It's our number three, our number three, and we have
a new manager in Major League Baseball? What are your
knee jerk thoughts on Kurt Suzuki, not Albert Puhos, not
Tory Hunter, kurk Suzuki getting the managerial gig in Anaheim. Also,
speaking of the Angels, are they cooked with this? Tyler
(00:24):
Skagg's lawsuit? Mike Trout testified in a courtroom in Santa
ana the multi time MVP, and it did not go
well for the Angels side of the lawsuit. We'll examine that.
I'll put on my lawyer cap, I'll pretend to be
one on the radio, and do you agree with Blake
Snell and the Dodgers decision to go with Blake Snell
(00:46):
and Yamamoto in that order for the World Series as
they will go one to two in Toronto.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
And more right now here. It is our number three.

(02:37):
near you. That's www dot expresspros dot com and our
lead this hour. Don't bear the lead, mom man, we'll
have a new manager in baseball. We had talked about
this story in a previous episode of the show. We
now have a resolution. After deciding they did not want
to hire Albert Pujos or Tory Hunter, despite reports that
(03:00):
host was offered the job, they found a new skipper, Yes,
the new skipper of the Titanic. If you have not
heard now, possibly not drum roll, please here the Halos.
The Haloes have hired Kurt Suzuki. Huh yeah, that's that's
(03:29):
their new manager. Congratulations. Who who Guy played? Guy played
sixteen years in the big leaues not the household name.
He was on the twenty nine Washington Nationals and they had,
you know what, they had, natitude, nattitude, They had it.
They had an attitude career two fifty five hitter. He's
(03:49):
forty two years old and he's been on the Hobo
Express in baseball, bouncing from team to team to team
to team. And here's the key factoy about Kurt Suzuki.
You have managed as many big league games you have
coached professionally in as many games as Kurt Suzuki. They
(04:13):
hired a guy that has no professional coaching experience. So
that's a good jumping off point. Now the Angels are
waxing poetic about how great this hire is. Of course
they are. That's what all these teams do when they
make a hire. You're not pretend like you made a
bad high. You're gonna pretend like you made a good hire.
So let us discuss the question what are your knee
jerk reactions and your knee jerk thoughts on Kurt Suzuki
(04:38):
being the newest manager of the team in Anaheim. So
I've got fish fry, hand grenades, and carport and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
gonna make the gobbagool.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
We're gonna make the gobbagool.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So, first of all, they passed on the eye cuts,
which I'm I'm okay with. We talked about this in
a previous episode the show, and you know, I just
hire that guy because you're like a massot. And instead
of doing that, they went the other direction. They zigged
when we thought they were gonnazag. The Angels have instead
have gone to the hire a friend strategy, hire a
(05:19):
friend strategy. Uh so that's what they've done here. Suzuki
spent the past three years. Didn't even know this because
there's nothing. I mean, how would we know this. We
don't pay attention to assistance of the GM. To be
the last three years he was a special assistant. Not
just an assistant, he was special. He rode the special
buzz uh to Angels, GM, Perrymansian the GM there in Anaheim.
(05:42):
So that is cronyism with a capital C. Is with
that is little cronyism. And another guy that will work cheap.
You can't really demand a lot of money and when
you have no experience, and you can be a sock puppet,
which anyone who got the Angel's job was going to
be a sock puppet. And this guy's got experience. It's
a starter job in Anaheim, as you would expect, you're
(06:04):
not going to get anyone really good, not that there's
many managers that are all that good anyway. And here's
a guy, Kurt Suzuki, who will work cheap and more importantly,
he'll do what he has told is follow the three
ring binder. And it's the Arty Marino special. That's the
Angels owner Arti Marino. He loves to go down to
the local fish fry and grab the catch of the day.
(06:27):
And this is the catch of the day. The Angels
love of the optics. It's all about the optics. When
they hire a new manager, it's like a revival.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You're excited.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
We have a new coach, and this coach is going
to be different than all the other coaches. And who
knows whether Suzuki will be good at this job or not.
I have my doubts because I think most of these
guys are just as you said, puppets. But you could
hire Suzuki. You could bring Tonio Russa in to manage
your team. You could get the ghost of the great
Tommy Lasorda. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter when your
(07:01):
rotation is still put together with Scotch tape and gorilla glue.
It does not matter there. And plus Suzuki, I was
inexperienced as well. There's people that are inexperienced that turn
out to be good.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
That's true. The issue is.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Everyone in that locker room, every single player is going
to know going in this guy's a mole. He is
a mole, and everyone knows it. Now, what does that mean.
He worked in the front office the last three years
as a special assistant. As we said, er go, the
(07:35):
front office has indoctrinated him as a member of their side.
It's front office versus players, and they trained him. He
will nod yes, he will not have said yes, just
like that. And whatever they tell him to do. We
want to bench somebody and move somebody down the lineup,
he will nod. He will do what they want him
to do, they want him to do, and so not
(07:56):
really the definition of a manager that actually makes any
