Speaker 2 (00:53):
Here do the Dave Roberts Dodgers have momentum after beating
up the Red Legs.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Also, we are going thumbs up or thumbs down on
Jared Duran saying the Red Sox loss is one on him.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
We'll talk about some.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Of the leftovers as well, from the Cubs and their
loss to the Padres and the Guardians and their their
win against the Detroit Tigers setting up an epic day
in baseball.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Today, we'll talk about all.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Those games to game twos in baseball right now here,
it is our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Well, if you had the Cincinnati Reds upsetting the Dodgers
in the wildcard round, you all right, loser. Well come
in the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
We are in the air everywhere in Unison as we
are the Chef's surprise, coast to coast, porter to order,
and beyond on the vast and bluntly powerful microphones of fs.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Are ammating line.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Do it live from the basis as we cover all
of the bases from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios.
As approved by Perito and Viva los Vicki. This portion
of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible apart
by our friends at ty Iraq.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
For over forty years.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's a long time, I'm told by Ferg Dog and
Alf ti Iraq 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 with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tire i raq dot
com the way tire buying should be and that message
(02:41):
approved by mister nice guest.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So we're back at it again in the bully pulpit.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Here. It is the powerful microphones of Fox Sports Radio
and our lead talking bays Ball.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I know, I know, eventually you'll get into it. It didn't
seem very into it yesterday. It was kind of a
dull baseball hour. I'll see what we do tonight. We'll
keep the good ship floating across the audio ocean. So
we had a full slate, another full day here, first
day of October.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Now we're heading into October second, but.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The first day of October wild Card baseball action. And
we will start with the game that ended closest to
us cracking the powerful microphones here at FSR. That would
be in Los Angeles downtown La Chavez Ravine and the
Dodgers and the Reds.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It was the Reds needing.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
To win the game to stay alive, stay alive, or
else they would be exterminated from the plus. So I
don't if you saw this or not, maybe you were
not watching the game, And if you weren't watching, you
missed Yoshinobu Yama Moto striking out nine and didn't get
much help from his defense early on, but ends up
pitching into the seventh inning. So back to back good
(03:54):
playoff starts for the Dodgers, and they broke it open
four runs in the sixth inning. They beat the Reds
double them up eight to four the final So using
malor math, that means the Dodgers have won the National
League wild Card round and have advanced to the Divisional Series.
Now they hit a bunch of home months the other night,
five home runs. They doubled up the Reds in Game one,
(04:17):
so the Dodgers win the series. And they win it
outscoring the Reds eighteen to nine. So for every two
runs the Dodgers scored using malar math, the red scored
one run. The NL Wildcard Series is over. The Dodgers
have eliminated the Reds. So Cincinnati, everyone now Nana, na da,
(04:40):
good bye.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
You barely knew you, barely knew you. So the Reds
end up going down here.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Mookie Betts, who took the first three months off of
the baseball season, I got a message from the bus driver.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Roberto, are you gonna do a melmo?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'm gonna apologize to Mookie bets ball what he should
apologize to me? For three months after the baseball season,
all these broadcasters licking his toes make me want to
peek in my mouth. But it's nice that Mookie's finally
arrived here. Four hits, four for five, three doubles, eight
partries in the paratree. So now it sets it up.
Now we've got a couple of heavyweights. The Dodgers beat
(05:16):
up a lightweight. Now they play a heavyweight. Dodgers advanced
to face the Phillies and the Delaware Valley.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The National League Divisional Series will begin on.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Saturday while all of us are watching college football and
not paying attention.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
That's how Major League Baseball operates. So there you go.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That'll be going on on Saturday. Let us discuss the
question here we go. Do the Dave Roberts Dodgers have
momentum after beating up the Red LICs. I saw this
several times and it caught my attention. Well, the Dodgers
have the momentum. Now they've got their mojo back because
(05:52):
they beat up the Cincinnati Red. So I've got fairy dust,
Bambi and dentists, and we will combine all of these
things together, and we are gonna put the biscuit in
the basket, is what we're going to do. So my
first thought on this here to answer the question, do
the Dodgers have all the momentum? All the dopey sportscasters
(06:14):
were saying. So I am shaking my head.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
If you're watching on the YouTube feet which, by the way,
if you're not on YouTube, bat job by you. These
monologues are archived for the legendary Audio Vault. You can
watch them on YouTube at YouTube dot com slash at
Ben Maler Show. So I'm shaking my head. No. The
Dodgers pushed around the runt of the playground, all right,
little slow kid on the playground, they pushed them around,
(06:39):
that is what they did.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
The Reds were chum in the water and the Sharks
Tani's a shark. Mookie Betts has arrived now, so he's
back being a shark. And Tayo Hernandez. These guys feasted
on the Cincinnati Reds. The starting pitching did their job.
