1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Playball. It's our name bird too, our number two. Now,

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: chances are if you listen to the Ben Maler Show

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: podcast that you were a person working the day shift.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: Maybe you're one of the people that used to listen

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: live at night and you took the money like Chris

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: and Houston or Can't Close the deal'neil or some of

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: the other legends that went to the day shift and

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: we lost them as active members of the show during

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: the live edition. So when you have a sporting event

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: that goes late, people that worked the day shift love

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: to complain. For us, it's a great mitzvah. For example,

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: we were on the air moments after moments after the

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: World Series end. We actually in a commercial break at

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: the time Freddie Freeman was to hear it the game

15
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: winning home run leading off the eighteenth inning Game three

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: of the World Series. That's right, eighteen innings. What stood

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: out from the eighteen inning thriller at the ravine goes

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers. Also, what is the word for trying

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: to watch the Blue Jays and Dodgers flail away in

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: extra innings during the World Series. The Dodgers' bullpen, which

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: has been the definition of suck was outstanding, thanks in

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: large part to some help by the Toronto Blue Jays.

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: Also with the Blue Jay pitching staff pitching around, pitching around,

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: show Hail Tani. Four intentional walks, five walks in the game.

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: Does Major League Baseball need to revisit and change the

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: intentional walk rule? Bad for the sport? We'll discuss. I

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: will give you my position, my nuanced position on that

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: right now here. It is our number two. Freddy puts

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays to Betty Welcome in the beginning of

30
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,000

Speaker 1: com the way tire buying should be and our lead

53
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: this story from Chavez Ravine that the scene Downtown LA.

54
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: Overlooking Downtown La. That the stage for Game three of

55
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: the World Series. You had Vladimir Guerrero Junior Flattie leading

56
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays as they flew into La for a

57
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: matchup with sho Hey O'tani and the Dodgers. Not the

58
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: start of the game seven some hours ago. You had

59
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: Mac Schurzer versus Tyler Glass. Now that was the matchup.

60
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: Start Joe Davis and John Smoltz had the call, and

61
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: the game ended about ten minutes ago. We're doing this

62
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: in real time. The game ended in about ten minutes ago.

63
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: And why edited in ten minutes ago because Freddie Freeman

64
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: to the moon. If you didn't see it, Freddy Freeman

65
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: hits a game ender, eighteen inning walk off home run

66
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: for Freddie Freeman as the Dodgers and Blue Jays played

67
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: free baseball. A solo home run by Freddie Freeman the

68
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: bottom of the eighteenth and the Blue Crew get a

69
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: six to five win in a game that took six

70
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: hours and thirty nine minutes, six hours and thirty nine minutes,

71
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: a game that had several points where the Blue Jays

72
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: could have, should have and would have won, but they

73
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: did not win. So let us discuss. That's a good

74
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: jumping off point. Freddie Freeman your October hero. And so

75
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: the question on this one, the question is what stands out?

76
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: What is your knee jerk reaction to Game three of

77
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: the World Series, which just ended a couple of minutes ago.

78
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: So I've got on this one. I've got kryptonite. We've

79
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: also got Rancho Koukamonga. And if that was not enough,

80
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: we will throw in for added effect, we will throw

81
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: in the cry babies, and we'll mix all of these

82
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: things together, and we are going to make the babaganoochs.

83
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna make the baba ganoosh. So the first thing

84
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: that stands out is the amount of baseball that was played.

85
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this is eighteen innings of baseball between the

86
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Blue Jays. And you look at some of

87
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: the numbers here, which are historic. The Dodgers, for example,

88
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: left eighteen runners on base in this game, eighteen runners

89
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: on base. The Toronto Blue Jays they ended up with

90
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: nineteen runners left on base. The Blue Jays were two

91
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: of twelve in runners in scoring positions, so they were

92
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: not very good in that to barment. The Dodgers on

93
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: the other side, and obviously not good either. They were

94
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: two for fourteen. It was the show Hey Otani game.

95
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: More on that in a minute. Otani, who was absolutely cooking.

