Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
It was an obliteration situation and who the hell cares?
Welcome in the beginning of another week of the Benmahlor Show.
We are in the air everywhere heaven a slugfest as
we talk in the darkest hour, coast to coast, border
(00:56):
to border and beyond on the mast and super up
abundantly powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from the poll
as we pull an all nighter.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
From the Fox Sports Radio studios. As approved by Perito.
This portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made
possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For
over forty years, that's two generations, ti Iraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive. Ship fast and freeback by free road
(01:30):
hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
Alf's a big fan of that. Alf who loves the
mail bag on the Fifth Hour podcast not so much
though Fergdock did not send a letter in this this week,
so maybe he's not as big a fan. But ti
iraq dot com the way tire buying should be and
(01:52):
very exciting, very exciting. So our lead this hour as
we begin the brand new week a story. I'm told
I have to start with story. Everyone wants to know
what I think of this start because my opinion matters,
So we'll start in Los Angeles. The fourth of July
weekend has come and gone. The pyrotechnic shows have ended,
(02:13):
although I did see some fireworks on the way into
the studio, so they're still going on in many places.
But the cheating a one one thousand and two one
thousand holes were stopping by Sokal and they monster mashed
the cheaters against the Dodgers this weekend. There was a
lot of joy, a lot of euphoria among the fan base.
(02:39):
There those that support the vermin of baseball, the deplorable,
cheating scumbags of Major League Baseball. So I don't know
if you watched the end. If you probably didn't because
you're not doing things where you sit and watch a
stupid game on television, because you know stuff going on
holiday weekend, spend time with friends and family and all that. Well,
it started out within eighteen to one annihilation. It was
(03:04):
to the point where Oral Hersheiser Dodger broadcasters said, well,
maybe these guys are cheating again, and it certainly looked
that way, and it'd be hard to argue they weren't.
It would be hard to argue and have any other
point than they Why were they not doing it again?
They did it before they got away with it. So
that was on Friday, continued through Sunday, the old sweep.
(03:26):
So let us discuss the question. And here it is
for the esteem panther. You have a message for the
Houston fans who seem to be orgasmic over beating up
the Dodgers over the weekend. So my thoughts on this.
I've got big tobacco, pepe le pew and cream puff
(03:48):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to have a Smorgesborg is what we're
going to have. So a do I have a message.
Of course we have message. We have a big message
for the Houston fans, and we've been on there for
years on the radio dial there and Houston. In fact,
we happen to be on the Astro station, which is
(04:09):
quite quite amusing, but absolutely so for mister Irrigation and
o Cho Texto and Alex the Cynical and Ivan the
Terrible and all these other characters who either used to
live in Houston or live there now or Houston adjacent
and all that stuff. All you other blokes, you know
who you are. Okay, we don't give a rats ass
(04:34):
that the Houston Astros just swept the Dodger. The can
go sweep the Padres, they can sweep the Tigers, they
can go sweep the twenty seven frickin' Yankees for all
I care. It doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter
to me. They can reincarnate Babe Ruth and they can
strike Babe Ruth out every time. It doesn't matter, because
(04:55):
it's heard. Polishing is what it is, right, and you're
not supposed to be able to polisher turd and the
Astros are turds, is what they are. And you can
try all you want to rewrite history, right, try to
rewrite history because you want a few games in July
of twenty twenty five. Congratulations, whoa oh man, we won
(05:21):
some games in July of twenty twenty five. Who cares? Right? Seriously?
Right this weekend? It changes nothing. I know that's tough
for you to handle. I know you. Oh, this guy's
just a gas bag. I speak the gospel, Okay, I
(05:41):
speak the gospel. I'll tell you why. Here's why. Because
in twenty seventeen. No, I've not forgotten in twenty seventeen.
And let me say this slowly for those of you
in the back of the room that are hungover from
your holiday weekend. Here all right, the Houston eh Shrows cheated.
(06:03):
Capital CE Capital CE cheated. They didn't bend the rules.
Wasn't just a little bend of the rules. No, no, no, no, no.
They didn't find some competitive edge. Some of you a
holes like they say that, oh it was just a
competitive edge bend. Why are you such a a schmuck?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
They chat dead chake dead fall stop.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
That's it. C h E a t E day chet it.
They cheated. They banged on trash cans, bite bind in
the freaking World Series. They did it. It was in
the World Series video. Major League Baseball is so stupid.
They put this in the Major League Baseball produced World
(06:48):
Series video. The table that they used to send the
signs in to the batters. Okay, they cheated, and it
was in the World Series video from twenty They were
banging on trash cans like a toddler on a candy high,
right a sugar rush, and all that. They used all
(07:09):
kinds of illicit methods to steal signs that year, like
a kleptomaniac walking through the Astros souvenir shop and just
I'll take a hat, I'll throw that down my shorts.
I'll take a shirt, I'll shove that up, Mike Keysner,
whatever I have to do. And they did it, all,
(07:30):
all of it, all of it to get a worthless,
worthless hunk of metal. It's called a commissioner of Major
League Baseball. Just a worthless hunk of metal. And when
you think about it, there's a lot of parts to this. Obviously.
The reason that I have not forgotten and we'll never
(07:51):
forget is for the most part they got away with
Major League Baseball endorsed it. They indorsed cheating, which is
odd because I see them punishing random baseball players for
being involved in gambling. Some no name pitcher for the
Cleveland Guardians is currently on time out because he could
have been involved in gambling. But a team cheating in
(08:13):
the World Series, we're good. We're good. Nah, We're fine.
And the reason that happened is because baseball has a
leadership vacuum. They have a spineless, toothless commissioner who is
still the commissioner of Major League Baseball. No vacated title
for a team that cheated in the World Series, no
(08:34):
postseason ban, No player got suspended who took part in
illicit activity. In fact, the only few people that got punished,
they're all back. They're all back in baseball, right, all
of them. The manager of the George Tigers right now
was the manager when the Tiger, when the a holes
were cheating there in Houston. He's now managing the Tigers.
(08:56):
So now we can't even enjoy what they're doing in
Detroit because it's sullied because of the manager. And I
go down the list, right, and it was a not
even a slap on the wrist, that's what even counts
a slap, you hit the wrist. It hurts a little bit.
That wasn't even that. Rob Manford, the toothless, gutless commissioner
(09:17):
of Major League Baseball, What an embarrassment eight years out? Nothing.
In fact, Baseball ran interference for the schmucks. They ran interference.
They ran a PR campaign, a PR campaign. Now, when
I was a little kid, my dad tried to get
me don't smoke cigarettes. When I was a kid, everyone's
smoking cigaret. My Dad's like, don't smoke cigarettes. Might might
(09:40):
big tobacco. Right, what major League Baseball did to cover
for the Asstros cheating is next level. It's like big
tobaccos and aw cigarettes aren't bad for you, They're good.
Go for it, you know, smoke your lungs out. They
ran interference for the scoundrel And so because of a
random series July four, fourth weekend where the a Holes
(10:03):
beat the Dodgers, the good guys three games in a row,
Like somehow that changes something. No, it just reinforces what
we all we already knew, truth, justice in the in
the American way of fighting the a Holes from Houston.
