20
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: the weekend, a big fan of the show, and he's upset.

21
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: He wants us to talk about Snooker, and if we

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,520

Speaker 1: of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible in

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,920

Speaker 1: like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot com away tire

29
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: buying show be so our lead this hour, play the

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: hits mom Man, we'll go to football. I want to

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: think everyone that showed up. We had a great turnout

32
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: in Vegas over the weekend thanks to everyone that was there.

33
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: Was awesome and had a lot of fun. Ended up

34
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: staying a lot longer than we had scheduled. We say

35
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: we'll only be there for a couple hours. We got

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: to stand for like another hour and a half or

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: something like that, but close the place down. So it

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. But our lead this hour.

39
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: We'll get more on that later. We'll go to Dallas, well,

40
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: Dallas adjacent and another weekend filled with the drama. O rama,

41
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: that's what they do. They down't do football, they do

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: drama in the heart of Texas. So I thought this

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: was a compelling story because it's continued throughout the weekend.

44
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: It didn't end, It didn't end over the weekend. It's

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: continued through the weekend. So if you haven't heard about

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: the details on this, maybe not the coach and I

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: say that loosely. The coach, Brian Schottenheimer, as has said,

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: and he said this over the weekend, he was gonna

49
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: have a pow wow with Micah Parsons. This is supposed

50
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: to take place on Sunday. We do not know how

51
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: that went. We don't know if it even happened, but

52
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: it was scheduled to happen. Now, the reason that par

53
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: Parsons is being called out here is because he made

54
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of headlines over the weekend the final exhibition

55
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: football game for some tawdry behavior, some naughty behavior by

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons there in the final preseason game. So without

57
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: this is a quote from Shottenhimer, Brian shot and racy.

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: Without talking to Micah, I need to figure out what

59
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: he was doing. What he was doing, said the coach

60
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: in name only, Michael Parson's boss. Wink wink, nod nod.

61
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer says, So until I talked to him, I'm

62
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: obviously not going to talk about it close quote, and

63
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: that meeting was supposed to take place on today. So

64
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. How

65
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: do you read Michah Parsons and his activity during the

66
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys final exhibition game which took place near the end

67
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: of last week. So I've got Garfield, All State and

68
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: eight ball, and we will combine all of these things

69
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some kettle corn,

70
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna make. That's that's an upgrade from

71
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: just regular popcorn because it's got the sugar on, it's carmel.

72
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: It's an upgrade. So A Micah Parsons spoke volumes, volumes

73
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: in volumes at the Cowboys preseason game, the last one

74
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: that they played there. And the great thing about this

75
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,119
Speaker 1: he did not have to say anything. Not a single

76
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: word was said by Michaeh Parsons that would lead you

77
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: to lead in one way or another. It was just

78
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: Michah Parsons coming up. Body language. We talk about body language,

79
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: the mannerisms, the gyrations by Michaeh Parsons, whatever you want

80
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: to call it. You know, any of those things, all

81
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: those things together you can make them all together. That's

82
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: why the guy was eating nachos, delicious stadium nachos in

83
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: the hallways underneath the stadium there where the Cowboys were playing,

84
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: like he was at the Texas State Fair. So can

85
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: I get some nachos in a corn dog?

86
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: Uh?

87
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, why not? And then the famous viral photo

88
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: of Micah Parsons laying on the trainer's table like he

89
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: had just had his achilles pop and he was laying

90
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: down there while the Cowboys were on the offensive there

91
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: and doing the call me gesture to Falcon fans.

92
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

93
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: That was when Falcon fans said, hey, why don't you

94
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: come play for the Atlanta Falcons And he did the

95
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: old he call me? You know, we called yeah, okay,

96
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: no problem. Uh. So that's not a great look. It's

97
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: not the end of the world. I mean, it's it's

98
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: ridiculous that we're here, but we are here having this conversation.

99
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: So you've got Micah Parsons having a bit of a

100
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: conniption fit in real time, in real time during the

101
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: last Cowboy exhibition game. And even without playing, he didn't play,

102
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: didn't playing the game there, and Parsons knew going into

103
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: that situation. He was going to be in Center Square.

104
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: He knew it right, and he was a full on thespian.

105
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons putting on a performance, and what was the message?

106
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: Who was he channeling? What character was Michael parton? So

107
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm going with Garfield the cat. Now Parsons was acting

108
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: like a fat cat. Now instead of lasagna, he likes nachos.