decisions here, this is again a sock puppet with the
halo wrapped around it.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
There.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
That's it, just to hand out the pre written lineup
card and just whatever the analytics department wants, just do that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Boom, there you go. Now.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Secondly, a very odd story from a courtroom. Now, some
of you know, back in my younger days, before I
got into talk radio, I was a radio stringer, a
job that no longer exists, and I spent a lot
of time covering the Angels and the Dodgers, the local
LA teams, and I happen to know just about all
(08:33):
of the key players in this lawsuit. That's going on
between the family of the dead former Angel pitcher and
the Angels organization.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So it's very I've been following this. I know you
might not care about it. Who goes, I don't care,
but it's interesting to me.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And since I have the editorial control over what I
talk about, I thought I would talk about this. The
story here the headline is a courthouse in Anaheim, actually
San Ana, just down the road from the Big A
there in San Ana. Angels outfielder Mike Trout, multi time
MVP Mike Trout, future Hall of Famer, testified that a
team employee, a team employee alerted him to the possible
(09:15):
concerns that former communications director Eric Kay was on the drugs.
This was before the twenty nineteen incident. He this trial
is about the death of Angel pitcher Tyler Skaggs, who
overdosed on drugs at a hotel room in the Arlington,
Texas area. The Angels ready to play the Rangers, and
(09:38):
that was all all for him.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Trout said he confronted Eric Kay, who's in court or
actually in jail for like the rest of his life
by the time he gets out of thousand years old
or whatever. So anyway, Trout confronted Kay directly telling him,
according to Trout's testimony, you I have two boys at home.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You have to get this right now.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
The Skags family, Tyler Skaggs, the Skags family is suing
the Angels for wrongful death.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Now what do you think they want? You think they
want like five million dollars? Ten million? What is that worth? More? Okay? Higher? Okay?
They want one hundred and eighteen million dollars. All right.
So I don't know how they came up with that
one hundred and eighteen million. I haven't paid that close
attention to it, I guess.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But they are asserting that the Angels are responsible for
Tyler Scaggs being a drug addict and doing drugs at
a hotel room in Arlington. And they're acclaiming the team
violated their own rules by allowing Eric Kay, who also
had a drug addiction, to remain on staff despite the
dangers posed by his drug abuse. Okay, so the two
(10:52):
other team officials here, I know both these guys communications
vps no longer with the team. But Tim Mead one
of the coolest people I've ever met. I loved to
meet a good dude. And the traveling Secretary Tom Taylor
of the Angels, and they both testified earlier that they
were unaware of Eric Kaye's drug problem or had only
(11:16):
indications that they were. There were it was to some
kind of problem, but it was with prescription drugs and
it wasn't as bad as as what happened. So the
question for the esteem panel are the Angels cooked in
this Tyler Skagg's lawsuit because of Mike Trout and the
(11:39):
testimony that he gave that contradicted the other testimony from
the two main players in this that said, well we
didn't really know. And again at Trout for those of
you will relate to the party, Mike Trout said that
he had concerns and I mean, is that gonna hurt them? Well, like,
just looking at that, and I'm not a law I
(12:00):
can play one on the radio. Put my lawyer hat on.
As Clay Travis used to say. The jury is gonna
look at the Angel's front office. They're gonna Mike Trout's
a star. They're gonna look at the Angels front office
and say, well, so you guys were just what were
you watching Jeopardy.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Or something like that. Well, this was going on so
it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
A good optic. We know that it's obviously not a
good optic. It and this isn't some back alley rumor.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Or something along those lines.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
This is under oath testimony from Mike Trout saying that
he was he was told about this information. He confronted
the person that ended up doing drugs with the pitcher
and all that, and so it is damning now. Regardless
of that, though, I have an unpopular opinion, and it's
an awkward opinion because again, I know some of these
(12:47):
guys that are involved casually through my time in the media.
But this is the part that gets gets complicated, right,
because the unpopular opinion is I don't want to sound
too cold. However, I do believe in personal responsibility. I
think that matters here, and I just can't wrap my
(13:11):
head around like you're gonna blame the Angels organization, like
one hundred and eighteen million. The guy's dead, but one
hundred eighteen million will make you feel good. You'll be
okay with that, and it's something we all have choices
to make him up. Skaggs is not a kid. He
was twenty seven years old when he met his demise
and he made the decision. He wasn't handcuffed and they
(13:33):
didn't shove the pills or whatever. He was taken down
solat he chose to take that. And yeah, eric Kay,
according to all the story, he got convicted of this.