And how are things looking, by the way, how are
things looking for the face, the duplicitors face. It's a
(10:25):
small face. It's a little face of the Astros. That
would be Jose al Tuoba, better known by his forever
nickname al Boovey. Hey up, pad him down, check him
for the buzzer. Yeah, so he is forever branded no
matter what he does. And he only got a couple
(10:46):
of years left in baseball. But al Bouve has been
branded as the guy who wouldn't let his jersey get
ripped off after a walk off homer in the American
League Championship Series in twenty seventeen, a year that he
won them most Bogus MVP award of all time. The
little fella, he said at the time, I'm shy. I'm shy.
(11:08):
My wife doesn't like that. Yeah, and if you believe
that you are the most gullible man in the world. No,
he didn't have the jersey. He want the jersey riped
off because he had a buzzer. Hey, check him for
the buzzer. Right now. We've heard better excuses. Now, we
heard a lot of excuses over these. We have heard
better excuses from the guy that gets caught, you know,
(11:30):
goes home from the night out with the fellows at
the bar has lipstick all over his collar. There's better
excuses from that guy than the Astros with al Buve
and the buzzer. Right, and you can win all the
games with every game doesn't matter. Right. You can trot
out your shiny roster of players there and all this
analytics department brag about that flex and all that, and
(11:54):
your smug little smirks you a holes. It changes nothing,
right because al Bouve is the pepe le pew of baseball.
Pe you what stakes Albo, that's who stinks. He'll never
outrun it. It doesn't matter what the man does. The
(12:16):
real ones know the truth. The real ones know the truth.
You can't outrun that stench. You can't do it, can't
do it. You're not fast enough. And when people say
Houston Astros, they don't think of greatness, they don't think
of a sustained dynasty. They think another d word, disgrace,
(12:40):
because that is what that franchise is. So go ahead,
Astro fanboys, celebrate, go got, go, go crazy, knock yourself out,
and I understand you'd be a real team the Dodgers. Congratulations,
Probably cheated while you were doing it, because that's what
you do. Why would you stop? You got away with
it baseball indorste it. They ran a big tobacco type
campaign to cover for you, so why would you not
(13:00):
keep doing it? Right? Nothing has changed, nothing has changed.
No matter how many wins, go back to the World
Series again, doesn't matter. Right, doesn't matter. You are forever
known as a team that needed a trash can a
trash can to beat the Dodgers in the World Series
(13:21):
and oh, by the way, didn't even outscore the Dodgers
and need to go to seven games to win the
World Series wald cheating. Think about how much better the
twenty seventeen Dodger team was when the Houston team. The
Houston team was. They were cheating, They knew what was
coming on most of the pitchers, and the Dodgers took
them to a game seven. How embarrassing would have been
(13:44):
a sweep. Without that would have been a sweep. It's
gotta suck to if you're an Albouve fan. Albuve is
not going to the Hall of Fame. He's not. He's not.
They won't put in Barry Bonds, they won't put in
Roger Clements. Those guys, I'd put them in instead of
alt Bouve. Maybe when he's dead, like Pete Rose, they'll
(14:05):
put him in the Hall of Fame, all right, now,
last word, So turning the page from that, we had
a shakeup in the managerial ranks and the front office
of Major League Baseball. The guillotine, the hammer of death
came down, well baseball death in DC. What is your
knee jerk reaction on your knee jerk reaction to the
(14:26):
Nationals saying bye bye and firing Davy Martinez, the manager
in the GM, Mike Rizzo, who really heroes to us.
You might remember they beat the cheating a holes in
a World Series years ago. Been many years since then,
So my reaction is what took so long? Right, as
far as the Nationals are concerned, the Nats have been
(14:48):
a hot mess. Now we don't talk about the Nationals.
Why would we, We want people to actually listen. But
the Nationals have been a hot mess, plain and simple.
They're so bad. How bad are they? Even ostrich Ant,
who lives in DC and drives a bus around the
dcra he got a good job, right, union job. He
won't even watch the Nationals. That's how much they sucked, right,
And you think about the Nationals. Both these guys, Rizzo
(15:12):
and Martinez, the GM and the manager are past their
expiration date. And that World Series they won, while it
was glorious and we enjoyed it, it was six years ago,
and the Nationals have been stumbling and bumbling in the
desert of mediocrity without any water ever since then. How
bad has it been since the high water mark the
(15:33):
twenty nineteen World Series, the miraculous World Series run the
team from the Greater DC area, there has posted I believe,
five straight losing seasons and they are all but guaranteed
to have number six year and twenty twenty five. And
the Nationals Ballpark is not the factory of sadness. It's
the museum of misery, is what it is. They're watching
(15:56):
the Nationals who have lost that two. They don't have
that attitude anymore. I don't know where it went. Davy Martinez,
his comments, that's the big story here. He made some comments.
We talked about them briefly on the show. Davy Martinez
defended his coaching staff with the Nationals. Now to say
that just ruffled some feathers, that's a bit of an understatement.
(16:17):
It's a bit of an understatement. He actually apparently torched
the clubhouse. The softies in the Washington National Clubhouse. Not
only are they bad baseball, they can't take criticism. Now again,
Davy Martinez said, It's never on coaching, he said at
the time. Never, It's always on the players, Davey Martinez said,
(16:39):
And that is all she wrote. That is all she wrote.
Those cream puffs better known as Nationals players the cream
plus she changed her name from Nationals to Creampuffs. Looks
like they ripped off a drug stores logo anyway, with
the w there. So the Creampuff players did not appreciate that.
(17:02):
Davey Martinez put the almighty finger blame pointed that right
in their direction. And so the players were shocked, dismayed,
bewildered and could not handle it. They were pissed off,
and so he lost the clubous Now gim Mike Rizzo.
We famously fought with him years ago over the usage
of Stephen Strasburg. You might remember the Nationals baby Stephen Strasburg.
(17:25):
So he could turn out to retire early anyway, they
were saving him so his career would be cut short.
So he's been with the Nationals for almost twenty years
in the front office. He was also the general manager
over the last almost almost twelve full seasons. I think
(17:45):
it was sometime in twenty thirteen, and he survived several
managers before Davey Martinez and him took their exit strategy
there and won the World Series. So you say a
successful one. They did win the World Series Cup. I
think it was three NL East Tighitos under Mike Rizzo.
But right now, when you know your time's up, when
you've been there for as long as Rizzo's been there
(18:07):
and your baseball team is closer to the Rockies than
it is to a playoff spot, so good luck on that.
And player development, well, none of the guys the Nationals
draft turned out to be all that great. The players
they got from the Padres for Juan Soto, those guys
seem to know what they're doing. But they to be fair,
they do have a cheap owner. I thought the national
(18:31):
is going to be sold a couple years ago, and
they haven't been sold the same ownership groups there. It's
been three years. I know it takes a long time
to sell a multi billion dollar sports entity. It's been
been a while, so they got cheap ownership. But there's
no excuse for the crappy product that is on the
field there. You know, even you know, your Tampa Bay
and some of these other teams that don't spend money,
(18:51):
they still put a team that's somewhat competitive on the field.
The Nationals are on pace to win sixty eight games,
by the way, this year, and they have no pipeline.
They need a plunger. The pipelines clogged there. For the Nationals.