That's all good stuff. Fine, whoever let me give you
a refresher course. Mallear one, oh one, I'll give you
(07:04):
away mallarism, and the malorism is momentum does not exist,
all right. It is narrative dressing, is what it is.
It's something that a bunch of sports writers. Back when
people used to read these things called newspapers. There were
sports writers who are very powerful. Now they're not, but
back in the day they're very powerful. And it's fairy
(07:25):
dust that the sports writers would sprinkle. They'd sprinkle, it's
like that sprinkles like on top of a cupcake on
the team to make it sound like they've they've become
something amazing, like they're unstoppable force. So you just add
that narrative. All they've got all the momentum, you know.
The only momentum I know is Uncle Ma and he
(07:45):
lives in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
That's it. Now, it's a myth. Every October, it's its
own little universe.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Every October. Here you reset the bracket, you reset the
pressure cooker, you reset everything. Now the Dodgers they are
who they're still who we thought they were. I have
not changed my position on the twenty twenty five Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
They are still the same booby trapped operation.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Now you can puff your chest out about the lineup
and o Tani, this Otani, that be.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
A total fanboy.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
But underneath the blue paint, all right, underneath the blue paint,
the team is actually wired with explosives. They just are
all right, I'm telling you the things booby trapped. And
if you check out out the soft underbelly of the Dodgers. Now,
three errors in this game, the game that they won
on on Wednesday night. So three errors there bad fundamentals.
(08:43):
But the biggest issue here is the Komodo dragon in
the room. There's really no way around it.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The bullpen.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Dodgers have to score eight to ten runs a game
in the playoffs to win. That's not a sustainable formula.
Why is that, Well, here's my hypothesis on this. The
bullpen is essentially a bottle of rollaides just waiting to
be cracked open.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
One by one, one by one.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
These guys had in the era in a series that
two game set. Small sample size, but that's all we
have to go with. You know, the Dodgers bullpen era
against the Reds in these two games eight point eight two.
Let me repeat that for those of you that had
a couple.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Too many beers in the back of the room. We're
not paying attention.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
The Dodgers bullpen five and a third innings gave up
five runs an ERA of eight point eight two.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
They also had seven.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Walks seven walk it walked in two batters against the Reds. Listen,
I like Elie de la Cruz. He's good and that's
about it. But that's the Reds. Imagine what Kyle Schwarber,
Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies are going to do
to that heartburn pen that the Dodgers are gonna be
(09:57):
rolling out there in Philadelphia. And all you need need
to do is keep it closing the game. Plans rather simple.
I don't need to have played Major League baseball. You
just keep it within one or two runs. You don't
even concern if you go to the seventh inning and
you're down by two runs. You're not really all that worried, right,
Just drag him into the late innings. If you're the Phillies,
(10:17):
drag him in the late innings and then Boom goes
to dynamite, or in this case, kub Boom goes to dynamite.
You open up the trap door and the Dodger bullpen
leads the team as they fall into a Pitavanaconda's good
luck on that everything. Everything is great right now because
they won these two games. But I mean people getting
(10:38):
hypnotized by Otani, you know, hitting bombs and mookies spraying
lasers all over the ballpark and all that. I'm telling
you when push comes to show, the Dodgers have not
proved to me that they are over this issue, right
And it's the same old Dave Roberts Dodgers. And I
know what's gonna happen. I've seen this. How many years
have we seen this?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Now? The Dodgers' bullpen's gonna go out there and they're
gonna puke.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
All over themselves. And Roberts is going to come to
the day. I said, well, I really liked him in
that spot. You know, it's always a bozo brigade lurking
in the bullpen there, one walk away, one bloop, single away,
one error away from disaster. And so no, I have
not changed my position to me there there's still the
same accident prone, ulcer inducing Dodgers until proven otherwise. All right, now,
(11:25):
turning the page, we have every other series the team
that lost Game one one game two. So that sets
us up for what should be a pretty good Thursday
with three games, winner take all and advanced to the
Divisional round, including the Red Sox and the Yankees. And
in that particular game, the Red Sox fell behind, came
(11:47):
back and tied it. It was a nip and tuck game.
