Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh maha, oh maha, it's our name, Berto, As we'd
begin the seminar here in our number two on the
Ben Mather Show and this hour on this Thursday, July thirty,
first final show of July, the Philadelphia Phillies general manager
Dave Dombrowski, lifelong baseball man Dave don Browski being called
(00:21):
out for giving up too much to get closer Johan
Duran from the Twins at the deadline? What say you
on that? Also Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson says he did
not do enough last season in Indy? Now do you
categorize this one? And Mike Florio saying that Adam Schefter
(00:44):
is giving favorable coverage on the Christian Wilkins release by
the Raiders, and he says why he's doing that. Will
analyze that media amusing story and we'll figure out how
that one tastes as well. We'll get to all of that.
We'll serve a of awesome sauce right now here. It
is our number two, the Philly Special. Well was it special?
(01:09):
Some don't think so. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the
air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder as we are up late
and never second rate. No, no, no, Well you'll be
(01:30):
the judge of that coast, the coast, border to border
and beyond on the mast and candidly powerful microphones of
FSR am moinating live from the phone, the megaphone of
yapp as Andy Inlino Lakes knows the Fox Sports radio
(01:51):
studios and made possible part by ti Iraq. For over
forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
fast and free back by free road hazard protection. Mister
Nicsky likes that with convenient installation options like mobile tire
installation tirerac dot com, the way tire buying should be.
(02:15):
And if you don't already know it is Miracle Treat
Day over at DQ today, Yes, which means one dollar
or more from every blizzard treat is donated to your
local member hospitals of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Blizzard
treats are even sweeter if that's possible when they support
(02:36):
kids who need it most. DQ Happy tastes good. I've
never met anyone that doesn't like the blizzard. I've not
met anyone that does not enjoy the blizzard. All right,
So our lead this hour is from baseball. We're gonna
bounce around trade of note from the Delaware Valley. And
we began the night with the Aohannio Suarez trade last
(03:00):
hour as he goes from Arizona to Seattle. But there
was a trade in the Delaware Valley that caught my attention.
I know Fats in Philly and Jonathan and Delaware also
aware of this. So if you didn't see this, maybe not.
The Phillies and Twins played, let's make it to you,
and general manager Dave Dombrowski in Philadelphia shipped off an
(03:23):
eighteen year old catcher in a ball someone named a
Eduardo Tait that is the centerpiece that goes to the
Minnesota baseball team. In return, Johann Duran, the Twins flame
throwing closer. He ends up coming back to Philadelphia, and
of course the prospect Huggers are having a melt out.
(03:48):
Oh my god, Dave dom Prowski s, oh what is
he doing? Oh my, this is Oh they're so upset,
they're so bummed out. You traded one of the top
one hundred prospects in base Oh my god, let us discuss.
So the Phillies general manager Dave Dombrowski being called out
for giving up too much to get Johan Duran from
(04:14):
the Twins at the trade deadline. Here, what say you? Right?
What say you? So Johann Duran goes to Philadelphia and
some catching prospect goes to Minnesota. So I've got Nanny
flank Steak and dark Web, and we'll combine all of
(04:35):
these things together and we're gonna make the Ben Mahler
chicken fingers from the landing over in Liberty, Missouri. That's
what we're gonna do, all right. So my first thought
on this number, why I said number, Why this is
a quid pro quote situation. Now, I was always taught,
and maybe I'm wrong that if you want something elite,
(04:57):
you have to give up something that's legitimate how it
used to work back in the day. So it's not
fantasy baseball, it's not majorly it's major league baseball. It's
not some kind of minor league operations. So Dave Dombrowski
is not some new age geek. He's from the old
Country Dombrowski, and I like it. He's got big base
(05:21):
balls and hair on his chest and he's sixty nine
years old. He's working yet again a masterpiece. At the
trade deadline, Philadelphia needed a closer. They're steroid guy. Their
closer is a cheat, steroid cheat. So he's not in
the playoffs. He's out the whole thing. So they went
out and made a deal. Dombrowski has worked in baseball
(05:43):
front offices since it was a mom and pop business
and there were were no computers and nerds. He's his
first job was with the Chicago White Sox in the
nineteen seventies. His first job as general manager by himself
was with the old Montreal Expos in nineteen eighty eight.
So it's been a minute, and he knows a thing
(06:04):
or two because he's seen a thing or two and
them is the same Dombrowski the places he's been. He
swings for Grand Slams. He doesn't try to hit base hits.
He goes for Grand slams. He did it with the Tigers,
he did it with the Red Sox, and now he's
doing it here and did in Miami as well. Dombrowski
(06:25):
understands what matters. He's not sitting around. Dombrowski, the general
manager of the Phillies. He's like, I'm not a nanny.
I'm not here to babysit some top one hundred prospect
and maybe he'll be good. A prospect is a suspect
until proven.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Other lies.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Dombrowski sees the Phillies right now. He's absolutely right about this.
The window is open. It's open if you look at
the core of the Phillies and when they're clicking, anyone,
when they're clicking, it's fun to watch. But Philadelphia in
that bandbox Ballpark, with Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Trey Turner,
they are not just on the way up. They're already there,
(07:04):
all right. So this is not about well, we need
this catcher. It might be good in twenty twenty nine.
If that catcher pans out, man, that'd be great. No,
by twenty twenty nine, Sward will be gone, trade, Turner
will be washed up, and who knows what you're gonna
get out of Bryce Harper. This is about winning a
World Series right now, and that catcher, the player whose
(07:25):
everyone's all worked up about top one hundred plo, Oh
my god, you traded a top one hundred player a
DWARDO ta oh, I can't but yeah, now, could he
end up being the next yadi Are Molina. Sure, he
could also be the next Martin Maldonado. It's a guessing game.
Nobody knows anything. You're projecting greatness because you want to
believe every one of these minor league players is gonna
(07:46):
be great. He's a teenager, he has I don't think
he's caught a double header in Altuna, but he's gonna
be great in the major leagues. People have this magnetic
umbulical cord to the prospect. It bothers me. I know,
it's gonna annoy me all day when all these other
trades happen today. They treat the prospect is treated now
(08:09):
like a family pet. Right, there's this weird separation anxiety,
and it's like, dude, it's just baseball. The reason you
have a minor league system is to enhance the major
league roster. These guys are just chess pieces. They're not
family heirlooms. Okay they're not. And if you look at
(08:29):
what the Phillies needed, and they needed Johan in the intercloser,
Johann Duran comes in from the Twins, He's there and
that's what they needed. Right And he's good now. The
guy's a monster. He's under team control through twenty twenty seven.