109
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: Mike a good stadium nachos, he likes that.

110
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 4: Now.

111
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the thing that is great about this story on

112
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: so many levels is there's this false belief that Michael

113
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: Parsons doesn't have a contract and that he's all up

114
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: in arms because he's not getting paid and he needs

115
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: to make some real money, and it's just it's just

116
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: a great injustice what is going on to Michael Parsons.

117
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: And then you take a couple of steps back and you're like, well,

118
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: wait a minute, he is under contract and the Cowboys

119
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: are paying him twenty four million dead Presidents this season

120
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: twenty four two four, and then an m for million

121
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: right after that. That is more than most of the

122
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: state lotteries in America today if you go state by state,

123
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: and there are some that are bigger, but for the

124
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: most part that each state lottery is less than Michael

125
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: Parsons is going to get to play for the Cowboys

126
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: this season. And he's moping around boooo oh my god,

127
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe man alive. And so despite all that money,

128
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's enjoying the camaraderie with the fans and

129
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: the nachos and all that stuff. And he knows exactly

130
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: what he's doing to it's obvious. I mean, all this

131
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: stuff has played out for the cameras and he's trolling

132
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. He's upset. Oh this is not right. I'm

133
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 1: gonna lay into it. He's basically just saying, hey, Jerry,

134
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: you want me engaged. Jerry, you want me engaged with

135
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys? Pay me, pay me the body, show me

136
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: the mody. But here's the thing. Does he not come

137
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: across It's just like totally spoiled. What are you doing?

138
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the and I don't want to speak for

139
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Cowboy fans because I'm not a Cowboy fan. However, don't

140
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: you want to see your so called franchise player at

141
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: least pretend pretend to be somewhat engaged, you know, maybe

142
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: not lay on the table and all that it's just petulant,

143
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: is what it is. Andy listen, we enjoy We've all

144
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: grown up at some point had conniption fits when we

145
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: were kids, but Jamy grow out of it. The optics

146
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: are horrendous on this for Michael Parsons, and he wants

147
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: to be a showman and he's going to do it

148
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: one way or another. And I still maintain my position

149
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: that all of this hullabaloo will end up with just

150
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: before the start of the season the Cowboys working out

151
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: an agreement with with Michael Parsons. Now it gets a

152
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: little tricky here because they do play in the first

153
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: game of the year. The Eagles and Cowboys will kick

154
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: off the NFL seasons. There's less time to play with

155
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: on that. But I maintained my position that there will

156
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: be last second negotiations to try to work out an agreement.

157
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: All right, Now turn the pitch. Does San Francisco we

158
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: go or San Francisco adjacent Santa Clair, which is not

159
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: San Francisco proper, but nonetheless the forty nine ers officially

160
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: over the weekend they signed the key docu signed there.

161
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: They crossed the t's and they dotted the eyes and

162
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: commander's running back Brian Robinson Junior is now headed to

163
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. He goes from Washington to San Francisco.

164
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan was asked about the team's plans for the

165
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: former Commander running back the old Redskins. There Robinson on

166
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: the depth chart, and Shanahan said, over the weekend quote,

167
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: we brought him here to be our two back. Shanahan

168
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: explained Robinson will be working closely behind Christian McCaffrey in

169
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: the forty nine er backfield there. So what the question

170
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: on this one? What is the real story? We know

171
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: what Shanahan said, We know what Kyle Shanahan said. We

172
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: take what coaches say with a great AsSalt. So what

173
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: is the real story on the Commander's running back Brian

174
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: Robinson going to the forty nine ers for basically nothing? Right,

175
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: late round draft picks are worthless. So this is a tell.

176
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: Some would say it's a dad, a dad, give it now.