Now the story here is Red Sox outfielder Jared Duran,
who took responsibility I saw this or not for the
game two loss to the Yankees and the wildcard round.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Now set this up.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
The score was tied to two, was the bottom of
the fifth inning, so there's a lot of baseball to
be played.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But bottom of the fifth inning.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
The Yankees had Trent Grisham, that's an outfielder at second
base with two outs and Aaron Judge at the plate.
So Aaron Judge hit not a home run, he had
a liner to left field. Now Jared Duran of the
Socks came in on it, but in a very awkward manner.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
He stumbled and bumbled. The turf monster got him a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
The ball hit the heel of Duran's glove and pop goes.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
The ball pop.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Right out, fell to the ground. Now Grisham, who actually
hustled something you don't see that often in baseball. He
ran all the way, scored easily from second base, and
that set up Jared Duran post game.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
We have the audio here.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Here's Jared Duran explaining who's responsible for that loss.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Take a listen. I mean, this one's gout sting a
little bit.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
I mean, I know that game is one on me.
If I make up Trevor hits a homer, we take
the lead.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
But you know I I messed.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
It up, gave them a moment on and you know,
things just hopping from there.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
But you know it's the one's on me. I'm gonna
have to wear that one. Do I have to explain
to him there's no such thing as momentum, all right?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So question we're gonna play the thumbs up thumbs down
game thumbs up or thumbs down on Jaren Duran saying
the Red Sox loss is one on him.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Thumb way up, thumb way up to the moon.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, this guy muffed it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
He muffed it. That was a disaster class in left
field defense. And it's it's it's it's game two. The
Red Sox come back and win Game three to'll be
forgotten about if they don't.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's one of those things that will linger.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And it's one of the great things about this time
there October baseball, biggest stage.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Right. The ball hits the heel of your galve, that's
little league, That is little league baseball. Right.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
The Dodgers also had a similar play like that in
their game, but they came back and won, So we're
not gonna sit here and harp on their defensive blunders.
But for the Red Sox, they lost the game, and
you gotta make that play period.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
That's it, right. That was a meat ball of a
fly ball for a major league outfield.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
That wasn't some wall scraper at Yankee Stadium that woke
up the echoes of Babe Ruth and Lou Garrick and
Joelton Joe DiMaggio. It wasn't a laser rocket with tops men.
That was a playable ball, right, a playable ball.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And he came in like bambat on Ice stumbled.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
The ball clanked right off the glove.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
And you can't do that in the obviously, in the playoffs, playoffs,
and some they're not in Pinstripe country, so the Keystone
Cops routeam. The Yankees did not win that inning, and
the Red Sox obviously lost it. And most games are lost,
not one. Most games are lost, not one. That's the
great thing about this in all of sports, in the
playoffs and just in general, in October and all that,
(15:00):
everything gets magnified under the microscope as it should. You
screw up one play, it tilts the whole night from
you know, from this point and going forward. Now again
the Red six have a chance to erase this. And
now Boston is going to go into the wood Chipper
for a do or die game three in the Bronx
with some guy I've never heard of, pitching for the
(15:21):
Red Sox against some guy who's an FCC violation waiting
to happen for the Yankees. His name, which sounds like
it's got the S word in it, So good luck
on that. Now, last word here, what else stands out
by wildcard round? The wildcard round of MLB? So you've
got the couple things stood out to me. And I
was half I was half a sleep, half awake. I
was groggy because I do an overnight radio show. But
(15:43):
the Tigers and the team named after a bridge that
used to be called the Indians, but then the Wolsers
forced them to change the name so that that game
was the early Game and the Detroit offense. My recommendation
after watching that and I was like, is this really
they need to find a Dennis because they were toothless
(16:03):
Tigers in that game. In fact, I have the math here.
The nerds have looked us up. The MotorCity Kitties had
a franchise postseason record fifteen men left on base fifteen,
one for fifteen with runners in scoring position. I didn't
play major League baseball, but that blows. That blows there,
she blows the Tigers office. And now, much like the
(16:27):
Red Sox and the Yankees, that's do or die. Now
the Tigers are in the on deck circle getting getting
knocked out by that rag tag Cleveland Guardians team.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
That really has no business doing what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And yet it looked like they were gonna have it
was one one and it's like and then they scored
a bunch of runs late and open it up in Detroit.