So you need someone to slam the door right now,
(08:50):
and in those close playoff games on those Chili nights
in Philadelphia, you go get him. You don't hope that
some eighteen year old catcher is going to blossom him
in five years and be ready when Bryce Harper's doing
commercials for Medicare Right, you strike while the Irons hot
and Dombrowski He's always gotten it, he always has right.
(09:11):
He just builds winning teams. And I like the fact
also that he's an irritant to those that worship all
the nerd numbers. It's not that Dombrowski ignores all that.
It's just that he's not married to the formula. He's
willing to go big, and to me, it's a great
deal for Philadelphia and for the Twins. If you want
(09:32):
to check back in five years, ash turned out to
be great. Okay, maybe it will be great, but I'm
worried about today. I don't know where I'll be in
five years, and neither do you. Right, So it's an
aggressive move. It's a smart move. I like it all right.
Moving on from that we're going to go over to
the NFL to Indianapolis, we go that Ash Football League,
(09:52):
and that is where Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson said recently
that he quote didn't do enough last season. So how
do you categorize that quote from Anthony Richardson? So this
is el capitan as in captain obviously Richardson saying he
didn't do enough. Oh really, I wonder where he came
(10:14):
to that conclusion. What gave it away? The part where
he got hurt every five seconds or the fact that
he looked like he was running the wing t offense
and that more than that in a minute, right? You
know he was drafted. When the Colts drafted him, it
was a big risk by the late Chier Mercy right said, well,
originally he was supposed to be I'm talking about Richardson,
(10:35):
developmental player, fourth fifth, sixth round pick. He gets drafted
in the top ten. He was drafted, and it's like, well,
this is Filet Mignon, right, file Minon the good stuff
Kobe beef, and a couple of years later, Anthony Richardson
is just an undercooked piece of flank steak, and they
they forgot to season it. And it's just bad. And
(10:57):
you drafted a project and the project that work out.
You're never supposed to do that, and you just don't.
You don't rebuild your franchise around a construction site. But
they have. He tapped out of the Texans game because
he was tired, right, and that is gonna haunt him.
You're the quarterback. You're not some toddler. He took himself
(11:18):
out of a game for the Colts because he was tired.
You don't get nap time on a Sunday. You only
play seventeen regular season games. You're the face of a
billion dollar business. And what are you doing right? You're
running on three G and a five G league. That
doesn't work. And I keep going back to just the
(11:38):
way he has looked Anthony Richardson. He has set offensive
football back. He has to the leather helmet era, back
when the forward pass was just a suggestion.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You see those old when I was a kid that
used to have this thing called NFL films, and they'd
show these early NFL videos and you're like, man, there
are a lot of slow dudes, and uh, I mean
a lot of leather helmets. And but he was ranked
Anthony Richardson thirty ninth among quarterbacks. You know, any teams
that are in the NFL, it's not a trick question. No,
(12:13):
they're not thirty nine teams. They're thirty two teams. So
you know how hard that is to do to be
ranked thirty ninth in a thirty two team league. That's
like finishing dead last in a race where you're the
only one who showed up and you finished in dead
life Like Richardson, we know how this is going to go.
He he hurts a little pinky and he's into the
(12:34):
injury tech right, and he makes There's a guy Carson
Wentz who played for the Colts and others, but making
Carson Wentz look like an iron man. And now another
indictment of Anthony Richardson is he is in a dog
fight with Daniel Jones for QB one. Let me tell
you right now, there are a lot of dogs in
(12:57):
that room, not just Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson. And
there's also a lot of fleas in that quarterback room.
All right, final point, We now pivot to medi a musings,
medi a Musings NFL Newshounds sparring NFL Newshounds sparring pro
football talks Mike Florio. Mike Florio put Adam Schefter on
(13:21):
blast now. He said Florio that Schefter is reporting favorably
on the Christian Wilkins story due to his agent. David
Mullaghetta is the agent there now. Wilkins was fired by
the Raiders a few days ago, who are now attempting
(13:42):
to void thirty five million in guaranteed money because of
some locker room dramenaw Schefter claimed that Wilkins kissed a
teammate on the forehead playfully at the Raider facility last week,
and he said it was just playful. The teammate took
offense to that Wilkins. As a result, they went to HR.
(14:04):
Did you even know that you could go to HR?
If you're an NFL player? I wonder if there HR
is in building? I don't know, I know ours is
in anyway, Mike Florio says, something worse happened with Christian
Wilkins and the Raiders, and that Schefter is, as we said,
giving a favorable version. He's helping out the Asian, doing
(14:25):
him a solid. So how does that taste to you?
How does that taste to you? So it's an NFL
insider slap fight, and to me, that is delicious capital
the delicious. You've got Schefter, who I like, Adam used
to be believe it or not, in the early days
of Fox Sports Radio was on here all the time.
(14:46):
He worked for the I know him when he first
worked in Denver, Schefter, and then as a writer covering
the Broncos, and then he worked at the NFL Network.
He's been a ESPN forever. But Schefter's out there saying
that Wilkins kissed the guy on the forehead like it's
some kind of Disney movie or something like that, and
it's great. I'm sure he's also gonna report tomorrow that
(15:08):
Wilkins skipped through the facility, also holding out a basket
of skittles for his teammates. The whole thing, it just
doesn't pass the smell test. There's obviously more to the story.
We are getting a version of the truth, but not
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It sounds
like something worse went down, something really grimy, really grimy.
(15:30):
But if you look at it this way, Adam Schefter
is an information broker. Think of him like a concierge
at Caesar's Palace. Right, he gets you the tickets to
the show, but only, okay, only if you book the
room through him. So if you want favorable coverage, you
know who you're gonna call. And I understand why Mike
(15:52):
Florio is all upset at his shack in West Virginia.
He's mad because he doesn't get those parks right. He's
not in the circle. He's not one of the cool kids.
He doesn't get the same juicy text messages from some
agent who's peddling off information. Instead, Florio is playing go
fish while Adam Schefter is running a private blackjack table,
(16:13):
and he's got Drew Rosenhaus and he's got that David Mullighetta,
the other agent over there. Like the NFL gossip, and
I dabbled in this when I had my website many
years ago, But the NFL gossip is like the dark Web.
