Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dilly dilly, It's our numb Bard three, our number three
talking fays ball on the Ben Malors Show. We're talking baseball.
So how much weight does this endorsement carry for Mets
manager Carlos Mendoza. The Mets playing a little better of late,
and Mendoza got a vote of confidence from the Mets
(00:22):
executive in charge of baseball ops. Also, why is this
Anthony Volpi situation a bigger deal for the Bronx Bombers
as they try to figure that out?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
And does the Nathan of all the.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Injury end the Texas Rangers playoff chances he's going to
be done for the year. We'll go there as well.
And it's all coming your way. Plus some classic Malord
show bits here in our number three stand by your
man a juror what well come? In the beginning of
(00:57):
another hour of the Ben Mahler Always we are in
the air everywhere on the Red Eye flight as we
serve up a word buffet. That's right, word buffet, provide
full funkadelic flavor coast to coast, border to border and
beyond on the mast and astronomically powerful microphones of FSR
(01:21):
eminating live from the hole as we are bunkered inside
the Foxhole lobbing out hot takes from the world famous
Fox Sports radio studios where legends like Sarge the Comedian
perform their stick back in the day, and as approved
by Fat Daddy, he gives the old thumbs up on
(01:42):
that this portion of the Ben Matherlers Show on Fox
is made possible in part by our friends at Express
Employment Professionals. Is it time for a new job, and
it's time for Express Employment Professionals with the endless online
job search en list the pros and Express never charges
job seekers of figo to Express pros dot com. We'll
(02:03):
get back to New Me Night in a couple of minutes,
but we begin with a Mallard monologue from Flushing, good
Old Queens, the borough of Queen's There and the New
York Metropolitans thanks to Brandon Nimo, they KOed the Phillies
for the second consecutive night, and then New York's other
team closing the gap a little bit on Philadelphia and
(02:27):
the nl East still a little bit by about a
week's worth of losses for the Phillies and wins by
the Mets, and then all of a sudden, New York
will be top the standings. Now, the Mets played about
as bad as you can play for a twenty one
game stretch. They were five and sixteen, and that led
to people questioning the future of the franchise in terms
of the coaching staff. And if you have not been
(02:49):
following this the story, here is a endorsement. The Mets
president of Baseball Ops David Sterns, said that he feels
that manager Carlos Mendoza is the right person to return
as the skipper next season for the Mets. He said, quote,
(03:11):
Mendy's doing a great job. I think he's the right
person for this job. Stir And said, on some podcast
nobody listens to. So let us discuss the question how
much weight does this endorsement. How much weight does this
endorsement carry for the Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. So I've
got Applebee's arcade game and shopping cart, and we'll put
(03:35):
all of these things together and we are going to
put the card back to Annoy Supermarket. Steve who told
me not to ever put the card back. He said,
don't do it. There's people that's their job. Do not
put the car back. Now, first of all, This is
not you say, how much weight does this endorsement carry.
This is not a heavyweight. It's not a welterweight. It's
(03:57):
not certainly not a middleweight. This is a lightweight. This
is a featherweight, is what this is? That is the
dreaded vote of confidence. And that's like when you're backing
when your date and your girlfriend would say no, no, no,
I love the way that you dress, and or your wife,
I love the way that you dress, and then she's
(04:17):
on the interweb looking at the latest men's clothing there
at Calvin Klein is just trying to find some new
clothes or whatever. That's pretty much what that's like, knowing
that you have no fashion sense. Now, this was a
loaded question, as I understand it. On this podcast with
a couple of has been baseball writers, they asked David
Stearns about the future of Carlos Mendoza. The only way
(04:39):
he could answer that, the only way he could answer
that is an endorsement. Imagine if he had said, oh, no,
this guy stinks as a manager. I mean, I would
not hire him to be the manager at McDonald's. Can
you imagine that he's managing our baseball team? He had
to say that he's going to be back, and he
had to say something along those lines. But Carlos Mendoza,
(05:01):
he's only been a manager a short time in the
Major leaguest thus far, I wrote down on my scorecard
that Carlos Mendoza is a jam just a manager, that's it.
He's like the assistant night manager at an Applebee's. And
if the assistant night manager at the Applebee's does not
show up, guess what can blow your mind? The mazzarella
(05:22):
sticks still come out of the kitchen. Right, they still
serve the mozzarella sticks. Nobody notices, Right, everyone does their job.
