Stairs, rips one into the night, deep into right, way out of here.

From W.HY, 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 Phillies. I mean, it's what we do here every week. On the roundtable, we talk about the Phillies. We talk about this baseball team, and I don't know how many of you want to listen. Some people love to hate listen when the team is going bad, and I'm with you on that. I do too. I think this is a good place for us all to gather together to share our feelings about the baseball team that we had high expectations for coming into the season. And so far here in April, definitely the Phillies falling on their faces so far.

But we will get into the Brave series. We're going to talk about Rob Thompson's comments after the game.

Article by Ken Rosenthal from The Athletic out here on Monday talking about Thompson and a couple other managers already, possibly potentially on the hot seat and what could happen after that.

But we will also. I heard Justin and Liz dipped in on the Mets a little bit on the last podcast. The woes continue in New York. I mean, it's hard to really enjoy it right now with what's going on in Philadelphia. But we'll talk about the Mets as well. Lots of stuff to get to here on this roundtable edition of the podcast. I'm joined by Justin Clue and Liz Rocher, of course. Liz Rocher is the editor of Sabres baseball research journal. You can follow her on X and Blue Sky at Liz Rocher. Liz, how you doing on a Monday? I'm doing my best not to think about the Phillies. And this whole podcast thing is really, really putting a damper on that. It's getting in the way. It's getting in the way of ignoring the Phillies. this whole podcast thing is really really putting a damper on that it's getting

in the way it's getting in the way of ignoring the Phillies it really is yes and honestly if that's

what you have to do right now do it i have to do it sometimes some moments some entire days of this

weekend yeah everybody needs a little brain cleanse yeah it's a cleanse it's like doing, no doubt about it. But not for the next hour or so. They are toxins and we must get rid of them. That's right. Right now they are. That is 100% the case. Justin Klu from baseball perspective is also with us here on the round table. You can follow him on Blue Sky at Justin Klu. Justin also hosts a couple of Phillies podcasts over at the Patreon, absolutely hammered and The Dirty Inn. He's also the author of the book over my shoulder right here, Summer of the Cheap Weeners. You can get that at brooklinebooks.com. Justin, your intro gets longer every episode, but I'm happy to do it. How are you, buddy? Not nice. Yeah. I can't remember the last time, let's go Flyers chant broke out out of Phillies game. Oh, yeah. Here we are. It might have been in the 70s. Late April. And Philly's got two playoff teams, and Phillies don't look like one of them yet.

Well, it needs to do the Sixers, to be fair.

To be fair.

Yeah, anybody watched that game.

Good Lord.

Yeah.

Yeah, so hot moment right now.