You don't really get the good stuff unless you trade right. Schefter,
He's gonna report some sanitized bedtime story about Christian Wilkins
(16:36):
because that way Wilkins has an easier path to return
to the NFL, get more money for the agent, and
in return, Boom goes to Dynamite. He gets crab Legs,
which is the Micah Parsons is about to sign a
deal with the Cowboys, and the agent Mullageta feeds him
that info like it's a nice five course dinner at
(16:57):
a great restaurant, and so it's it's not journalists. I'm like,
none of this is journalism, right, I mean, journalism is
pretty much dead, all of it. Everything's traded. But this
is bartering. It's like you give a shaggy dog version
of the Christian Wilkins meltdown, and then next week or
the week after, I will give you an exclusive story.
(17:19):
There is video out there of an AFC South coach
with his pants down in the bathroom at a waffle house,
and I will give that story to you because you
did me a good mitzvah. That's the business now. Meanwhile,
so Christian Wilkins again, I go back to this and
I'm put some feelers out. He must have done something
(17:42):
beyond bizarre. Right, you don't lose a gig like that,
And an NFL team's not going to go to the
Lanks to try to get out of thirty five mill.
Tom Brady's running the show with the Raiders, but thirty
five million just over a playful kiss on the forehead,
like something rotten had to take place in Vegas and Shifters.
(18:03):
He's essentially putting for breeze on a burning dumpster, is
what he's doing at this point. But I will guarantee
you one thing I know about how this works. The
real story, which is juicier and just more out taste wonderful.
It's out there and it will end up leaking out
(18:24):
eventually and likely sooner than later. That story is going
to get out, So stay tuned on that. It is
the Ben Mahlor Show. As we worked our way through

(21:27):
Cooper loop over there. Uh, Bronco fan, your comments cannon
will be used against you in the cot of sports radio.
Please act accordingly if you want to call it eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox and back to it.
Back to it we go. Ferg Dog, right, since says
not to touch up your award winning Mallard monologue. But
(21:48):
I know exactly where I will be in five years,
sitting Indian style by the old family radio, listening to
you Ben.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Oh look, Ferg Dog's in a photo. Yeah. The reason
Fergdog uses an avatar from a cartoon as his abby
is because he actually he's not grown. He's a that's
him in the photo and that's the actual radio that
he has in his living room. Oh really yeah, it's
a massive one of those giant size of a refrigerator.
(22:16):
It's crazy absolute yeah, really cool, really really cool for sure,
one hundred percent. All right, we'll get back to the
calls here at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Also coming up later this hour, we do have Mallor
to the third degree and a lot of moving parts
on the trade deadline and the cramp heard round the
(22:39):
baseball world. We'll get to that right now. Because Justin
and Cincinnati is very excited. He's sending offensive things in.
You know, Justin's all excited when he's back sending offensive
comments in. But he says, the Reds have broken Otani.
They have broken Otani, he said, and Otani. Yeah. It
(22:59):
was the cramp heard around the baseball world. Ough Tony
could not handle that Ohio heat in late July. He
came out of the game. I was actually watching the
Reds broadcast because I find a lot of the Dodgers
broadcasters terrible. And on the Reds broadcast, Barry Larkin was
very dramatic. He was making it seem like, well, we
ever see O Tawny pitch again? So I was like,
(23:21):
oh man, maybe Barry Larkin saw something. You know, maybe
Larkin saw that there was some kind of issue with
the elbow or you know, he had Tommy John twice
and all that the two way superstars A oh man, No,
he just had cramps. At least that's what the Dodgers
are saying. Maybe they're lying. I don't know, but they're
claiming that he had cramping in his right hip and
(23:43):
it's not anything serious. But the Dodgers spend all this
money on players. They have to have the worst medical
staff in the history of baseball. It's either that or
my other theory is these guys all make so much money.
If any minor thing happens to the Dodgers players, they're
(24:03):
just like, oh, hey, I get ten days off. All right,
I'm going on that. We used to call it the
d l back of the old days.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
All I ever want.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, yeah, take a vacation. That's it. So it's either
the training staff has no idea what they're doing, which
makes little sense to me because the Dodgers they just
hire the top medical people they can get, or the
players are such divas that, you know, out of an
abundance of caution remember that in COVID times. I don't
an abundance of caution. Yeah. So anyway, oh Tony came out.
(24:33):
But we'll see what the Dodgers do. They haven't done
anything of note. They got to get an outfielder. I
do not want to see Michael Conforto. Okay, I will
personally drive Conforto to the airport to get him out
of LA. He sucks. I don't Why are they playing him?
The guy blows they I mean, how hard is it
to find an outfielder. They're everywhere. Every team's got multiple outfields.
(24:55):
Trade they're such a bad team to stop with Conforto.
All right, anyway, let's go to the phones. Let's say
hello to hollering James in Minneapolis, minnesot Hello hollering James.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Okay, Okay, Ben Maller, it's hollowing James. I have a question,
a couple of questions for.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
You, high hollering James. It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I hope you get answered. I hope you get answered.
My a couple of questions.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
My first question is can you pick up the phone?
Can you pick up the phone like an adult?
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Ben, Oh, thank god, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Okay, all right, but go ahead.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
What do you have?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Please hurry up? Top Top by a.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Couple of questions? Does the Twins give up an their
pennant race for a wild time? By Trady Durand that's
my first question. As a second question, who I mean
prospects they are gi? Are they going to cost them
five years out of the road of a future as a.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Trading got Here's here's all you need to know, James.
When when you are at the trade deadline and you
trade your top relief pitcher. It's a universal sign we
have given up. What more do you? Neque can? But
you know that the Twins are six games under five hundred,
they're twelve behind the Tigers. But what about the world Card?
(26:20):
The wild card is the biggest fraud play. It's like, well,
they're only five and a half on the wild card.
If you're not even five hundred, you're you're not legit.
You're not and they're not five much, they're not legit.
And James, you like to James, I'm answering your questions.
