Following Venezuela’s emotional 3-2 win over Team USA in the WBC, an unusual streak continues. Aaron becomes the latest Judge not to be invited to Trump’s White House. Last judge to be invited was Amy Coney Barrett in 2020. #SCOTUS #tariffs Great game. Great Tournament.

On this week’s Exit Philosophy, @mromanin and I discuss Canada’s historic WBC run to the Final 8. We talk Team USA’s close call due to Mark DeRosa’s “ticket punched” gaffe, the joy of Vlad and the Dominicans and more. Wherever you get your podcasts. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/exi…

On today's MLB transaction wire: LHP Richard Lovelady selected on waivers by Mets from Nats. Consider over the past 4 years, 4 months the former Blue Jays lefty has been signed as a free agent 7x, selected on waivers 3x, purchased once and been traded once. #freeagencyoverrated

I have not been as giddily anticipatory of two televised baseball games in one night as I am with WBC Elite 8 tonight. ❤️ Team Dominican ❤️ Team Canada… also ❤️ Team Italy.

Brendon Little was up to 98.4 mph with his new four-seamer in today's spring game. He's never thrown that hard in a regular season game and peaked at 94.6 mph last season with his sinker. #BlueJays

Canada's WBC players are all wearing hockey jerseys before their game against USA Tyler O'Neill cut the sleeves off of his (via @ShiDavidi, @thehazelmae)

José Berrios (elbow inflammation) will visit Dr. Meister on Tuesday, John Schneider says. Meister has viewed the MRI. This will be for an in-person evaluation. #BlueJays

WBC update. Canada (3-1) finishes 1st in Pool A with consecutive W’s over PR and Cuba. If Team USA (3-1) can sneak into Final 8 as a result of tonight’s Italy-Mexico game they finish 2nd in Pool B. Quarter-final game for Canada would be vs. USA. Do you believe in miracles 🇨🇦⚾️

@OrinPC No. Same results needed. THX

@RGriffBaseball I have CAN playing PR Tues and Cuba Wed. Does that change anything?

Easy update on Canada's chances in WBC. Colombia's 4-3 win vs Panama huge for CAN. Both of those teams 1-3 eliminated. If CAN beats Cuba on Tues then PR on Wed they win Pool A. If CAN beats loser of tonight's Cuba/PR they finish 2nd and advance. Canada never been to WBC Final 8.

Canada’s WBC chances: Remaining games vs PR and Cuba. Cuba yet to play PR. If Canada wins twice they win Pool A. If Canada is 2-2 but W is vs Cuba/PR loser + COL beats PAN then Canada 2nd & advances. But If PAN over COL could be 3-team tie breaker at 2-2. Just win! 🇨🇦⚾️

While the “best Team Canada ever” prepares for the WBC are they good enough to get out of the first round for first time in six attempts? On Exit Philosophy @mromanin and I talk Blue Jays decisions, handicapping the WBC and more. Wherever you get podcasts podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/exi…

Roundup of the Blue Jays week and a WBC overview with 15 Jays org players rostered open.substack.com/pub/richgriffi…

Very important spring for future of Jose Berrios and Blue Jays. Saturday in Tampa vs Yankees with Grisham-Judge-Jazz at top of Bombers order, Berrios logs 4 no-hit innings, 2 walks and 2Ks. NYY lead 1-0 T6.

@probey360 @mromanin Bassitt-Lauer-Berrios-Gausman-Scherzer 6 straight times thru 5-man rotation in that order from 7/18 to 8/19/25.

@RGriffBaseball @mromanin When was the last time the Jays' , or any, rotation went in order 10 games in a row? Load management. Hangnails. General soreness....or whatever Just have some flexibility and depth.

On Exit Philosophy, @mromanin and I discuss a Blue Jays return for Max Scherzer to crowded rotation. Does this signal move to 6-man or a trade for Jose Berrios. Is Mad Max’s value as much off the field as on the mound. This and more where you get podcasts podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/exi…
