  • Great podcast - a couple criticism though

    Good stuff but Mal needs a better microphone and whoever’s phone keeps ringing needs to turn it off for the duration of the podcast

  • Great content but awful audio

    Content is great but the audio on Mal is dreadful with random delays mid sentence. Also on the latest episode someone had notifications on so there were loud ‘pings’ constantly. I had to turn it off. If they could fix the audio & know to turn off notifications when recording it would be a lot better.

  • Griff and Mal

    Delightfully in-depth analysis of baseball, people, and family.

    Authentic, with tremendous range, they go back and forth down memorable lanes.

    Listen. If you love this stuff, you’ve arrived at the destination.

Blue Jays Wild Card Push: Are They Emerging as the Team to Beat? | Keegan Matheson Joins Exit Philosophy
Q: What do you think of the lack of transparency that the Blue Jays and baseball have in terms of when players are struggling or when they are expected back?