That's very rude of you to interrupt me. Why would
(26:42):
you interrupt me? I don't do I interrupt you. I
guess I do.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
No, you do it in a way. But sometimes I
love you anywhere Tony through Really.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
What was the greatest night of your life?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
The woman interrupted me was the tunnel was talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I've like, no, no, what is the greatest night of
your life? What was the night that was?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
It was me? Ben you know Donald, you have Jack
to bring me out there, and James having a fit
with me. So he's talking about what stupid birthday that
I didn't get nothing for it? But the boom bombs

Don't want to find out how it works, but I'm
sure you uh after each he works it out every
day by himself unfortunately. But yeah, now, James, you'll be
about seventy by the time the Twins prospects turn out
to be anything. So good luck on that. Go make
sure your muscles are all working there. It's a masterclass
on how not the call Sports Radio eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six
(28:24):
sixty three six'. Nine if you'd like to be part
of the program and See pirito writes in he SAYS
i have a pretty solid source been involved with The
raiders since the nineteen, seventies no, details but says it
was not just a, kiss and it wasn't in the locker, Room,
eric but it was in the showers there you, go oh. Summer,
(28:46):
yeah he used a NON pc word and let's, say,
uh fugazi as a gentle. Description oh, interesting all, Right
so That's purdo as the de. Come that's what he.
Claims that's his inside. Scoop of, course you should always
believe a person listening to overnight talk. Radio YEAH i,
(29:09):
do and WILL i will point. OUT i was actually
having a conversation with my radio friends the other. Day
we were talking about some of the, sourcing AND i
put it out like the stories That i've gotten over
the years have often come from people that work at
the concierge desk at the hotel or or back in
the whole, days they used to be these things called,
taxis the taxi drivers somebody to pick somebody up. On
(29:30):
people work at. Airports but those are the people that
get all the. Stuff in, fact WHEN i was doing
the gossip stuff at the, WEBSITE i had a pretty
good network of people that worked in locker rooms like,
cleaning laundry and, stuff and they were the ones that
knew if someone was about to get traded because the
(29:53):
way it used to, work And i'm not sure if
it works like this. Anymore if a team is in
the process of making a last the, trade the general
manager will again this is the old. DAYS i don't
if they still do it the same. Way but back you,
know in the, nineties so it's been thirty, years but
they would call down to the clubby and, say, hey
we're real close to trading for you, Know Joe. Blow
(30:17):
we need a jersey that says blow on it just
in case we trade For Joe. Blow and we're close
to doing, that so can you have that ready to?
Go and then that guy would have to CALL i
guess they can do on the internet, Now but in
the old, days they'd call the other team's equipment manager and, say,
well what's the size of the jersey and all that
stuff so they could get and then well only if
(30:38):
that person would then tell someone like, me and then
that would be the way that that would get. Out,
yeah people that know it's now nowadays it's a lot
of the agents leak leak stuff and the way the games.
Play let's go To, andre a polarizing caller and his Dog. Willis, Hello,
(30:59):
andre and did you know It's miracle treat? THERE. Dq.
Yes that means one dollar or more from Every blizzard

Andre what's going?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
On? Ben good to be with.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
You myself And. Willis we're here and thrilled to be on.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Now, Listen, ben you started the.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Show talking about the situations with The, mariners and that
kind of may hit a nerve for. Me, okay we
got this team that's trying to win what fifty four
percent of their games. Spent they're out there and it's
proud franchise of which Mister ichi ro first Ballot hall
Of famer with almost a unanimous selection played for and
only trying to win fifty four percent of their games NOR,
(31:51):
i myself And willis are both personally offended by, This,
ben because the fact of the matter is you're.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Talking about a salary. Cap baseball wants this.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Out salary cap is how is that going to help
a team that's not even trying to win.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
In the first?
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Place all, RIGHT i think that is textbook.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Example of why.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Baseball Willis is, Agreed willis.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
AGREE i love. It willis is your hype man's and
when he agrees with the, point he, barks that's.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Right you know they should be hook line and sinker saying,
no no salary cap.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Whatsoever when we have these, teams just like you have
in THE nba that i.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
E The Indiana pacers that aren't committed to. Winning, Okay,
pacers Let Miles turner walk right right out that. Door
you have all these franchises that salary cap or no salary.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Cap they're trying to turn a, profit.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
And you, know if we make the, playoffs, good but
they're not really committed to winning The World. Series, so,
uh you, KNOW i think a lot of things are
going right with. Baseball we're not going to go back
and forth on the automated ball strike system BECAUSE i
know where you stand on. That but the pitch, CLOCK
i think we can all, agree, Right willis agreed the
pitchclock clock and some of the things that they're, doing
(32:58):
even THOUGH i think that we should Have willis thinks
that the runner should be on second, base not in
the tenth, inning but in the eleventh. Inning give us
one more inning of real, baseball and then you can
put the runner on second in the eleventh. Inning but they're,
close they're. Close so a lot of things are trending.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
In the Rund we should bring in the ghostbusters and
have no ghost. Runners we don't need a ghost. Runner no, no,
no no, no we don't need.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
That, no, no maybe in the eleventh or, twelve because
sometimes these games go to the, thirteenth fourteenth, inning you,
know so they're taking a ton of Timn so it's
not about that, point, right, right, Right but this, point
we got some moves that have been made in free.
Agency and then you, know for, conclusion for including concluding.
(33:41):
Purposes talking about The, dodgers you give a guy seven
hundred million, dollars this is shy oh sohni all, right
he's gonna have a little bit of hood, spot, right
so he's disagreeing with the medical Stat we shouldn't given
him more than a half a billion.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Dollars.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
Okay so The, dodgers with their suits up, payroll you
know they're, spending but they're not the stupid money in
the table is they're not the stupid money is the. Point,
okay that's what makes the. Difference back To billy being in.
Moneyball it's how you invest the, money, okay not just
how much you. Invest. Okay so baseball players get behind
and What benny's talking, about The mariners out here not
(34:12):
really trying to, Win, Okay no, way shape or form
should they agree to with salary pet and hopefully the
other league in THE, nfl they'll take some.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Courage and fight for their rights to their.
Speaker 6 (34:20):

Oh maha, oh maha, it's our name, Berto, As we'd
begin the seminar here in our number two on the
Ben Mather Show and this hour on this Thursday, July thirty,
first final show of July, the Philadelphia Phillies general manager
Dave Dombrowski, lifelong baseball man Dave don Browski being called
(00:21):
out for giving up too much to get closer Johan
Duran from the Twins at the deadline? What say you
on that? Also Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson says he did
not do enough last season in Indy? Now do you
categorize this one? And Mike Florio saying that Adam Schefter
(00:44):
is giving favorable coverage on the Christian Wilkins release by
the Raiders, and he says why he's doing that. Will
analyze that media amusing story and we'll figure out how
that one tastes as well. We'll get to all of that.