It's an unstable franchise. See if that Learner family finally
sells the Nationals here. But man, so they just gave
(19:13):
the mass extermination to everyone. Now he's had a good job. Well,
there's only thirty, right, there's only thirty baseball teams, or
thirty two baseball teams, I think it. So there's not
that many baseball teams. So that's it. And they pay
pretty well. And DC A lot of people like living
in DC. If you like hanging out with slimeball politicians
(19:34):
and people like that, it's nice. I guess outside DC,
I'm Virginia, Marylands. Some nice plays of lip.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Even when winning, it still ends up being a bronx
blooper kind of a weekend. Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are in
the air ywhere, using pitchforks as we beard the lion
(20:51):
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
mast and stratophirically powerful microphones of FSR em monating live
from the Crawl the pub Crawl all night long from
the Fox sports radio studios as approved by JD in Boston.
Who knows This portion of the Ben Maler Show on
(21:14):
Fox made possible in part by our friends at tire Iraq.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what, where and where
they drive all of that ship fast and freeback by
free road hazard protection, with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation. Tire iraq dot com the way tire buying
(21:36):
should be. So our lead this hour is from the
Big Apple. July fourth weekend has now come and gone,
and baseball trying to take ownership of the weekend. It
was not must see TV for me. Were you enchanted?
Were you enchanted by Major League Baseball? They made that
a mandate. They got, Well, the NFL and the NBA
(21:59):
can over Thanksgiving and over Christmas, but July fourth, Baby,
there's no NFL games on July fourth, There's no NBA
games on July fourth. It's all about the baseball, right,
So they made it a big deal. And to me,
the big deal was the hot dog eating contest. We
mentioned that in the fifth Hour podcast The dog Father.
(22:21):
The greatest athlete in our lifetimes. The Great Joey Chestnutt
doing it yet again in Brooklyn over the weekend, but
over in Queen's not that far away there. The Mets
and Yankees wrapped up the weekend series on Sunday, so
if you were not watching this, you might have missed it.
Aaron Judge a Judge Tonian thirty third home run and
(22:46):
Cody Bellinger, a one time MVP who's now a vagabond
outfielder bouncing from team to team. He started a key
double play. The Yankees got some help from the umpires,
and they needed it to stop a six game losing streak.
They did for the moment, stop the bleeding beat the
(23:06):
Mets six to four on Sunday, All star Max Freed.
It's amazing a guy signs a big contract actually shows
up in pitches and plays well. Max Freed unlike Blake
Snepp bra playing as I got mon Bro, Blake snout well,
Max Freed went out there risking his life. Apparently he's
eleven and two and more importantly, the definition of a
(23:28):
big time starter is someone where you're losing and you
put that guy in the mound, you automatically win. So
Max Freed in twelve starts after the Yankees had lost
the game. He's nine and one, nine and one couple
of non decisions in that. So let us discuss the
(23:49):
key question here is not so much from the Yankees
winning on Sunday, but it's more about the commentary recently
of the face of the New York Yankee when asked
about the recent stretch of futility. Even with that win
on Sunday, it's been a bad month for the Yankees.
Going back to the early part of June, when asked
(24:12):
if the recent struggles are taking a toll on the
Yankee clubhouse, Aaron Judge simply said, no is what he said.
So how did his response? How did his response work
for the electorate in the Bronx. So, I've got Trump National,
Michelin star chef, and Vegan pot luck, and we will
(24:37):
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make some popcorn, freshly made buttered popcorn. Wonderful, all right?
So number one, Aaron Judge, mister big man on campus there,
this was cringe worthy. He gets the badge, the Scouts
badge for cringe. Aaron Judge does here, mister l Capitan,
(25:02):
the captain of the Yankees, the face of the franchise,
six foot seven Lumberjack, a human billboard for the Bronx
Bombers and all that. But he said the thing you
can't say at the time, you can't say it. And
it's not so much about one quote. It's not so
much about that. It's about what that particular quote represents.
(25:23):
It's about the tone. It's about being aware. Situational awareness,
very important, situational awareness. Now you don't have to be
a Navy seal, but you should have situational awareness to
know that that is not the time nor the place
to say what Aaron Judge said over the weekend. It's
about understanding the moment, understanding the fan base, understanding the customers,
all of that. And Aaron Judge just looked out of place,
(25:48):
looked out of place, doesn't want to deal with it.
So he's gonna kind of run away from the heat
a little bit. Oh no, no, we're fine. Everything is
fine here. Absolutely So he's reading off a Q card
at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in a submarine.
But if you're honest, even with the win against the
Mets on Sunday, the Yankees continue to be a hot mess.
(26:10):
And the one win does not change things here. The
Yankees over their last twenty two games have lost sixteen
of their last twenty two games. Now, I didn't play
in the major leagues. I just host an over and
I talked show that sucks. Okay where I sit there,
she blows, as they say in Pirate Land. So sixteen
losses in the last twenty two games for the Yankees,
(26:33):
and you are what your record says you are, and
of late, that is not a good baseball team. And
they're playing like a team going through the motions. You
see a lot of the time teams that are eliminated
from playoff consideration, and they just kind of lolly gagaround
like the whole thing. It's been a boondoggle for the
Yankees lately. And you don't want to hear when you're
(26:55):
going through a rough patch like this, everything's fine. You
don't want to hear it. Right, that's not leadership, that's
not accountability by Aaron Judge, and it's not even reality
is It's just not it's not anything. You're the captain
of the New York Yankees. You're not playing for the
Toledo mud Hens. You're not. Uh So, the Yankees, the
(27:16):
mighty New York team. You love the brag or of
Yankee baseball, this, that and the other thing. So you
don't just get to strug off, you know, shrug off
with a wink and a nod. A bad month of baseball,
like it's a bad round of golf at the Trump
National and you just said, well, it was just not
my day and my clubs were not we're not working
the right way. No, you don't get to do that.
(27:37):
And you know you got to at least pretend like
you're upset. Right, you're the captain of the Yankees. Again,
when teams losing, the fans are booing and they're unhappy.
You don't get to act like it's business as usual
when you're the captain of the yank and you just
can't can't be doing it. You're supposed to set the tone.
(27:58):
I think that's that's where to go. You carry the
wait and you can't say no to that. When asked
if the team's unrappling, it's obviously unraveling, and you know,
he said, well, you can say a lot of different cliches,
that's not the one to say, though. He said, well,
it's frustrating we'll be better. We got to be better,
all those kind of things. But you gotta show some
kind of pulse, some kind of pulse and uh right now,
(28:20):
and Judge seem tone death. Seemed tone death. And it's
like he's more worried about his next commercial shoot than
he is the Yankees, who have fallen behind the Toronto
Blue Jays in the American League East stand. He's now
page two to Pittsburgh, PA. We go, well, actually Seattle,
where the Pirates were about as far away from Pittsburgh
(28:41):
as they can get over the weekend. And the old
sweeperoo bupkis zip bow and zero for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
After shutting out the Cardinals for three games in a row,
they got shut out for three games in a row.
