Stairs, rips one into the night, deep into right, way out of here.

Swam on, get it, crossed, and the Phillies are going to lead it.

Harper, the swing of his life.

The O2 pit, swing and a miss, stuck him out.

From W. HYY, 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. And coming up, it is our 2026 Phillies Major League Baseball preview episode spectacular. We're going to break down who we think is going to win all the divisions. Who's going to win all the major awards? We've got some Phillies predictions in there as well.

We'll let you also know how far we think the Phillies are going to go here in 2026. And we're also going to talk a little bit about John Middleton.

John had some things to say this week about some of the changes at the ballpark. And you'd be surprised to hear probably that they were not exactly the most read the room intelligent comments

that you could possibly hear so we'll get to all that stuff here and we'll set up the fact

that it's philly's opening day coming up here on thursday at citizens bank park so lots to get to

here on this midweek roundtable edition of the podcast. Justin Clue and Liz Rocher are joining

me for this huge episode. We do every year. We've been doing it every year for like the last 10 years

doing these episodes together. And so we are ready for another Philly season, action-packed.

Will it be a championship season? Probably not, but we're going to be here for it anyway.

Justin, of course, from

baseball prospectus. You can follow him on Blue Sky at Justin Clue, and I hope by now you have

purchased Summer of the Cheap Wieners. If you missed it, The Good Fight has an article up today

about Summer of the Cheap Weeners featuring Justin's books. So make sure you check that out as well.

Justin, how you feeling, buddy? Very good. Yeah, thank you to Ethan Witte and Joe Edinger and Jared Frank

over at the Good Fight. They all were interested in reading. And yeah, I was invited to just

write a little something about the book and my motivations for it and everything. And yeah,

I haven't written for the good fight in a long time.
