Castellano has it. And the Phillies have the National League Championship that have beaten the Padres four to three and they celebrate on their home term as the Phillies of the 2022 NLG.

From WHYY and Billy Penn, it is hitting season.

I'm your host, John Stolness, from The Good Fight and Billy Penn.

And coming up, we're going to talk about the first two games of the Phillies Brewer series,

and this red-hot baseball team of ours playing very good baseball right now,

as the trade deadline

grows ever closer. Dave Dumbrowski had some stuff to say about that. We'll talk about that

coming up in just a few minutes. Some reticence from Bryce Harper about playing first base maybe.

We'll get into that and what that means for the trade deadline. Some bad news on the Phillies

top pitching prospect and one of the best

prospects in all of baseball. Andrew Painter needs Tommy John surgery. We're going to get into that

here in just a few minutes. I'll also take some of your trade deadline proposals that you

sent in to me through the Hitting Season at Billy Penn.com email. And I'm going to talk with

Kevin Nagandi, ESPN Sports Center anchor and of course,

big time Philadelphia sports fan about all things Phillies. We'll do that coming up here on this

edition of the podcast, including our stat of the week. Let's talk about Phil's and Brewers.

First two games as I'm recording this on Wednesday night split between these two teams,

but that still means

the Phillies are 27 and 12 since June 3rd. That is the second best record in baseball. Just not the

Phillies night on Wednesday night as they fell five to three to Milwaukee. And with the way they've

been playing, I'm really going to try hard not to get upset at every single loss because they are winning so many games right now.