We'll serve a of awesome sauce right now here. It
is our number two, the Philly Special. Well was it special?
(01:09):
Some don't think so. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the
air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder as we are up late
and never second rate. No, no, no, Well you'll be
(01:30):
the judge of that coast, the coast, border to border
and beyond on the mast and candidly powerful microphones of
FSR am moinating live from the phone, the megaphone of
yapp as Andy Inlino Lakes knows the Fox Sports radio
(01:51):
studios and made possible part by ti Iraq. For over
forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
fast and free back by free road hazard protection. Mister
Nicsky likes that with convenient installation options like mobile tire
installation tirerac dot com, the way tire buying should be.
(02:15):
And if you don't already know it is Miracle Treat
Day over at DQ today, Yes, which means one dollar
or more from every blizzard treat is donated to your
local member hospitals of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Blizzard
treats are even sweeter if that's possible when they support
(02:36):
kids who need it most. DQ Happy tastes good. I've
never met anyone that doesn't like the blizzard. I've not
met anyone that does not enjoy the blizzard. All right,
So our lead this hour is from baseball. We're gonna
bounce around trade of note from the Delaware Valley. And
we began the night with the Aohannio Suarez trade last
(03:00):
hour as he goes from Arizona to Seattle. But there
was a trade in the Delaware Valley that caught my attention.
I know Fats in Philly and Jonathan and Delaware also
aware of this. So if you didn't see this, maybe not.
The Phillies and Twins played, let's make it to you,
and general manager Dave Dombrowski in Philadelphia shipped off an
(03:23):
eighteen year old catcher in a ball someone named a
Eduardo Tait that is the centerpiece that goes to the
Minnesota baseball team. In return, Johann Duran, the Twins flame
throwing closer. He ends up coming back to Philadelphia, and
of course the prospect Huggers are having a melt out.
(03:48):
Oh my god, Dave dom Prowski s, oh what is
he doing? Oh my, this is Oh they're so upset,
they're so bummed out. You traded one of the top
one hundred prospects in base Oh my god, let us discuss.
So the Phillies general manager Dave Dombrowski being called out
for giving up too much to get Johan Duran from
(04:14):
the Twins at the trade deadline. Here, what say you? Right?
What say you? So Johann Duran goes to Philadelphia and
some catching prospect goes to Minnesota. So I've got Nanny
flank Steak and dark Web, and we'll combine all of
(04:35):
these things together and we're gonna make the Ben Mahler
chicken fingers from the landing over in Liberty, Missouri. That's
what we're gonna do, all right. So my first thought
on this number, why I said number, Why this is
a quid pro quote situation. Now, I was always taught,
and maybe I'm wrong that if you want something elite,
(04:57):
you have to give up something that's legitimate how it
used to work back in the day. So it's not
fantasy baseball, it's not majorly it's major league baseball. It's
not some kind of minor league operations. So Dave Dombrowski
is not some new age geek. He's from the old
Country Dombrowski, and I like it. He's got big base
(05:21):
balls and hair on his chest and he's sixty nine
years old. He's working yet again a masterpiece. At the
trade deadline, Philadelphia needed a closer. They're steroid guy. Their
closer is a cheat, steroid cheat. So he's not in
the playoffs. He's out the whole thing. So they went
out and made a deal. Dombrowski has worked in baseball
(05:43):
front offices since it was a mom and pop business
and there were were no computers and nerds. He's his
first job was with the Chicago White Sox in the
nineteen seventies. His first job as general manager by himself
was with the old Montreal Expos in nineteen eighty eight.
So it's been a minute, and he knows a thing
(06:04):
or two because he's seen a thing or two and
them is the same Dombrowski the places he's been. He
swings for Grand Slams. He doesn't try to hit base hits.
He goes for Grand slams. He did it with the Tigers,
he did it with the Red Sox, and now he's
doing it here and did in Miami as well. Dombrowski
(06:25):
understands what matters. He's not sitting around. Dombrowski, the general
manager of the Phillies. He's like, I'm not a nanny.
I'm not here to babysit some top one hundred prospect
and maybe he'll be good. A prospect is a suspect
until proven.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Other lies.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Dombrowski sees the Phillies right now. He's absolutely right about this.
The window is open. It's open if you look at
the core of the Phillies and when they're clicking, anyone,
when they're clicking, it's fun to watch. But Philadelphia in
that bandbox Ballpark, with Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Trey Turner,
they are not just on the way up. They're already there,
(07:04):
all right. So this is not about well, we need
this catcher. It might be good in twenty twenty nine.
If that catcher pans out, man, that'd be great. No,
by twenty twenty nine, Sward will be gone, trade, Turner
will be washed up, and who knows what you're gonna
get out of Bryce Harper. This is about winning a
World Series right now, and that catcher, the player whose
(07:25):
everyone's all worked up about top one hundred plo, Oh
my god, you traded a top one hundred player a
DWARDO ta oh, I can't but yeah, now, could he
end up being the next yadi Are Molina. Sure, he
could also be the next Martin Maldonado. It's a guessing game.
Nobody knows anything. You're projecting greatness because you want to
believe every one of these minor league players is gonna
(07:46):
be great. He's a teenager, he has I don't think
he's caught a double header in Altuna, but he's gonna
be great in the major leagues. People have this magnetic
umbulical cord to the prospect. It bothers me. I know,
it's gonna annoy me all day when all these other
trades happen today. They treat the prospect is treated now
(08:09):
like a family pet. Right, there's this weird separation anxiety,
and it's like, dude, it's just baseball. The reason you
have a minor league system is to enhance the major
league roster. These guys are just chess pieces. They're not
family heirlooms. Okay they're not. And if you look at
(08:29):
what the Phillies needed, and they needed Johan in the intercloser,
Johann Duran comes in from the Twins, He's there and
that's what they needed. Right And he's good now. The
guy's a monster. He's under team control through twenty twenty seven.
So you need someone to slam the door right now,
(08:50):
and in those close playoff games on those Chili nights
in Philadelphia, you go get him. You don't hope that
some eighteen year old catcher is going to blossom him
in five years and be ready when Bryce Harper's doing
commercials for Medicare Right, you strike while the Irons hot
and Dombrowski He's always gotten it, he always has right.
