hour here in hour number two. Does Vladimir Guerrero Junior
deserve the heat he's getting from the Toronto Blue Jay
fans and baseball pundits for his substandard start to the
(00:27):
American League Championship Series as Toronto is in the hole? Also,
how do you explain the other side Seattle winners of
the first two games, the playoff dominance of Mariner's second
baseman Jorge Polanco, Captain clutch and outside of that series?
Are we getting the whole story on Mike Shilt being
whacked as manager of the Padres that are claiming he retired.
(00:50):
Not many people who use common sense believe that's actually
what happened. We'll talk about that and more right now.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Settle in.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
It's our number two, inching a little bit closer. Welcome
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we make strange bedfellows,
but never ever make a rookie mistake. Coast to coast,
(01:20):
border to border, in beyond. On the vast and spifoly
powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the garbage as
we are right there in extra garbage time from the
world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by Robbie
the Mariner, Fan jj in Retton Nostradinas Crying, Craig Bennett,
(01:44):
the comedian, and several others in the great contingent from
the Pacific northwest of the Malar Militia and this portion
of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible in
part by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,
Tyraq has been to help 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
(02:08):
options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot Com the
Way Tire Buying Show be. So are lead this hour.
We talked National League Baseball. Last hour, the Dodgers get
the jump on the Brew Crew, so there are three
wins away from getting the World Series. And in the
American League we start out this hour in Canada. Why
(02:28):
because that's where the game was quick turnaround in the
American League Championship Series Toronto, trying to even things up
at a win a piece in game number two. Game
number two there against the Seattle MS. Busy sporting day
there on a Monday, so we were clue to the
(02:48):
remote control flipping around there, watched the game, watched a
lot of the Fortunately, it was very nice. This game
was lopsided because we got to focus on some other things.
There was no need to watch the end of the
game because the game was over bye. We got by
the time we got to that point. But if you
didn't see it, with the roof open, a breezy, sixty
two degree Canadian day there on Canadian Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving,
(03:13):
well the day after now sellout crowd there forty four thousand,
almost forty five thousand on hand to celebrate the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh man, it's gonna be big. Let's just say it
ended up being a very.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Demoralizing, a demoralizing day for the hometown fans.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
There are brothers and sisters in Canada as.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
J Rid getting done, Julio Rodriguez and Jorge Polanco three
run ding dongs for Seattle. Josh Naylor, who's a Canadian lad,
nailed one there a two run gopher ball Seattle getting
her done. He took a commanding two to zero lead,
winning both games on the road in the ALCS with
(03:55):
a route or route depending on where you grew up
there ten to three, the final score, no drama, the
game over heading into the final innings. The Mariners are
the only Big league team to never play in the
World Series. They're the only one, and they head home.
Now it's traveled. Then they're going to be traveling. Actually,
(04:18):
they'll be hitchhiking from Toronto to Seattle and they'll head
home there. Wednesday is the next scheduled game, Game three.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Seattle needs to somehow win.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Two more games and the drought will end and they'll
be off to the Fall Classic. The better story, though,
is in the losing locker room, So that is where
we are going to start here. Lots of fingers being
pointed at Vladimir Guerrero Junior. Why because he has not
(04:51):
been getting it the Remember all those big hits he
had against the Yankees in the Divisional round. Appears he's
run out of big hits. He might want to go
buy some. Guerrero's had seven at bats in the American
League Championship Series, and he has as many hits as
you and I.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Have none bumpkis.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So let us discuss question does Vladimir Guerrero Junior deserve
the heat that he's getting from the Blue Jay Backers
for this very anemic start to the American League Championship Series.
So on this one, I've got chef Hat and Apron,
Rocket Fizz and alt Rock and we will combine all
(05:33):
of these things together. We're gonna make the Gabba goool.
We're gonna make the Gabba gool. So number jump the gun. There,
you jump the gun number on.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
All right, So it to answer the question, does Vlatty Guerrero.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Junior deserve the heat he's getting?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I am nodding my head. Yes, I'm nodding my passionate. Yes,
you're watching on the YouTube feed which is delayed. Of course,
I'm nodding my head. Yes, there at Ben Maler show
on YouTube. So this goes with the real estate. I
think we all know that as grown ups, we all
kind of understand that at Vladdie was going to test
the market until he decided not to test the mary
(06:15):
and he would have been heading towards free agency.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But now he's got a fourteen year contract for five
hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's a lot of money. I'm told that's a lot
of money. So I was taught as a little kid
by stan Lee, who taught me from Marvel Comics and
Spider Man that with great power or wealth comes great responsibility.