They become the first team to strand fifteen runners in
the playoffs. Since I mean, this is going way back
the Los Angeles Angels, like.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I did it even exist?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I think they tore the franchise down, didn't they disperse
the franchise?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Ch Angelo Angels. We're in a playoff game in nine
my god. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Now as for the National League side of the bracket,
talking about bad offense, I guess it's contagious. The Cubby's offense,
they went limp, we have a pill that we sell
overnight that can help you out on that against the Padres,
the Cubs not only failed to sweep the Padres in
that little two game the best of three win the
two you win. In addition to that, they were human fans.
(17:36):
It is a nice day at Wrigley Feel. But they
lose three to nothing. The Cubs had all of four hits,
one walk, one hit by pitch, and eleven strike cuts,
which I.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Don't think is that good.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
So that means now the Chicago Cubs through two games,
they're one in one.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
The Cubs are batting one seventy five.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
That's the Cubs eighty five percent of the world's work,
the other fifteen saying come out here. It's a playground
for the blank blanks. And that's the that's the Cup players. Now,
it's like, it's not like the Potter is there any better?
The Potters a hitting a buck seventy seven, So it's
not let's not get all horney for the Padres and
the big boppers, mister Tucker and Pete Crow Armstrong.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Well, Armstrong suck.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Crow Armstrong sucked most of the second half the year,
but mostly spectators in this game.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
All right, it is the Ben Malers Show.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I'm still getting messages from these Dodger lap dogs, these
guys that caught ale up with Dodger players.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
What are you going?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
You should apolog I've already addressed the Mookie bet should
apologize to me.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Mookie Bet should give a refund for stealing.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Money, embezzling money for the first three or four months
of the baseball season, and nobody had the balls to
call him out.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
All right, And I'm the.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Bad guy because I called out Mookie Betts for for
stealing money for four months. And all these other toadies
right the fanboys in the media, they don't have the
balls to do that.
Speaker 1 (18:53):

Boston how are you? Doing first time? Calling?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Nate, well you're on the. Air your dreams have come.
True look at, You my.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Dreams has come. True, yeah minor professional hockey player watching
these baseball players celebrate after winning a small. Series you
don't know how much that drives those hockey. Players isn't?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Nuts it is rather, stupid isn't. It it's it's.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Crazy if you're not lifting the cup at the end
of the, season what are you celebrating. FOR i just
don't get. It but.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Thing About, paul think about baseball, though because they if
they celebrate the way it works, now you celebrate when
you qualify for the. Playoffs then if you win the,
division you celebrate.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Again so that's two.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Celebrations if you like The, dodgers didn't they want one
of the top seeds so they're in the wildcard, rounds
so that's a third. Celebration if they win the divisional,
round that's a fourth. Celebration then if they win the
league championship, series that's a fifth, celebration and then if
they win The World, series that's a sixth. Celebration that's
a six, Pack, paul a six pack of.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Celebrations do you want to know why hockey players cannot do?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
That why is, That?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Paul because if we celebrated after every series that we,
won we wouldn't be ready to go for the next.
Series because we hockey, players they go pretty hod when
the potty kicks.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Off so, yeah, Well, PAUL i haven't been around hockey.
Player you just rub some ice on, it, man you
get back out. There you can be hung over skating.

don't don't lie to.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Me you, know in my in my, level minor, professional
absolutely we definitely get deal with. It but at the top,
level if you're trying to compete with the big, boys

Show so there was a rumor bouncing around the echo
chamber this week that The giants Whacked Bob, melvin they
dumped his, ass and The Texas rangers got rid Of
ed And arlington's Guy Bruce, Boccie and so there was
going to be a connection That Bruce bochi would go
back to his native land In San, francisco ALTHOUGH i
think of him as A podres manager, more but, anyway
(34:33):
he'd go back to The giants And Buzzer posey was
asked about that and said that despite popular opinion by popular,
People Bruce bocci will not be a candidate to manage
The San Francisco. Higantes he will not be going. Back
so the question is, why? Right is it because he's too?

