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

Swam on, get it, cross, and the Phillies are going to lead it.

Harper, the swing of his life.

The O-2 pit, swing and a miss, struck him out.

From W.HY,, welcome to your Friday edition of Hittin Season, a Philadelphia Phillies podcast.

I'm Justin Clue. I write for baseball prospectus, and I'm the author of Summer of the Cheap Wieners,

what the 1941 Phillies were doing while Joe DiMaggio was making history.

This week, actually, over on baseball prospectus, I have a story both on the rats they found at Angel Stadium and the history of that situation.

As well as another feature that will be going up soon on a baseball field in, where was it, Ohio that was famous for not allowing home runs.

So that was a fun story I came across this past week that will be on baseball prospectus in the next few days as well. I'm joined as always by Liz Rocher, the editor of Sabres Baseball

Research Journal. Hello, Liz.

Hello, hello, Justin.

It's been a nice week of baseball, hasn't it?

A very nice, pleasant week of baseball.

I got to say, I don't want to be a guy who talks about the weather,

but this has been the most pleasant weather in spring.

I feel like we've had it maybe 20 years.

I think it's largely like wet and cold and just late, like winter, extra winter.

Most of the time, there's storms and wind and all kinds of.

This year it has just been beautiful, perfect baseball weather, where we are anyway.

And, yeah, I honestly can't complain.

No, me either.