I learned that from Spider Man. And you get the cash,
you get the scrutiny. It goes hand in hand.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You gotta own it. You gotta own it.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Here and this was, as we mentioned, the Canadian Thanksgiving,
and vlad was celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving by putting on
his chef hat, his apron and serving the entire Greater
metropolitan area around Toronto a nice list slice of butterball turkey.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Is he was? The turkey? Is what he was?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Goose eggs, side of goose eggs for Vladimir Gario Junior.
There of the Blue Jays. How do you have a
guy who was monthstermashing against the New York Yankees and
pounding champagne, playing grab ass with Big Poppy on Fox
there singing.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
The ya Geys lose, the ya Gey's lose.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Going over and over that, and now here we are
fast forward the American League Championship Series and he's playing
like SpongeBob SquarePants. The only one that likes that, by
the way, is FERDG. Nobody else says I want my
star player to play like SpongeBob. But here we are,
so to give you an idea juxtaposed what he was
against the Yankees and what he is now. The Poltergeist
(07:50):
has returned for playoff of Lanny, and the Playoffs are
his nanny.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He batted five.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Twenty nine against the Yankees in his career, and he's
only played a few games against the Yankees, but five
to twenty nine batting average against the Yankees in the playoffs.
Against everyone else, all the other opponents, he's batting one
to oh three in his playoff career against anybody not
wearing the Yankee uniform. So I didn't play major league baseball,
(08:18):
but I gotta tell you I think that's not good.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh you're such a critic. Well are you so critical?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I'm just saying, all right, So you can't be this bat.
You can't be he's worse than Otani to a tonye stinks.
But against everyone else he's been Oh my god, you're
supposed to be the man. You can't be the man
when you're not hitting and the Canadian King of launch
Angle and all that nerd stuff rolling out there, and
(08:47):
his bat. It's interesting. Maybe they switched it out and
nobody told him. When he's playing the Yankees, he's got
like a corked bat, and then against everyone else, his
bat is made of a wet pasta. It's like a
Fetichie and Alfredo noodle that he's swinging up there, fascinating
and he's I know that's allowed. So the Thanksgiving dish
(09:07):
was he had the butterball turkey side of goose eggs,
and then for dessert they had.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Humble pie for Vladimir Guerrero Junior.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
A little humble pie there, wonderful Thanksgiving, Canadian Thanksgiving. And
so this was again the story was he had flipped
the script against the Yankees, and it was all different.
And instead, the only thing that has flipped here against
Seattle is Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Giving the number one.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
So giving the bird the bird is the word, giving
the bird to the good fans there of the Toronto
Blue Jays, and so yeah, the fans have every right
to be upset. You invest the most important thing you
have in your time is in your life, is time
and you invest that watching these games. And it's not
nitpicking to point this out. This is playoff baseball and
(09:54):
he's the star player, he's the forever blue Jay, and
he's not good.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So that's the problem. Now, page two.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So on the Seattle side of things, the winning locker room,
which is not as good a story it is not Now,
I got an email from a listener in Seattle listens
on kJ R to the Ben Mallor Show and was
very upset saying that I should focus more on the
Mariners and less on Toronto. Said that that's a mistake
by me. Again, I'm not wired that way. I am
(10:23):
wired to focus on the losing, not the winning. But
I will give you a moment here on the Seattle Mariners.
So the question, to me, that's most compelling as someone
that sat on my ass and watched this game until
the late innings when I turned it off because the
game was already over. The Blue Jays had decided not
to compete, so I said, I'm out, I'm done. So
(10:46):
the question is, how do you explain how do you
explain the playoff dominance in big moments for Mariner's second Basement.
Jorge Polanco he did it again, the longtime Minnesota twin.