The bus boys they pick up the slack and all
that stuff, so it doesn't matter. And then major league
manager has been debauld in the last fifteen years or so,
and they're just middle managers and uniforms.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
They follow the three ring binder, and they have all the.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Notes and all that stuff, and they just have to
follow paint by numbers essentially.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
What this is.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And so, But the other thing about Carlos Mendoza, And
obviously I'm thirty thousand feet in the sky. I'm not
in the belly of the beast there in New York
but I have family New York. I just get the
sense that Mendoza does not have the pulse of the
met fan, that he's lacking that. And it's not the
heartbeat and the Met fan. It's like a heavy metal
(06:14):
Long Island. That whole thing. It's fast, loud, in your face,
and the whole thing really high, high, strong, high strong.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Carlos Mendoza seems more.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Like a smooth jazz kind of And there's nothing wrong
with smooth JEMs. But that's not the construction worker from
Long Island. Okay, that's not the firefighter from New Jersey.
That's the Mets fan. That's not it. And he's like
old school. I go old school date myself, this guy
named Kenny G. When I was a jazz DJ in
college radio, I played a lot of Kenny G and
(06:47):
Bosher cruising for a bruiser. But the Mets need like Metallica.
They need something like that. And Carlos Mendoza, his faith
is it's not going to be decided now or at
any point during the regular season at all. It's going
to be decided in the postseason. Now, do the Mets
make the postseason, there's no guarantee the Mets are in
(07:08):
the postseason, and if they make the postseason, do they
go on a run? Do they flame out? And that's
that's where this will be decided. Now, if the Mets
go out there and do the old flopperoo the pratfall,
You and I both know that David Stearns, who just
gave an endorsement to Carlos Mendoza, the manager of the Mets,
will throw him under the seven train and find the
(07:30):
next guy. And the modern manager is interchangeable, except too
Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts. They never get rid of
Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts. And it's like the TV remote.
Have you ever lost a TV remote? Have you ever
you couldn't find it? And or if you break it,
maybe you drop it, you know, cowboy fan, you throw
(07:51):
it because of something to cowboys, and then you buy
a new one, whether it's online, you go down to
best Buy, you buy a new one and it's like,
you know, fifteen bucks or whatever. And it's a Universal
remote and you don't cry, little hack. By the way,
you can't order the exact remote for your TV. I
recommend that now the universal remote fine, but I've lost several.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Not me.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
My wife has lost several remotes, and we bought the
exact TV. You have to look up the code. That's
the way to do it, because it's the exact same remote,
and it's perfect. Sometimes those universal remotes are a little funky.
So and no one ever says I miss my old remote,
per se. But if you can replace it with the
same remote, you're better.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Off right now.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Second me, I continue to follow the story, and all
you do is talk about New York baseball. This is
a good story here over in the Bronx. The Yankees
continue to be.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Blah.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I know, but they're playing a bad team, the Nationals,
so who cares about those wins? But the Yankees are
also unsure how to fix shortstop Anthony Volpi.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
They benched him.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Anthony Volpi got benched, and the hitting coach James Rowson,
I believe that's his name, James Rowson, household name. But
he said, quote, it's a He was asked how to
fix Anthony Volpi, and he said a lot in a
little bit. All he said was six words. It's a
hard question to answer. Close quote. Okay, So why why
(09:20):
is this Anthony Volpi situation a bigger deal for the
Bronx bombers.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So it's an absolute quagmire.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Is what the Yankees bet the penthouse apartment in the
sky on Anthony Volpy.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
They just did.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
They didn't hedge, they didn't blink, they didn't do any
of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
They didn't flinch.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
They said, this is our shortstop. They handed him the
keys to the shortstop position in the Bronx. They told everyone,
this is the next this is the next Derek Jeter reincarnated,
and it's just going to be amazing. You know, he's
got the pedigree, he's got all this that the other thing,
he's got the baby face, he's got the you know,
the cleats, the where's in the right way, holds the
(10:01):
glove the right way, where's the Yankee uniform the right way,
the pinstripes, all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
However, one problem.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Instead of giving that charisma the captain charisma el capitanis,
John Sterling used to say, the captain charisma, he's on
the carousel Anthony Volpi, the carousel of confusion. You know,
it's like his the way he hits the baseball, as
Andrea the astrology inside. I would say, it's like he's
got a mood ring. It depends on his mood whether
(10:28):
or not he's going to hit the ball. So this guy,
James Rowson, I've never heard this guy. He's the hitting
coach for the Yankees, but he turned philosopher James Rowson
and summed it up like a man who's staring into
a foggy mirror and contemplating the time space continuum. The
way I translated it when he said it's a hard
(10:48):
question to answer is that Volpi the issue is not mechanical.