You know, he was the hookup, he was the drug mule,
but he also did the drugs. And here's the other
(13:54):
If it wasn't eric Kay, it would have been some
some skags like drugs. He enjoyed drugs and he would
go out and find drugs and all that. And so
to me, that's the defense. You know, is that going
to work?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
In card?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
The defense is, well, yeah, eric A hooked him up,
but the guy's a drug addict and he went and
got drugs, and he would have gotten drugs somewhere else.
And so that's the card to play. Now, whether that's
gonna work, that's up to the people involved in making decision.
But that's why I don't think the angels are automatically
cooked on this.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
There are people that do believe in personal responsibility, and
there are people that think, well, yeah, it sucks this
guy died. It's terrible. He made decisions that led to
his own demise. And you know a lot of people
love drugs, they mess around with them all the time,
but they're they're also taking a risk every single time.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And it's an adult man.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Who made some poor choices, and unfortunately there's a tragic
ending to the story. It's horrible, but one hundred and
eighteen million from the Angels, and they're responsible because you know,
this guy also had a drug problem and all that.
I come on, So, yeah, the optics are bad. They're
not good legally, though, I do think they've got a shot.
(15:07):
So I just I think they've got a shot. And
Artie Marino is juggling live hand grenades. We had talked
about this in a previous episode of the show during
a mallard to the third degree, and we had pointed
out that, yeah, I think the Angels have a good case. However,
the prudent thing. Any lawyer will tell you that, hey,
(15:28):
you should not juggle hand grenades while you're standing on
the edge of Dante's inferno. The prudent move would have
been to settle. And even though I believe they have
a good case and they have a chance to win this,
it is much cheaper, whatever the price tag was, than
having to pay the full amount, and it's much cleaner
(15:48):
than the circus of it's too late. Now you've already
had Mike Trout testify me like, so, I guess you
got to go all the way to the finish line here.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
There's really nothing else to do. The horse has left
the barn. You wanted to avoid that, he didn't avoid that.
So now the big top is up and we're.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Off to the races, all right now? Final thought to
the World Series Baseball dark this week. The World Series
will begin in a couple of days. Got to get
through today and Thursday and then on Friday. The Dawyers
have announced their rotation to start the World Series against
the Toronto Blue Jays, the Dodgers. Dave Roberts, Yeah, right,
(16:27):
like he made this decision. Does anyone think Dave Roberts
made this decision?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Played?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
This was a group decision.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
So the Dodgers announced they have named their starting pitchers
for Games one and two in Toronto.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Blake Snell.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Bro I'm risking my life, Raw, I hope he doesn't
die on the mound. Blake snow he's risking his left
and Bro, I am playing. Let's say get on Dodger's
got to make sure that check.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Cash is for Blake Snell.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So Blake Snell will start the series opener, Yoshinobu Yama
Moto will start game two again the Blue Jays. So
the question do you agree with the decision to go
with Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto as one two in
that order in the World Series. So this is an
NB situation, a no brainer. Even Hank in Tokyo knows
(17:18):
this is it's a no brainer. It's not a big
time decision. It's not you know. And some people say, well,
that's an interesting decision they decided to go that way.
Don't sell me that it was some kind of drama.
There's no dramas. This is not a Sophie's choice where
you're damned if you're doing, you're damned if you don't
(17:39):
and all that. That's an embarrassment of riches the Dodgers
have right now. And I don't like the player Blake Snell.
The guys pitched very well for the Dodgers's been great,
and it's like you go down to the carport the
Dodgers deciding who's going to pitch Games one and two
the World Series. It's like going down to the carport
and you'll open the thing up and you've got you've
got two Ferrari's. You've got a Dodger blue Ferrari in
(18:01):
a gray Ferrari, which one the same exact card that
paints a little different, and you just have to pick
which one you want to take the lap around the block?
Which one of my am I gonna take the blue
or the gray? Which one am I going to take?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
There? And that's all.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
This is Blake Snell's era. I think it's lower than
the Blue Jay ticket prices for half the summer. It's
insane and it's not risky, it's not it's a textbook
move by the Doyers and it's not strategy. Again, there's
no controversy on this kind of thing. There's no second guess.
Now Snell could go out there and pitch a crapping game,
could go out there and poop all over the mound
(18:36):
in Toronto, and that's that's possibility.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
That's that's the decision. That's fine. I'm fine with the decision.
Now he's got to perform. All that matters is how
you do in the moment. That's all. That matters. It
is the Ben mather Show.