I know that makes hollering James very happy and all
our friends in Minnesota. But this is this is not
some kind of magical fairy dust that he bought on
(11:08):
Timu and is putting on the field.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
This is not that. And we know that momentum.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Despite what John Smolt says, Despite what John Smolt says,
it's not true. It's just lazy sports casting. So that
doesn't exist. And this is the thing that drives the
nerds absolutely crazy, right, they go absolutely nuts. They're algorithms.
The super AI computer program would tell you that Polanco's
(11:40):
not that good and he is hitting just two thirty
one this playoff. Did you know that? Yes, Jorge Polanco,
the star of Stars for the Seattle baseball team, is
batting two thirty one.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
He's a bum. The guy's a bum.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
If you look at the spreadsheets, every single one of
those hits, though, every single one of those hits has
been in absolute stake through the Blue Jay's heart or
the Tigers before that, all three go ahead knocks in
(12:17):
the fifth inning or later for Polanco's we're told, the
first guy in MLB history to do that in a
single postseason and all of them in a row.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong. That is the stuff
legends are made of.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And we always see these second rate players every couple
of years that have a ridiculous postseason performance.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
And this appears to be the year for Polanco.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
And the lesson though, this guy, the way he's playing,
he's going to get a key to the city of Seattle.
Not that you necessarily want that, but the lesson here
October laughs, ha ha ha, your little algorithms, your little
super algorithms, and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
October is about.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Dudes, random dudes who rise up in the Mall right,
all that matters is what you do in the moment, right,
what do you do in the moment? Give me an example,
ter Rang for the Brewers could have been hit by
a pitch, would have tied the game, and he jumped
out of the way. He gets hit by the pitch,
and well, what a gutty hat bat to take that
hit by pitch. But yeah, but Polanco, it's great because
(13:24):
people are losing their minds in the nerd communities. This
is not supposed to happen. We have all the numbers,
we have all the information here. Yeah, it's a it's
small sample sized theater, is what it is, right, and
it's people get upset by that. The people that are
running baseball right now, it's been it's been hijacked. People
(13:45):
have been brainwashed by this. And that is why postseason baseball,
even with all of the shortcomings, and they still try
to over over the influence the outcome of this game
with the algorithms and all that, postseason baseball is a
trip to rocket fit. Is it's candy, It's chaos candy
because the people that are deciding many of these decisions
(14:07):
made prior to the game based on a computer program.
And yet it's classic October baseball. Here we are sitting
here in the NLCS and the ALCS, and a guy
that will never be on a billboard, right, that will
never be starring in a commercial, and is now the
(14:27):
face of Mariner playoff baseball. He's Captain Clutch and he's
still batting two thirty one. Seattle wins this thing. They're
gonna put a mural up in downtown Seattle there for
this guy and Robbie the Mariner fans fat ass is
gonna paint it right. And then this is this series
in the bag for the Mariners at this point.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Now, no, no, no, no, it's not in the bag.
Nothing's in the bag. It's not.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Seattle has a choke hold on it. Right now, you
would have said Toronto had an advantage going into the
games in Toronto. Could this be a verse sweep?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
We didn't.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I think it was the cheating Astros and the Washington Nationals.
Wasn't that series where the road team like won every game.
We see that every once in a while. And remember,
stream outcomes are followed by more moderate outcomes generally speaking,
and so October baseball is where the randomness often outweighs
the predicted value, which is what baseball is run on.
(15:24):
Predicted value, the small sample size. F's that up, all right?
Final point to Sunday Ago. We go shake up in
the dugout, shake up in the dugout. The underachieving baseball
team in Sundayego has said bye bye to their manager.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We learned that Mike got.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
To make sure I say this, probably Shilt don't want
to say the wrong Mike Shilt. Mike Shilt is out
as Padres manager with two years remaining. Two years remaining
on his contract he's claiming it's a retirement, citing the
quote severe toll close quote the job has taken him.
