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. H.Y.Y and Billy Penn, it is hit in season.

Coming up on this episode of the podcast, a potential game changer in the National League East.

The Phillies top rival loses maybe their best player and certainly one of the very best

pitchers in the game.

How is that going to affect things here in what has been a very rough National League

East start for just about every team in the division?

We're also going to get into this game, this series against the Washington Nationals this weekend in the nation's capital. Phillies take two out of three. Had a chance for

the sweep on Sunday, but couldn't score enough runs. I almost said points. Like I've never

watched baseball before. You know those people who say, how many points did they score last night?

I almost ran a points thing at you. But the Phillies win two out of three.

And so a decent weekend in Washington overall. And we'll get to a few other things as well.

The Marlins and Mets will laugh at them for a few minutes too. Joining me, Justin Clue, Liz Rocher,

my good pals, co-hosts here for hit and season. Episode, this is episode number 800, by the way,

everyone. So 800 episodes

of this podcast. Of course, that's going back to 2015. So we just keep rolling right along.

John, I'm doing great. I'm excited to tell anybody who's been watching, watching this on YouTube that soon the plight of me recording from my bedroom will hopefully be over.