177
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: The real story is the forty nine ers here do

178
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: not believe. They're not believers. They don't believe that McCaffrey

179
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: is going to make it through the season healthy, that

180
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: there's a durability issue with McCaffrey. He was hurt last

181
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: year before that, he actually had a stretch where he

182
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: was relatively healthy. So the thing about this is they're

183
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: not saying it out loud. They're not barking, oh yeah,

184
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: we don't think this guy's gonna be out there, because

185
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: you never say that. Yoah, I believe in my players

186
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: all this stuff. They're not saying it, but I'm telling

187
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: you their actions tell you they do not trust Christian

188
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: McCaffrey to hold up. They don't, and they're telling you

189
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: that by making this particular transition. The forty nine ers

190
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: basically called up the all State Mayhem guy and McCaffrey

191
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: goes down Boom Mayhem, Right, that's Mayhem, and you bring

192
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: in Dean Winters there, and the Niners are just trying

193
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: to avoid a situation where the inevitable happens. McCaffrey week

194
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: three or four gets hurt and then they have a

195
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: stable of running backs. Has always been a plug and

196
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: play position for the forty nine ers, that old Mike

197
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: Shanahan system, that Kyle Shanahan's just copied off his dad's

198
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: work there, and so it's always been well, I just

199
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: pluging waing, well man, they're saying, well, we need something

200
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: with a little extra And that also is a tell.

201
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: Right now, we know that Brian Robinson is insurance, NFL

202
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: insurance and all that stuff, but they're expecting to cash it,

203
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: like that's the thing. They expecting to cash it, and

204
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: you look around the underlying condition here, Okay, the underlying

205
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: condition is brock Purty, who they paid and he got

206
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: paid good for him. Congratulations, you're not that good, but

207
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: you got paid. And so brock Purty got paid. The

208
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: Nighters know though, that he doesn't make players around him better,

209
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: which is generally the rule for paying a quarterback elite money.

210
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: He's like, well, this guy's got to make other players

211
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: around them better. And anybody who knows ball knows that

212
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: brock Purty is not that guy. So Brian Robinson, who

213
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: was acquired for a late round pick, would give them

214
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: a little more, a little more in their offense there,

215
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: So he's insurance. And that's the issue. Brock Purty's not

216
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: going to carry anything offensively for the forty nine ers.

217
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: He needs weaponry. He needs people around him yards after

218
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: the catch, all that stuff, explosive plays. He's not going

219
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: to lead players to overperform their expectation and So if

220
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: McCaffrey gets hurt, or when Christian mca after he gets hurt,

221
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: and you're looking at the season going down down, down, down, down, down,

222
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: down down down down down. All right. Now, meanwhile, we

223
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: had a minor of flurry, a flurry of minor roster moves.

224
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: I guess that's the way we'll describe it.

225
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: Now.

226
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: One that caught a lot of attention despite being a

227
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: player that was not even drafted, not even drafted. That

228
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: would be Tampa we Go, where the Buccaneers inform rookie

229
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: safety Shiloh Sanders that your services are not needed. You're

230
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: being wave, which is a nice politically correct term. It's

231
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: code for being you've politely been fired. Please clean out

232
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: your locker and get the hell out of here. The

233
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: grim Reaper is paying you the Turk, not Turk Stevens

234
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: he used to working, But the Turk is coming to

235
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: track you down. And the agent on this Shrew Rosenhaus.

236
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: Now he's of course hoping that Sanders kid will be

237
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: claimed on waivers and get a job somewhere else. There's

238
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: also the possibility ends up on the practice squad. Now

239
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: there is some chatter, oh the buck hear should have

240
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: kept Shiloh on the on the roster, which I don't

241
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't understand that. Like, did did Shiloh Sanders get

242
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: a raw deal from the Buccaneers? I'm like, and what

243
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: world are you living? It like, You're not in the

244
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: world that I'm in. So I'm shaking my head. No,

245
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: I'm not. I mean the Bucks gave him the old

246
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: handshake and a bus ticket and a plane ticket and

247
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: said get out of here, bye bye, You're you're not

248
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: needed here. But he was undrafted. When you're undrafted, you

249
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: start out with cooties. You're behind the eight ball when

250
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: you're undrafted, So you're behind the eight ball, The cues crooked,

251
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: the chalk is getting wet. That all of that right,

252
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: And if you're honest, I mean, that's exactly what happened here.

253
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: Now you could say, well, you should have gotten more

254
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: of an opportunity, But I listen, did I watch every

255
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: Buccaneers game? No? I did not. Uh. Did I watch

256
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: the clips that are all over the place, Yes I did.