96
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: He was four for four, and then the Blue Jays

97
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: eventually decided, well, we're not gonna let him beat us,

98
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: and so they started walking him. He was walked five times,

99
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: four of those intentional, and Otani tying a major League

100
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: baseball record for most times reaching base, as he ended

101
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: up on base nine times in Game three of the

102
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: World Series. So he's had two massive playoff games, the

103
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: one against the Brew crew with all the home runs

104
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: and the pitching, and now this game where the Blue

105
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: Jays just completely could not get him out. They gave up.

106
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: So it's that. And then obviously Freddie Freeman, there'll be

107
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand promotions next year. Freddie Freeman, bobblehead, Freddie Freeman,

108
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: replica Jersey, Freddie Freeman, this, Freddie Freeman.

109
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: That.

110
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: But the walk off home run right over the three

111
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: to ninety five sign in center field at Dodger Stadium,

112
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers have won it, and Freddy that post.

113
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: He knew he was going to be in the like

114
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: the bobblehead next year, so he had the number one

115
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: finger in the air. He said, number one right there,

116
00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: every everywhere. So the now here's a fun factoid. Are

117
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: you ready for a fun factoid mixed in fun fact

118
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: All right? So we are told that is now official.

119
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: There have only been two eighteen inning games in world

120
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: serious history, and Brad Paisley sang the national anthem at

121
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: both of them. He was there for Game three in

122
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, and now here in this game, the game

123
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium here that went eighteen innings. So it's

124
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: his birthday today. Yeah. The thing also that stands out

125
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: about this though, is not all losses are the same, right,

126
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's about this hurts because it's an eighteen

127
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: inn and loss for the Toronto Blue Jays. But I

128
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: would argue, and I don't think I'm wrong on this.

129
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: You can disagree if you want. This is worse than

130
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: that because the weak spot of the Dodgers, every man,

131
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: woman and child knows is the bullpen. It is a

132
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: parade of horribles the Dodger bullpen. And it wasn't pretty.

133
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: There were a lot of runners on base, there was

134
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: a lot of traction. But in the end, the Dodgers'

135
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: bullpen was marvelous. It was a chef's kiss. Will Klein,

136
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: who normally he would say, decline immediately a Dodger legend

137
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: as the pitcher, the nondescript pitcher coming out of the bullpen.

138
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: There Will clinb and pitching a lot of goosegs, a

139
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: lot of goose eggs out of that Dodger bulben. Four innings.

140
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: He threw seventy two pitches out of the bullpen and

141
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: only allowed one hit. He walked a couple of guys,

142
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: but four innings of shutout relief, and he was the

143
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: last man standing for the Dodgers. Now turning the page

144
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: on that. As for the approach, the approach of both teams,

145
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: So the question is is there a word? Is there

146
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: a word?

147
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: Now?

148
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: The Dodgers kryptonite is their bullpen. The Blue Jays blew it.

149
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: They didn't take advantage of that, but just in general,

150
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: both teams were rather flaccid as the game went on.

151
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: So what is the word watching the Blue Jays and

152
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: Dodgers flail away for what seemed like three hours like

153
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: the game the regular game for three hours. The extra

154
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: innings were like three hours, three hours plus. So what

155
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: is the word for the Dodgers and Blue Jays offensive

156
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: approach for the majority of extra inning baseball there in

157
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: the World Series? So two words, not one word? Two

158
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: words hero ball, hero ball. Everyone in Dodger blue and

159
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jay uniforms. Everyone decided that they were going

160
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: to go out there and they were going to be

161
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: the protagonist in the in movie. They were making a

162
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: movie in so many sports movies, and they wanted to

163
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: be the protagonist in this, and forget team baseball. There

164
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: wasn't very much of that. Once you got to extra innings,

165
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: you've got home run derby. Everyone's trying to hit home runs.

166
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: You get a home run, you get a home run.

167
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: It's Halloween this week, and so it's it's Halloween home

168
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: run derby. Cosplay is what it was here for the

169
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: Dodgers in Blue Jayson, Game three of the World Series.