(09:11):
He just builds winning teams. And I like the fact
also that he's an irritant to those that worship all
the nerd numbers. It's not that Dombrowski ignores all that.
It's just that he's not married to the formula. He's
willing to go big, and to me, it's a great
deal for Philadelphia and for the Twins. If you want
(09:32):
to check back in five years, ash turned out to
be great. Okay, maybe it will be great, but I'm
worried about today. I don't know where I'll be in
five years, and neither do you. Right, So it's an
aggressive move. It's a smart move. I like it all right.
Moving on from that we're going to go over to
the NFL to Indianapolis, we go that Ash Football League,
(09:52):
and that is where Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson said recently
that he quote didn't do enough last season. So how
do you categorize that quote from Anthony Richardson? So this
is el capitan as in captain obviously Richardson saying he
didn't do enough. Oh really, I wonder where he came
(10:14):
to that conclusion. What gave it away? The part where
he got hurt every five seconds or the fact that
he looked like he was running the wing t offense
and that more than that in a minute, right? You
know he was drafted. When the Colts drafted him, it
was a big risk by the late Chier Mercy right said, well,
originally he was supposed to be I'm talking about Richardson,
(10:35):
developmental player, fourth fifth, sixth round pick. He gets drafted
in the top ten. He was drafted, and it's like, well,
this is Filet Mignon, right, file Minon the good stuff
Kobe beef, and a couple of years later, Anthony Richardson
is just an undercooked piece of flank steak, and they
they forgot to season it. And it's just bad. And
(10:57):
you drafted a project and the project that work out.
You're never supposed to do that, and you just don't.
You don't rebuild your franchise around a construction site. But
they have. He tapped out of the Texans game because
he was tired, right, and that is gonna haunt him.
You're the quarterback. You're not some toddler. He took himself
(11:18):
out of a game for the Colts because he was tired.
You don't get nap time on a Sunday. You only
play seventeen regular season games. You're the face of a
billion dollar business. And what are you doing right? You're
running on three G and a five G league. That
doesn't work. And I keep going back to just the
(11:38):
way he has looked Anthony Richardson. He has set offensive
football back. He has to the leather helmet era, back
when the forward pass was just a suggestion.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You see those old when I was a kid that
used to have this thing called NFL films, and they'd
show these early NFL videos and you're like, man, there
are a lot of slow dudes, and uh, I mean
a lot of leather helmets. And but he was ranked
Anthony Richardson thirty ninth among quarterbacks. You know, any teams
that are in the NFL, it's not a trick question. No,
(12:13):
they're not thirty nine teams. They're thirty two teams. So
you know how hard that is to do to be
ranked thirty ninth in a thirty two team league. That's
like finishing dead last in a race where you're the
only one who showed up and you finished in dead
life Like Richardson, we know how this is going to go.
He he hurts a little pinky and he's into the
(12:34):
injury tech right, and he makes There's a guy Carson
Wentz who played for the Colts and others, but making
Carson Wentz look like an iron man. And now another
indictment of Anthony Richardson is he is in a dog
fight with Daniel Jones for QB one. Let me tell
you right now, there are a lot of dogs in
(12:57):
that room, not just Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson. And
there's also a lot of fleas in that quarterback room.
All right, final point, We now pivot to medi a musings,
medi a Musings NFL Newshounds sparring NFL Newshounds sparring pro
football talks Mike Florio. Mike Florio put Adam Schefter on
(13:21):
blast now. He said Florio that Schefter is reporting favorably
on the Christian Wilkins story due to his agent. David
Mullaghetta is the agent there now. Wilkins was fired by
the Raiders a few days ago, who are now attempting
(13:42):
to void thirty five million in guaranteed money because of
some locker room dramenaw Schefter claimed that Wilkins kissed a
teammate on the forehead playfully at the Raider facility last week,
and he said it was just playful. The teammate took
offense to that Wilkins. As a result, they went to HR.
(14:04):
Did you even know that you could go to HR?
If you're an NFL player? I wonder if there HR
is in building? I don't know, I know ours is
in anyway, Mike Florio says, something worse happened with Christian
Wilkins and the Raiders, and that Schefter is, as we said,
giving a favorable version. He's helping out the Asian, doing
(14:25):
him a solid. So how does that taste to you?
How does that taste to you? So it's an NFL
insider slap fight, and to me, that is delicious capital
the delicious. You've got Schefter, who I like, Adam used
to be believe it or not, in the early days
of Fox Sports Radio was on here all the time.
(14:46):
He worked for the I know him when he first
worked in Denver, Schefter, and then as a writer covering
the Broncos, and then he worked at the NFL Network.
He's been a ESPN forever. But Schefter's out there saying
that Wilkins kissed the guy on the forehead like it's
some kind of Disney movie or something like that, and
it's great. I'm sure he's also gonna report tomorrow that
(15:08):
Wilkins skipped through the facility, also holding out a basket
of skittles for his teammates. The whole thing, it just
doesn't pass the smell test. There's obviously more to the story.
We are getting a version of the truth, but not
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It sounds
like something worse went down, something really grimy, really grimy.
(15:30):
But if you look at it this way, Adam Schefter
is an information broker. Think of him like a concierge
at Caesar's Palace. Right, he gets you the tickets to
the show, but only, okay, only if you book the
room through him. So if you want favorable coverage, you
know who you're gonna call. And I understand why Mike
(15:52):
Florio is all upset at his shack in West Virginia.
He's mad because he doesn't get those parks right. He's
not in the circle. He's not one of the cool kids.
He doesn't get the same juicy text messages from some
agent who's peddling off information. Instead, Florio is playing go
fish while Adam Schefter is running a private blackjack table,
(16:13):
and he's got Drew Rosenhaus and he's got that David Mullighetta,
the other agent over there. Like the NFL gossip, and
I dabbled in this when I had my website many
years ago, But the NFL gossip is like the dark Web.
You don't really get the good stuff unless you trade right. Schefter,
He's gonna report some sanitized bedtime story about Christian Wilkins
(16:36):
because that way Wilkins has an easier path to return
to the NFL, get more money for the agent, and
in return, Boom goes to Dynamite. He gets crab Legs,
which is the Micah Parsons is about to sign a
deal with the Cowboys, and the agent Mullageta feeds him
that info like it's a nice five course dinner at
(16:57):
a great restaurant, and so it's it's not journalists. I'm like,
none of this is journalism, right, I mean, journalism is
pretty much dead, all of it. Everything's traded. But this
is bartering. It's like you give a shaggy dog version
of the Christian Wilkins meltdown, and then next week or
the week after, I will give you an exclusive story.