257
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: I watched the clips and what I saw on the

258
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: clips and those that break this stuff down as a tackler,

259
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders kid at the safety for the Bucks. Now

260
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: no longer with the Bucks. He was like in Mexico

261
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: as a matador or or or or the tackling was

262
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: not great. Now he does have the aura, the Sanders aura,

263
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: So Shiloh's got that going for him. However, apparently that

264
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: does not help if you're not good at tackling and

265
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: you're a safety. And there's also the little Komodo dragon

266
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: in the room where he walloped he meleaid a Bills

267
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: player in the final Bucks exhibition game, he threw a punch. Yeah,

268
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: like it was like Mike Tyson's punch out or something

269
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: like that. And that appears to be the final body blow.

270
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: Body blow, body blow, final body blow. And that's the

271
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: equivalent if you're desperately trying to get a job and

272
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: you're on a job interview and you end up punching

273
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: someone at the job interview. It is a kin to

274
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: showing up to a job interview and flip and then

275
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: yelling at the receptionist when you get to the place

276
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: to the interviews, well, why am I waiting? You know

277
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: who I am? Yeah, yeah, come on, forget about and

278
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: forget about that gig. You're not getting that gig at all,

279
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: So any listen, he was undersized. Why are we talking

280
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: about this because it's all over the place. And will

281
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: he end up on a practice squad? Shiloh Sanders probably

282
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: probably will end up somewhere on a practice squad. Maybe

283
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: he gets another chance with the Buccaneers on their practice

284
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: squad or somewhere else. But yeah, it's a it's a name,

285
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: it's a name referred, but an undrafted name, and let's

286
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: leave it to that.

Speaker 1: Covino and Rich. A big dumper delight, Welcome in the

312
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show. We

313
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: are in the air everywares we huddle up and go

314
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: on a shopping spree coast to coast, border to border

315
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: and beyond. On the mast and lip smackingly powerful microphones

316
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: of fs are am monating live from the whirlwind. It's

317
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: just a whirlwind of whispers as we try to avoid

318
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: joining the drifters. Coast to coast and all that good

319
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: stuff from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios here

320
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: as approved by the caller. We had last our big

321
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: balls Bob who won the Talent Show, which was a

322
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: spur of the moment. It was not really a talent show.

323
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: It was a karaoke thing that we did in Vegas.

324
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: And this portion of the Ben Mahler Show on Fox

325
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.

326
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: For over forty years, that's two generations, tire Rack has

327
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: been helping customers find the right tires for how, what

Speaker 1: road hazard protection, with convenient installation options like mobile tire

330
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: installation tier rac dot com the way tire buying shure

331
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: would be. So our lead this hour is from baseball

332
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: and we'll go to Seattle with the story everyone's been

333
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: yapping about. Here cal Raleigh doing it again. The Mariners

334
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: star cal Raley homer and his first two at bats

335
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: against Jacob Lopez of the Athletics. Not the Sacramento Athletics,

336
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: not the Oakland Athletics, not the Kansas City Athletics, not

337
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Athletics. They're just the Athletics. But that home

338
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: run bonanzo by cal Raley. He broke the MLB record

339
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: for home runs by a catcher in a single season

340
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: minimum seventy five percent of games played as a catcher.

341
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: So I assume you heard about that. If you've been listening,

342
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: you know about it. We've talked about it and maybe not.

343
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: But Salvador Perez of the Royals had the previous record

344
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: with forty eight home runs. That was back in twenty

345
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: twenty one. Man, it was so long ago, like four

346
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: or five years ago. Wow. Now Raleigh has forty home

347
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: runs this season while playing behind home play. Forty home

348
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: runs as a catcher, so he's still technically not one,

349
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: but two home runs away from that record. Just home

350
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: runs by a catcher. That was Hobby Lopez of the

351
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves back in the day forty two the most ever.

352
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: Take that, Mike Piazza and all those other catchers. They

353
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: hit a lot of home runs back in the day.

354
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: All right, So let us discuss the question based on

355
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: the latest developments. Has cal Rawley passed Aaron Judge by

356
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: in the American League MVP race? So I've got Google Maps, Airbnb,

357
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: and modern art, and we will combine all of these

358
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: things together and we will ring the bell again and

359
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: again and again and again. So number one, I said,

360
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: number one? Yeah, alright, So They're in a dead heat

361
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: at this point, right dead heat. If you look at

362
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: the American League MVP race down the stretch we go.