170
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: It was often reckless. It was often irresponsible baseball, that's

171
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: what it was, and almost no situational hitting when the

172
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: Dodgers did try it, and it backfired as they bunted

173
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: the runner across the way and they just needed a

174
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: sack fly and then of course a pop up to

175
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: shortstop screwed that up. So there was almost no situational hitting,

176
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: and then when the Dodgers did try it, it backfired.

177
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: There it was mostly a conga line of guys trying

178
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: to hit the ball outside of the stadium over the pavilion.

179
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: A lot of uppercut swings there from players on both teams,

180
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: and that is human nature, right. It's just like in basketball,

181
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: certain guys want to take the shot at the end

182
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: of the game. Now there's other guys that turtle up

183
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: and don't want to take the shot. But in baseball,

184
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: very rarely do you find anyone that doesn't want to

185
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: be the hero and get the postgame interview, get the

186
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: gatorade bath, the whole thing. Hit the game winning home run,

187
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: and everyone wants to be on the poster. Everyone wants

188
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: to be on the meme. Now, Freddie Freeman, back to

189
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: back years, Freddie Freeman is on that that moment, and

190
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: while Tani hit a home run and was on base

191
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: nine times, Freeman's got to be the lead. Freddie Freeman's

192
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: got to be leading this game. And that iconic photo

193
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: of him with his finger raised up in the air,

194
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: the one finger as he was circling first base. But

195
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: so you can be a bunch of as we said,

196
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman giveaways next year for the Dodgers. The problem

197
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: is when everyone's swinging like they're trying to hit the

198
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: ball to Rancho Kuckamonga. Okay, the offense looks like a

199
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: bad Beer League softball situation. It's not very very pretty.

200
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: And so Freddie Freeman did get it. As we said,

201
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: it's the game winning home on Dodgers went it six

202
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: to five in X ratings. That was nine innings times

203
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: two in the World Series, and history says that the

204
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: winner of Game three has won seventy percent. I believe

205
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: it's seventy percent of the time. However, as the great

206
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: Dick Stockton inform me, that tells you what has happened,

207
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: not what's going to happen here. And so the final

208
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: nine innings, while John Smoltz and Joe Davis on the

209
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: Fox broadcast were waxing liquacious about how amazing it was

210
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: and how magical it was and all that. They were

211
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: going on on and on and on, everyone trying to

212
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: be the Knight in Shining Armor, and occasionally, sometimes the

213
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: Knight in Shining Armor is just an idiot wrapped in

214
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: tinfoil that occasionally happens. That occasionally happens, And so there

215
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: was there was some of that. Now, the other thing

216
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: I've learned from years and years of doing talk radio

217
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: is a lot of that game was rather disgusting. It

218
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: was puke in your mouth bad baseball, fundamentally bad baseball.

219
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: There were pitchers on the Dodgers who fundamentally blow and

220
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays turned them into rock stars because of

221
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: bad at bats, and they got themselves out a lot

222
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: of the time. I got themselves out a lot of

223
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: the time. So you've got that. But the thing that

224
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: I know, all of this will be forgotten. It's like

225
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: men in black and they're gonna zap you. They're gonna

226
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: zap you with the neuraliyes or whatever it's called there.

227
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: And the only thing over time that we are going

228
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: to remember is going to be and this is across

229
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: the board. When you watch a big event like this

230
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: in sports, you're gonna remember two things. You're gonna remember

231
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: the emotional peak and you're gonna remember the end of

232
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: the game. Now, in this case, it's they're both the same.

233
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: The emotional peak was the Freddie Freeman home run. Right now,

234
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: maybe you'll remember Otani got on base nine times. I

235
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: was at the Dodger Red Sox game where when eighteen

236
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: innings in the twenty eighteen World Series, and I remember

237
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: two things about that game without looking. I remember the

238
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: Max Munsey home run, and I also remember for the

239
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: Red Sox Nathan Evaldi pitching ridiculous bullpen came in, pitched

240
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of innings. I forget how many, but he

241
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: saved the Red Sox pitching staff coming in and throwing

242
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: a ton of innings in that game. So those are

243
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: the things I remember, and I was at that game

244
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: in that World Series back in the day. Now the

245
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: last word here, let's address what everyone will be yapping

246
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: about outside the outcome of the game, and that would

247
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: be the sho Hel Tani getting on base nine times game?