So that continues a recent stretch, oh the stinkage for
(29:01):
the Pirates, including the game on Sunday started by Paul
Skeins his last twelve starts. His last twelve starts for
the Pirates, he has an earned run average. Paul Skins,
the phenom of phenoms, has an earn run average of
one point eighty four. We are told, yet his one
loss record his last twelve starts one win and five losses,
(29:25):
the buckoes record in those twelve starts. So what does
that signify to you? What does that signify to you?
That's the question. So for me, the er right, the
king of earn run average and domination situation and all
this stuff. The ace the record says, hey, this guy
(29:46):
is an ACE, but right now, when he's pitching, it's
like ace Ventura for the rest of the pirates there.
It's not going so well there, and it's not misleading,
it's insulting when this guy's pitching and you've only won
one of he's only won one of the twelve starts,
and yet he's got an ERA under two and the buckos.
(30:09):
When you have a pitcher this good, right, it's like
you've given a Michelin Star check. You're apparently not able
to eat at Michelin Star restaurants, court and people I
work with, But the Michelin Star chef. You give the
chef a microwave and you say, make it work, right,
just make it work. Put in the microwave, heat it up.
But you've got a generational arm, like once in a
generation the guy comes along like Paul Skins, and you're
(30:32):
essentially backing him with a super soaker water gun is
what you're doing on offense. And then the Bucos are
looking at Picasso and they're using a Picasso. They bought
a Picasso and they're using it as a coaster on
the end table. It's a nice pocassa. We'll put it
down here, we'll put a drink on it, and that's it.
And you keep hanging ls and he's pitching great, he's
(30:56):
pitching amazingly. And you know, Paul Skins is everything he
was supposed to be in terms of the hype and
all that. And usually these guys don't live up to
the hype. We've ranted about a prospect as a suspect
until proven otherwise. And he's done it. And yet the
pirates are also living up to the hype. Everything we
thought the pirates were, they are. When Paul Skins is
on the mount. So this stretch, it signifies cut to
(31:19):
the chase. It signifies that if he keeps us up,
he is going to need some therapy a trade. Both
all of the above, all of that and the pirates
who have been given not because if they did any good,
you get Paul Skins because you're bad and you have
a top pick in the draft, and they had a
high pick and they got Paul Skins. They've been given
(31:41):
this great pitcher and they're gonna blow it it, fletts
it away, and then eventually he'll be pitching for the Dodgers,
of the Yankees, of the Red Sox, and they'll get
a bag of suspects. All right, now, final point, So
flipping the page, we mentioned the trade deadline we talked
about last hour. Brian Reynolds of the Pirates. He's he's
got one hundred million dollars contract, he's not particularly great,
(32:04):
and he's got a no trade list. So the Dodgers
who would like to acquire his services cannot trade for
him unless he approves the trade because he has them
on their no trade list. So I mentioned that because
another player who is likely going to be traded Eugenio Suarez,
the third basem Gino Swarez of the Diamondbacks. He is
(32:26):
grabbing a lot of attention here before the trade deadline,
and he's got now twenty eight home runs, seventy three RBIs,
and the Yankees and the Seattle Mariners, along with the
Detroit Tigers and some other teams all said to be
knocking on the door there saying, hey, can we get
our hands on this guy? So how does all of
(32:47):
that sound to you? How does all of that sound
to you? So to me, Gino swore as the third
baseman of the diving right now, he's not just the
flavor of the month. Here's one things about the trade deadline.
There's always got to be that flavor, that popular person
for popular people. But he's pretty much the entire tasting menu.
(33:09):
If you look at who's likely going to be traded,
it was always the surprise. The great thing about sports
is anyone can be traded at any time. If you
don't believe me, ask Luka Doncic about that. The Mavericks
just handed him away to the Lakers. So anything is
possible in any sport. But here's a guy who's like
a silver slugger candidate and he's out there and it's
(33:31):
you know, it's like, hey, this guy could be moved
like a bowl of chili at a cookoff. Just get
rid of this guy. That's it. And now the trade
deadline looming, and it's like a bad hangover for a
lot of these teams. Here the vultures are out circling around,
and so of course the Yankees, who need a third basement,
would say, all right, this guy Swarez, let's see we
can get him. And it's like the last steak at
(33:54):
a vegan pot luck if you're the Yankees. They want
to move Jazz Chisholm full time. I'm to second base
and DJ Lemayhew to the bench or to the broadcast
booth on the S network and just put him out
there and have him do his thing. So there is that,
and now the Mariners's that's the perfect Mariner move. They
had him, they traded him. He was in Seattle, came
(34:17):
over from Cincinnati. They traded him to Arizona. So now
they're like, well, maybe we'll get him back. It's like
we got that item on Amazon. We returned it, but
now we're going to buy it again. We already had it,
but no, I know we won't. We we didn't appreciate it,
but now we want it. We want to buy the
item again. So we'll just do that. And now they're
trying to undo the damage. So maybe I'll have a
(34:38):
reunion tour. And there's some other teams mentioned, and you know,
it's like the Mariners, though, would be perfect. He's such
a great classic Mariner move where they trade for a
guy that it's like breaking up with your ex and
then you watch the X go on and do some
really good things and you're like, all right, well, let's
see if we can get that get back together with
the X. And the bottom line, though, he is a
(35:01):
rental at the trade down line, which is why these
big market teams likely won. And he's also thirty three
years old, so he's at the end of his athletic
prime and not hitting for much of an average, but
that's a boomer stat. That's an old head stat. That
batting average, twenty eight hole runs, and the numbers all
indicate that he's still uber productive, still one of the
better offensive power hitters in baseball, and the kind of
(35:25):
a player that in a playoff run could play well
for a couple of weeks in October and all of
a sudden, you get a hunk of metal.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
It's smaller, how about that? To the third degree? This
is one big fan gets great, all right? Cool.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
The Miami Dolphins had one of the top offensives in
the NFL in twenty twenty three, but missed the playoffs
last year the summer saying the team is teetering on
the edge of a franchise reset. But do you think
the jobs of Tua and McDaniel are on the line
next season?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Well, as you heard last week, I know you weren't here,
but I know you listen to the show because you're
producing it. So I did a full mallar monologue about
this particular topic. And as I pointed out in that
Mallard monologue can available on the podcast download absolutely to
and Mike McDaniel and the GM there, all of them.
This is it. This is the last chance saloon there
for the Dolphins. Even Stevin Meatballs can see that.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
Next cal Raley has reached new career high in home
runs for a single season and we haven't even reached
the All Star break. In fact, he's tied Ken Griffy
Junior's Mariners record for most dingers before the break. Do
you think the al MVP is the big numbers to lose.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
No, because the Mariners are a playoff team. They're a
wild kid team. So are the Yankees. But Aaron Judge
is in the lead and he's It would be a
monumental upset if Aaron Judge does not win the MVP
Award in the Americanly and Cal Rawley's been great and
wonderful and all that, but he plays in Seattle. That's
going to hurt him.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Next, the Suns gave Devin Booker another extension. He's gonna
be signed with them through twenty thirty. With Durant now
in Houston, the Suns are in rebuild mode. Do you
think that Booker is a player worth building around?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Well? They can try. They were in the finals against Milwaukee.
They couldn't get it done. They're not gonna win with
Devin Booker as their headliner. It's not gonna work. How
do we do passes?