363
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: Here we are, it's late August, the baseball season heating up. Boy,

364
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: it's toasty hot most places, and we're setting up for

365
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: a photo finish like at the Kentucky Derby the very

366
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: end there. And if you look at where we're at,

367
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: cal Raley's got this record, the record as opposed to

368
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: the Royals catcher. He's got that. He's gonna have the

369
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: all time record. He's going to hit at least three

370
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: more home runs this year unless he gets hurt, so

371
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna have the all time record. And we know

372
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: that catching is more difficult than playing outfield like Aaron

373
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: Judges for the Yankees or dhing, which he's been doing

374
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: somewhat lately because of some injury stuff. So the issue though,

375
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: and this is the problem, and I want that dope

376
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: from Seattle to call up. You hate Kyl Rally. We

377
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: do the show today. We're worried about today's show. So today,

378
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: as we talk today, cal Raley is dead even and

379
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: even has a slight edge, a hair of an edge

380
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: over Aaron Judge the issue is Google Maps. If you

381
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: look look at the geography. Cal Roley plays, as the

382
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: old NFL coach Jimmy Johnson said back in the day,

383
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: he plays in southern Alaska. There's no workaround to that.

384
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: There won't about the Internet. There's no work around you have.

385
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: You have to overcome the geography and Aaron Judge, all

386
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: things being equal, Aaron Judge East Coast bias and all

387
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: that stuff. And also even in the age of social media,

388
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge playing in New York and he's got that

389
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: superhero costume, the pinstripes you good luck, right, the tie

390
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: will go to Judge. If it's even, the tie goes

391
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: to Aaron Judge. So Raleigh needs to be a full

392
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: head and shoulders ahead of Aaron Judge to take home

393
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: the American League MVP Award this year. And the Yankees

394
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: have a one game lead over the Mariners. If you

395
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: look at the overall standings in a lost column, a

396
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: one game lead for the wild and Ano. They're both wildcard teams,

397
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: but the Mariners are one game behind the Yankees in

398
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: the head to head standings. Judge is on pace. He's

399
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: on pace. Didn't play well, particularly on that Sunday night

400
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: game I was watching. The Yankees did actually beat the

401
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: Red Sox, which I didn't think they could do anymore,

402
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: but they did. I was watching that game a little bit.

403
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: The Yankees have a one game lead. As I mentioned,

404
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Judge on pace head ahead with the Mariners. Judge on

405
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: pace for thirty two doubles, fifty home runs and one

406
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen RBIs now cal Raley is tracking for

407
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 1: twenty three doubles and he's also on pace to hit

408
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: sixty I believe it. With sixty one home runs at

409
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: this point and one hundred and thirty one RBIs so

410
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: so big time numbers there. Now Page two, we stay

411
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: in the Bronx and we were talking about Aaron Judge,

412
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: and we're not going to talk about Aaron Judge right

413
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: now because the Yankees made a roster decision prior to

414
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: that game with the Red Sox on Sunday Night that

415
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: raised some eyebrows here. The Yankees have benched shortstop Anthony

416
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: Volpi Sunday Night base but he was out of the

417
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: starting lineup. He did get in the game as a

418
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: defensive replacement late, but he was no longer the start

419
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: shortstop for the new York Yankees in their win against

420
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. So the question, is this the beginning

421
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: of the end for Anthony Volpi in the Bronx? Is

422
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: this it? The Yankee shortstop Anthony Volpi there benched in

423
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: that game last night. So I'm gonna nod my head

424
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: yes on this one in terms of this being the end.

425
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: We did a rant about Anthony Volpi a couple weeks back,

426
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: and it's only gotten worse. It's only gotten worse at

427
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 1: this particular point. And the Vulpy thing just isn't working.

428
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: The message has been sent here and the Yankees are

429
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: trying to sell Vulpi. They've been trying to sell them,

430
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: and this is gonna all work out. You know, He's

431
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: got to hold the roots. He's got the backstory. Everyone

432
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: loves the backstory and all that. He's the next Derek

433
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: Jeter and all that. And what they've got is they've

434
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: got the equivalent of a version of Windows Vista that

435
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: is promised as this next big innovation and all that stuff,

436
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: but it's actually just filled with a virus. And that's

437
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: what they got. The numbers don't like. Vulpi is hitting

438
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: two to eight well, building average doesn't matter, Well, it

439
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to some people. Two eight he's a career

440
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: two twenty two hitter, so he's barely above the Mendoza line,

441
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: which is terrible. And his ops is in the six hundreds,

442
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: which I'm told is not particularly good. That is not

443
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: Yankee shortstop material. It should not be whether you have

444
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter or not. That should not be the case there.