248
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: How did you get on base nine times? Well, a

249
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: lot of that was because of the generosity of the

250
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. He was intentionally walked, not once, not twice,

251
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: not three times, but four times. So the question on

252
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: this one, with the Blue Jay pitchers and the management

253
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: deciding we're not going to allow Otani to beat us.

254
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: With Otani being pitched around and walked, he's walked five

255
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: times with four intentional walks. Does Major League Baseball need

256
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: to revisit the intentional walk rule. So a lot of chatter,

257
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: a lot of Internet chatter. People upset, many of them

258
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: work to day shift, many of them are on the

259
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: East Coast. Many of them are belly aching and complaining it's.

260
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 3: Not fair, it's a right.

261
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: Or crybabies. So let's address the cry babies in the

262
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: room and we'll tackle the question with Otani intentionally walked

263
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: four times in this game. Does baseball to revisit the

264
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: intentional walk rule? So I am shaking my head. No,

265
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: all right, I'm shaking my head.

266
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: No on this.

267
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: You cannot legislate out of respect. You cannot do it.

268
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: And if a guy is so terrifying, so intimidating that

269
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: a team in the World Series would rather hand that

270
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: player first base, just go down the first you've got

271
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: us by the balls, that's not a problem. That is

272
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: a act of respect for Sho hail Tani, that he's

273
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: such a monster that Toronto is there a bunch of cowards.

274
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: They're afraid of Otani. They're like these other guys. It's

275
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: also a vote of no confidence for the rest of

276
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: the Dodger lineup. But I totally get it. The Blue

277
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: Jays didn't just pitch around him. They tapped out in

278
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: this game. They said no moss, they tossed in the sponge,

279
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: all of that. John the Blue Jays manager, essentially raised

280
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: the white flag and said, please don't hurt us, show hey,

281
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: leave us alone. Four intentional walks are your bloody kidding me?

282
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: That is the baseball version of pulling the fire alarm. Now,

283
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like it's not

284
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: great for the sport. It's terrible for the sport. We

285
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: get it. I understand. I like baseball. I don't like

286
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: everything about baseball. I like to complain. I get paid

287
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: to complain. So clearly, it's not ideal. It's not. It's

288
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: just isn't the sport neutering its biggest stars, cutting the

289
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: balls off its biggest stars on the biggest stage around

290
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: is not what you're hoping for. It's not. It's just

291
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: bad television. It's bad entertainment. And so that is an

292
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: issue that you have to factor in here. It would

293
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: be like telling Patrick Mahomes, Listen, dude, you're so good.

294
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: The defense asked you to not throw a pass in

295
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and so we're not going to allow

296
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: you to throw a pass in the Super Bowl because

297
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: you're so good. Or whoever your favorite NBA player is

298
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: right now. Back in the old days, you'd say Lebron,

299
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: but whoever it was, don't let them shoot the ball

300
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: in Game seven of the NBA Finals, All right, now,

301
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: the yabbit crowd, yabbit, yah, butit yah, yeah, but yeah,

302
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: the yabbit rabbit, the yabbit rabbit that says, you know, listen,

303
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: change the rule. It's it's bad for the sport. You

304
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: got to advance the baseball has been around since the

305
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: eighteen eighties or whatever. You get to advance, advance the sport.

306
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm on the counter of that. My argument

307
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: is you cannot change the rule every time somebody is

308
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: so good. It's emasculating. In basketball, they got rid of

309
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: the slam dunk because well, guys, with certain guys, we're

310
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: too good. Will Chamber of Kareem Abdul Jabbar and players

311
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: of that Kareem created the shook, which was unstoppable known

312
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: as leu ale cinder back in those days. But in

313
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: the context of baseball, it's part of the sport of baseball.

