Breaking ball and a call. Strike three. Third strike out 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.HYY and Billy Penn, it is hitting season.

Hey there, podcast, pals.

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

Red, October, almost here, just a couple of days until the NLDS gets underway with the Phillies.

At this recording, we still don't know if they're going to be takingLDS gets underway with the Phillies.

At this recording, we still don't know if they're going to be taking on the Mets or the Brewers because the Wild Card series continues as I'm recording here late on Wednesday night.

The Brewers with a huge comeback win over the Mets looked like it was going to be New York,

but the Brewers force a game three, which we will all be spellbound by on Thursday night watching these two teams battle it out to see who gets to come to Citizens Bank Park to start this thing on Saturday for game one, NLDS, 4 o'clock Eastern Time games one and two, Saturday and Sunday, both at 4 o'clock in Philadelphia.

So it should be a whole lot of fun.

But I'm going to kind of go over some of the wildcard series here through the first two games.

Both the American League wildcard series are over, of course, and we'll get into both the National League series as well.

Also, I'm going to talk a little bit about the Phillies and what they're doing this week, the Intrasquide Games and the Inter Squad game on Wednesday and some of the decisions they have to make with the

roster, what things they might be looking to do. They don't have to have that roster officially

set until, I think, the day of, I think until Saturday morning is when they got to have it

set. So we won't know anything for sure until then, but I think if we're reading some tea leaves here,

based on some stuff Rob Thompson said,

we might know what's going down.

So all that stuff coming up here on this edition of hitting season.
