Summary

On Hittin' Season Episode 669, hosts John Stolnis of The Good Phight, Justin Klugh from Baseball Prospectus and Yahoo! Sports' Liz Roscher recap the Phillies' weekend series against the Cubs. After a nightmarish game on Friday, the Phils found two very different ways to win on Saturday and Sunday as their Dance with .500 in 2023 continues unabated. Also, this week, the schedule gets tougher as the Phillies search for a No. 5 starter, and hope the offense can find their footing.
