Breaking ball and a call. Strike three. Third strikeout 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.HY and Billy Penn, it is hitting season.

Coming up, Philly Spring Training Games are officially underway.

Man, we thought we had a good one ready to go on Monday.

The rain washed it away,

but we did get a look at the Phillies lineup featuring virtually all the starters. What did it look like? We'll tell you and kind of share our analysis of that, whether it actually matters

at all. Some other early spring training notes with the bench job, Weston Wilson's injury,

who might take his place on the roster?

Could they look outside the organization for some help?

We'll get an update on some of the prospects that we've seen so far.

And we'll talk a little Andrew Painter hype a bit later in the podcast as well.

Plus, the Mets, we have a Mets update for everybody.

A little tidbit of Mets news at the end of the podcast.

Sad face time for Phillies fans.

So we'll get all that here on this edition of Hitting Season.

Justin Klu from Baseball Perspectus and the Dirty Inning,