314
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: You earn that treatment. They're not walking nobody's four times intentionally.

315
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: So just to play devil's advocate here and again, my

316
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: position is firmly that baseball does not need to dramatically

317
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: change this rule, that this is more of an outlier situation.

318
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: Now that being said, I did activate the Malar think tank.

319
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: The mal think tank has been activated here and the

320
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: idea we were tossing this around casually or in an

321
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: earlier hour of the show. It does make a lot

322
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: of sense that you increase the stakes for players that

323
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: are so good you're gonna multiple, multiple times intentionally walk

324
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: a player. So I would be open to it. I

325
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: wouldn't love it, but I would be open to the

326
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: idea intentional walk. If you walk Otani the first time,

327
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: he gets first base. If you walk him later in

328
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: the game, he gets base. If you walk him a

329
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: third time, he goes to third base. And if you

330
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: walk him a fourth time, he just gives give him

331
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: a run. If you're such a coward and your pitching

332
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: staff blows so much, I'd be open. It is gimmicky,

333
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: and I generally try to avoid that kind of stuff.

334
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, though, if you think that would

335
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: be too radical, Oh you're just being a shock chock mallard.

336
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: That's why you're on Overnight. They're never gonna consider that.

337
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: Oh really, oh really, in my lifetime, In my lifetime,

338
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, ghost runners, bookey, Rob Manford gave you

339
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: ghost runners. That's literal league, that's Beer League, soft up.

340
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: Ghost rutters. Rob Manford gave you ghost rutters. So he

341
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: said out rage just to think of you won intentially

342
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: walk a guy four times. He'll just end the game.

343
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: That's it and give you a run pitch clock. That

344
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: was blasphemy back in the Baseball's got a pitchclock bigger

345
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: basis the size of pizza box. Who asked for that?

346
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: Baseball's got it? Banned the shift because the players can't adjust.

347
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: Baseball did it? So Rob Manford has already turned the

348
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: game into a bit of a funhouse. That bit of

349
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: a fun house here with everything here, all the gimmicks,

350
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: and you know, out of an effort to make the

351
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: game of baseball more entertaining. So either way, four intentional walks,

352
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: which is what Otani got here the ultimate badge of

353
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: riespect for Otani. That is it. Toronto did not pitch

354
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: to show Halti the meal ticket for the Dodgers the

355
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: entire second half. I guess there was one at back there.

356
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: They had to because there was nobody on. But other

357
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: than that, uh, for the majority of the World Series

358
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: game when we went to extra innings, because they knew

359
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: Otani was going to torch him. And so you can

360
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: wrap that in we want, I'll put a ball on

361
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: it this way. Major League Baseball, just to clarify my position,

362
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: because I know you only listen to half the things

363
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: I say. If I'm lucky, Major League Baseball does not

364
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: need a rule change. However, if you want to tinker

365
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: a little bit, I'd be okay with it. He would

366
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: add a degree of difficulty, so I'd be okay with that.

367
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: I don't love it. That would be a bit of

368
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: a compromise. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd

369
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: like to be part, you can join us now. After

370
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman ends the eighteen inning World Series thriller, the

371
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: Dodgers are two wins away from the World Series, and

372
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: if they win just the games at Dodgers Stadium, they

373
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: can wrap it up in a couple of games here

374
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: on Wednesday Night. If they win the next two here,

375
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: the Dodgers have a tremendous pitching advantage, at least in

376
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: the game here on Tuesday Night. Eight seven seven ninety

377
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,560

381
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: like ask a weed man and we might have to

382
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: push that back because of the events that have transpired here.

383
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: So we'll likely push that back a little bit, which

384
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: will not make him happy. Straight ahead, it's a walk

385

00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: by the Atlanta Braves to let him go. Solid decision

404
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,040

414
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: nice Genie, So Freddie Freeman. The players in baseball history

415
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: that have hit home runs in the eighteenth inning all time,

416
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: the last player to do it was not Max Muncy.