It's metaphysical, all right, like the Yankees. Well, this guy
works hard. He works like a coal mine, right, just
covered in you know, just disgusting. I need, it's just horrific, right,
just a coal mine. But the results, let's just say,
(11:10):
more Jackson Pollock than rem Brandt.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Uh if you, if you know, art more of a
Jackson box.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
So one day Volpi's out there and he's hitting moonshots,
you know, and dinger, dinger, dinger. And then the next
he's swinging the bat and it's like he's auditioning to
be a human windmill out in palm spring somewhere.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
And and Volpi's bat exists in two states. You either
have the hot Anthony volpey or the other age H
and H hopeless uh, And there's no middle ground, and
you never know which one you're gonna get. It's like
a box of chocolates. In this case, it's a box score.
You open up the box score, You're.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Like, I don't know what. I don't know what he's
gonna do. I have no idea. Defensively, that's the other issue.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Volpi has gone from a gold glove shortstop to a
glove optional shortstop, which is not ideal. Every ground ball
is a bit of a coin flip, and every throw
is a prayer on a throw and a prayer. And offensively,
the Yankees are playing an expensive arcade game with Anthony Volpi.
It's a high end game. A whack a mole is
(12:14):
what they're doing here. So if they fix a swing
and he has a good offensive week, the glove goes missing,
an action goes a wall. If they tweak the stance,
if they mess around with the stands, the strikeouts go up,
up and away. Since his debut, I saw this nerd
stat and I wanted to share it with you. Since
Anthony Volpi's debut, no hitter with at least fifteen hundred
(12:36):
plate appearances has sucked more than Anthony Volpi in weighted
runs created. That's a nerd stat. That's a nerd stat.
Sounds like an important stat, weighted runs created. Plus God,
these guys have ruined baseball with these stats. Anyway, I'm
using it because it makes my argument sound better, so
(12:57):
I'm using it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
It's essentially what the Yankees are trying to do. It's
like plugging.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You're on a ship, even but you're on a submarine
and the submarine be sinking, and you say, you know
what we're gonna do here, We're going to there's holes
in the submarine. We're gonna plug the holes with chewing
gum and not good chewing gum, just chewing gum.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And there you go.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And you know, come December, the hot stove League in baseball.
Brian Cashman, assuming he's not whacked, it appears he's got
compromising photos of the Steinbrenner family, so well, have that
job forever. But he will be browsing the shortstop aisle
like a you know, somebody at best Buy there on
Christmas Eve kind of looking at all this stuff like,
of course they're probably not open on Christmas Eve. So
(13:39):
the day before Christmas Eve and uh and looking around
and the Yankees down. They obviously need a solution. I'm
not a Yankee fan. I have no skin in the game.
They don't need a temporary fix.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And you gotta think that the leash that Volpi has
is fraying a little bit, that there's factions of the
fan base that's foaming. And now the story it's not over.
We've seen in baseball there are redemption stories. Fulp could
go to a town with no media and flourish, you know,
go out to go to someplace like, I don't know,
(14:10):
pick a Marlins.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
There's no one cares about the Marlins in Miami. Go
there and it turned out to be a pretty good player.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Redemption wrapped in regression does happen in baseball. And I
would not bet on that. The Yankees have a long
line of bus the guys that never make it anywhere else. Right,
quickly to Arlington we go. Final thought, to Arlington we go.
