Breaking ball and a call. Strike three. Third strike out for Zach. He's going to just watch it go. A grand slam for Bryson Stott.

And there's a high fly ball. Deep right field. Huffer watches it fly.

From W.HYY and Billy Penn, it is hitting season.

Hey there, podcast, pals.

I'm John Stolness from The Good Fight and Billy Penn.

You can follow me on X at John Stolness.

Coming up, we're going to talk a little bit more about the hot stove as the GM meetings are in full swing,

getting some little bits and pieces of rumors about what the Phillies might be doing during these GM meetings, laying the groundwork for the later meetings to come here in December at the winter meetings.

But we'll talk about the different possibilities, a little bit about the trade market for the Phillies as we get the hot stove fully cranked up here.

And we're going to talk to Anthony S. Benson of the Good Fight, one of my colleagues, one of the fine writers we've got over at the Good Fight.

He has a 6,000-word off-season primer compendium that every Phillies fan should check out.

It basically lays it all out what the Phillies are going to be doing, what they have, and some of the things that are going to be on the radar.

So it's a great one-stop shop the good fight.com has you covered there.

So we're going to have him on here in just a couple of minutes to talk about all that.

Should be a nice full episode here of Hitting season.

Just want to remind you to check out our hit and season landing page over at billypen.com. Those are our fantastic content partners

along with W.HYY. And if you haven't been checking out some of the other day WHYY

podcasts, I want to ask you to go over to Apple Podcasts or Spotify and just do a search on

WHOYYY and see what they've got. It's a lot of great stuff. And you're going to check, you're going to be happy that you did once you're over there. And if you're on Apple podcast,

then you happen to spot your old pals at Hitting Season there and you want to leave a five-star

rating and a review. That would be most welcome to. All right, let's talk about the GM meetings down, I don't even know where, I was going to say down in Clearwater, but they're not down in Clearwater.

I have no idea where the GM meetings are being held right now, and it doesn't really matter.
