Summary

On Episode 705 of Hittin' Season, John Stolnis of The Good Phight and Justin Klugh from Baseball Prospectus recap the disappointing Phillies-Twins series and Sunday's loss largely attributable to a home plate umpire recently called up from AAA.

And it was Alumni Weekend at CBP, who would we most want to hang out with this weekend?