Speaker 5 (37:13):
There?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
It is? That's a win putter on the board.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
It was an obliteration situation and who the hell cares?
Welcome in the beginning of another week of the Benmahlor Show.
We are in the air everywhere heaven a slugfest as
we talk in the darkest hour, coast to coast, border
(00:56):
to border and beyond on the mast and super up
abundantly powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from the poll
as we pull an all nighter.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
From the Fox Sports Radio studios. As approved by Perito.
This portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made
possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For
over forty years, that's two generations, ti Iraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive. Ship fast and freeback by free road
(01:30):
hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
Alf's a big fan of that. Alf who loves the
mail bag on the Fifth Hour podcast not so much
though Fergdock did not send a letter in this this week,
so maybe he's not as big a fan. But ti
iraq dot com the way tire buying should be and
(01:52):
very exciting, very exciting. So our lead this hour as
we begin the brand new week a story. I'm told
I have to start with story. Everyone wants to know
what I think of this start because my opinion matters,
So we'll start in Los Angeles. The fourth of July
weekend has come and gone. The pyrotechnic shows have ended,
(02:13):
although I did see some fireworks on the way into
the studio, so they're still going on in many places.
But the cheating a one one thousand and two one
thousand holes were stopping by Sokal and they monster mashed
the cheaters against the Dodgers this weekend. There was a
lot of joy, a lot of euphoria among the fan base.
(02:39):
There those that support the vermin of baseball, the deplorable,
cheating scumbags of Major League Baseball. So I don't know
if you watched the end. If you probably didn't because
you're not doing things where you sit and watch a
stupid game on television, because you know stuff going on
holiday weekend, spend time with friends and family and all that. Well,
it started out within eighteen to one annihilation. It was
(03:04):
to the point where Oral Hersheiser Dodger broadcasters said, well,
maybe these guys are cheating again, and it certainly looked
that way, and it'd be hard to argue they weren't.
It would be hard to argue and have any other
point than they Why were they not doing it again?
They did it before they got away with it. So
that was on Friday, continued through Sunday, the old sweep.
(03:26):
So let us discuss the question. And here it is
for the esteem panther. You have a message for the
Houston fans who seem to be orgasmic over beating up
the Dodgers over the weekend. So my thoughts on this.
I've got big tobacco, pepe le pew and cream puff
(03:48):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to have a Smorgesborg is what we're
going to have. So a do I have a message.
Of course we have message. We have a big message
for the Houston fans, and we've been on there for
years on the radio dial there and Houston. In fact,
we happen to be on the Astro station, which is
(04:09):
quite quite amusing, but absolutely so for mister Irrigation and
o Cho Texto and Alex the Cynical and Ivan the
Terrible and all these other characters who either used to
live in Houston or live there now or Houston adjacent
and all that stuff. All you other blokes, you know
who you are. Okay, we don't give a rats ass
(04:34):
that the Houston Astros just swept the Dodger. The can
go sweep the Padres, they can sweep the Tigers, they
can go sweep the twenty seven frickin' Yankees for all
I care. It doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter
to me. They can reincarnate Babe Ruth and they can
strike Babe Ruth out every time. It doesn't matter, because
(04:55):
it's heard. Polishing is what it is, right, and you're
not supposed to be able to polisher turd and the
Astros are turds, is what they are. And you can
try all you want to rewrite history, right, try to
rewrite history because you want a few games in July
of twenty twenty five. Congratulations, whoa oh man, we won
(05:21):
some games in July of twenty twenty five. Who cares? Right? Seriously?
Right this weekend? It changes nothing. I know that's tough
for you to handle. I know you. Oh, this guy's
just a gas bag. I speak the gospel, Okay, I
(05:41):
speak the gospel. I'll tell you why. Here's why. Because
in twenty seventeen. No, I've not forgotten in twenty seventeen.
And let me say this slowly for those of you
in the back of the room that are hungover from
your holiday weekend. Here all right, the Houston eh Shrows cheated.
(06:03):
Capital CE Capital CE cheated. They didn't bend the rules.
Wasn't just a little bend of the rules. No, no, no, no, no.
They didn't find some competitive edge. Some of you a
holes like they say that, oh it was just a
competitive edge bend. Why are you such a a schmuck?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
They chat dead chake dead fall stop.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
That's it. C h E a t E day chet it.
They cheated. They banged on trash cans, bite bind in
the freaking World Series. They did it. It was in
the World Series video. Major League Baseball is so stupid.
They put this in the Major League Baseball produced World
(06:48):
Series video. The table that they used to send the
signs in to the batters. Okay, they cheated, and it
was in the World Series video from twenty They were
banging on trash cans like a toddler on a candy high,
right a sugar rush, and all that. They used all
(07:09):
kinds of illicit methods to steal signs that year, like
a kleptomaniac walking through the Astros souvenir shop and just
I'll take a hat, I'll throw that down my shorts.
I'll take a shirt, I'll shove that up, Mike Keysner,
whatever I have to do. And they did it, all,
(07:30):
all of it, all of it to get a worthless,
worthless hunk of metal. It's called a commissioner of Major
League Baseball. Just a worthless hunk of metal. And when
you think about it, there's a lot of parts to this. Obviously.
The reason that I have not forgotten and we'll never
(07:51):
forget is for the most part they got away with
Major League Baseball endorsed it. They indorsed cheating, which is
odd because I see them punishing random baseball players for
being involved in gambling. Some no name pitcher for the
Cleveland Guardians is currently on time out because he could
have been involved in gambling. But a team cheating in
(08:13):
the World Series, we're good. We're good. Nah, We're fine.
And the reason that happened is because baseball has a
leadership vacuum. They have a spineless, toothless commissioner who is
still the commissioner of Major League Baseball. No vacated title
for a team that cheated in the World Series, no
(08:34):
postseason ban, No player got suspended who took part in
illicit activity. In fact, the only few people that got punished,
they're all back. They're all back in baseball, right, all
of them. The manager of the George Tigers right now
was the manager when the Tiger, when the a holes
were cheating there in Houston. He's now managing the Tigers.
(08:56):
So now we can't even enjoy what they're doing in
Detroit because it's sullied because of the manager. And I
go down the list, right, and it was a not
even a slap on the wrist, that's what even counts
a slap, you hit the wrist. It hurts a little bit.
That wasn't even that. Rob Manford, the toothless, gutless commissioner
(09:17):
of Major League Baseball, What an embarrassment eight years out? Nothing.
In fact, Baseball ran interference for the schmucks. They ran interference.
They ran a PR campaign, a PR campaign. Now, when
I was a little kid, my dad tried to get
me don't smoke cigarettes. When I was a kid, everyone's
smoking cigaret. My Dad's like, don't smoke cigarettes. Might might
(09:40):
big tobacco. Right, what major League Baseball did to cover
for the Asstros cheating is next level. It's like big
tobaccos and aw cigarettes aren't bad for you, They're good.
Go for it, you know, smoke your lungs out. They
ran interference for the scoundrel And so because of a
random series July four, fourth weekend where the a Holes
(10:03):
beat the Dodgers, the good guys three games in a row,
Like somehow that changes something. No, it just reinforces what
we all we already knew, truth, justice in the in
the American way of fighting the a Holes from Houston.
