Stairs, rips one into the night, deep into right, way out of here. Swam on. Get it. Cross. And the Phillies are going to lead it. Harper, the swing of his life. The O2 pit, swing and a miss. Struck him out. From W. H.Y. It is hitting season. Hey there, podcast, pals. I'm John Stolness from the Good Fight.

You can follow me on X and Blue Sky at John Stolness coming up. We're getting into the hot stove now, folks.

The GM meetings are taking place in Las Vegas. We're not expecting a lot of moves to happen while GMs are meeting.

Who secretly hates Justin and everything he does.

Oh, come on.

I've been wearing that on my sleeve for a few months now, haven't I?

Come on now.

I had no idea.

Maybe I'm late to the party, but I had no idea that Major League Baseball had a lethal

enforcement squad that secretly carried out murders on behalf of MLB Commissioner. But now that

that threat is out there and its public knowledge, I'm very eager to learn more about this