445
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: That is where you're playing in Central Park, playing softball,

446
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: and that's where you are with that kind of stat line.

447
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: And he's got more errors at this point than our

448
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: friend Big Balls Bob trying to get on the internet.

449
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of errors there. And the Yankees fans

450
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: have been living this mirage. They're like, oh yeah, yeah,

451
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: ever since Jeter retired, it's like, oh eah, we're gonna

452
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: be We're gonna find the next year. It's flotsam and

453
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: jetsam that they've had at short stop. They tried d D. Gregorious,

454
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: that workout not good, Glaber Torres, that was a bus.

455
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: Now they have Volpi who throws balls into the stands.

456
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: He wants to give everyone a souvenir. Does that a

457
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: lot ball bounces in the dart bounces in the crowd

458
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: the whole thing there. And it's like the Yankees are

459
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: running an airbn b. It's an Airbnb for shortstops at

460
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: this particular point. There's a different guy every couple of years,

461
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: every couple of years. None of them seem to live

462
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: up to the brochure, and you know the photos and

463
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: there you sign up for the airbnbing and like all right,

464
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay there. And you show up and instead

465
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: of the presidential suite in the nice king sized bed there,

466
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: you're given a sleeping bag under and overpass. And that

467
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: is you know, it's it's indoor outdoor living, is what

468
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: it is. Indoor outdoor living, and that's it. And that's

469
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: just not the way it's supposed to go. It's like,

470
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: you know, you're not in Rancho Cucamonga, You're You're the

471
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: New York Yankees and all that. And if you stink

472
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: for multiple seasons with Vulpi is there, he costs them.

473
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: He helped cost them the World Series. Now I loved it.

474
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: When he was a stumblebomb against the Dodgers in the

475
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: fifth inning of Game five of the World Series, everyone

476
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: focuses on Aaron Judge muffing the ball in the outfield

477
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: and Garrett Cole not making the play, not covering first base.

478
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: But how about Vulpi he booted a ball in that

479
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: World Series also, so the guy's a bust with a

480
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: capitol B at this point, and ye go out and

481
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: replace him. Now they can't do anything now. The trade

482
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: deadline's pass, so they're stuck with what they have. The Yankees,

483
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: good luck on that all right now. Final point to

484
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: San Diego, we go where the Podres did not did

485
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: not sweep the Dodgers, but the Dodger oftens very limp

486
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: over the weekend they're in San Diego. The Dodgers did

487
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: rally back to beat the Podres in the game that

488
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: was played on Sunday to avoid the old sweep. The

489
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: old sweeperoo at the hands of the fish Tacos. There

490
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: was something that happened the game within the game. Here

491
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: they caught my attention and got a lot of buzz,

492
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: a lot of attention. So I don't know I saw

493
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: the highlight or heard about the highlight or not. The

494
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: Dodgers were getting smoked early in the game, not smoke,

495
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: but they were down. They had a futile offense all

496
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: week and they came back and they got a little

497
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: bit of insurance late when shohy Otani connect. And the

498
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: story is about that home run. So there was a

499
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: Padre fan who was sitting right next to the Dodger

500
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: dugout in San Diego, and this guy was busting the

501
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: balls of show al time, busting his chops all series

502
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: and Otani was horrific. He had ten at bats, He

503
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: was zero for ten for the Dodgers against the Padres

504
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: in this Showdown NL West matchup prior to that home run.

505
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: So he was doing absolutely bupkus for the Dodgers up

506
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: until then. And then finally what happens. He goes Deepits

507
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: a home run. There you go. And what did Otani

508
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: do after the home run? He gave the guy a

509
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: high five. He gave the guy a high five. So

510
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 1: what is the word? Here's the question. What is the

511
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: word for Dodger star shohe Otani high fiving a Heckler

512
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: wearing Padre merch. All right, so my word is refreshing

513
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: with a capital R. Refreshing with a capital R. Here's why.