Then we'll get back to the newby night Yankee starter
Nathan Evaldi. Yeah, the guy that dominated in the playoffs
(14:37):
multiple times, overscreer, Nathan Evalde expected to.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Be gone for the rest of the year. He's gonna
miss the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Rotator cuff, rotator cuff injury. So question, does this Nathan
of Aalde injury end the Rangers playoff chances? Does it
end to Texas Rangers playoff chances. There's not a lot
of time left, So the band is warming up and
they're singing the song Turn at.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
The last, the parties over.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Sorry, ed in Arlington, the only Ranger fan that ever
calls the show. Sorry, The Rangers are toast. They're done,
They're cooked. Stick of forking him, all those all those cliches,
all that stuff. Nathan Valdi, And I gotta tell you,
this guy's got brass balls in playoff games. He does.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The guys were the great playoff pitchers. Nathan Valdi.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
He shoved it down the Dodger throat when he was
with the Red Sox years ago. He's a former Dodger
minor leaguer. I mean, I am.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Talking full playoff brass balls.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
The problem is, obviously that he's also in the regular season,
often reminding people that he's He's also made a blown
glass and that doesn't work well. One gust of wind
and he's like dust in the wind. Yeah, and he's
he needs medical help. The rotator cuff. That's not a tweak.
(16:02):
That's not a tweak. That's a season ending injury for
Nathan Valde.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
He's gone.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And there's a lot of teams that are breathing a
sigh of relieve, teams like the Red Sox and others
that considered acquiring Avalde. At the trade deadline, the Rangers
were still in contention, so there was a debate whether
or not they trade him because of his injury history.
There was some talk to the Rangers would trade Avaldi.
They did not, and they end up getting a thirty
five year old pitcher who has another injury here and
(16:27):
it's the full of all the experience it is. And
now Bruce Bochie, we like playoff Boachie, Bruce Bochie who's
left trying to win a drag race and he's driving
a shopping cart at this point.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
So good luck, and you are what your record says
you are.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
The Rangers beat up the Angels last night, so they
are five hundred team clinging to the faux help full
hope of a playoff team. It's like a cat holding
on to a ceiling fan while it's spinning around. That's
essentially the Rangers. It's the team's a mirage. Yeah, I
won the World Series a couple years agoing, that's great.
(17:05):
But it's like they're looking for that desert oasis, right
and they find it and it turns out to be
a it's a circle k.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
So they're excited about that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
They think they get some water and some snacks and
they go into the circle k and then it's got
no air conditioning and they haven't had a delivery of
snacks and drinks in a while. So yeah, yeah, you know,
the band's warming up here. You'll turn out the lights.
The party's over. The Fat Ladies somewhere out in the
corner there she's singing up. She's doing vocal exercises. It's
like an opera. It is the Ben Melo Show on

Dilly dilly, It's our numb Bard three, our number three
talking fays ball on the Ben Malors Show. We're talking baseball.
So how much weight does this endorsement carry for Mets
manager Carlos Mendoza. The Mets playing a little better of late,
and Mendoza got a vote of confidence from the Mets
(00:22):
executive in charge of baseball ops. Also, why is this
Anthony Volpi situation a bigger deal for the Bronx Bombers
as they try to figure that out?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
And does the Nathan of all the.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Injury end the Texas Rangers playoff chances he's going to
be done for the year. We'll go there as well.
And it's all coming your way. Plus some classic Malord
show bits here in our number three stand by your
man a juror what well come? In the beginning of
(00:57):
another hour of the Ben Mahler Always we are in
the air everywhere on the Red Eye flight as we
serve up a word buffet. That's right, word buffet, provide
full funkadelic flavor coast to coast, border to border and
beyond on the mast and astronomically powerful microphones of FSR
(01:21):
eminating live from the hole as we are bunkered inside
the Foxhole lobbing out hot takes from the world famous
Fox Sports radio studios where legends like Sarge the Comedian
perform their stick back in the day, and as approved
by Fat Daddy, he gives the old thumbs up on
(01:42):
that this portion of the Ben Matherlers Show on Fox
is made possible in part by our friends at Express
Employment Professionals. Is it time for a new job, and
it's time for Express Employment Professionals with the endless online
job search en list the pros and Express never charges
job seekers of figo to Express pros dot com. We'll
(02:03):
get back to New Me Night in a couple of minutes,
but we begin with a Mallard monologue from Flushing, good
Old Queens, the borough of Queen's There and the New
York Metropolitans thanks to Brandon Nimo, they KOed the Phillies
for the second consecutive night, and then New York's other
team closing the gap a little bit on Philadelphia and
(02:27):
the nl East still a little bit by about a
week's worth of losses for the Phillies and wins by
the Mets, and then all of a sudden, New York
will be top the standings. Now, the Mets played about
as bad as you can play for a twenty one
game stretch. They were five and sixteen, and that led
to people questioning the future of the franchise in terms
of the coaching staff. And if you have not been
(02:49):
following this the story, here is a endorsement. The Mets
president of Baseball Ops David Sterns, said that he feels
that manager Carlos Mendoza is the right person to return
as the skipper next season for the Mets. He said, quote,
(03:11):
Mendy's doing a great job. I think he's the right
person for this job. Stir And said, on some podcast
nobody listens to. So let us discuss the question how
much weight does this endorsement. How much weight does this
endorsement carry for the Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. So I've
got Applebee's arcade game and shopping cart, and we'll put
(03:35):
all of these things together and we are going to
put the card back to Annoy Supermarket. Steve who told
me not to ever put the card back. He said,
don't do it. There's people that's their job. Do not
put the car back. Now, first of all, This is
not you say, how much weight does this endorsement carry.