glory days of The, giants back when they you, know
they used to Win World?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Series they? Did, Uh so there's something else going on?
Speaker 2 (35:19):
There Is boachie just burned out and just wants to
enjoy the time he's got, left and he's got enough
money and he doesn't need to deal with the bull,
crap and he can be a team ambassador and come
back and everyone will kiss his.

We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Also, we are going thumbs up or thumbs down on

Speaker 1 (01:06):

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Of the leftovers as well, from the Cubs and their

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Today, we'll talk about all.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Those games to game twos in baseball right now here,
it is our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Well, if you had the Cincinnati Reds upsetting the Dodgers
in the wildcard round, you all right, loser. Well come
in the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
We are in the air everywhere in Unison as we
are the Chef's surprise, coast to coast, porter to order,
and beyond on the vast and bluntly powerful microphones of fs.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Are ammating line.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Do it live from the basis as we cover all
of the bases from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios.
As approved by Perito and Viva los Vicki. This portion
of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible apart
by our friends at ty Iraq.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
For over forty years.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's a long time, I'm told by Ferg Dog and
Alf ti Iraq 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 with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tire i raq dot
com the way tire buying should be and that message
(02:41):
approved by mister nice guest.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So we're back at it again in the bully pulpit.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Here. It is the powerful microphones of Fox Sports Radio
and our lead talking bays Ball.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I know, I know, eventually you'll get into it. It didn't
seem very into it yesterday. It was kind of a
dull baseball hour. I'll see what we do tonight. We'll
keep the good ship floating across the audio ocean. So
we had a full slate, another full day here, first
day of October.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Now we're heading into October second, but.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The first day of October wild Card baseball action. And
we will start with the game that ended closest to
us cracking the powerful microphones here at FSR. That would
be in Los Angeles downtown La Chavez Ravine and the
Dodgers and the Reds.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It was the Reds needing.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
To win the game to stay alive, stay alive, or
else they would be exterminated from the plus. So I
don't if you saw this or not, maybe you were
not watching the game, And if you weren't watching, you
missed Yoshinobu Yama Moto striking out nine and didn't get
much help from his defense early on, but ends up
pitching into the seventh inning. So back to back good
(03:54):
playoff starts for the Dodgers, and they broke it open
four runs in the sixth inning. They beat the Reds
double them up eight to four the final So using
malor math, that means the Dodgers have won the National
League wild Card round and have advanced to the Divisional Series.
Now they hit a bunch of home months the other night,
five home runs. They doubled up the Reds in Game one,
(04:17):
so the Dodgers win the series. And they win it
outscoring the Reds eighteen to nine. So for every two
runs the Dodgers scored using malar math, the red scored
one run. The NL Wildcard Series is over. The Dodgers
have eliminated the Reds. So Cincinnati, everyone now Nana, na da,
(04:40):
good bye.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
You barely knew you, barely knew you. So the Reds
end up going down here.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Mookie Betts, who took the first three months off of
the baseball season, I got a message from the bus driver.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Roberto, are you gonna do a melmo?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'm gonna apologize to Mookie bets ball what he should
apologize to me? For three months after the baseball season,
all these broadcasters licking his toes make me want to
peek in my mouth. But it's nice that Mookie's finally
arrived here. Four hits, four for five, three doubles, eight
partries in the paratree. So now it sets it up.
Now we've got a couple of heavyweights. The Dodgers beat
(05:16):
up a lightweight. Now they play a heavyweight. Dodgers advanced
to face the Phillies and the Delaware Valley.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The National League Divisional Series will begin on.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Saturday while all of us are watching college football and
not paying attention.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
That's how Major League Baseball operates. So there you go.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That'll be going on on Saturday. Let us discuss the
question here we go. Do the Dave Roberts Dodgers have
momentum after beating up the Red LICs. I saw this
several times and it caught my attention. Well, the Dodgers
have the momentum. Now they've got their mojo back because
(05:52):
they beat up the Cincinnati Red. So I've got fairy dust,
Bambi and dentists, and we will combine all of these
things together, and we are gonna put the biscuit in
the basket, is what we're going to do. So my
first thought on this here to answer the question, do
the Dodgers have all the momentum? All the dopey sportscasters
(06:14):
were saying. So I am shaking my head.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
If you're watching on the YouTube feet which, by the way,
if you're not on YouTube, bat job by you. These
monologues are archived for the legendary Audio Vault. You can
watch them on YouTube at YouTube dot com slash at
Ben Maler Show. So I'm shaking my head. No. The
Dodgers pushed around the runt of the playground, all right,
little slow kid on the playground, they pushed them around,
(06:39):
that is what they did.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
The Reds were chum in the water and the Sharks
Tani's a shark. Mookie Betts has arrived now, so he's
back being a shark. And Tayo Hernandez. These guys feasted
on the Cincinnati Reds. The starting pitching did their job.