Speaker 9 (25:44):
Do you think of like Bourbon Street chicken and strimp?
You don't think of the chicken pasta.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It's what it's a chicken dish.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
But it's not. It's it's like honey tender chicken thingies chicken.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
On to what's wrong with macaroni cheese?
Speaker 11 (26:01):
I tend to like it?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
What is wrong with macaroni and cheese is great? It's
not an everyday meal.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
It's once.
Speaker 11 (26:09):
Is okay.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I know it's not that good that you gotta get
real mac and cheese with real cheese.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
What see?

Well, you are in New York.
Speaker 2 (26:22):

father in law.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
I know you know, you know what she said when
he went to Fire Island.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
He's the daddy.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Tell you how would I know that?
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Well, it's a little inappropriate, I may say it.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Is it radio worthy?
Speaker 5 (27:26):

Speaker 11 (27:27):
They said, Well, to tell you the truth, she said
that they were touching him and Fire Island you know
what they were touching?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Okay, all right, thank you quickly.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Dave in Houston and we'll get to the game. Hello Dave,
my guide, Dave.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
What's up Dave?
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Hello, man, Congratulations on your Dodgers getting to the World Series.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I appreciate that. As you know, I hit a couple
of home runs in the playoffs. I started in the
Philadelphia Phillies series, so I feel like I do deserve
those congratulations.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
You know, I did congratulate the Dodgers last year when
they bought up all the best players in baseball. I
congratulated him for ruining major League baseball. And I think
your coach there, he trolled me the other day because
he said he looked forward to ruining major League Baseball. Yeah,
(28:27):
I've been trolled by your manager.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
How does that feel?
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Well, that's great. I have a dream about the World
Series Game seven. The Dodgers are leading in the ninth
inning and George Springer comes to the plate and he
hits a go ahead home run.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
You have a dream. You didn't tell that story, right?
Can I clean up your work a little bit?
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Oh? I think you're gonna I know you're looking forward
to the booze.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
No no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Well Game seven will be in Toronto, so there won't
be any booze. They love cheaters in Toronto. They support them.
So the move would be it's the ninth inning, there's
two runners on, Dodgers have a two run lead, and
Springers at the bat, and they bring in Suzuki out
of the bullpen, and then here's what happens, all right,
first pitcher strike, the second pitcher strike, the third.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Pitch, bang bang, home run for the Blue Jes.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
It's good to know you're.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Not I'm not a hitter. I'm just a realist.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I know that Springer is a fraud and should be
banned from baseball for life. And the fact that he's
playing in this World Series. It's a testimonial to the
incompetent leadership of Rob Manford.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
By the way, I have good news, man. I fly
out every week to try to make a date with
Lareena and she always she always calls security. Today today
I brought her flowers and she just sent me with
a little bit of pepper spray, so she's weakening season.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yes, she knows that you love pepper, and she thought
what better way to give a man pepper than spray
right in their face. Yes, all right, thank you, Dave.
I always love your calls. Call more often there's a
formerly transgender Dave.

That can be, you know, it depends on how you
like to hunt. People find you sometimes you find them.
Depends on what works for you. If you're more adventurous,
I would go outside, go see what you can find
out in these streets. Check out different areas like beaches
and museums and bars. Find out you know where different
people hide at different types. You have time, right, you
(38:27):
were with one person for sixteen years. You should go
and play the field a bit, go see what you like,
Taste the different flavors.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
You like that answer, Laarn He wanted to hear that
he actually wants to play the field. He wants them
lined up around the block. Yes, absolutely, all right, Well
good luck, Alexandro. Yes, on the dating, you'll find somebody.
Let's see what do we have your any MENI moneymore?
Annie and Lina Lakes, Minnesota says I was trying to
get romantic with my girlfriend the other night. We were
spooning for quite a while and I told her I'd
(38:55):
rather fork. She told me to get get away from her.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Basically, Yeah, you know, we're.
Speaker 8 (39:01):

