S2E16 - The Vibe Has Spoken
At the time of recording, the Toronto Blue Jays have won four consecutive series so Griff and Scotty Mac do a vibe check. There's a lot to like, sure, but there are still some consequential questions that need to be answered. Jose Berrios is the early front-runner for the American League Cy Young Award; and why, exactly, is George Springer still leading off?
-
S2E15 - The Jackie Robinson Impact
The guys record on April 15th, which is Jackie Robinson Day in Major League Baseball; Griff traces Jackie's roots to the Montreal Royals, which leads to a discussion about how far the sport has come ... AND how far it still has to go. How weird a period of time is this for the Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.? Scotty Mac offers a thought on how to manage Yariel Rodriguez's availability.
-
S2E14 - The Dome Opener
Griff and Scotty Mac give their early-season assessment of the Toronto Blue Jays, including the 4-6 season-starting road trip and the tempered hoopla of what was an otherwise successful home opener. Fans showed a definite hesitance to embrace the team. Did manager John Schneider deserve to be booed? The guys give their thoughts on the centre field camera vantage point and discuss the run of pitching injuries around baseball.
-
S2E13 - The No-No Sans Bo
Griff and Scotty Mac record a day later than usual and the Toronto Blue Jays gift them a no-hitter for sure content. The guys try to separate the dismal result in one game from the bigger picture while also wondering if some concerning trends from 2023 are re-appearing early this season. The guys have early-season thoughts on the offence, defence and pitching ... and Scotty Mac doesn't want anyone giving up on a particular pitcher just yet.
-
S2E12 - The Summer Marathon Begins
Kevin Gausman impresses in Grapefruit League play, increasing the likelihood that he'll be able to make his first start of the season on time. Griff and Scotty Mac take a look at the Blue Jays' opening day bench and wonder if there could be at least one relatively quick change. Plus, the guys weigh in on the gambling scandal in Shohei Ohtani's orbit.
-
S2E11 - The Mano de Jano
Danny Jansen is injured again and Scotty Mac says if Jansen can't stay consistently healthy this season, it'll put the Blue Jays in a tough spot when Jansen hits free agency in November. Griff and Scotty Mac relive the rollercoaster ride of Joey Votto's first Grapefruit League at-bat with the Blue Jays. And in honour of St. Patrick's Day, the guys go through a list of all-time Blue Jays named ... Patrick.
Customer Reviews
Must listen for any Blue Jays/ Baseball fans
Unlike most other baseball podcast, these guys have nothing to prove. They have hands down a deeper knowledge of the game than most. Well thought out analysis and opinions, combined with quick wit and a natural report makes for one of the best Canadian Baseball podcast out there! A must listen for jays fans!
Can’t get enough of Exit Philosophy
The great duo of Scotty Mac & Richard Griffin do an excellent job covering the latest hot topics with a focus on the Toronto Blue Jays. I really enjoy their commentary and opinions, and their weekly podcast leaves me wanting more!
Insightful
Both are insightful when it comes to baseball. Scott MacArthur should stick to baseball and not politics where his opinions, of which he is entitled, are way off base (no pun intended).