That's all good stuff. Fine, whoever let me give you
a refresher course. Mallear one, oh one, I'll give you
(07:04):
away mallarism, and the malorism is momentum does not exist,
all right. It is narrative dressing, is what it is.
It's something that a bunch of sports writers. Back when
people used to read these things called newspapers. There were
sports writers who are very powerful. Now they're not, but
back in the day they're very powerful. And it's fairy
(07:25):
dust that the sports writers would sprinkle. They'd sprinkle, it's
like that sprinkles like on top of a cupcake on
the team to make it sound like they've they've become
something amazing, like they're unstoppable force. So you just add
that narrative. All they've got all the momentum, you know.
The only momentum I know is Uncle Ma and he
(07:45):
lives in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
That's it. Now, it's a myth. Every October, it's its
own little universe.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Every October. Here you reset the bracket, you reset the
pressure cooker, you reset everything. Now the Dodgers they are
who they're still who we thought they were. I have
not changed my position on the twenty twenty five Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
They are still the same booby trapped operation.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Now you can puff your chest out about the lineup
and o Tani, this Otani, that be.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
A total fanboy.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
But underneath the blue paint, all right, underneath the blue paint,
the team is actually wired with explosives. They just are
all right, I'm telling you the things booby trapped. And
if you check out out the soft underbelly of the Dodgers. Now,
three errors in this game, the game that they won
on on Wednesday night. So three errors there bad fundamentals.
(08:43):
But the biggest issue here is the Komodo dragon in
the room. There's really no way around it.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
The bullpen.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Dodgers have to score eight to ten runs a game
in the playoffs to win. That's not a sustainable formula.
Why is that, Well, here's my hypothesis on this. The
bullpen is essentially a bottle of rollaides just waiting to
be cracked open.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
One by one, one by one.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
These guys had in the era in a series that
two game set. Small sample size, but that's all we
have to go with. You know, the Dodgers bullpen era
against the Reds in these two games eight point eight two.
Let me repeat that for those of you that had
a couple.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Too many beers in the back of the room. We're
not paying attention.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
The Dodgers bullpen five and a third innings gave up
five runs an ERA of eight point eight two.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
They also had seven.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Walks seven walk it walked in two batters against the Reds. Listen,
I like Elie de la Cruz. He's good and that's
about it. But that's the Reds. Imagine what Kyle Schwarber,
Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies are going to do
to that heartburn pen that the Dodgers are gonna be
(09:57):
rolling out there in Philadelphia. And all you need need
to do is keep it closing the game. Plans rather simple.
I don't need to have played Major League baseball. You
just keep it within one or two runs. You don't
even concern if you go to the seventh inning and
you're down by two runs. You're not really all that worried, right,
Just drag him into the late innings. If you're the Phillies,
(10:17):
drag him in the late innings and then Boom goes
to dynamite, or in this case, kub Boom goes to dynamite.
You open up the trap door and the Dodger bullpen
leads the team as they fall into a Pitavanaconda's good
luck on that everything. Everything is great right now because
they won these two games. But I mean people getting
(10:38):
hypnotized by Otani, you know, hitting bombs and mookies spraying
lasers all over the ballpark and all that. I'm telling
you when push comes to show, the Dodgers have not
proved to me that they are over this issue, right
And it's the same old Dave Roberts Dodgers. And I
know what's gonna happen. I've seen this. How many years
have we seen this?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Now? The Dodgers' bullpen's gonna go out there and they're
gonna puke.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
All over themselves. And Roberts is going to come to
the day. I said, well, I really liked him in
that spot. You know, it's always a bozo brigade lurking
in the bullpen there, one walk away, one bloop, single away,
one error away from disaster. And so no, I have
not changed my position to me there there's still the
same accident prone, ulcer inducing Dodgers until proven otherwise. All right, now,
(11:25):
turning the page, we have every other series the team
that lost Game one one game two. So that sets
us up for what should be a pretty good Thursday
with three games, winner take all and advanced to the
Divisional round, including the Red Sox and the Yankees. And
in that particular game, the Red Sox fell behind, came
(11:47):
back and tied it. It was a nip and tuck game.
