. But I thought the story here,
which I love a good quote. I love reacting parsing

(02:51):
the words of a good quote. There's a good quote
from Boston. Now, the Angels beat the Red Sox at Finway.
They've already won. I think they've won the first two now,
so I think it's the four games series. So there's
still a couple games to go. But the Angels are
doing pretty well. They won four to three in ten innings. Now,
he said, who cares about that? The Red Sox are
now five games under five hundred. They thought they were

(03:14):
going to be good. They were completely wrong. They suck.
They fought the Red Sox that they were gonna have
a good team this year, and we are now sixty
three games in and that team is garbage.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
So that's what you are. Now.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
They've lost seven of the last ten. They are in
twenty three games, decided by one run. They are six
and seventeen. Now that sounds bad. That sounds bad. How
bad is it? You don't want to know. The seventeen
to one run losses are the most in all of
professional baseball, which leads us to a recent state of

(03:51):
the team address.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Not by Alex Korra, the.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Manager, not by the GM, No, no, no, and not
by even one of the star players, a mid level
player at best. If you didn't see this or hear
about it. Red Sox outfielder Jared Duran. Jared Duran recently
said that he believes that the Boston baseball team, they
have all the tools to compete and all this stuff,

(04:15):
and then he gave the money quote the fact that
they of course lost these games, one run games. He said, quote, personally,
this is Jared Durant of the Red Sox, a player
whose name has come up in trade rumors and whatnot.
He said, personally, I think suffering these one run losses
says that we're a really good team. This is a quote,

(04:36):
says Jared Durant. These one run losses say that we're
a really good team. We've been in a lot of games.
We just need to get over the hump, he yelped.
All right, so let us discuss that is the money quote.
So we're gonna play off that We're gonna parse the
words of this random, nondescript major League baseball player. So

(04:57):
the question Jaron Duran says that the Red Sox, who
lead baseball in one run losses, are a really good team.
Thumbs up or thumbs down? Is that how it works?
Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Is that how it works? The
Red Sox, because they've lost the most one run games,

(05:18):
are a really good team. So I've got music, class,
transformers and marketing poster and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to put the
biscuit in the basket, is what we're going to do.
So first of all, this is a two thumbs down situation,

(05:40):
not one.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Two thumbs down on this. Not in my world.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Now I know there's the multiverse and you could be
in a different dimension than I'm in, But in my
dimension of the multiverse. No, this is a referendum on
manager Alex kra and the ar me of nerds that
have assembled this Red Sox team. Alex Cora got paid

(06:07):
and the team's getting play it appears. And I don't
watch every Red Sox game, but prom and I have
watched him. I watched him a lot this week. He
just looks like he's not into it and he's got
his mind elsewhere. He got paid. And close games come
down to what they come down to execution. They come
down to a decision by the manager and when to

(06:28):
take a relief pitcher out, when to use a certain
pinch hitter, certain call from the dugout. That is what
wins close games. So you have a roster in Boston
that was slung together, was supposed to be a good
team this year and all that stuff, and Alex Cora
failed music school. How do we know he failed music school?

(06:50):
Because he has been striking all the wrong chords in
these close games. It is a cacophony of crap, a
real life rhythmic disaster from a baseball standpoint. And you've
got this hodgepodge of a roster that was thrown together,
and the sucks. They've got to be, as a former
NFL coach, the dumbest team in America in terms of

(07:13):
playing the game. And I do fall back on the
Oukham's razor situation. They should not fall on a race
the Oham's razor situation. Bad teams lose close games, all right.
Bad teams lose close games. Good teams win close games.
This is not that hard. And the idea that because
you're close, you're a good team is poppy cock, is

(07:37):
what it is.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
It's not true on any level. It just means that.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
You suck, and you suck in the same way a
team that loses by eight or nine runs. It's just
more agonizing for the customers that have bought into the
to the the tabernacle of your your sport and your team.
And you are what you I heard that somewhere along
the way you are what you eat. The Red Sox
have been eating l's, a lot of l's, not a

(08:07):
lot of w's, a lot of l's. It's alphabet soup
with all l's. Is what it is, and nothing's going
to change anytime soon. Trade deadline's coming up at the
end of July. Maybe make a trade or the Red
Sox is gonna be buyers or sellers.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Be embarrassing. If the Red Sox are sellers, that's embarrassing
all right. Now.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Secondly, speaking of embarrassing, let's go to Atlanta. We Love
Losers mantra of the show We Love Losers. The struggling
Atlanta Braves made a change in recent days. We haven't
gotten to it yet, several of our listeners. Not Tommy
in Atlanta, he did not message me, but a couple
other Braves fans in the South say.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
What about the talk about this.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Come down?

Speaker 2 (08:48):
So we will get to it right now. We will
address the Komodo dragon in the room. So the Atlanta Braves,
who again fancying themselves a contender this year, they have said, hey,
Matt Tuyasa Sopo, get your ass out of here.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
We're demoting you to the minor league. He had been
the third base coach.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
The Braves brought back former manager Freddie Gonzalez. Are you
old enough to remember when Freddie Gonzalez managed the Atlanta Braves.
So he has been hired as the acting third base
coach of the Atlanta baseball team, and the previous coach
he wasn't fired to Uyasa sol post.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
So I was like a football player.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
He was demoted to some bull crap, no show, minor
league job where you get paid anyway. So Gonzales managed
the Braves for five rather unmemorable seasons in the atl
and current manager Brian Snicker was the third base coach
for a good chunk of that time.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
So is there more to this movie? Here's the question, is.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
There more to this move by the Bravos to add
Freddie Gonzalez Okay as the third base coach. So I'm
gonna put on my tinfoil hat. I don't think you
even need to put your tin foil hat. It's rather obvious.
I think it's obvious reverb. This is what's known as
a transformer story. It's more than meets the eye, or

(10:07):
in this case, more than meets the year. You start
out with the t word timing, You start out with
timing a mid season coaching change. That is not That
is not the norm of the general manager, Alex Anthopolis.
That is not his style. The guy has been a
big league GM going back to his days in Toronto.

