Stuck him out. From W.H.Y. It is hitting season. Hey there, podcast, pals. I'm John Stolness from The Good Fight. You can follow me on X and Blue Sky at John Stolness. Coming up, we're going to talk about the Phil series against the Giants. I know it's about, as we're recording this here on Friday morning, 36 hours in the rearview mirror. But we want to talk about some overarching things we saw during the Philly's West Coast road trip, specifically in San Francisco. I'm really going to talk about some overarching things we saw during the Phillies West Coast road trip, specifically in San Francisco.

Really going to talk about some offensive issues this team is having right now brutal performance by the offense,

especially over the last two days in San Francisco.

But we'll talk about some other things from the weekend.

Aaron Nola looked good, some stuff about Christopher Sanchez, and Zach Wheeler's last rehab start.

How soon is it before he comes back?

Plus, Justin Clue spoke with Nick Picoro, the Diamondbacks beatwriter for the Arizona Republic.

So we'll get a preview of this weekend series against the D-backs at Citizens Bank Park.

Now, normally you don't hear me on the Friday edition of the podcast.

Justin is away, but Liz Rocher and I are holding down the fort here for your end of week

podcast.

Liz, of course, is the editor of Sabres Baseball Research Journal.

Follow her on X and Blue Sky at Liz Rocher.

Liz, we don't normally get together at the end of the week.

So I know if it feels a little funny, it's my fault.

John, I have gotten sick just in your honor.

I have decided to make the Friday podcast even more difficult for you because I have been sick.

Please enjoy the extra responsibility. Yeah, poor Liz is

bad, but she's, you know, Liz is a gamer. You know what I mean? She's always. Yeah.

Now, Liz is like the, what was the, oh gosh, there was a baseball player, like the 90s who was always like a tryhard guy.

Like Eckstein, David Eckstein, you're like the David Eckstein of the podcast.

All right.
