Playball! It's our number two. Our number two. A comedy. A comedy of errors from Major League Baseball. Now, Team USA did advance. The big story here is the top picture for the Detroit Tigers who made a token appearance at the World Baseball Classic and is getting killed for it. Where are you at on Tiger's Ace, Terrick's School Bulls saying it's just not fair. That he's getting criticized for throwing 40 pitches and saying, get out of here, guys. I'm leaving. Get out of here. See you by it. Also, is it true that all the hate, all this hate, directed at Terrick's School Bull for quitting on Team USA will backfire for Major League Baseball fans. We'll take a look at that.

And where are you at on Major League Baseball's vanishing act with Mark Derosa's clueless comments which MLB put on their website and then deleted and then got called out for it and put it back on. We'll put that under the Malor microscope. Here it is, our number two plus the nominees, the final nominees for the Benny Awards this hour. You're not supposed to be me to me. Why are you beating me to me? Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. We are in the air and the re-wear. Shoulder to shoulder. As we explore the cosmos, our voice heading out deep in the Milky Way into the heavens. As we are here one and all. Coast to coast, border to border

So our lead this hour is from baseball. Now, Team USA did not play on Wednesday night. They did not, but yet still the World Baseball Classic is our

lead. And thanks to the help from the Italians. Team USA has advanced into the next round of this man-made global tournament for Major League Baseball. Now, one of the big storylines from this hoot nanny involves someone who has already quit the World Baseball Classic and that would be Detroit Tigers ace Terrick Scoobal. A man who's on the brink of a gigantic, ginormous payday as he's heading into his lame duck year. And he will be a free agent at the end of the season. So Terrick Scoobal has responded to the many critics who have called him out for quitting on Team USA during the World Baseball Classic. He made a token appearance at the World Baseball Classic and has already returned to Tigers camp in the

grapefruit league. Made one start. Now, did you hear what he had to say? No, okay, maybe not. Scoobal got up on the bully pulpit, on the bully pulpit and said it's just not fair in reference to the many who are drinking Hater Raid on behalf of Scoobal. But that's part of the business. Quote continues. It's part of the game. If they know me, though then they know me on a personal level and they know what my peers think of me, I don't think it's fair to say those things. Close Quote. Okay, so the old, hey, they know me on a personal level. How on God's green earth would any fan know a athlete on a personal level? It's so stupid. Like, God, are you a country bumpkin?

All right, that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Where are you at on the Tigers A's Terex Scoobal saying that it's just not fair boo-hoo, it's just not fair but moving the world baseball classic team U.S.A. squad after one appearance. So my observations, I've got Sovereign Nation, Rhino, and Ronald McDoddell, and we will combine all of these things together and we are going to move off campus is what we're going to do off the campus of the Malamalusia Salt. Say it with me now. Number one. Number one. So Terrick's schoolable sounds like he's living in a bubble and it's possible he is he's very wealthy He's gonna make a lot more money and he just lives insulated from everything and the tigers have been pretty irrelevant for a while I know recently they've had some decent teams, but for a long time the tigers were just a spam team that people played

So the grumbling is a bit much The grumbling is a bit much so leave tiger town. Let me stamp your passport I would like to stamp the passport of Terrick's schoolable and we would like to welcome the Detroit Tigers ace to my Sovereign nation. I am the supreme leader of realityville and now as the supreme leader and overlord of Realityville, let me teach you the ins and outs So it is absolutely fair. In fact, it is more than fair. It is required in fandom it is required It is schoolable needs a wake-up call right need some smelling salts here and just get a little whiff Of reality This guy threw 40 pitches That's it that's a 40 40 pitches in his one start not exactly an iron man. This wasn't a buy-in And this was part of my argument. I talked about that

I wasn't that in the whole world baseball classic and all that and I was like well, this is a great example This is this is a guy that just said hey, it's not that big a deal if it was that big a deal You would have pitched more now I get it. I don't think it's that big a deal either I've been watching and some of it's been fine, but it's listen if you agree This is a problem that schoolable doesn't understand If you agree to paint my house All right, you agree to paint my house and you come over you got you got your truck you got your paint You get all your supplies everything right all the stuff that you need to paint You come to my house. I was okay. I want you to paint my house All right, I'll paint your house and you paint the front door of my house Then you pack up all of your paint all of your supplies, put it all back in your truck and Drive off into the wild blue yonder I don't care how busy you are you didn't do the job and and scoobal thought and this is the the arrogance of

Terrick Terrick school, but he thought he could wrap himself in the flag This is the hubris. I'm gonna wrap myself in the flag make a token appearance and get pats on the back and way to go Yeah, I would recommend That scoobal while he is lounging in the grapefruit league before the season starts in a couple weeks Get the reading rainbow because you clearly misread the room you misread the room and he then has the hootspa the audacity To blame the tigers he claims he he wanted to pitch more and it just didn't work out and he really wanted to do it It wouldn't let me With the tigers in my age. Yeah Yeah, so I that's what he says you saw it. He said it. I didn't make that up police come on really like

Let me explain something here and I haven't had many agents I've had an agent a couple times. They were terrible one guy even quit. I'm like I probably heard the show but scob Boris who Is the agent he works? Under the client the agent client relationship It's not the other way around I think scoobal is pretending like he's this damsel in distress this helpless victim And only dingleberries Would would believe that It's the good cop bad cop the agents always I'll be the bad cop you be the good cop blame me blame me I'm the guy blame me it was a business decision Every man woman in child understands it was a business decision He wanted to make sure that he could secure the bag he if he was going to get hurt He wanted to get hurt on company time not on world-based ball classic time and so fine But just admit it right don't play us for fools