Now the story here is Red Sox outfielder Jared Duran,
who took responsibility I saw this or not for the
game two loss to the Yankees and the wildcard round.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Now set this up.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
The score was tied to two, was the bottom of
the fifth inning, so there's a lot of baseball to
be played.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But bottom of the fifth inning.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
The Yankees had Trent Grisham, that's an outfielder at second
base with two outs and Aaron Judge at the plate.
So Aaron Judge hit not a home run, he had
a liner to left field. Now Jared Duran of the
Socks came in on it, but in a very awkward manner.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
He stumbled and bumbled. The turf monster got him a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
The ball hit the heel of Duran's glove and pop goes.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
The ball pop.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Right out, fell to the ground. Now Grisham, who actually
hustled something you don't see that often in baseball. He
ran all the way, scored easily from second base, and
that set up Jared Duran post game.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
We have the audio here.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Here's Jared Duran explaining who's responsible for that loss.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Take a listen. I mean, this one's gout sting a
little bit.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
I mean, I know that game is one on me.
If I make up Trevor hits a homer, we take
the lead.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
But you know I I messed.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
It up, gave them a moment on and you know,
things just hopping from there.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
But you know it's the one's on me. I'm gonna
have to wear that one. Do I have to explain
to him there's no such thing as momentum, all right?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So question we're gonna play the thumbs up thumbs down
game thumbs up or thumbs down on Jaren Duran saying
the Red Sox loss is one on him.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Thumb way up, thumb way up to the moon.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, this guy muffed it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
He muffed it. That was a disaster class in left
field defense. And it's it's it's it's game two. The
Red Sox come back and win Game three to'll be
forgotten about if they don't.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's one of those things that will linger.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And it's one of the great things about this time
there October baseball, biggest stage.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Right. The ball hits the heel of your galve, that's
little league, That is little league baseball. Right.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
The Dodgers also had a similar play like that in
their game, but they came back and won, So we're
not gonna sit here and harp on their defensive blunders.
But for the Red Sox, they lost the game, and
you gotta make that play period.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
That's it, right. That was a meat ball of a
fly ball for a major league outfield.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
That wasn't some wall scraper at Yankee Stadium that woke
up the echoes of Babe Ruth and Lou Garrick and
Joelton Joe DiMaggio. It wasn't a laser rocket with tops men.
That was a playable ball, right, a playable ball.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And he came in like bambat on Ice stumbled.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
The ball clanked right off the glove.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
And you can't do that in the obviously, in the playoffs, playoffs,
and some they're not in Pinstripe country, so the Keystone
Cops routeam. The Yankees did not win that inning, and
the Red Sox obviously lost it. And most games are lost,
not one. Most games are lost, not one. That's the
great thing about this in all of sports, in the
playoffs and just in general, in October and all that,
(15:00):
everything gets magnified under the microscope as it should. You
screw up one play, it tilts the whole night from
you know, from this point and going forward. Now again
the Red six have a chance to erase this. And
now Boston is going to go into the wood Chipper
for a do or die game three in the Bronx
with some guy I've never heard of, pitching for the
(15:21):
Red Sox against some guy who's an FCC violation waiting
to happen for the Yankees. His name, which sounds like
it's got the S word in it, So good luck
on that. Now, last word here, what else stands out
by wildcard round? The wildcard round of MLB? So you've
got the couple things stood out to me. And I
was half I was half a sleep, half awake. I
was groggy because I do an overnight radio show. But
(15:43):
the Tigers and the team named after a bridge that
used to be called the Indians, but then the Wolsers
forced them to change the name so that that game
was the early Game and the Detroit offense. My recommendation
after watching that and I was like, is this really
they need to find a Dennis because they were toothless
(16:03):
Tigers in that game. In fact, I have the math here.