And how are things looking, by the way, how are
things looking for the face, the duplicitors face. It's a
(10:25):
small face. It's a little face of the Astros. That
would be Jose al Tuoba, better known by his forever
nickname al Boovey. Hey up, pad him down, check him
for the buzzer. Yeah, so he is forever branded no
matter what he does. And he only got a couple
(10:46):
of years left in baseball. But al Bouve has been
branded as the guy who wouldn't let his jersey get
ripped off after a walk off homer in the American
League Championship Series in twenty seventeen, a year that he
won them most Bogus MVP award of all time. The
little fella, he said at the time, I'm shy. I'm shy.
(11:08):
My wife doesn't like that. Yeah, and if you believe
that you are the most gullible man in the world. No,
he didn't have the jersey. He want the jersey riped
off because he had a buzzer. Hey, check him for
the buzzer. Right now. We've heard better excuses. Now, we
heard a lot of excuses over these. We have heard
better excuses from the guy that gets caught, you know,
(11:30):
goes home from the night out with the fellows at
the bar has lipstick all over his collar. There's better
excuses from that guy than the Astros with al Buve
and the buzzer. Right, and you can win all the
games with every game doesn't matter. Right. You can trot
out your shiny roster of players there and all this
analytics department brag about that flex and all that, and
(11:54):
your smug little smirks you a holes. It changes nothing,
right because al Bouve is the pepe le pew of baseball.
Pe you what stakes Albo, that's who stinks. He'll never
outrun it. It doesn't matter what the man does. The
(12:16):
real ones know the truth. The real ones know the truth.
You can't outrun that stench. You can't do it, can't
do it. You're not fast enough. And when people say
Houston Astros, they don't think of greatness, they don't think
of a sustained dynasty. They think another d word, disgrace,
(12:40):
because that is what that franchise is. So go ahead,
Astro fanboys, celebrate, go got, go, go crazy, knock yourself out,
and I understand you'd be a real team the Dodgers. Congratulations,
Probably cheated while you were doing it, because that's what
you do. Why would you stop? You got away with
it baseball indorste it. They ran a big tobacco type
campaign to cover for you, so why would you not
(13:00):
keep doing it? Right? Nothing has changed, nothing has changed.
No matter how many wins, go back to the World
Series again, doesn't matter. Right, doesn't matter. You are forever
known as a team that needed a trash can a
trash can to beat the Dodgers in the World Series
(13:21):
and oh, by the way, didn't even outscore the Dodgers
and need to go to seven games to win the
World Series wald cheating. Think about how much better the
twenty seventeen Dodger team was when the Houston team. The
Houston team was. They were cheating, They knew what was
coming on most of the pitchers, and the Dodgers took
them to a game seven. How embarrassing would have been
(13:44):
a sweep. Without that would have been a sweep. It's
gotta suck to if you're an Albouve fan. Albuve is
not going to the Hall of Fame. He's not. He's not.
They won't put in Barry Bonds, they won't put in
Roger Clements. Those guys, I'd put them in instead of
alt Bouve. Maybe when he's dead, like Pete Rose, they'll
(14:05):
put him in the Hall of Fame, all right, now,
last word, So turning the page from that, we had
a shakeup in the managerial ranks and the front office
of Major League Baseball. The guillotine, the hammer of death
came down, well baseball death in DC. What is your
knee jerk reaction on your knee jerk reaction to the
(14:26):
Nationals saying bye bye and firing Davy Martinez, the manager
in the GM, Mike Rizzo, who really heroes to us.
You might remember they beat the cheating a holes in
a World Series years ago. Been many years since then,
So my reaction is what took so long? Right, as
far as the Nationals are concerned, the Nats have been
(14:48):
a hot mess. Now we don't talk about the Nationals.
Why would we, We want people to actually listen. But
the Nationals have been a hot mess, plain and simple.
They're so bad. How bad are they? Even ostrich Ant,
who lives in DC and drives a bus around the
dcra he got a good job, right, union job. He
won't even watch the Nationals. That's how much they sucked, right,
And you think about the Nationals. Both these guys, Rizzo
(15:12):
and Martinez, the GM and the manager are past their
expiration date. And that World Series they won, while it
was glorious and we enjoyed it, it was six years ago,
and the Nationals have been stumbling and bumbling in the
desert of mediocrity without any water ever since then. How
bad has it been since the high water mark the
(15:33):
twenty nineteen World Series, the miraculous World Series run the
team from the Greater DC area, there has posted I believe,
five straight losing seasons and they are all but guaranteed
to have number six year and twenty twenty five. And
the Nationals Ballpark is not the factory of sadness. It's
the museum of misery, is what it is. They're watching
(15:56):
the Nationals who have lost that two. They don't have
that attitude anymore. I don't know where it went. Davy Martinez,
his comments, that's the big story here. He made some comments.
We talked about them briefly on the show. Davy Martinez
defended his coaching staff with the Nationals. Now to say
that just ruffled some feathers, that's a bit of an understatement.
(16:17):
It's a bit of an understatement. He actually apparently torched
the clubhouse. The softies in the Washington National Clubhouse. Not
only are they bad baseball, they can't take criticism. Now again,
Davy Martinez said, It's never on coaching, he said at
the time. Never, It's always on the players, Davey Martinez said,
(16:39):
And that is all she wrote. That is all she wrote.
Those cream puffs better known as Nationals players the cream
plus she changed her name from Nationals to Creampuffs. Looks
like they ripped off a drug stores logo anyway, with
the w there. So the Creampuff players did not appreciate that.
(17:02):
Davey Martinez put the almighty finger blame pointed that right
in their direction. And so the players were shocked, dismayed,
bewildered and could not handle it. They were pissed off,
and so he lost the clubous Now gim Mike Rizzo.
We famously fought with him years ago over the usage
of Stephen Strasburg. You might remember the Nationals baby Stephen Strasburg.
(17:25):
So he could turn out to retire early anyway, they
were saving him so his career would be cut short.
So he's been with the Nationals for almost twenty years
in the front office. He was also the general manager
over the last almost almost twelve full seasons. I think
(17:45):
it was sometime in twenty thirteen, and he survived several
managers before Davey Martinez and him took their exit strategy
there and won the World Series. So you say a
successful one. They did win the World Series Cup. I
think it was three NL East Tighitos under Mike Rizzo.
But right now, when you know your time's up, when
you've been there for as long as Rizzo's been there
(18:07):
and your baseball team is closer to the Rockies than
it is to a playoff spot, so good luck on that.
And player development, well, none of the guys the Nationals
draft turned out to be all that great. The players
they got from the Padres for Juan Soto, those guys
seem to know what they're doing. But they to be fair,
they do have a cheap owner. I thought the national
(18:31):
is going to be sold a couple years ago, and
they haven't been sold the same ownership groups there. It's
been three years. I know it takes a long time
to sell a multi billion dollar sports entity. It's been
been a while, so they got cheap ownership. But there's
no excuse for the crappy product that is on the
field there. You know, even you know, your Tampa Bay
and some of these other teams that don't spend money,
(18:51):
they still put a team that's somewhat competitive on the field.
The Nationals are on pace to win sixty eight games,
by the way, this year, and they have no pipeline.
They need a plunger. The pipelines clogged there. For the Nationals.