(16:03):
And he also said quote mentally he said, physically and
emotionally close quote. Okay, So question, are we getting the
whole story on Mike Shilt being out Gonzo as the
skipper in Sun Diego.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So here's what my theory on this is.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And I was sending some messages around to people I
know that are a little closer to the situation than
I am. And what we're doing here is getting a version,
a version of the truth.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
However, it's just a version. It's not the whole truth.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
And it's definitely not nothing but the truth what we're
hearing out of San Diego. And I would say, based
on the malarods, there is about a three percent chance
that this is legit. It's all on the up and up,
and there's not more to the story. Three percent chance
that this is the case. He had two years left
(17:00):
in his contract, and this is a baseball lifer. He's
fifty seven years old, two years left on the contract.
The math ain't mathing on this, Okay, It's just not
we're not getting the full version of events here.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
We're not. I mean that line.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
There was a line in the prepared statement that the
Padres sent out when they announced that Shilt was retiring.
The line was, quote, he said, it's time I take
care of myself, an exit on my terms.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Close quote. You know what. That was dead give away.
That was a tell. That was you know what, Yes,
you're nod in your head. Yes, that's a tell. You
know what. That was Alt Rock spin doctors. That was
the spin doctors.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
It's PR verbiage, PR language from Mike Schilt. The language was, Hey,
we gave this guy a choice, and the choice was
you either walk.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Here's the ultimatum.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
You can either walk and pretend you're retiring, which you're not,
and we'll pay you some money, or we're gonna can
your ass. You're gone and so proud baseball man. Mike Shield,
the Padres former manager, did not suddenly get overwhelmed by
the sound of seagulls in October.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
He did not hear and we don't want to hear about. Well,
that's a tough, tough situation.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That job is not that easy.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
You're not the president of the United States.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
You know, you're not making global life and death decisions.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Here.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
In fact, if you're a baseball lifer, you're living the dream.
You get to live in San Diego Paradise, right, you
live in San Diego and you're Major League baseball managing
is one of the great jobs in the world. It's
you're like you you're like a teacher because you get
all this time off. Now, the time offs in the winter,
not the summertime get a lot of time off. You
(18:56):
don't make the playoffs, you're even if you make the playoffs,
you're out early October and you're off the balance of October, November, December, January.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It's three and a half months now.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Usually spring training starts in February mid February, but a
lot of downtime. And when you're traveling the rigors of
Major League Baseball, you travel in chartered flights, five star hotels.
You're staying at the Ritz Carlton in every town. You've
got private buses, VIP travel per diem. You're eating at
(19:31):
the greatest restaurants, and if you don't want to eat out,
you want to save your money catered spreads in the
clubhouse post game. That is not a job that people
walk away from. It's not the job people walk away from.
Is the job where they're cleaning toilets and they're they're
cleaning other people's crapola. That's a job you walk away
(19:53):
from because you're just burned out on it. Being a
big league manager when you've spent your entire adult life
in baseball is not a job that you walk away from, right,
you know, leave. This just smells like a like a
rotten fish taco is what it smells like here? And
uh yeah, I mean this is a power play. So
my theory, this is a original Mallard conspiracy theory. I
(20:14):
wanna run this by you here. It is Mallard conspiracy
theory power play. You've got Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis
Junior who have forever contracts with the Podres. These guys
are around for like a seven eight years minimum, super egos, giant,
(20:36):
look at me, guys, naval gazing a holes and they
bring the drama. There's more drama. There is more drama
in the Podres clubhouse than a Bravo reality show. Okay,
And so if those guys don't vibe with the manager,
who do you think who do you think is going
his ass? Is grass and they're gonna ride the lawnmower,
(20:57):
the John Deere lawnmower right over. And don't forget aj Preller,
the GM there in San Diego, another of these nerd guys,
aj Preller. This guy treats managers like a tissue, like kleenex.
You know, they're disposable. You blow your nose, you throw
one out, and you get another one if you need it.
It's been a revolving door there in San Diego since
(21:18):
he took over. And Shil wasn't really managing a baseball
team in San Diego. He was babysitting, you know, the
billionaire's toy toy store. The potter and the owner died
a year and a half ago or whatever it was.
And so when the star players will start belly aching
and complaining. There was very embarrassing interview Machado did after
(21:38):
the Padres lost to the Cubs in the playoffs, and
it's just a mess.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
So it's not like they lost a skipper in San Diego.
