The O2 pit, swing and a miss. Stuck him out. 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 Stolmast. Coming up, we are recording on the Monday, off day, between the Atlanta Brave series, where the Phillies just lost two out of three in Atlanta, coming off a horrific road trip through Wrigley Field and Turner Field.