(17:19):
There is video out there of an AFC South coach
with his pants down in the bathroom at a waffle house,
and I will give that story to you because you
did me a good mitzvah. That's the business now. Meanwhile,
so Christian Wilkins again, I go back to this and
I'm put some feelers out. He must have done something
(17:42):
beyond bizarre. Right, you don't lose a gig like that,
And an NFL team's not going to go to the
Lanks to try to get out of thirty five mill.
Tom Brady's running the show with the Raiders, but thirty
five million just over a playful kiss on the forehead,
like something rotten had to take place in Vegas and Shifters.
(18:03):
He's essentially putting for breeze on a burning dumpster, is
what he's doing at this point. But I will guarantee
you one thing I know about how this works. The
real story, which is juicier and just more out taste wonderful.
It's out there and it will end up leaking out
(18:24):
eventually and likely sooner than later. That story is going
to get out, So stay tuned on that. It is
the Ben Mahlor Show. As we worked our way through
the overnight and later this hour we will have Mallord
to the third degree. Will take your comments. If you

Speaker 5 (19:45):
To and that's 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 (19:58):
Yeah, you blubber blaming me. Well, you know what it's
called over promise.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
You should be good at it because you've been over
promising women for years.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also going to
talk 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 3 (20:18):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Bill Miller and you. It is the Ben Mahlor Show,
up all night, every night, the Red Eye flight. We
have reached our cruising altitude. We've turned off the fastened
seat belt sign. If there is turbulence, we'll please have
you make sure you have the seatbelt on it at all times,
just in there is turbulence. In the meantime, you want
(21:02):
to be part of the program, you can say hello
on X at Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahlor. Lorena
is sitting buttons and eating cheesecake at FSR Tech Queen.
And also all right, yeah, don't touch the box and
(21:27):
Cooper loop over there. Uh, Bronco fan, your comments cannon
will be used against you in the cot of sports radio.
Please act accordingly if you want to call it eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox and back to it.
Back to it we go. Ferg Dog, right, since says
not to touch up your award winning Mallard monologue. But
(21:48):
I know exactly where I will be in five years,
sitting Indian style by the old family radio, listening to
you Ben.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Oh look, Ferg Dog's in a photo. Yeah. The reason
Fergdog uses an avatar from a cartoon as his abby
is because he actually he's not grown. He's a that's
him in the photo and that's the actual radio that
he has in his living room. Oh really yeah, it's
a massive one of those giant size of a refrigerator.
(22:16):
It's crazy absolute yeah, really cool, really really cool for sure,
one hundred percent. All right, we'll get back to the
calls here at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Also coming up later this hour, we do have Mallor
to the third degree and a lot of moving parts
on the trade deadline and the cramp heard round the
(22:39):
baseball world. We'll get to that right now. Because Justin
and Cincinnati is very excited. He's sending offensive things in.
You know, Justin's all excited when he's back sending offensive
comments in. But he says, the Reds have broken Otani.
They have broken Otani, he said, and Otani. Yeah. It
(22:59):
was the cramp heard around the baseball world. Ough Tony
could not handle that Ohio heat in late July. He
came out of the game. I was actually watching the
Reds broadcast because I find a lot of the Dodgers
broadcasters terrible. And on the Reds broadcast, Barry Larkin was
very dramatic. He was making it seem like, well, we
ever see O Tawny pitch again? So I was like,
(23:21):
oh man, maybe Barry Larkin saw something. You know, maybe
Larkin saw that there was some kind of issue with
the elbow or you know, he had Tommy John twice
and all that the two way superstars A oh man, No,
he just had cramps. At least that's what the Dodgers
are saying. Maybe they're lying. I don't know, but they're
claiming that he had cramping in his right hip and
(23:43):
it's not anything serious. But the Dodgers spend all this
money on players. They have to have the worst medical
staff in the history of baseball. It's either that or
my other theory is these guys all make so much money.
If any minor thing happens to the Dodgers players, they're
(24:03):
just like, oh, hey, I get ten days off. All right,
I'm going on that. We used to call it the
d l back of the old days.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
All I ever want.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, yeah, take a vacation. That's it. So it's either
the training staff has no idea what they're doing, which
makes little sense to me because the Dodgers they just
hire the top medical people they can get, or the
players are such divas that, you know, out of an
abundance of caution remember that in COVID times. I don't
an abundance of caution. Yeah. So anyway, oh Tony came out.
(24:33):
But we'll see what the Dodgers do. They haven't done
anything of note. They got to get an outfielder. I
do not want to see Michael Conforto. Okay, I will
personally drive Conforto to the airport to get him out
of LA. He sucks. I don't Why are they playing him?
The guy blows they I mean, how hard is it
to find an outfielder. They're everywhere. Every team's got multiple outfields.
(24:55):
Trade they're such a bad team to stop with Conforto.
All right, anyway, let's go to the phones. Let's say
hello to hollering James in Minneapolis, minnesot Hello hollering James.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Okay, Okay, Ben Maller, it's hollowing James. I have a question,
a couple of questions for.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
You, high hollering James. It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I hope you get answered. I hope you get answered.
My a couple of questions.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
My first question is can you pick up the phone?
Can you pick up the phone like an adult?
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Ben, Oh, thank god, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Okay, all right, but go ahead.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
What do you have?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Please hurry up? Top Top by a.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Couple of questions? Does the Twins give up an their
pennant race for a wild time? By Trady Durand that's
my first question. As a second question, who I mean
prospects they are gi? Are they going to cost them
five years out of the road of a future as a.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Trading got Here's here's all you need to know, James.
When when you are at the trade deadline and you
trade your top relief pitcher. It's a universal sign we
have given up. What more do you? Neque can? But
you know that the Twins are six games under five hundred,
they're twelve behind the Tigers. But what about the world Card?
(26:20):
The wild card is the biggest fraud play. It's like, well,
they're only five and a half on the wild card.
If you're not even five hundred, you're you're not legit.
You're not and they're not five much, they're not legit.