It's an unstable franchise. See if that Learner family finally
sells the Nationals here. But man, so they just gave
(19:13):
the mass extermination to everyone. Now he's had a good job. Well,
there's only thirty, right, there's only thirty baseball teams, or
thirty two baseball teams, I think it. So there's not
that many baseball teams. So that's it. And they pay
pretty well. And DC A lot of people like living
in DC. If you like hanging out with slimeball politicians
(19:34):
and people like that, it's nice. I guess outside DC,
I'm Virginia, Marylands. Some nice plays of lip.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Even when winning, it still ends up being a bronx
blooper kind of a weekend. Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are in
the air ywhere, using pitchforks as we beard the lion
(20:51):
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
mast and stratophirically powerful microphones of FSR em monating live
from the Crawl the pub Crawl all night long from
the Fox sports radio studios as approved by JD in Boston.
Who knows This portion of the Ben Maler Show on
(21:14):
Fox made possible in part by our friends at tire Iraq.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what, where and where
they drive all of that ship fast and freeback by
free road hazard protection, with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation. Tire iraq dot com the way tire buying
(21:36):
should be. So our lead this hour is from the
Big Apple. July fourth weekend has now come and gone,
and baseball trying to take ownership of the weekend. It
was not must see TV for me. Were you enchanted?
Were you enchanted by Major League Baseball? They made that
a mandate. They got, Well, the NFL and the NBA
(21:59):
can over Thanksgiving and over Christmas, but July fourth, Baby,
there's no NFL games on July fourth, There's no NBA
games on July fourth. It's all about the baseball, right,
So they made it a big deal. And to me,
the big deal was the hot dog eating contest. We
mentioned that in the fifth Hour podcast The dog Father.
(22:21):
The greatest athlete in our lifetimes. The Great Joey Chestnutt
doing it yet again in Brooklyn over the weekend, but
over in Queen's not that far away there. The Mets
and Yankees wrapped up the weekend series on Sunday, so
if you were not watching this, you might have missed it.
Aaron Judge a Judge Tonian thirty third home run and
(22:46):
Cody Bellinger, a one time MVP who's now a vagabond
outfielder bouncing from team to team. He started a key
double play. The Yankees got some help from the umpires,
and they needed it to stop a six game losing streak.
They did for the moment, stop the bleeding beat the
(23:06):
Mets six to four on Sunday, All star Max Freed.
It's amazing a guy signs a big contract actually shows
up in pitches and plays well. Max Freed unlike Blake
Snepp bra playing as I got mon Bro, Blake snout well,
Max Freed went out there risking his life. Apparently he's
eleven and two and more importantly, the definition of a
(23:28):
big time starter is someone where you're losing and you
put that guy in the mound, you automatically win. So
Max Freed in twelve starts after the Yankees had lost
the game. He's nine and one, nine and one couple
of non decisions in that. So let us discuss the
(23:49):
key question here is not so much from the Yankees
winning on Sunday, but it's more about the commentary recently
of the face of the New York Yankee when asked
about the recent stretch of futility. Even with that win
on Sunday, it's been a bad month for the Yankees.
Going back to the early part of June, when asked
(24:12):
if the recent struggles are taking a toll on the
Yankee clubhouse, Aaron Judge simply said, no is what he said.
So how did his response? How did his response work
for the electorate in the Bronx. So, I've got Trump National,
Michelin star chef, and Vegan pot luck, and we will
(24:37):
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make some popcorn, freshly made buttered popcorn. Wonderful, all right?
So number one, Aaron Judge, mister big man on campus there,
this was cringe worthy. He gets the badge, the Scouts
badge for cringe. Aaron Judge does here, mister l Capitan,
(25:02):
the captain of the Yankees, the face of the franchise,
six foot seven Lumberjack, a human billboard for the Bronx
Bombers and all that. But he said the thing you
can't say at the time, you can't say it. And
it's not so much about one quote. It's not so
much about that. It's about what that particular quote represents.
(25:23):
It's about the tone. It's about being aware. Situational awareness,
very important, situational awareness. Now you don't have to be
a Navy seal, but you should have situational awareness to
know that that is not the time nor the place
to say what Aaron Judge said over the weekend. It's
about understanding the moment, understanding the fan base, understanding the customers,
all of that. And Aaron Judge just looked out of place,
(25:48):
looked out of place, doesn't want to deal with it.
So he's gonna kind of run away from the heat
a little bit. Oh no, no, we're fine. Everything is
fine here. Absolutely So he's reading off a Q card
at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in a submarine.
But if you're honest, even with the win against the
Mets on Sunday, the Yankees continue to be a hot mess.
(26:10):
And the one win does not change things here. The
Yankees over their last twenty two games have lost sixteen
of their last twenty two games. Now, I didn't play
in the major leagues. I just host an over and
I talked show that sucks. Okay where I sit there,
she blows, as they say in Pirate Land. So sixteen
losses in the last twenty two games for the Yankees,
(26:33):
and you are what your record says you are, and
of late, that is not a good baseball team. And
they're playing like a team going through the motions. You
see a lot of the time teams that are eliminated
from playoff consideration, and they just kind of lolly gagaround
like the whole thing. It's been a boondoggle for the
Yankees lately. And you don't want to hear when you're
(26:55):
going through a rough patch like this, everything's fine. You
don't want to hear it. Right, that's not leadership, that's
not accountability by Aaron Judge, and it's not even reality
is It's just not it's not anything. You're the captain
of the New York Yankees. You're not playing for the
Toledo mud Hens. You're not. Uh So, the Yankees, the
(27:16):
mighty New York team. You love the brag or of
Yankee baseball, this, that and the other thing. So you
don't just get to strug off, you know, shrug off
with a wink and a nod. A bad month of baseball,
like it's a bad round of golf at the Trump
National and you just said, well, it was just not
my day and my clubs were not we're not working
the right way. No, you don't get to do that.
(27:37):
And you know you got to at least pretend like
you're upset. Right, you're the captain of the Yankees. Again,
when teams losing, the fans are booing and they're unhappy.
You don't get to act like it's business as usual
when you're the captain of the yank and you just
can't can't be doing it. You're supposed to set the tone.
(27:58):
I think that's that's where to go. You carry the
wait and you can't say no to that. When asked
if the team's unrappling, it's obviously unraveling, and you know,
he said, well, you can say a lot of different cliches,
that's not the one to say, though. He said, well,
it's frustrating we'll be better. We got to be better,
all those kind of things. But you gotta show some
kind of pulse, some kind of pulse and uh right now,
(28:20):
and Judge seem tone death. Seemed tone death. And it's
like he's more worried about his next commercial shoot than
he is the Yankees, who have fallen behind the Toronto
Blue Jays in the American League East stand. He's now
page two to Pittsburgh, PA. We go, well, actually Seattle,
where the Pirates were about as far away from Pittsburgh
(28:41):
as they can get over the weekend. And the old
sweeperoo bupkis zip bow and zero for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
After shutting out the Cardinals for three games in a row,
they got shut out for three games in a row.
