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.HY and Billy Penn, it is hit in season.

Coming up, we're going to talk about this Philly's Blue Jays quick two game series at Citizens Bank Park.

The Phillies split the two games, winning the first one,

and ending their long home winning streak in losing the second game on Wednesday. We'll also

take a look at this 2024 start and compare it to some other great starts the Phillies have gotten

off to. Trey Turner, is he going to get Kevin Longfired? Not for the reasons you might think,

but he has become the hitting guru for the Phillies. We'll talk about that story coming up in just a couple of

minutes. And also I'll give you a Phillies versus Marlins preview. And I've got some thoughts on what's

going on down there in Miami. So I'll share all of those with you coming up here on this edition

of hitting season. Let's jump right in.

The Phillies on Wednesday lose five to three.

Really, the Phillies have been playing some great, exciting baseball as of late, even in the blowouts.

Man, this game on Wednesday was an absolute snore fest, maybe the worst game of the season,

not in that the Phillies got blown out, just that it was dreadfully boring.

And that really has to do with the single worst pitcher to watch in baseball.

That's Chris Bassett.

Do you remember Chris Bassett when he was with the Mets all those years? And Bassett has always kind of had this team's number.
