Breaking ball and a cold, 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. Hopper watches it fly!

From W.HYY and Billy Penn, this is Hittin season of Philadelphia Phillies podcast.

My name is Justin Clue. I write for baseball prospectus. With me as my co-host, Liz Rocher.

And a little later, we're going to talk to Los Angeles Times Dodgers beat writer Jack Harris about the Dodgers and the series they're going to play against the Phillies in the coming week.

But for now, Liz?

Hello, Justin.

We are unfortunately without John Stoleness.

He is unavailable tonight.

And also unavailable was the Phillies offense for the last two games of this series in Atlanta.

The Phillies lost two games at Truest Park in Cobb County.

They've got more All-Stars than ever in their history.

And worse, just the worst news of all,

Braves' mascot blooper is still walking around alive.

Just a real unfortunate end to the weekend in Atlanta for the Phillies.

But hey, you know.

Not assassinated, unfortunately.

With as many hours that have passed since the end of game three,

in which the Phillies were shut out for only the third time this season,

I feel like the news that they have a crew of, yes, seven All-Stars headed to Texas coming weekend for the All-Star game, or next week for the All-Star game.

Yeah, I think that did something to calm people's nerves and also just accept that these were two losses.