This is not a heavyweight. It's not a welterweight. It's
(03:57):
not certainly not a middleweight. This is a lightweight. This
is a featherweight, is what this is? That is the
dreaded vote of confidence. And that's like when you're backing
when your date and your girlfriend would say no, no, no,
I love the way that you dress, and or your wife,
I love the way that you dress, and then she's
(04:17):
on the interweb looking at the latest men's clothing there
at Calvin Klein is just trying to find some new
clothes or whatever. That's pretty much what that's like, knowing
that you have no fashion sense. Now, this was a
loaded question, as I understand it. On this podcast with
a couple of has been baseball writers, they asked David
Stearns about the future of Carlos Mendoza. The only way
(04:39):
he could answer that, the only way he could answer
that is an endorsement. Imagine if he had said, oh, no,
this guy stinks as a manager. I mean, I would
not hire him to be the manager at McDonald's. Can
you imagine that he's managing our baseball team? He had
to say that he's going to be back, and he
had to say something along those lines. But Carlos Mendoza,
(05:01):
he's only been a manager a short time in the
Major leaguest thus far, I wrote down on my scorecard
that Carlos Mendoza is a jam just a manager, that's it.
He's like the assistant night manager at an Applebee's. And
if the assistant night manager at the Applebee's does not
show up, guess what can blow your mind? The mazzarella
(05:22):
sticks still come out of the kitchen. Right, they still
serve the mozzarella sticks. Nobody notices, Right, everyone does their job.
The bus boys they pick up the slack and all
that stuff, so it doesn't matter. And then major league
manager has been debauld in the last fifteen years or so,
and they're just middle managers and uniforms.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
They follow the three ring binder, and they have all the.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Notes and all that stuff, and they just have to
follow paint by numbers essentially.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
What this is.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And so, But the other thing about Carlos Mendoza, And
obviously I'm thirty thousand feet in the sky. I'm not
in the belly of the beast there in New York
but I have family New York. I just get the
sense that Mendoza does not have the pulse of the
met fan, that he's lacking that. And it's not the
heartbeat and the Met fan. It's like a heavy metal
(06:14):
Long Island. That whole thing. It's fast, loud, in your face,
and the whole thing really high, high, strong, high strong.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Carlos Mendoza seems more.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Like a smooth jazz kind of And there's nothing wrong
with smooth JEMs. But that's not the construction worker from
Long Island. Okay, that's not the firefighter from New Jersey.
That's the Mets fan. That's not it. And he's like
old school. I go old school date myself, this guy
named Kenny G. When I was a jazz DJ in
college radio, I played a lot of Kenny G and
(06:47):
Bosher cruising for a bruiser. But the Mets need like Metallica.
They need something like that. And Carlos Mendoza, his faith
is it's not going to be decided now or at
any point during the regular season at all. It's going
to be decided in the postseason. Now, do the Mets
make the postseason, there's no guarantee the Mets are in
(07:08):
the postseason, and if they make the postseason, do they
go on a run? Do they flame out? And that's
that's where this will be decided. Now, if the Mets
go out there and do the old flopperoo the pratfall,
You and I both know that David Stearns, who just
gave an endorsement to Carlos Mendoza, the manager of the Mets,
will throw him under the seven train and find the
(07:30):
next guy. And the modern manager is interchangeable, except too
Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts. They never get rid of
Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts. And it's like the TV remote.