(10:28):
I think it's almost fifteen years now. Unless I'm mistaken,
as I understand it, he's never done this like.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
This is not what he does.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
They don't fire coaches during the season, even when they
had some bad teams. They kept the team together. So
why now, that's the question. Why now the Braves if
they were a fish, they'd be a flounder. They're floundering.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
It's rather obvious.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
They're terrible in one run games, not as bad as
the team in Boston, but they're pretty bad. They're also
bad in games decided by two runs. So Gonzales, this
guy was chilling eating pretzels in Pennsylvania and he had
he had his own no show job where he had
some bull crap job with the Commissioner's office where he

(11:13):
didn't do anything important and they paid him and all that.
And he was volunteering, as I understand, some local school
Division III school in Pennsylvania, and the Brig's like, hey,
how would you like the coach third base? We want
to rehire you. He sa, I got nothing else going on.
I'll go back and I'll work in Atlanta. So the
other thing about this is the manager, Brian Sticker in

(11:35):
the GM Andthopolis, we're not on the same page, right
that the manager did not want to get rid of
his third base coach, And that's pretty open. They're pretty
open about that that he had to be convinced to
make this move.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
So what does that tell us? I'm glad you asked.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
So that makes this a saloon move as in last
chance saloon.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
And if it.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Doesn't work out over the next month and a half,
you're unnotice the trade deadlines in July.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
And if it doesn't work out, Brian.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Snicker will officially be decommissioned, decommissioned as the manager of
the Atlanta Braves.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
And who do you think is gonna take over?

Speaker 2 (12:17):
You think there's a chance that, I don't know, Freddie
Gonzalez ends up being promoted in a month and a
half to become the interim manager of the Atlanta Braves.
Maybe it is a warning shot. It is a warning
shot by Alexanthopolis, the GM there in Atlanta, that hey,
your seat's already warm there, Brian Snicker. And now I've

(12:39):
got a little bit of insurance. I've got someone who
used to manage the team's got big league experience. And
so if things continue to go further and further into
the abyss, We're gonna make our move, all right. Final
thought to La La Land we go. Legal update. Legal
update from La La Land. A judge in a story
that did not get a lot of attention. A judge

(13:02):
in Los Angeles ruling that a woman who her name
is Lindsey Hill, according to the story that's on the wires,
violated the terms of a settlement agreement with Trevor Bauer,
the same Cy Young winning pitcher, Trevor Bauer. As a result,

(13:23):
as a result, the woman, she's the one that accused
Bauer of terrible sexual assault crimes, and she was instructed
to pay Bauer over three hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Wow, that's a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Now, you might remember baseball, the wolkesters over at Major
League Baseball with no criminal charges, certainly no conviction, there
were no criminal charges. They punished Bauer anyway because he
had said mean things about rob Manfroud, the commissioner, and
they suspended him in twenty twenty one the dellegations which
never turned out to be anything of substance. So give

(14:05):
me your reaction, Give me your reaction to Trevor Bauer winning,
the former age league baseball player winning a three hundred
thousand dollars settlement from the woman who accused him of
sexual assault. So as the marketing poster reads, loose lips

(14:26):
sink settlements, they sink settlements here over three hundred grand,
as I understand it, all because this woman could not
keep her mouth shut about getting money from Bauer.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
That's why she lost this.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
And people say a fool and their money are soon parted. Well,
here we have another example. So Bauer, he demanded, and
he asked the court. He said, listen, I need ten
thousand dollars for every time this woman violated an agreement
to not talk about a settlem.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
So they went back and they.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Kept track of everything she did and on podcasts and
whatever in other places. And again, as I understand the story,
and so it ended up twenty two times. This woman
talked about it.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Twenty two times.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
So ten thousand here, ten thousand there, ten thousand everywhere.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
So there you go.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
You do the math on that, and then you have
additional money for attorney fees and interest.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
And it actually is over three hundred thousand dollars. It's
three hundred and nine eight hundred and thirty two dollars
and two cents, which is more, by the way, than
the woman received in the insurance payout that she got.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Now, this is what's known as a very small consolation
prize because despite not having a case, at least a
legal case, the woman was able to get Trevor Bauers,
who never pitch in the major leagues again. He's been blacklisted,
he's been ostracized, and with a supply chain shortage bunch
of inferior pitching.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
No one will touch Trevor Bau. They will not.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
And he was never charged with a crime. He was
never obviously convicted. You can't be convicted if you're not
charged with a crime. And no Major League Baseball will franchise.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
We'll go near him.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
The wop Dodgers who are signing flotsam and jets them
off the waiver wire, they won't go near Trevor Bauer.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
They released him in twenty twenty three, and.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Bauer has been toiling in leagues in Mexico and Japan
and elsewhere. And now whether he gets the three hundred thousand,
good luck. It's one thing to win a judgment in court.
It's another thing to actually get the money. So we'll
see if he actually sees any of that money, and
I'm sure he'll be very open to send that out

(16:46):
on social media. It is the Ben Mahler Show. If