417
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: It was Jeremy Paina, I believe for the cheating Astros

418
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: in the accounts, see I just did in the American

419
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: League Divisional Series. That was back in twenty twenty two.

420
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: Max Munsey against the Socks in the twenty eighteen World Series.

421
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Belt, a Giants legend in twenty fourteen and somebody

422
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: named Chris Burke in five in the Nation League Divisional Series.

423
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: So there's all kinds of factoids and fun facts and

424
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: all that as the Dodgers get it done. Freddie Freeman,

425
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: this generation's most clutch player. The legend of Freddie Freeman.

426
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: Where does you know do the all time debate? Which

427
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: is old school talk radio? But Freddie Freeman was some

428
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: big moments in his career. Let's go to Ryan, who's

429
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: in so Cow going on, Ryan, Welcome, you're on the

430
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: Ben Malor Show.

431
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 4: Hey, Then all right, we'll talk about Freddy Freeman in

432
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 4: a second. But watching the game tonight, I'll make an

433
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: odd analogy, but man, it felt like watching a basketball

434
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 4: game where they're running the box at won on show, Hey,

435
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 4: and just took the ball out of his hands because

436
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 4: I mean, he was dominant and on the first nine

437
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 4: innings and then I couldn't see a pitch, And you

438
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 4: know I wouldn't pitch him either if I was a manager.

439
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: Now, it's not great for the product.

440
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 4: I don't know what what would be more unbelievable? The

441
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 4: best player in the history of baseball, and it's prime

442
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 4: playing for coops and my Angels or Freddie Freeman sitting

443
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 4: right next to me his junior senior year in high school.

444
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: Aha, there we go, now, here we go, here we go,

445
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: here we go. And how amount how many walk off

446
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: home runs have you hit? Ryan?

447
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 4: I didn't even hit one in Little league?

448
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: Damn in little league?

449
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 3: No?

450
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 4: Oh, man, man, you know what? You know what got

451
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 4: me in trouble when I try to swing like the

452
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 4: Dodgers in that's your inning tonight. But no, seriously, it's

453
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 4: crazy that Freddie, he will be All of Famer. Just

454
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: hold the accomplishments, you know, walk off home runs two

455
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 4: years in a row. And you know, I think I

456
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 4: told you this, man. Uh. In a senior year, I asked,

457
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 4: you know, we just it was just one on one

458
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 4: and I said, hey, you have a backup plan a

459
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 4: case and you get hurt. And the only time I

460
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 4: saw him get really frustrated. He didn't lose this cool though,

461
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 4: and he just looked at me and said, Coach, I'm

462
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 4: going to make it.

463
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 5: Last.

464
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 4: The last the last day I saw him, he said, uh, Coach,

465
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 4: I got to turn back this reading book into the library.

466
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 4: And he goes, Coach, I'll never have a reading book

467
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 4: in my hands again.

468
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: There you go to baseball, but you never have to

469
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: read again. That's a great testimony for Major League Baseball.

470
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: You never have to read, you don't have to do math,

471
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: you don't have to do any of that. Uh So, yeah,

472
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: Freddy's gonna end up in the Hall of Fame. It's

473
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: not meets all the criteria for the Hall of Fame.

474
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: Why why what why why why why why why why?

475
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 4: We could talk about this later. But you know what's

476
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 4: crazy is so many d one opening the big names

477
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 4: Penn State, LSCU, Florida, Oklahoma State, and I'm sure you

478
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 4: if you haven't talked about this, ye'll be talking about

479
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 4: it later. It's just crazy. How many g U c

480
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 4: l A. I mean, I think this is gonna be

481
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 4: an off season like we've never seen before in college football.

482
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: Well, there's no there's no reason to even pretend and

483
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: play the game of charades like you have to keep

484
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: the coach because it's free agency every year, so you

485
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: don't need a coach. It used to be the coach.

486
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: The coaches had the greatest racket college football and basketball

487
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: coaches they all had to have eight year contracts, and

488
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: for some reason, they're still giving out those massive contracts,

489
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: even though the players, if they want to change schools

490
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: every year, they can change schools and get more nil money.