Have you ever lost a TV remote? Have you ever
you couldn't find it? And or if you break it,
maybe you drop it, you know, cowboy fan, you throw
(07:51):
it because of something to cowboys, and then you buy
a new one, whether it's online, you go down to
best Buy, you buy a new one and it's like,
you know, fifteen bucks or whatever. And it's a Universal
remote and you don't cry, little hack. By the way,
you can't order the exact remote for your TV. I
recommend that now the universal remote fine, but I've lost several.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Not me.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
My wife has lost several remotes, and we bought the
exact TV. You have to look up the code. That's
the way to do it, because it's the exact same remote,
and it's perfect. Sometimes those universal remotes are a little funky.
So and no one ever says I miss my old remote,
per se. But if you can replace it with the
same remote, you're better.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Off right now.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Second me, I continue to follow the story, and all
you do is talk about New York baseball. This is
a good story here over in the Bronx. The Yankees
continue to be.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Blah.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I know, but they're playing a bad team, the Nationals,
so who cares about those wins? But the Yankees are
also unsure how to fix shortstop Anthony Volpi.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
They benched him.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Anthony Volpi got benched, and the hitting coach James Rowson,
I believe that's his name, James Rowson, household name. But
he said, quote, it's a He was asked how to
fix Anthony Volpi, and he said a lot in a
little bit. All he said was six words. It's a
hard question to answer. Close quote. Okay, So why why
(09:20):
is this Anthony Volpi situation a bigger deal for the
Bronx bombers.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So it's an absolute quagmire.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Is what the Yankees bet the penthouse apartment in the
sky on Anthony Volpy.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
They just did.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
They didn't hedge, they didn't blink, they didn't do any
of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
They didn't flinch.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
They said, this is our shortstop. They handed him the
keys to the shortstop position in the Bronx. They told everyone,
this is the next this is the next Derek Jeter reincarnated,
and it's just going to be amazing. You know, he's
got the pedigree, he's got all this that the other thing,
he's got the baby face, he's got the you know,
the cleats, the where's in the right way, holds the
(10:01):
glove the right way, where's the Yankee uniform the right way,
the pinstripes, all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
However, one problem.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Instead of giving that charisma the captain charisma el capitanis,
John Sterling used to say, the captain charisma, he's on
the carousel Anthony Volpi, the carousel of confusion. You know,
it's like his the way he hits the baseball, as
Andrea the astrology inside. I would say, it's like he's
got a mood ring. It depends on his mood whether
(10:28):
or not he's going to hit the ball. So this guy,
James Rowson, I've never heard this guy. He's the hitting
coach for the Yankees, but he turned philosopher James Rowson
and summed it up like a man who's staring into
a foggy mirror and contemplating the time space continuum. The
way I translated it when he said it's a hard
(10:48):
question to answer is that Volpi the issue is not mechanical.
It's metaphysical, all right, like the Yankees. Well, this guy
works hard. He works like a coal mine, right, just
covered in you know, just disgusting. I need, it's just horrific, right,
just a coal mine. But the results, let's just say,
(11:10):
more Jackson Pollock than rem Brandt.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Uh if you, if you know, art more of a
Jackson box.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
So one day Volpi's out there and he's hitting moonshots,
you know, and dinger, dinger, dinger. And then the next
he's swinging the bat and it's like he's auditioning to
be a human windmill out in palm spring somewhere.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
And and Volpi's bat exists in two states. You either
have the hot Anthony volpey or the other age H
and H hopeless uh, And there's no middle ground, and
you never know which one you're gonna get. It's like
a box of chocolates. In this case, it's a box score.
You open up the box score, You're.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Like, I don't know what. I don't know what he's
gonna do. I have no idea. Defensively, that's the other issue.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Volpi has gone from a gold glove shortstop to a
glove optional shortstop, which is not ideal. Every ground ball
is a bit of a coin flip, and every throw
is a prayer on a throw and a prayer. And offensively,
the Yankees are playing an expensive arcade game with Anthony Volpi.
It's a high end game. A whack a mole is
(12:14):
what they're doing here. So if they fix a swing
and he has a good offensive week, the glove goes missing,
an action goes a wall. If they tweak the stance,
if they mess around with the stands, the strikeouts go up,
up and away. Since his debut, I saw this nerd
stat and I wanted to share it with you. Since
Anthony Volpi's debut, no hitter with at least fifteen hundred
(12:36):
plate appearances has sucked more than Anthony Volpi in weighted
runs created. That's a nerd stat. That's a nerd stat.