And James, you like to James, I'm answering your questions.
That's very rude of you to interrupt me. Why would
(26:42):
you interrupt me? I don't do I interrupt you. I
guess I do.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
No, you do it in a way. But sometimes I
love you anywhere Tony through Really.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
What was the greatest night of your life?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
The woman interrupted me was the tunnel was talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I've like, no, no, what is the greatest night of
your life? What was the night that was?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
It was me? Ben you know Donald, you have Jack
to bring me out there, and James having a fit
with me. So he's talking about what stupid birthday that
I didn't get nothing for it? But the boom bombs
as a radio player and I tended to play with
him on your show.

I'm not getting almost I'm sixty one years old. I

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Don't want to find out how it works, but I'm
sure you uh after each he works it out every
day by himself unfortunately. But yeah, now, James, you'll be
about seventy by the time the Twins prospects turn out
to be anything. So good luck on that. Go make
sure your muscles are all working there. It's a masterclass
on how not the call Sports Radio eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six
(28:24):
sixty three six'. Nine if you'd like to be part
of the program and See pirito writes in he SAYS
i have a pretty solid source been involved with The
raiders since the nineteen, seventies no, details but says it
was not just a, kiss and it wasn't in the locker, Room,
eric but it was in the showers there you, go oh. Summer,
(28:46):
yeah he used a NON pc word and let's, say,
uh fugazi as a gentle. Description oh, interesting all, Right
so That's purdo as the de. Come that's what he.
Claims that's his inside. Scoop of, course you should always
believe a person listening to overnight talk. Radio YEAH i,
(29:09):
do and WILL i will point. OUT i was actually
having a conversation with my radio friends the other. Day
we were talking about some of the, sourcing AND i
put it out like the stories That i've gotten over
the years have often come from people that work at
the concierge desk at the hotel or or back in
the whole, days they used to be these things called,
taxis the taxi drivers somebody to pick somebody up. On
(29:30):
people work at. Airports but those are the people that
get all the. Stuff in, fact WHEN i was doing
the gossip stuff at the, WEBSITE i had a pretty
good network of people that worked in locker rooms like,
cleaning laundry and, stuff and they were the ones that
knew if someone was about to get traded because the
(29:53):
way it used to, work And i'm not sure if
it works like this. Anymore if a team is in
the process of making a last the, trade the general
manager will again this is the old. DAYS i don't
if they still do it the same. Way but back you,
know in the, nineties so it's been thirty, years but
they would call down to the clubby and, say, hey
we're real close to trading for you, Know Joe. Blow
(30:17):
we need a jersey that says blow on it just
in case we trade For Joe. Blow and we're close
to doing, that so can you have that ready to?
Go and then that guy would have to CALL i
guess they can do on the internet, Now but in
the old, days they'd call the other team's equipment manager and, say,
well what's the size of the jersey and all that
stuff so they could get and then well only if
(30:38):
that person would then tell someone like, me and then
that would be the way that that would get. Out,
yeah people that know it's now nowadays it's a lot
of the agents leak leak stuff and the way the games.
Play let's go To, andre a polarizing caller and his Dog. Willis, Hello,
(30:59):
andre and did you know It's miracle treat? THERE. Dq.
Yes that means one dollar or more from Every blizzard
treat is donated to your local member hospitals of The
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Blizzard treats or even sweeter when

Andre what's going?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
On? Ben good to be with.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
You myself And. Willis we're here and thrilled to be on.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Now, Listen, ben you started the.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Show talking about the situations with The, mariners and that
kind of may hit a nerve for. Me, okay we
got this team that's trying to win what fifty four
percent of their games. Spent they're out there and it's
proud franchise of which Mister ichi ro first Ballot hall
Of famer with almost a unanimous selection played for and
only trying to win fifty four percent of their games NOR,
(31:51):
i myself And willis are both personally offended by, This,
ben because the fact of the matter is you're.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Talking about a salary. Cap baseball wants this.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Out salary cap is how is that going to help
a team that's not even trying to win.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
In the first?
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Place all, RIGHT i think that is textbook.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Example of why.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Baseball Willis is, Agreed willis.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
AGREE i love. It willis is your hype man's and
when he agrees with the, point he, barks that's.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Right you know they should be hook line and sinker saying,
no no salary cap.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Whatsoever when we have these, teams just like you have
in THE nba that i.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
E The Indiana pacers that aren't committed to. Winning, Okay,
pacers Let Miles turner walk right right out that. Door
you have all these franchises that salary cap or no salary.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Cap they're trying to turn a, profit.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
And you, know if we make the, playoffs, good but
they're not really committed to winning The World. Series, so,
uh you, KNOW i think a lot of things are
going right with. Baseball we're not going to go back
and forth on the automated ball strike system BECAUSE i
know where you stand on. That but the pitch, CLOCK
i think we can all, agree, Right willis agreed the
pitchclock clock and some of the things that they're, doing
(32:58):
even THOUGH i think that we should Have willis thinks
that the runner should be on second, base not in
the tenth, inning but in the eleventh. Inning give us
one more inning of real, baseball and then you can
put the runner on second in the eleventh. Inning but they're,
close they're. Close so a lot of things are trending.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
In the Rund we should bring in the ghostbusters and
have no ghost. Runners we don't need a ghost. Runner no, no,
no no, no we don't need.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
That, no, no maybe in the eleventh or, twelve because
sometimes these games go to the, thirteenth fourteenth, inning you,
know so they're taking a ton of Timn so it's
not about that, point, right, right, Right but this, point
we got some moves that have been made in free.
Agency and then you, know for, conclusion for including concluding.
(33:41):
Purposes talking about The, dodgers you give a guy seven
hundred million, dollars this is shy oh sohni all, right
he's gonna have a little bit of hood, spot, right
so he's disagreeing with the medical Stat we shouldn't given
him more than a half a billion.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Dollars.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
Okay so The, dodgers with their suits up, payroll you
know they're, spending but they're not the stupid money in
the table is they're not the stupid money is the. Point,
okay that's what makes the. Difference back To billy being in.
Moneyball it's how you invest the, money, okay not just
how much you. Invest. Okay so baseball players get behind
and What benny's talking, about The mariners out here not
(34:12):
really trying to, Win, Okay no, way shape or form
should they agree to with salary pet and hopefully the
other league in THE, nfl they'll take some.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Courage and fight for their rights to their.