So that continues a recent stretch, oh the stinkage for
(29:01):
the Pirates, including the game on Sunday started by Paul
Skeins his last twelve starts. His last twelve starts for
the Pirates, he has an earned run average. Paul Skins,
the phenom of phenoms, has an earn run average of
one point eighty four. We are told, yet his one
loss record his last twelve starts one win and five losses,
(29:25):
the buckoes record in those twelve starts. So what does
that signify to you? What does that signify to you?
That's the question. So for me, the er right, the
king of earn run average and domination situation and all
this stuff. The ace the record says, hey, this guy
(29:46):
is an ACE, but right now, when he's pitching, it's
like ace Ventura for the rest of the pirates there.
It's not going so well there, and it's not misleading,
it's insulting when this guy's pitching and you've only won
one of he's only won one of the twelve starts,
and yet he's got an ERA under two and the buckos.
(30:09):
When you have a pitcher this good, right, it's like
you've given a Michelin Star check. You're apparently not able
to eat at Michelin Star restaurants, court and people I
work with, But the Michelin Star chef. You give the
chef a microwave and you say, make it work, right,
just make it work. Put in the microwave, heat it up.
But you've got a generational arm, like once in a
generation the guy comes along like Paul Skins, and you're
(30:32):
essentially backing him with a super soaker water gun is
what you're doing on offense. And then the Bucos are
looking at Picasso and they're using a Picasso. They bought
a Picasso and they're using it as a coaster on
the end table. It's a nice pocassa. We'll put it
down here, we'll put a drink on it, and that's it.
And you keep hanging ls and he's pitching great, he's
(30:56):
pitching amazingly. And you know, Paul Skins is everything he
was supposed to be in terms of the hype and
all that. And usually these guys don't live up to
the hype. We've ranted about a prospect as a suspect
until proven otherwise. And he's done it. And yet the
pirates are also living up to the hype. Everything we
thought the pirates were, they are. When Paul Skins is
on the mount. So this stretch, it signifies cut to
(31:19):
the chase. It signifies that if he keeps us up,
he is going to need some therapy a trade. Both
all of the above, all of that and the pirates
who have been given not because if they did any good,
you get Paul Skins because you're bad and you have
a top pick in the draft, and they had a
high pick and they got Paul Skins. They've been given
(31:41):
this great pitcher and they're gonna blow it it, fletts
it away, and then eventually he'll be pitching for the Dodgers,
of the Yankees, of the Red Sox, and they'll get
a bag of suspects. All right, now, final point, So
flipping the page, we mentioned the trade deadline we talked
about last hour. Brian Reynolds of the Pirates. He's he's
got one hundred million dollars contract, he's not particularly great,
(32:04):
and he's got a no trade list. So the Dodgers
who would like to acquire his services cannot trade for
him unless he approves the trade because he has them
on their no trade list. So I mentioned that because
another player who is likely going to be traded Eugenio Suarez,
the third basem Gino Swarez of the Diamondbacks. He is
(32:26):
grabbing a lot of attention here before the trade deadline,
and he's got now twenty eight home runs, seventy three RBIs,
and the Yankees and the Seattle Mariners, along with the
Detroit Tigers and some other teams all said to be
knocking on the door there saying, hey, can we get
our hands on this guy? So how does all of
(32:47):
that sound to you? How does all of that sound
to you? So to me, Gino swore as the third
baseman of the diving right now, he's not just the
flavor of the month. Here's one things about the trade deadline.
There's always got to be that flavor, that popular person
for popular people. But he's pretty much the entire tasting menu.
(33:09):
If you look at who's likely going to be traded,
it was always the surprise. The great thing about sports
is anyone can be traded at any time. If you
don't believe me, ask Luka Doncic about that. The Mavericks
just handed him away to the Lakers. So anything is
possible in any sport. But here's a guy who's like
a silver slugger candidate and he's out there and it's
(33:31):
you know, it's like, hey, this guy could be moved
like a bowl of chili at a cookoff. Just get
rid of this guy. That's it. And now the trade
deadline looming, and it's like a bad hangover for a
lot of these teams. Here the vultures are out circling around,
and so of course the Yankees, who need a third basement,
would say, all right, this guy Swarez, let's see we
can get him. And it's like the last steak at
(33:54):
a vegan pot luck if you're the Yankees. They want
to move Jazz Chisholm full time. I'm to second base
and DJ Lemayhew to the bench or to the broadcast
booth on the S network and just put him out
there and have him do his thing. So there is that,
and now the Mariners's that's the perfect Mariner move. They
had him, they traded him. He was in Seattle, came
(34:17):
over from Cincinnati. They traded him to Arizona. So now
they're like, well, maybe we'll get him back. It's like
we got that item on Amazon. We returned it, but
now we're going to buy it again. We already had it,
but no, I know we won't. We we didn't appreciate it,
but now we want it. We want to buy the
item again. So we'll just do that. And now they're
trying to undo the damage. So maybe I'll have a
(34:38):
reunion tour. And there's some other teams mentioned, and you know,
it's like the Mariners, though, would be perfect. He's such
a great classic Mariner move where they trade for a
guy that it's like breaking up with your ex and
then you watch the X go on and do some
really good things and you're like, all right, well, let's
see if we can get that get back together with
the X. And the bottom line, though, he is a
(35:01):
rental at the trade down line, which is why these
big market teams likely won. And he's also thirty three
years old, so he's at the end of his athletic
prime and not hitting for much of an average, but
that's a boomer stat. That's an old head stat. That
batting average, twenty eight hole runs, and the numbers all
indicate that he's still uber productive, still one of the
better offensive power hitters in baseball, and the kind of
(35:25):
a player that in a playoff run could play well
for a couple of weeks in October and all of
a sudden, you get a hunk of metal.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler

Speaker 5 (35:47):
The Miami Dolphins had one of the top offensives in
the NFL in twenty twenty three, but missed the playoffs
last year the summer saying the team is teetering on
the edge of a franchise reset. But do you think
the jobs of Tua and McDaniel are on the line
next season?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Well, as you heard last week, I know you weren't here,
but I know you listen to the show because you're
producing it. So I did a full mallar monologue about
this particular topic. And as I pointed out in that
Mallard monologue can available on the podcast download absolutely to
and Mike McDaniel and the GM there, all of them.
This is it. This is the last chance saloon there
for the Dolphins. Even Stevin Meatballs can see that.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
Next cal Raley has reached new career high in home
runs for a single season and we haven't even reached
the All Star break. In fact, he's tied Ken Griffy
Junior's Mariners record for most dingers before the break. Do
you think the al MVP is the big numbers to lose.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
No, because the Mariners are a playoff team. They're a
wild kid team. So are the Yankees. But Aaron Judge
is in the lead and he's It would be a
monumental upset if Aaron Judge does not win the MVP
Award in the Americanly and Cal Rawley's been great and
wonderful and all that, but he plays in Seattle. That's
going to hurt him.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Next, the Suns gave Devin Booker another extension. He's gonna
be signed with them through twenty thirty. With Durant now
in Houston, the Suns are in rebuild mode. Do you
think that Booker is a player worth building around?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Well? They can try. They were in the finals against Milwaukee.
They couldn't get it done. They're not gonna win with
Devin Booker as their headliner. It's not gonna work. How
do we do passes?
Speaker 5 (37:13):
There?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
It is? That's a win putter on the board.