They lost a therapist who just repeats what the nerds
want with the lineup card. It is the Ben Mallor Show,

Welcome it. It's our number two. Happy Tuesdays. You breaking
down the American League Championship Series. This hour another baseball
hour here in hour number two. Does Vladimir Guerrero Junior
deserve the heat he's getting from the Toronto Blue Jay
fans and baseball pundits for his substandard start to the
(00:27):
American League Championship Series as Toronto is in the hole? Also,
how do you explain the other side Seattle winners of
the first two games, the playoff dominance of Mariner's second
baseman Jorge Polanco, Captain clutch and outside of that series?
Are we getting the whole story on Mike Shilt being
whacked as manager of the Padres that are claiming he retired.
(00:50):
Not many people who use common sense believe that's actually
what happened. We'll talk about that and more right now.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Settle in.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
It's our number two, inching a little bit closer. Welcome
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we make strange bedfellows,
but never ever make a rookie mistake. Coast to coast,
(01:20):
border to border, in beyond. On the vast and spifoly
powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the garbage as
we are right there in extra garbage time from the
world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by Robbie
the Mariner, Fan jj in Retton Nostradinas Crying, Craig Bennett,
(01:44):
the comedian, and several others in the great contingent from
the Pacific northwest of the Malar Militia and this portion
of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible in
part by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,
Tyraq has been to help 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
(02:08):
options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot Com the
Way Tire Buying Show be. So are lead this hour.
We talked National League Baseball. Last hour, the Dodgers get
the jump on the Brew Crew, so there are three
wins away from getting the World Series. And in the
American League we start out this hour in Canada. Why
(02:28):
because that's where the game was quick turnaround in the
American League Championship Series Toronto, trying to even things up
at a win a piece in game number two. Game
number two there against the Seattle MS. Busy sporting day
there on a Monday, so we were clue to the
(02:48):
remote control flipping around there, watched the game, watched a
lot of the Fortunately, it was very nice. This game
was lopsided because we got to focus on some other things.
There was no need to watch the end of the
game because the game was over bye. We got by
the time we got to that point. But if you
didn't see it, with the roof open, a breezy, sixty
two degree Canadian day there on Canadian Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving,
(03:13):
well the day after now sellout crowd there forty four thousand,
almost forty five thousand on hand to celebrate the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh man, it's gonna be big. Let's just say it
ended up being a very.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Demoralizing, a demoralizing day for the hometown fans.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
There are brothers and sisters in Canada as.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
J Rid getting done, Julio Rodriguez and Jorge Polanco three
run ding dongs for Seattle. Josh Naylor, who's a Canadian lad,
nailed one there a two run gopher ball Seattle getting
her done. He took a commanding two to zero lead,
winning both games on the road in the ALCS with
(03:55):
a route or route depending on where you grew up
there ten to three, the final score, no drama, the
game over heading into the final innings. The Mariners are
the only Big league team to never play in the
World Series. They're the only one, and they head home.
Now it's traveled. Then they're going to be traveling. Actually,
(04:18):
they'll be hitchhiking from Toronto to Seattle and they'll head
home there. Wednesday is the next scheduled game, Game three.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Seattle needs to somehow win.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Two more games and the drought will end and they'll
be off to the Fall Classic. The better story, though,
is in the losing locker room, So that is where
we are going to start here. Lots of fingers being
pointed at Vladimir Guerrero Junior. Why because he has not
(04:51):
been getting it the Remember all those big hits he
had against the Yankees in the Divisional round. Appears he's
run out of big hits. He might want to go
buy some. Guerrero's had seven at bats in the American
League Championship Series, and he has as many hits as
you and I.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Have none bumpkis.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So let us discuss question does Vladimir Guerrero Junior deserve
the heat that he's getting from the Blue Jay Backers
for this very anemic start to the American League Championship Series.
So on this one, I've got chef Hat and Apron,
Rocket Fizz and alt Rock and we will combine all
(05:33):
of these things together. We're gonna make the Gabba goool.