491
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: It's the dumbest thing in the world. At some point

492
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: and again academia, at some point these people will realize

493
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: what a hustle this is and they'll stop giving out

494
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: these massive contracts. And there is a there's a supply

495
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: chain shortage. As you know, Ryan, there's not enough big

496
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: time coaches in college sports that are beloved, that are

497
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: named brand coaches. There's more job openings that need those

498
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: coaches than there are coaches. So if you, if you

499
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: know any if you know any good coaches, you might

500
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: want to tell them to start applying.

501
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 4: So well, in the LSU ad who gained the contract

502
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 4: to Brian Kelly? What contract did he give or who

503
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 4: did he Who was his last coach before Brian Kelly?

504
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: Well it'd be the the Cajun Fred Flintstone right back

505
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: back in the day.

Speaker 5: I go.

Speaker 1: Let's go to John in Atlanta. Will they bring Freddie

515
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: back to celebrate him, the beloved Atlanta brave there as

516
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: he the hero.

517
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 3: Oy brother. Let me tell you, man that when when

518
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 3: when Freddy left, Man, it broke my heart, man, because

519
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: I knew that guy was great and everybody knew he was.

520
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: And you know, you know, Olsen is great at first base,

521
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: and he he's a good, you know, hitter, but he's

522
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 3: not Freddie Freeman. You know what I'm saying. Uh, he's

523
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: not a clutch guy.

524
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was Freddy Freeman's a Hall of Famer

525
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: and you know Olsen's like a good, good player, but

526
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: not not great.

527
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: So right, But you know the thing that you said that,

528
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: uh it's the first time calling in man. Uh and

529
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 3: uh you really made a great point about the walking

530
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: man that that stuff drives me nuts. Dude. It's like,

531
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 3: I want to watch great baseball and you want to

532
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: see the guy get up the bat and it's like, dude,

533
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 3: and and you know, you see four intentional you know,

534
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 3: four you know, intentional walks. But then really that that

535
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 3: last one was just basically throwing the ball in the dirt.

536
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 3: They want to get to pitch to a tany and

537
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 3: you want to see the guy play. So I'm not

538
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: saying a rule change. Like you said, you don't want

539
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 3: to see a rule change, but maybe something could be

540
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 3: happening in the.

541
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: Post how how else the only way I I don't

542
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: want to see a rule change. I also, at the

543
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: same time, I guess I'm too faced on this John

544
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: because I don't like it. I also want to see

545
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: a tiny hit, Like what's the point of trying to

546
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: get great players if you can just cut their balls

547
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: off in the playoffs and they can't? You know, I

548
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: don't guess It's like you don't do that in any

549
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: other sport, do you like, in any of the sports

550
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: that we love, you don't just eliminate someone from from

551
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: beating you. You try to do it, like, you know

552
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: in football, you try to do it in basketball. But

553
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: to have a rule where you can literally just let

554
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: them walk to first base and not beat you wild.

555
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: And I know it takes away a little bit from

556
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 3: the you know, it takes a little bit away from

557
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 3: the sport, you know, And uh, I love baseball and

558
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 3: you know, I'm a lifelong Braves fan. And the thing

559
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: is is like, when you watch the postseason, I just

560
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 3: want to see great baseball. I want to see and

561
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 3: tonight it's like, dude, after eighteen innings, it's like, I

562
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 3: need to smoke a cigarettes.

563
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: Like, you know, I don't know what you were doing.

564
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what you were doing during the game.

565
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: But all right, my man, how about that? I was

566
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: very enjoyable. All right, well listen, thank you, John, you've

567
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: called you call again. You're actually caller. We're not used

568
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: to that, so call anytime. Okay, yes, all right, thank

569
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: you John. There's John from Atlantic Check.

570
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 6: And would intentional fouls at the end of a basketball

571
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 6: game be the closest thing to that.

572
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 7: Uh well, like a hack a shock? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

573
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 7: but they didn't. They they changed that rule too. They

574
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 7: did tweak that in basketball.