Is it uh My agent wouldn't let me in the tiger. You know you you let your agent dictate the decision You could have put your foot down you chose not to do it So don't play stupid all right now page two keeping this going though the question now is it true Is it true that all the hate online directed at tarot school for quitting for quitting team USA Will actually backfire on the majorly baseball fans So I'm going to nod my head yes on this I'm nodding my you can't see me unless you're watching on YouTube I'm closing my eyes and nodding my head yes Repeatedly over and over okay. It's like a neck massage Uh now as a distant relative of no Stradamus and friend of no Stradinus will former friend former friend until the Super Bowl We have seen The future we have seen the future One of the great sous-sayers of our time

So all of that vitriol all that hater raid all those nasty posts online people calling radio shows You're on american you're a turncoat all of that That is fuel that is jet fuel You take that online hate half a witch is probably bots anyway It's just bot army over from mouth over And okay, so you got bots you got there's some real people in there and just let that bake in the sun Let that get really Crusted from the sun and it hardens up it forms this very thick Unpenetrable Rhino skin get that rhino skin and scuba is gonna need it. He he's gonna have to fuel that Gulfstream And here's why because he eventually After this season will test the free agent market and he'll sign one of those monster Eight-year 640 million dollar contracts with the LA Dodgers

And he'll then be paid out What 80 million a year most of it deferred last check will come in on the 350th anniversary in a hundred years of the United States And that'll be that and you know how the Dodgers operate the criticism that scuba is getting here And all that That's just a preview of coming attractions. It's a light sprinkle Compared to the burn baby burn if you end up signing with the Dodgers not final point Staying with baseball So there's still some noise about mark the rosa I want to get back into this the nonsense and the reason I want to get into this and it's still got legs is because of a stunt That majorly baseball pulled And I'm a little taken aback by this because it's been this way for at least 17 or 18 years if not longer if not longer in my book in my book So majorly baseball pulled the clip where mark the rosa famously said

prematurely the team USA had punched its world baseball classic quarter-final ticket And so they they pulled that and then Surprise it was back Now thanks again to the Italians the USA did advance to the quarter-final however And the rosa's team he rested some people and they looked some of those guys looked like they may or may not have been hung over hung over and went out there and lost to a underman the team representing Italy and so That stunt That stunt my majorly baseball to try to pull the thing and and everything here that that's what it was talking. I'll say oh my god This is MLB's website and this is what they did so the question Where are you at on majorly baseball's now you see it now you don't vanishing act with mark neurosis clueless comments So when I saw

This and I'm not a consumer of MLB.com. I very rarely go there. I just it's not that I I hate it I just not in my rotation of things to look at it's kind of been running on fumes. So When I saw this I was like well, that's like it's like a frat house prank You know, I was like let's go out and steal the Ronald McDonald statue At Mickey D's and we'll put it in the dorm and then we'll take selfies with it And then when the campus police show up, we'll sneak it back and pretend nothing happened What nuts? What we didn't do it and now the media a lot of these media elites are outraged I can't believe that major league baseball The bastion of baseball journalism would do this and then delete it and yeah So I say well, is this is just the great awakening Are we looking at the great awakening is this now where people realize that NFL.com MLB.com NBA.com are just PR people

No chance No chance. This is the great awakening. This is just a blip MLB media is run by MLB It's been that way since the very beginning. It's state funded media with a baseball logo on it It's rainbows and lollipops What did you think you were going to get at MLB's website a blizzard and a cocktail of bleach? Come on When he's not prancing around playing manager in the dugout for team USA marked the rosa works for MLB network Hmm things that make you go Hmm, they're all sleeping in the same bed. They're sharing the same pillow and You're shocked that the coverage is Softly makes soft and Keep in mind that it is state sponsored journalism and the blueprint Has been around since the late 90s. I was told I've talked about this in the past I was told by somebody that worked for a majorly baseball team that this was the vision There was a time when there were a bunch of these things called newspapers

And they all had a couple beat riders that covered the hometown team and they were critical and all that And the people that baseball said this guy said this our plan is we're gonna have in on 20 years We are going to have people just feeding out of the palm of our hand And while the older generation might not buy into it future generations That's all they're gonna know and those just believe anything we tell them and sure enough It's been over 20 years. It's been close to 30 years now and That a conversation one of the most memorable conversations that I've had That long-term vision board of major league baseball has become reality control the message Massage the fans and then hope that nobody notices the strings on the puppet All right, the strings on the puppet and for the most part it's work We have the younger generation of fans. It's all they know. They've been indoctrinated in that. They don't know any better So I can't rip them. That's all they know. They like it raw raw team way to go. We So exciting. Yeah, that's what they want. That's what they want

So that's what baseball's website gives them and so anything negative It's kind of make it go away You know if a star player gets caught up in a gambling operation Just don't talk about it or just a downplay You know there are some of these doing a line of coke off of strippers act ask just don't talk don't bring it up You know, let's leave it alone, you know that kind of thing Anyway, it is the the bedmatter show As we roll on here through the overnight hours whistling in the dark just whistling in the dark We we have some more nominees.