doing anything to get us in the mood, wow, help.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Ere So I mean blaming the man be BP writes,
And should I be looking for a soulmate or a playmate?
Speaker 1 (39:13):
That's from BP?
Speaker 9 (39:14):
Yeah, depends what you want.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
I think you want.
Speaker 9 (39:17):
If you're a big kid, you just want some toys
to play with.
Speaker 8 (39:20):
If you know, maybe you want that person who's going
to hold you down when you know that you're going
to be soon.
Speaker 9 (39:27):
So it depends what you need.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Mike writes In says, what's the most impressive from the
man for the man to impress his lady on the
first date? Taco Bell tortillas, Applebee's chicken or Outback Steakhouse,
steak and fries. Which one would impress you the most.
Lartis is from Mike the Leprechaunt.
Speaker 8 (39:49):
You know, every woman likes her meat. I would always
go for the steakhouse first. But if you are on
a budget and you want to see if she actually
likes you, take her to Taco Bell first and you
can see if her digestive system can handle one of
your probably favorite foods, which is a big deal.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
All Firgduck says how much porn do women watch? I
don't know, a lot, a lot.
Speaker 9 (40:06):
Really, Oh my gosh, I'm shocked how much of my
female friends watch porn.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
It is crazy, right.
Speaker 8 (40:11):
You ask your when you're on a date sometime, be like,
hey do you watch it? And they'll be like, yeah,
do you want to watch it together? And you'd be
shocked how many people say yes?
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Is that right? You learn something new? All right? Well,
those websites are the most popular. Yeah, they are
Boom, Shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three, our number three, and we have
a new manager in Major League Baseball? What are your
knee jerk thoughts on Kurt Suzuki, not Albert Puhos, not
Tory Hunter, kurk Suzuki getting the managerial gig in Anaheim. Also,
speaking of the Angels, are they cooked with this? Tyler
(00:24):
Skagg's lawsuit? Mike Trout testified in a courtroom in Santa
ana the multi time MVP, and it did not go
well for the Angels side of the lawsuit. We'll examine that.
I'll put on my lawyer cap, I'll pretend to be
one on the radio, and do you agree with Blake
Snell and the Dodgers decision to go with Blake Snell
(00:46):
and Yamamoto in that order for the World Series as
they will go one to two in Toronto.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
And more right now here. It is our number three.