We're gonna make the Gabba gool. So number jump the gun. There,
you jump the gun number on.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
All right, So it to answer the question, does Vlatty Guerrero.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Junior deserve the heat he's getting?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I am nodding my head. Yes, I'm nodding my passionate. Yes,
you're watching on the YouTube feed which is delayed. Of course,
I'm nodding my head. Yes, there at Ben Maler show
on YouTube. So this goes with the real estate. I
think we all know that as grown ups, we all
kind of understand that at Vladdie was going to test
the market until he decided not to test the mary
(06:15):
and he would have been heading towards free agency.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But now he's got a fourteen year contract for five
hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's a lot of money. I'm told that's a lot
of money. So I was taught as a little kid
by stan Lee, who taught me from Marvel Comics and
Spider Man that with great power or wealth comes great responsibility.
I learned that from Spider Man. And you get the cash,
you get the scrutiny. It goes hand in hand.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You gotta own it. You gotta own it.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Here and this was, as we mentioned, the Canadian Thanksgiving,
and vlad was celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving by putting on
his chef hat, his apron and serving the entire Greater
metropolitan area around Toronto a nice list slice of butterball turkey.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Is he was? The turkey? Is what he was?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Goose eggs, side of goose eggs for Vladimir Gario Junior.
There of the Blue Jays. How do you have a
guy who was monthstermashing against the New York Yankees and
pounding champagne, playing grab ass with Big Poppy on Fox
there singing.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
The ya Geys lose, the ya Gey's lose.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Going over and over that, and now here we are
fast forward the American League Championship Series and he's playing
like SpongeBob SquarePants. The only one that likes that, by
the way, is FERDG. Nobody else says I want my
star player to play like SpongeBob. But here we are,
so to give you an idea juxtaposed what he was
against the Yankees and what he is now. The Poltergeist
(07:50):
has returned for playoff of Lanny, and the Playoffs are
his nanny.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He batted five.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Twenty nine against the Yankees in his career, and he's
only played a few games against the Yankees, but five
to twenty nine batting average against the Yankees in the playoffs.
Against everyone else, all the other opponents, he's batting one
to oh three in his playoff career against anybody not
wearing the Yankee uniform. So I didn't play major league baseball,
(08:18):
but I gotta tell you I think that's not good.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh you're such a critic. Well are you so critical?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I'm just saying, all right, So you can't be this bat.
You can't be he's worse than Otani to a tonye stinks.
But against everyone else he's been Oh my god, you're
supposed to be the man. You can't be the man
when you're not hitting and the Canadian King of launch
Angle and all that nerd stuff rolling out there, and
(08:47):
his bat. It's interesting. Maybe they switched it out and
nobody told him. When he's playing the Yankees, he's got
like a corked bat, and then against everyone else, his
bat is made of a wet pasta. It's like a
Fetichie and Alfredo noodle that he's swinging up there, fascinating
and he's I know that's allowed. So the Thanksgiving dish
(09:07):
was he had the butterball turkey side of goose eggs,
and then for dessert they had.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Humble pie for Vladimir Guerrero Junior.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
A little humble pie there, wonderful Thanksgiving, Canadian Thanksgiving. And
so this was again the story was he had flipped
the script against the Yankees, and it was all different.
And instead, the only thing that has flipped here against
Seattle is Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Giving the number one.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
So giving the bird the bird is the word, giving
the bird to the good fans there of the Toronto
Blue Jays, and so yeah, the fans have every right
to be upset. You invest the most important thing you
have in your time is in your life, is time
and you invest that watching these games. And it's not
nitpicking to point this out. This is playoff baseball and
(09:54):
he's the star player, he's the forever blue Jay, and
he's not good.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So that's the problem. Now, page two.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So on the Seattle side of things, the winning locker room,
which is not as good a story it is not Now,
I got an email from a listener in Seattle listens
on kJ R to the Ben Mallor Show and was
very upset saying that I should focus more on the
Mariners and less on Toronto. Said that that's a mistake
by me. Again, I'm not wired that way. I am
(10:23):
wired to focus on the losing, not the winning. But
I will give you a moment here on the Seattle Mariners.
So the question, to me, that's most compelling as someone
that sat on my ass and watched this game until
the late innings when I turned it off because the
game was already over. The Blue Jays had decided not
to compete, so I said, I'm out, I'm done. So
(10:46):
the question is, how do you explain how do you
explain the playoff dominance in big moments for Mariner's second Basement.
Jorge Polanco he did it again, the longtime Minnesota twin.
