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, it is Hittin 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.

Well, coming up, we're going to talk about these last couple games, Phillies against the Marlins,

Tuesday night and Wednesday night.

Overall, since the series started on Monday, the Phillies have taken two out of three.

It's a four-game series, so they'll look for the series win on Thursday afternoon.

We'll talk about what happened on Wednesday night, more specifically,

and how the Phillies have just been flying up the National League East standings here in the last week or so.

We'll talk about the Nick Castiano saga, him getting benched for the game on Tuesday,

and we'll talk a little trade deadline stuff as well.

We're going to take a look at what outfielders might be available at the trade deadline for the Phillies.

I know some Phillies outfielders are hitting better as of right now, but I still think it's a position that could be of interest to the Phillies at the deadline.

And so we're going to focus on some of the names that are out there that are being floated around right now for the fills.

And some interesting new names have made it to this list over the last week or so.

So we'll go over that here coming up on this edition of hit and season first, folks.

I wanted to let you know if you didn't hear the podcast I did with Justin and Liz over the weekend, the roundtable, that we are having our first hit and season tailgate of this season

this Saturday afternoon. It's going to be at 4 o'clock just ahead of the Phillies game against

the Mets at Citizens Bank Park, which is getting underway, I think, a little bit before 7 o'clock on Saturday night.