Sounds like an important stat, weighted runs created. Plus God,
these guys have ruined baseball with these stats. Anyway, I'm
using it because it makes my argument sound better, so
(12:57):
I'm using it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
It's essentially what the Yankees are trying to do. It's
like plugging.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You're on a ship, even but you're on a submarine
and the submarine be sinking, and you say, you know
what we're gonna do here, We're going to there's holes
in the submarine. We're gonna plug the holes with chewing
gum and not good chewing gum, just chewing gum.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And there you go.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And you know, come December, the hot stove League in baseball.
Brian Cashman, assuming he's not whacked, it appears he's got
compromising photos of the Steinbrenner family, so well, have that
job forever. But he will be browsing the shortstop aisle
like a you know, somebody at best Buy there on
Christmas Eve kind of looking at all this stuff like,
of course they're probably not open on Christmas Eve. So
(13:39):
the day before Christmas Eve and uh and looking around
and the Yankees down. They obviously need a solution. I'm
not a Yankee fan. I have no skin in the game.
They don't need a temporary fix.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And you gotta think that the leash that Volpi has
is fraying a little bit, that there's factions of the
fan base that's foaming. And now the story it's not over.
We've seen in baseball there are redemption stories. Fulp could
go to a town with no media and flourish, you know,
go out to go to someplace like, I don't know,
(14:10):
pick a Marlins.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
There's no one cares about the Marlins in Miami. Go
there and it turned out to be a pretty good player.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Redemption wrapped in regression does happen in baseball. And I
would not bet on that. The Yankees have a long
line of bus the guys that never make it anywhere else. Right,
quickly to Arlington we go. Final thought, to Arlington we go.
Then we'll get back to the newby night Yankee starter
Nathan Evaldi. Yeah, the guy that dominated in the playoffs
(14:37):
multiple times, overscreer, Nathan Evalde expected to.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Be gone for the rest of the year. He's gonna
miss the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Rotator cuff, rotator cuff injury. So question, does this Nathan
of Aalde injury end the Rangers playoff chances? Does it
end to Texas Rangers playoff chances. There's not a lot
of time left, So the band is warming up and
they're singing the song Turn at.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
The last, the parties over.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Sorry, ed in Arlington, the only Ranger fan that ever
calls the show. Sorry, The Rangers are toast. They're done,
They're cooked. Stick of forking him, all those all those cliches,
all that stuff. Nathan Valdi, And I gotta tell you,
this guy's got brass balls in playoff games. He does.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
The guys were the great playoff pitchers. Nathan Valdi.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
He shoved it down the Dodger throat when he was
with the Red Sox years ago. He's a former Dodger
minor leaguer. I mean, I am.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Talking full playoff brass balls.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
The problem is, obviously that he's also in the regular season,
often reminding people that he's He's also made a blown
glass and that doesn't work well. One gust of wind
and he's like dust in the wind. Yeah, and he's
he needs medical help. The rotator cuff. That's not a tweak.
(16:02):
That's not a tweak. That's a season ending injury for
Nathan Valde.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
He's gone.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And there's a lot of teams that are breathing a
sigh of relieve, teams like the Red Sox and others
that considered acquiring Avalde. At the trade deadline, the Rangers
were still in contention, so there was a debate whether
or not they trade him because of his injury history.
There was some talk to the Rangers would trade Avaldi.
They did not, and they end up getting a thirty
five year old pitcher who has another injury here and
(16:27):
it's the full of all the experience it is. And
now Bruce Bochie, we like playoff Boachie, Bruce Bochie who's
left trying to win a drag race and he's driving
a shopping cart at this point.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
So good luck, and you are what your record says
you are.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
The Rangers beat up the Angels last night, so they
are five hundred team clinging to the faux help full
hope of a playoff team. It's like a cat holding
on to a ceiling fan while it's spinning around. That's
essentially the Rangers. It's the team's a mirage. Yeah, I
won the World Series a couple years agoing, that's great.
(17:05):
But it's like they're looking for that desert oasis, right
and they find it and it turns out to be
a it's a circle k.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
So they're excited about that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
They think they get some water and some snacks and
they go into the circle k and then it's got
no air conditioning and they haven't had a delivery of
snacks and drinks in a while. So yeah, yeah, you know,
the band's warming up here. You'll turn out the lights.
The party's over. The Fat Ladies somewhere out in the
corner there she's singing up. She's doing vocal exercises. It's
like an opera. It is the Ben Melo Show on