I know that makes hollering James very happy and all
our friends in Minnesota. But this is this is not
some kind of magical fairy dust that he bought on
(11:08):
Timu and is putting on the field.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
This is not that. And we know that momentum.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Despite what John Smolt says, Despite what John Smolt says,
it's not true. It's just lazy sports casting. So that
doesn't exist. And this is the thing that drives the
nerds absolutely crazy, right, they go absolutely nuts. They're algorithms.
The super AI computer program would tell you that Polanco's
(11:40):
not that good and he is hitting just two thirty
one this playoff. Did you know that? Yes, Jorge Polanco,
the star of Stars for the Seattle baseball team, is
batting two thirty one.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
He's a bum. The guy's a bum.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
If you look at the spreadsheets, every single one of
those hits, though, every single one of those hits has
been in absolute stake through the Blue Jay's heart or
the Tigers before that, all three go ahead knocks in
(12:17):
the fifth inning or later for Polanco's we're told, the
first guy in MLB history to do that in a
single postseason and all of them in a row.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong. That is the stuff
legends are made of.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And we always see these second rate players every couple
of years that have a ridiculous postseason performance.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
And this appears to be the year for Polanco.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
And the lesson though, this guy, the way he's playing,
he's going to get a key to the city of Seattle.
Not that you necessarily want that, but the lesson here
October laughs, ha ha ha, your little algorithms, your little
super algorithms, and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
October is about.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Dudes, random dudes who rise up in the Mall right,
all that matters is what you do in the moment, right,
what do you do in the moment? Give me an example,
ter Rang for the Brewers could have been hit by
a pitch, would have tied the game, and he jumped
out of the way. He gets hit by the pitch,
and well, what a gutty hat bat to take that
hit by pitch. But yeah, but Polanco, it's great because
(13:24):
people are losing their minds in the nerd communities. This
is not supposed to happen. We have all the numbers,
we have all the information here. Yeah, it's a it's
small sample sized theater, is what it is, right, and
it's people get upset by that. The people that are
running baseball right now, it's been it's been hijacked. People
(13:45):
have been brainwashed by this. And that is why postseason baseball,
even with all of the shortcomings, and they still try
to over over the influence the outcome of this game
with the algorithms and all that, postseason baseball is a
trip to rocket fit. Is it's candy, It's chaos candy
because the people that are deciding many of these decisions
(14:07):
made prior to the game based on a computer program.
And yet it's classic October baseball. Here we are sitting
here in the NLCS and the ALCS, and a guy
that will never be on a billboard, right, that will
never be starring in a commercial, and is now the
(14:27):
face of Mariner playoff baseball. He's Captain Clutch and he's
still batting two thirty one. Seattle wins this thing. They're
gonna put a mural up in downtown Seattle there for
this guy and Robbie the Mariner fans fat ass is
gonna paint it right. And then this is this series
in the bag for the Mariners at this point.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Now, no, no, no, no, it's not in the bag.
Nothing's in the bag. It's not.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Seattle has a choke hold on it. Right now, you
would have said Toronto had an advantage going into the
games in Toronto. Could this be a verse sweep?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
We didn't.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I think it was the cheating Astros and the Washington Nationals.
Wasn't that series where the road team like won every game.
We see that every once in a while. And remember,
stream outcomes are followed by more moderate outcomes generally speaking,
and so October baseball is where the randomness often outweighs
the predicted value, which is what baseball is run on.
(15:24):
Predicted value, the small sample size. F's that up, all right?
Final point to Sunday Ago. We go shake up in
the dugout, shake up in the dugout. The underachieving baseball
team in Sundayego has said bye bye to their manager.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
We learned that Mike got.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
To make sure I say this, probably Shilt don't want
to say the wrong Mike Shilt. Mike Shilt is out
as Padres manager with two years remaining. Two years remaining
on his contract he's claiming it's a retirement, citing the
quote severe toll close quote the job has taken him.