The nerds have looked us up. The MotorCity Kitties had
a franchise postseason record fifteen men left on base fifteen,
one for fifteen with runners in scoring position. I didn't
play major League baseball, but that blows. That blows there,
she blows the Tigers office. And now, much like the
(16:27):
Red Sox and the Yankees, that's do or die. Now
the Tigers are in the on deck circle getting getting
knocked out by that rag tag Cleveland Guardians team.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
That really has no business doing what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And yet it looked like they were gonna have it
was one one and it's like and then they scored
a bunch of runs late and open it up in Detroit.
They become the first team to strand fifteen runners in
the playoffs. Since I mean, this is going way back
the Los Angeles Angels, like.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I did it even exist?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I think they tore the franchise down, didn't they disperse
the franchise?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Ch Angelo Angels. We're in a playoff game in nine
my god. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Now as for the National League side of the bracket,
talking about bad offense, I guess it's contagious. The Cubby's offense,
they went limp, we have a pill that we sell
overnight that can help you out on that against the Padres,
the Cubs not only failed to sweep the Padres in
that little two game the best of three win the
two you win. In addition to that, they were human fans.
(17:36):
It is a nice day at Wrigley Feel. But they
lose three to nothing. The Cubs had all of four hits,
one walk, one hit by pitch, and eleven strike cuts,
which I.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Don't think is that good.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
So that means now the Chicago Cubs through two games,
they're one in one.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
The Cubs are batting one seventy five.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
That's the Cubs eighty five percent of the world's work,
the other fifteen saying come out here. It's a playground
for the blank blanks. And that's the that's the Cup players. Now,
it's like, it's not like the Potter is there any better?
The Potters a hitting a buck seventy seven, So it's
not let's not get all horney for the Padres and
the big boppers, mister Tucker and Pete Crow Armstrong.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Well, Armstrong suck.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Crow Armstrong sucked most of the second half the year,
but mostly spectators in this game.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
All right, it is the Ben Malers Show.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I'm still getting messages from these Dodger lap dogs, these
guys that caught ale up with Dodger players.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
What are you going?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
You should apolog I've already addressed the Mookie bet should
apologize to me.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Mookie Bet should give a refund for stealing.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Money, embezzling money for the first three or four months
of the baseball season, and nobody had the balls to
call him out.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
All right, And I'm the.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Bad guy because I called out Mookie Betts for for
stealing money for four months. And all these other toadies
right the fanboys in the media, they don't have the
balls to do that.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Paul paul's In boston and he's. Up first, Year Help?
Paul what's going?
Speaker 5 (26:24):
On?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Paul? Welcome were In.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Boston how are you? Doing first time? Calling?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Nate, well you're on the. Air your dreams have come.
True look at, You my.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Dreams has come. True, yeah minor professional hockey player watching
these baseball players celebrate after winning a small. Series you
don't know how much that drives those hockey. Players isn't?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Nuts it is rather, stupid isn't. It it's it's.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Crazy if you're not lifting the cup at the end
of the, season what are you celebrating. FOR i just
don't get. It but.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Thing About, paul think about baseball, though because they if
they celebrate the way it works, now you celebrate when
you qualify for the. Playoffs then if you win the,
division you celebrate.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Again so that's two.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Celebrations if you like The, dodgers didn't they want one
of the top seeds so they're in the wildcard, rounds
so that's a third. Celebration if they win the divisional,
round that's a fourth. Celebration then if they win the
league championship, series that's a fifth, celebration and then if
they win The World, series that's a sixth. Celebration that's
a six, Pack, paul a six pack of.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Celebrations do you want to know why hockey players cannot do?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
That why is, That?
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Paul because if we celebrated after every series that we,
won we wouldn't be ready to go for the next.
Series because we hockey, players they go pretty hod when
the potty kicks.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Off so, yeah, Well, PAUL i haven't been around hockey.
Player you just rub some ice on, it, man you
get back out. There you can be hung over skating.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Around come, On hockey players can deal with, that, Right
don't don't lie to.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Me you, know in my in my, level minor, professional
absolutely we definitely get deal with. It but at the top,
level if you're trying to compete with the big, boys
that's going to be tough To, well let.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Me tell you Some.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Paul years, AGO i in my early, DAYS i was
lucky enough to be in a situation with a professional
baseball TEAM i traveled, with and those guys would be
out until the sun till the sun came, up and
then there'd be a day, game, right a day, game
and these these mforts were pitching.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
FINE i was the ONE i was even, playing AND

Speaker 5 (28:32):
You, WELL i got traded to a team In pensacola

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