575
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: I was at when Shaq played the Pacers in the

576
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: NBA Finals and they those games looked like there was

577
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: like three hours because they face just kept fouling Shaquille

578
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: O'Neal in the NBA Finals And uh yeah, that's actually

579
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: not a bad call. That's about the equivalent. Didn't they

580
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 1: put a rule and you can't do it in the

581
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: final couple of minutes, right, isn't there a rule? Yeah? Yeah,

582
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: something like it was in within the last I want

583
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: to see five to ten years they put a rule

584
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: into to penalize you if you foul, you know, in

585
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: the final cold miss. Let's go to Jim in Nolins.

586
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: What's going on? Jim Welcome? You're on the Ben Malor

00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: there in the eighteenth inning. What's going on? Jim? Welcome?

590
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 5: Some first time Colera. Appreciate you taking my call. I

591
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 5: was actually going to bring up something about the cheating,

592
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 5: you know, the that controversy.

593
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: Now, now, which which version of cheating? Are you talking

594
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: about baseball cheating? You're talking about gambling cheating?

595
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 5: Gambling cheating, especially with basketball. I work on Drillian Riggs, Okay,

596
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 5: And one job I was on, I was working with

597
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 5: a geologist. They call him a mudlogger. He constantly was

598
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 5: on the phone betting with his bookie on football games.

599
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: Now.

600
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 5: He was also a Big twelve referee for basketball.

601
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: Is that right?

602
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 5: But one day I just asked him saying, hey, how

603
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 5: much would the cops throw a game, he said, five

604
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 5: hundred and five thousand, without even without any hesitating. It

605
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 5: depends on the game.

606
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: Wow, are you sure?

607
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no problem.

608
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 5: Now this is seven years ago, says the spices are

609
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 5: probably higher. But he's like, look, it happens. You could

610
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 5: you see those back calls a lot of times. It's true.

611
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 5: It's it's because of the reason. He goes, Look it's done.

612
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 5: It's not just me. This is quite a bit of

613

729
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: Here we go.

730
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 2: Come. This is one big gets grilled.

731
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 6: During yesterday's show, you said Drake May was not yet

732
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 6: a legit MVP contender.

733
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: Whoever?

734
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 6: Colts quarterback Daniel Jones believes that his running back, Jonathan

735
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 6: t Taylor is ben What do you think?

736
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 3: No?

737
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: You downgrade? Taylor's been great. He's a running back, and

738
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: by default, running backs don't win the MVP. Maholmes is

739
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: now your favorite to win the MVP. It's going to

740
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: be a quarterback. It's going to be a quarterback. He'll

741
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: get some token votes Jonathan Taylor, but not enough to win. Next.

742
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 6: MVP is an award that's getting a lot of discussion.

743
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 6: But who do you think the front runner? The front

744
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 6: runner is for Coach.

745
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: Of the Year. Well, you talked about the COLTSKOOPLEUPI. The

746
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: formula is rather simple. When you have a team that

747
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 1: was supposed to be mediocre or suck and they overachieved,

748
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: Shane Stike and the coach of the Colts has to

749
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: be the favorite for Coach of the Year honors at

750
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: this point, because Daniel Jones I thought was going to

751
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: be horrific, he's not. He's a top ten quarterback. So

752
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: Shane Styke is going to get the credit next.

753
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 6: Kellen Moore decided to bench quarterback Spencer Ratler late in

754
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 6: the game on Sunday and go with rookie I don't

755
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 6: even know how to pronounce his name, Tyler Shu shuck

756
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 6: is pronounced. It's so weird with the hosts of Louisville. Yeah,

757
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 6: the hopes of providing a spark, it didn't. But Ben,

758
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 6: at this point, is there any reason to go back

759
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 6: to Ralgh.

760
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: So it's like deciding whether you want the firing squad

761
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: of the electric chair. Either way, the outcome is going

762
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: to be the same. There is no good choice here.

763
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.

764
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 6: How did we know.

765
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I passed.

766
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 3: I
