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.HYY, it isY, it is Hittin season.

Hey there, podcast, pals.

I'm John Stolness from The Good Fight, and you can follow me on X-N Blue Sky at John Stolness.

Coming up.

Phillies take two out of three from the Diamondbacks, miss a chance to sweep yet again.

A little bit of a theme for the Phillies here, but they're winning series and again, some pretty good teams here over the last week and a half or so. So we're going to dive

into this Phillies Diamondback series that took place over the course of the weekend. But

obviously, you know, we're a day clear of that. We're recording Monday evening on the off day.

So we'll talk about some bigger picture stuff as well on the podcast. We'll do a little bit of nonsense at the end, too, with regards to extra innings and

rules changes that need to take place.

And a lot of different stuff we can get to here on the podcast.

I may have to offer me a couple on Max Kepler at some point here on the podcast, too.

So just so everyone's aware of the itinerary, that's part of the

roadmap tonight. Justin Clue and Liz Rocher, the roundtable with you here on this edition

of hit in season. Liz Rocher, of course, editor of the baseball research journal, follow her on

X& Blue Sky at Liz Rocher. Liz, how you feeling? Oh, I'm doing peach keene. Everything is fabulous. The Phillies aren't playing tonight, and I don't have to spend a lot of extra time worrying about them. Are they doing well? Are they doing badly? They're doing nothing. They're all in their homes. One would assume they're in their homes. Yes, that would, that's a good assumption, you know, especially the ones with the Littlins.

But I can't assume, of course, you know, Alec Boebom's a single guy.

You know, who knows what he's doing tonight.

But Justin Clue, baseball.

Famously not single.