514
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, because how many stories have we

515
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: done over the last couple of years about athlete X

516
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: losing their mind, losing their mind because somebody was heckling

517
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: them and they crossed the line. This is not right

518
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: and all that. So I found it refreshing that rather

519
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: than have the fan escorted out of the stadium, which

520
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: Otani could have done, all Otani had do was tap

521
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: on the shoulder of the security guy and that would

522
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: have been it for the heckler. So it was refreshing

523
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: that Otani not do that. Most of these guys today

524
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 1: seem to be very thin skinned, and they're very touchy

525
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: and hyper sensitive to all the noise and all this stuff,

526
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: and anybody boos them boom. We used to have a

527
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: guy called boom Man that called the show back of

528
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: the boom Man. And normally what happens is if you

529
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: boost certain of the players, these guys will immediately contact

530
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: stadium security like a mall cop and get that person

531
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 1: out of there. You're done and all that stuff. And

532
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: so to me, heckling it is modern art when done properly.

533
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: It should be hung in an art museum. When you're

534
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: able to heckle properly and get a player off his

535
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: game a little bit, And I said, well, this is

536
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: this backfired? Well, did it backfire or Tony had one

537
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: home run. The entire series was zero for ten prior

538
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: to that at bad but this is a masterpiece. So

539
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: like Picasso or Warhol, one of the great painters there.

540
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: And you get in the player's head, your rasm right,

541
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: give them a hard time, and then and that's what

542
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: he players pretend like, I don't hear it. I got

543
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: my earmuffs on. I'm not hearing what's going on there.

544
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: And then you end up hitting a home run like Otani.

545
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: And Otani, you'd think he'd be relieved because that really

546
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: cemented the game for the Dodgers, and they were about

547
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: to get swept by the Padres if they had not

548
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: come back in that game. But he wasn't seemingly overjoyed

549
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: because he hit the home run that helped guarantee the

550
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: Dodgers got to win. He was happy because you got

551
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: to put a cork in the heckler's mouth. That's what

552
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: he was happy about. That's great, Like, thank god, I

553
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: finally got one. That's the way to do it. Now.

554
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: The pottery fan basically pushed him into the home run

555
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: was all over Otani. It was great and finally he

556
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: connected on one and that's that's how it ended. But

557
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: this is not This is not the way it normally

558
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: goes done. So many of these stories where it's like

559
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: this guy's gotta get kicked out, that guy's gotta get

560
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: kicked out, it's like, what are we doing here? In fact,

561
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: there was a time for players it was emasculating. If

562
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: you had a fan kicked out, it was like a

563
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 1: badge of honor the heckling that would be going on

564
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: back in the day. And then so it's it's different,

565
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: but the boo birds are chirping. That is a sign

566
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: of honor. That is not something to be upset about.

567
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: You should be honor day. As the old line goes,

568
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: they don't boot nobody's right, you're gonna be good to

569
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: get booed. And so there's Otani the face of major

570
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: League baseball, not even close the face of major League baseball.

571
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: You got Otani out there working his magic, hitting a

572
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: home run, and then that fans, you know, some guy

573
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: making normal dough and he ends up getting in Otani's head.

574
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: So that is a w for the heckler and also

575
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: inspiration for other hecklers around Major League baseball. When the

576
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: playoffs get going, here in a month, and the Dodgers,

577
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: whether they win the division or the wild card team,

578
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in the playoffs somewhere, and then Otani

579
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: will have an opportunity to be heckled by random people

580
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: all over the place.

581
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

582
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern even be em Pacific.

583
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: Here we are, Mallard. How about that?

584
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: To the third degree? This is one big vent gets grilled.

585
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: Here we all and to the koop a loop for

586
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: the questions the quiz that we call Mallard of the

587
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: third degree.

588
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: The Phillies announced on Saturday the starting pitcher Zach Wheeler

589
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 3: will miss the remainder of the season.

590
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: Yes, he could have died. People die from blood clots, Coop,

591
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: They die from blood clots.

592
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 3: Yes, Ben, How big of a blow is this for

593
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 3: the Phillies World series hopes?

594
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: Well, it sucks. However, the Phillies, I am convinced if

595
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna do anything here, it's going to be based

596
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: on their offense. I don't think that's an outrageous take. Oh,

597
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: you're really a shock jock with that take. No, they

598
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: remember a couple of years ago they got the World

599
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: Series and then they stopped hitting. But you've got a

600
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: lineup that is absolutely stacked with Trey Turner, Kyle Schwarber,

601
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, jt Riamuto at the top. Those top four

602
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: hitters are among the top hitters in all of the

603
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: National League, all of baseball. So if they score runs,

604
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: they've got an enough pitching. Oh you're you're crazy. No,

605
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: Sanchez has been wonderful this year. He's their number one

606
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: now with Wheeler out, Lozardo is not terrible, and Rangel

607
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: Suarez has had had some moments. So, I mean, there's

608
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: some other guys in there, Taiwan Walker and whatnot. But

609
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm I don't think this eliminates the Phillies by any means.