(16:03):
And he also said quote mentally he said, physically and
emotionally close quote. Okay, So question, are we getting the
whole story on Mike Shilt being out Gonzo as the
skipper in Sun Diego.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So here's what my theory on this is.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And I was sending some messages around to people I
know that are a little closer to the situation than
I am. And what we're doing here is getting a version,
a version of the truth.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
However, it's just a version. It's not the whole truth.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
And it's definitely not nothing but the truth what we're
hearing out of San Diego. And I would say, based
on the malarods, there is about a three percent chance
that this is legit. It's all on the up and up,
and there's not more to the story. Three percent chance
that this is the case. He had two years left
(17:00):
in his contract, and this is a baseball lifer. He's
fifty seven years old, two years left on the contract.
The math ain't mathing on this, Okay, It's just not
we're not getting the full version of events here.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
We're not. I mean that line.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
There was a line in the prepared statement that the
Padres sent out when they announced that Shilt was retiring.
The line was, quote, he said, it's time I take
care of myself, an exit on my terms.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Close quote. You know what. That was dead give away.
That was a tell. That was you know what, Yes,
you're nod in your head. Yes, that's a tell. You
know what. That was Alt Rock spin doctors. That was
the spin doctors.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
It's PR verbiage, PR language from Mike Schilt. The language was, Hey,
we gave this guy a choice, and the choice was
you either walk.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Here's the ultimatum.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
You can either walk and pretend you're retiring, which you're not,
and we'll pay you some money, or we're gonna can
your ass. You're gone and so proud baseball man. Mike Shield,
the Padres former manager, did not suddenly get overwhelmed by
the sound of seagulls in October.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
He did not hear and we don't want to hear about. Well,
that's a tough, tough situation.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That job is not that easy.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
You're not the president of the United States.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
You know, you're not making global life and death decisions.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Here.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
In fact, if you're a baseball lifer, you're living the dream.
You get to live in San Diego Paradise, right, you
live in San Diego and you're Major League baseball managing
is one of the great jobs in the world. It's
you're like you you're like a teacher because you get
all this time off. Now, the time offs in the winter,
not the summertime get a lot of time off. You
(18:56):
don't make the playoffs, you're even if you make the playoffs,
you're out early October and you're off the balance of October, November, December, January.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It's three and a half months now.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Usually spring training starts in February mid February, but a
lot of downtime. And when you're traveling the rigors of
Major League Baseball, you travel in chartered flights, five star hotels.
You're staying at the Ritz Carlton in every town. You've
got private buses, VIP travel per diem. You're eating at
(19:31):
the greatest restaurants, and if you don't want to eat out,
you want to save your money catered spreads in the
clubhouse post game. That is not a job that people
walk away from. It's not the job people walk away from.
Is the job where they're cleaning toilets and they're they're
cleaning other people's crapola. That's a job you walk away
(19:53):
from because you're just burned out on it. Being a
big league manager when you've spent your entire adult life
in baseball is not a job that you walk away from, right,
you know, leave. This just smells like a like a
rotten fish taco is what it smells like here? And
uh yeah, I mean this is a power play. So
my theory, this is a original Mallard conspiracy theory. I
(20:14):
wanna run this by you here. It is Mallard conspiracy
theory power play. You've got Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis
Junior who have forever contracts with the Podres. These guys
are around for like a seven eight years minimum, super egos, giant,
(20:36):
look at me, guys, naval gazing a holes and they
bring the drama. There's more drama. There is more drama
in the Podres clubhouse than a Bravo reality show. Okay,
And so if those guys don't vibe with the manager,
who do you think who do you think is going
his ass? Is grass and they're gonna ride the lawnmower,
(20:57):
the John Deere lawnmower right over. And don't forget aj Preller,
the GM there in San Diego, another of these nerd guys,
aj Preller. This guy treats managers like a tissue, like kleenex.
You know, they're disposable. You blow your nose, you throw
one out, and you get another one if you need it.
It's been a revolving door there in San Diego since
(21:18):
he took over. And Shil wasn't really managing a baseball
team in San Diego. He was babysitting, you know, the
billionaire's toy toy store. The potter and the owner died
a year and a half ago or whatever it was.
And so when the star players will start belly aching
and complaining. There was very embarrassing interview Machado did after
(21:38):
the Padres lost to the Cubs in the playoffs, and
it's just a mess.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
So it's not like they lost a skipper in San Diego.
They lost a therapist who just repeats what the nerds
want with the lineup card. It is the Ben Mallor Show,