With Express you'll have a local connection to the job market.
Get started at Expresspros dot com and find a location
(02:37):
near you. That's www dot expresspros dot com and our
lead this hour. Don't bear the lead, mom man, we'll
have a new manager in baseball. We had talked about
this story in a previous episode of the show. We
now have a resolution. After deciding they did not want
to hire Albert Pujos or Tory Hunter, despite reports that
(03:00):
host was offered the job, they found a new skipper, Yes,
the new skipper of the Titanic. If you have not
heard now, possibly not drum roll, please here the Halos.
The Haloes have hired Kurt Suzuki. Huh yeah, that's that's
(03:29):
their new manager. Congratulations. Who who Guy played? Guy played
sixteen years in the big leaues not the household name.
He was on the twenty nine Washington Nationals and they had,
you know what, they had, natitude, nattitude, They had it.
They had an attitude career two fifty five hitter. He's
(03:49):
forty two years old and he's been on the Hobo
Express in baseball, bouncing from team to team to team
to team. And here's the key factoy about Kurt Suzuki.
You have managed as many big league games you have
coached professionally in as many games as Kurt Suzuki. They
(04:13):
hired a guy that has no professional coaching experience. So
that's a good jumping off point. Now the Angels are
waxing poetic about how great this hire is. Of course
they are. That's what all these teams do when they
make a hire. You're not pretend like you made a
bad high. You're gonna pretend like you made a good hire.
So let us discuss the question what are your knee
jerk reactions and your knee jerk thoughts on Kurt Suzuki
(04:38):
being the newest manager of the team in Anaheim. So
I've got fish fry, hand grenades, and carport and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
gonna make the gobbagool.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
We're gonna make the gobbagool.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So, first of all, they passed on the eye cuts,
which I'm I'm okay with. We talked about this in
a previous episode the show, and you know, I just
hire that guy because you're like a massot. And instead
of doing that, they went the other direction. They zigged
when we thought they were gonnazag. The Angels have instead
have gone to the hire a friend strategy, hire a
(05:19):
friend strategy. Uh so that's what they've done here. Suzuki
spent the past three years. Didn't even know this because
there's nothing. I mean, how would we know this. We
don't pay attention to assistance of the GM. To be
the last three years he was a special assistant. Not
just an assistant, he was special. He rode the special
buzz uh to Angels, GM, Perrymansian the GM there in Anaheim.
(05:42):
So that is cronyism with a capital C. Is with
that is little cronyism. And another guy that will work cheap.
You can't really demand a lot of money and when
you have no experience, and you can be a sock puppet,
which anyone who got the Angel's job was going to
be a sock puppet. And this guy's got experience. It's
a starter job in Anaheim, as you would expect, you're
(06:04):
not going to get anyone really good, not that there's
many managers that are all that good anyway. And here's
a guy, Kurt Suzuki, who will work cheap and more importantly,
he'll do what he has told is follow the three
ring binder. And it's the Arty Marino special. That's the
Angels owner Arti Marino. He loves to go down to
the local fish fry and grab the catch of the day.
(06:27):
And this is the catch of the day. The Angels
love of the optics. It's all about the optics. When
they hire a new manager, it's like a revival.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You're excited.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
We have a new coach, and this coach is going
to be different than all the other coaches. And who
knows whether Suzuki will be good at this job or not.
I have my doubts because I think most of these
guys are just as you said, puppets. But you could
hire Suzuki. You could bring Tonio Russa in to manage
your team. You could get the ghost of the great
Tommy Lasorda. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter when your
(07:01):
rotation is still put together with Scotch tape and gorilla glue.
It does not matter there. And plus Suzuki, I was
inexperienced as well. There's people that are inexperienced that turn
out to be good.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
That's true. The issue is.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Everyone in that locker room, every single player is going
to know going in this guy's a mole. He is
a mole, and everyone knows it. Now, what does that mean.
He worked in the front office the last three years
as a special assistant. As we said, er go, the
(07:35):
front office has indoctrinated him as a member of their side.
It's front office versus players, and they trained him. He
will nod yes, he will not have said yes, just
like that. And whatever they tell him to do. We
want to bench somebody and move somebody down the lineup,
he will nod. He will do what they want him
to do, they want him to do, and so not
(07:56):
really the definition of a manager that actually makes any
decisions here, this is again a sock puppet with the
halo wrapped around it.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
There.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
That's it, just to hand out the pre written lineup
card and just whatever the analytics department wants, just do that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Boom, there you go. Now.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Secondly, a very odd story from a courtroom. Now, some
of you know, back in my younger days, before I
got into talk radio, I was a radio stringer, a
job that no longer exists, and I spent a lot
of time covering the Angels and the Dodgers, the local
LA teams, and I happen to know just about all
(08:33):
of the key players in this lawsuit. That's going on
between the family of the dead former Angel pitcher and
the Angels organization.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So it's very I've been following this. I know you
might not care about it. Who goes, I don't care,
but it's interesting to me.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And since I have the editorial control over what I
talk about, I thought I would talk about this. The
story here the headline is a courthouse in Anaheim, actually
San Ana, just down the road from the Big A
there in San Ana. Angels outfielder Mike Trout, multi time
MVP Mike Trout, future Hall of Famer, testified that a
team employee, a team employee alerted him to the possible
(09:15):
concerns that former communications director Eric Kay was on the drugs.
This was before the twenty nineteen incident. He this trial
is about the death of Angel pitcher Tyler Skaggs, who
overdosed on drugs at a hotel room in the Arlington,
Texas area. The Angels ready to play the Rangers, and
(09:38):
that was all all for him.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Trout said he confronted Eric Kay, who's in court or
actually in jail for like the rest of his life
by the time he gets out of thousand years old
or whatever. So anyway, Trout confronted Kay directly telling him,
according to Trout's testimony, you I have two boys at home.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You have to get this right now.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
The Skags family, Tyler Skaggs, the Skags family is suing
the Angels for wrongful death.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Now what do you think they want? You think they
want like five million dollars? Ten million? What is that worth? More? Okay? Higher? Okay?
They want one hundred and eighteen million dollars. All right.
So I don't know how they came up with that
one hundred and eighteen million. I haven't paid that close
attention to it, I guess.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But they are asserting that the Angels are responsible for
Tyler Scaggs being a drug addict and doing drugs at
a hotel room in Arlington. And they're acclaiming the team
violated their own rules by allowing Eric Kay, who also
had a drug addiction, to remain on staff despite the
dangers posed by his drug abuse. Okay, so the two
(10:52):
other team officials here, I know both these guys communications
vps no longer with the team. But Tim Mead one
of the coolest people I've ever met. I loved to