610
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: It makes it a little more difficult. It makes it

611
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: a better story for the Phillies to get to the

612
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: World Series. I look at the National League's wide open.

613
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are beatable. Not only the Podres are invincible

614
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: by any means. Here you look around, the Brewers look good,

615
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: but can they do in the playoffs? Trees cubs. So,

616
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: to answer your question, Coop, it hurts, but it's not

617
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: a kill shot for the Phillies.

618
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 3: Next Over the weekend, the Vikings traded backup quarterback Sam

619
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 3: Howell and signed Carson Wentz.

620
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: The great former Ram Carson Wentz.

621
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 3: Right, well, yeah, a lot of people are calling this

622
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 3: an upgrade at backup, isn't it.

623
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: No, it is a lateral move. It is not an

624
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: up I'm actually a ran. More about this later. Carson

625
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 1: Wentz has been washed up for five years, six years,

626
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: and he still gets jobs in the NFL. Wouldn't that

627
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: be great if you're you proven you're not good at

628
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: your job and he gets bounced around. He's played for

629
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles, Colts, Commanders, Rams, Chiefs and now the Vikings

630
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty. Either way, the Vikings are putting all

631
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: their chips in the JJ McCarthy basket. We all know that, right.

632
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: If McCarthy sucks, they're cooked. They're absolutely cooked. It's not

633
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: like they're in better shape if Carson Wentz gets it

634
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: there in place. It's not like all of a sudden,

635
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: Oh we're in good shit. We got Carson Wentz. We're

636
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: ready to go.

637
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 3: Come on, all right next, Paul Skin's just the way

638
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 3: gem in his fiftieth start in the majors and now

639
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 3: has the second lowest ere of any pitcher in the

640
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 3: live ball era through fifty starts. But do you think

641
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 3: the Pirates are going to waste a generational talent much

642
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: like the angel did with Mike Trout.

643
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: Well, waste, you mean, but Trout's still there. They're just

644
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: not winning. Toni Otani would be the better, right because

645
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: the cud's already wasted.

646
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 3: He's a thirty four now.

647
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: But Otani. They got nothing for Otani. They just let

648
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: Otani leave in free agency. They could have traded Otani

649
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: like Paul Skeans. The Pirates are going to end up

650
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: trading him in the next couple of years, right, So

651
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: they're not gonna get nothing for him. Are they gonna

652
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: win the Pirates? No, that's another team. There's a lot

653
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: of teams in baseball coupe good ballpark, bad team. The

654
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: Pirates are on that good ballpark the Giants, Now we

655
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: had that our buddy, the Giant fans showed up to

656
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: that meet and greet the ugly orange Giant hat on.

657
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: I said, good good ballpark, bad team. The Pirates are

658
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: on that list. But no, they're not gonna win. They'll

659
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: win when Paul Skeans pitches, and then when he doesn't pitch,

660
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's like well, and then every once in

661
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: a while you get a team that because they have

662
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: so many terrible seasons, they get all these collection of

663
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: young players at the same time. But no, I'm they're

664
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: gonna they're not gonna win anything in Pittsburgh with Paul

665
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: Skeins while he's there, and he'll go pitch for the

666
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: Yankees or the Dodgers, the Red Sox or someone like that,

667
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 1: or mystery team, and then he'll go on and find

668
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: glory somewhere else. All right there, it is Mallard of

669
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: the third degree. How did we do you pass this edition?

670
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: That is a pass? Yeah, So, so we had we

671
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: had Tree, and I gave Tree the ten centaur of

672
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio studios. I pointed, I said, that's

673
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: where the cockroaches die. I said, that's the room where

674
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: wrong button Bob turned the entire network off. Right over there,

675
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: there's a button. We don't know which button he pressed,

676
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: but there's a button. I said, here's the vending machine,

677
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: which used to be cheap. And then one of the

678
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: one of the board ops complained and they raised the prices.

679
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: Either he's not here anymore, so I don't know his name.

680
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: I forget his name. I don't know who that is.

681
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: But that's a bad job by him, bad job by him.
