Summary

On Episode 664 of Hittin' Season, host John Stolnis recaps a fun couple of games against the Toronto Blue Jays to finish up the Interleague homestand, including outstanding performances by Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, the bullpen and Nick Castellanos. Also, Jose Alvarado hits the injured list, but it could have been a lot worse, the Phillies are heading to London next year, and WHYY's Avi Wolfman-Arent joins us to talk about making room for the Phillies as the city is obsessed with the 76ers, which Phillie he'd most want to have a beer with, and whether John Middleton's claims that injuries are the reason for the team's slow start are valid.