meet a good dude. And the traveling Secretary Tom Taylor
of the Angels, and they both testified earlier that they
were unaware of Eric Kaye's drug problem or had only
(11:16):
indications that they were. There were it was to some
kind of problem, but it was with prescription drugs and
it wasn't as bad as as what happened. So the
question for the esteem panel are the Angels cooked in
this Tyler Skagg's lawsuit because of Mike Trout and the
(11:39):
testimony that he gave that contradicted the other testimony from
the two main players in this that said, well we
didn't really know. And again at Trout for those of
you will relate to the party, Mike Trout said that
he had concerns and I mean, is that gonna hurt them? Well, like,
just looking at that, and I'm not a law I
(12:00):
can play one on the radio. Put my lawyer hat on.
As Clay Travis used to say. The jury is gonna
look at the Angel's front office. They're gonna Mike Trout's
a star. They're gonna look at the Angels front office
and say, well, so you guys were just what were
you watching Jeopardy.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Or something like that. Well, this was going on so
it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
A good optic. We know that it's obviously not a
good optic. It and this isn't some back alley rumor.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Or something along those lines.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
This is under oath testimony from Mike Trout saying that
he was he was told about this information. He confronted
the person that ended up doing drugs with the pitcher
and all that, and so it is damning now. Regardless
of that, though, I have an unpopular opinion, and it's
an awkward opinion because again, I know some of these
(12:47):
guys that are involved casually through my time in the media.
But this is the part that gets gets complicated, right,
because the unpopular opinion is I don't want to sound
too cold. However, I do believe in personal responsibility. I
think that matters here, and I just can't wrap my
(13:11):
head around like you're gonna blame the Angels organization, like
one hundred and eighteen million. The guy's dead, but one
hundred eighteen million will make you feel good. You'll be
okay with that, and it's something we all have choices
to make him up. Skaggs is not a kid. He
was twenty seven years old when he met his demise
and he made the decision. He wasn't handcuffed and they
(13:33):
didn't shove the pills or whatever. He was taken down
solat he chose to take that. And yeah, eric Kay,
according to all the story, he got convicted of this.
You know, he was the hookup, he was the drug mule,
but he also did the drugs. And here's the other
(13:54):
If it wasn't eric Kay, it would have been some
some skags like drugs. He enjoyed drugs and he would
go out and find drugs and all that. And so
to me, that's the defense. You know, is that going
to work?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
In card?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
The defense is, well, yeah, eric A hooked him up,
but the guy's a drug addict and he went and
got drugs, and he would have gotten drugs somewhere else.
And so that's the card to play. Now, whether that's
gonna work, that's up to the people involved in making decision.
But that's why I don't think the angels are automatically
cooked on this.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
There are people that do believe in personal responsibility, and
there are people that think, well, yeah, it sucks this
guy died. It's terrible. He made decisions that led to
his own demise. And you know a lot of people
love drugs, they mess around with them all the time,
but they're they're also taking a risk every single time.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And it's an adult man.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Who made some poor choices, and unfortunately there's a tragic
ending to the story. It's horrible, but one hundred and
eighteen million from the Angels, and they're responsible because you know,
this guy also had a drug problem and all that.
I come on, So, yeah, the optics are bad. They're
not good legally, though, I do think they've got a shot.
(15:07):
So I just I think they've got a shot. And
Artie Marino is juggling live hand grenades. We had talked
about this in a previous episode of the show during
a mallard to the third degree, and we had pointed
out that, yeah, I think the Angels have a good case. However,
the prudent thing. Any lawyer will tell you that, hey,
(15:28):
you should not juggle hand grenades while you're standing on
the edge of Dante's inferno. The prudent move would have
been to settle. And even though I believe they have
a good case and they have a chance to win this,
it is much cheaper, whatever the price tag was, than
having to pay the full amount, and it's much cleaner
(15:48):
than the circus of it's too late. Now you've already
had Mike Trout testify me like, so, I guess you
got to go all the way to the finish line here.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
There's really nothing else to do. The horse has left
the barn. You wanted to avoid that, he didn't avoid that.
So now the big top is up and we're.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Off to the races, all right now? Final thought to
the World Series Baseball dark this week. The World Series
will begin in a couple of days. Got to get
through today and Thursday and then on Friday. The Dawyers
have announced their rotation to start the World Series against
the Toronto Blue Jays, the Dodgers. Dave Roberts, Yeah, right,
(16:27):
like he made this decision. Does anyone think Dave Roberts
made this decision?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Played?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
This was a group decision.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
So the Dodgers announced they have named their starting pitchers
for Games one and two in Toronto.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Blake Snell.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Bro I'm risking my life, Raw, I hope he doesn't
die on the mound. Blake snow he's risking his left
and Bro, I am playing. Let's say get on Dodger's
got to make sure that check.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Cash is for Blake Snell.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So Blake Snell will start the series opener, Yoshinobu Yama
Moto will start game two again the Blue Jays. So
the question do you agree with the decision to go
with Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto as one two in
that order in the World Series. So this is an
NB situation, a no brainer. Even Hank in Tokyo knows
(17:18):
this is it's a no brainer. It's not a big
time decision. It's not you know. And some people say, well,
that's an interesting decision they decided to go that way.
Don't sell me that it was some kind of drama.
There's no dramas. This is not a Sophie's choice where
you're damned if you're doing, you're damned if you don't
(17:39):
and all that. That's an embarrassment of riches the Dodgers
have right now. And I don't like the player Blake Snell.
The guys pitched very well for the Dodgers's been great,
and it's like you go down to the carport the
Dodgers deciding who's going to pitch Games one and two
the World Series. It's like going down to the carport
and you'll open the thing up and you've got you've
got two Ferrari's. You've got a Dodger blue Ferrari in
(18:01):
a gray Ferrari, which one the same exact card that
paints a little different, and you just have to pick
which one you want to take the lap around the block?
Which one of my am I gonna take the blue
or the gray? Which one am I going to take?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
There? And that's all.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
This is Blake Snell's era. I think it's lower than
the Blue Jay ticket prices for half the summer. It's
insane and it's not risky, it's not it's a textbook
move by the Doyers and it's not strategy. Again, there's
no controversy on this kind of thing. There's no second guess.
Now Snell could go out there and pitch a crapping game,
could go out there and poop all over the mound
(18:36):
in Toronto, and that's that's possibility.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
That's that's the decision. That's fine. I'm fine with the decision.
Now he's got to perform. All that matters is how
you do in the moment. That's all. That matters. It
is the Ben mather Show.

Bobby g is such a good he could be your
father in law.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
I know you know, you know what she said when
he went to Fire Island.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
He's the daddy.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Tell you how would I know that?
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Well, it's a little inappropriate, I may say it.
Speaker 1 (27:23):

what they were touching?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Okay, all right, thank you quickly.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Dave in Houston and we'll get to the game. Hello Dave,
my guide, Dave.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
What's up Dave?
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Hello, man, Congratulations on your Dodgers getting to the World Series.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I appreciate that. As you know, I hit a couple
of home runs in the playoffs. I started in the
Philadelphia Phillies series, so I feel like I do deserve
those congratulations.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
You know, I did congratulate the Dodgers last year when
they bought up all the best players in baseball. I
congratulated him for ruining major League baseball. And I think
your coach there, he trolled me the other day because
he said he looked forward to ruining major League Baseball. Yeah,
(28:27):
I've been trolled by your manager.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
How does that feel?
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Well, that's great. I have a dream about the World
Series Game seven. The Dodgers are leading in the ninth
inning and George Springer comes to the plate and he
hits a go ahead home run.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
You have a dream. You didn't tell that story, right?
Can I clean up your work a little bit?
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Oh? I think you're gonna I know you're looking forward
to the booze.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
No no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Well Game seven will be in Toronto, so there won't
be any booze. They love cheaters in Toronto. They support them.
So the move would be it's the ninth inning, there's
two runners on, Dodgers have a two run lead, and
Springers at the bat, and they bring in Suzuki out
of the bullpen, and then here's what happens, all right,
first pitcher strike, the second pitcher strike, the third.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Pitch, bang bang, home run for the Blue Jes.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
It's good to know you're.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Not I'm not a hitter. I'm just a realist.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I know that Springer is a fraud and should be
banned from baseball for life. And the fact that he's
playing in this World Series. It's a testimonial to the
incompetent leadership of Rob Manford.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
By the way, I have good news, man. I fly
out every week to try to make a date with
Lareena and she always she always calls security. Today today
I brought her flowers and she just sent me with
a little bit of pepper spray, so she's weakening season.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yes, she knows that you love pepper, and she thought
what better way to give a man pepper than spray
right in their face. Yes, all right, thank you, Dave.
I always love your calls. Call more often there's a
formerly transgender Dave.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
I don't know any more, Pepper Spray.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Let's get to the game. What do you say? Game time?

Yeah, we don't.
Speaker 12 (30:47):
We're not a big fan of domestic abuse. Well I
did say the mestic abuse where you don't have that's
a great idea. Let's let's play the game right now. Okay,
hold on, Sie, all right? You ready to go here?
Having a little squabble family drama.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
There, and yes, I'm ready to go, okay. Question number one.

Shaye jogis Alexander, better known by his gangster name SGA.
Proud Canadian lad has now scored at least twenty five
points in thirty consecutive home games in the regular season
for Okase, Is that too.
Speaker 1 (31:20):

Speaker 2 (31:31):

Depends on what works for you. If you're more adventurous,
I would go outside, go see what you can find
out in these streets. Check out different areas like beaches
and museums and bars. Find out you know where different
people hide at different types. You have time, right, you
(38:27):
were with one person for sixteen years. You should go

man for the man to impress his lady on the
first date? Taco Bell tortillas, Applebee's chicken or Outback Steakhouse,
steak and fries. Which one would impress you the most.
Lartis is from Mike the Leprechaunt.
Speaker 8 (39:49):
You know, every woman likes her meat. I would always
go for the steakhouse first. But if you are on
a budget and you want to see if she actually
likes you, take her to Taco Bell first and you
can see if her digestive system can handle one of
your probably favorite foods, which is a big deal.

shocked how many people say yes?
