On Episode 787 of Hittin' Season, host John Stolnis of The Good Phight reacts to one national baseball writer's prediction the Phillies will beat the Yankees in the World Series and runs down his reasons why they will, too. Also, the Phils' bats are off to a slow start this spring, is it a concern? And we take a closer look at the schedule and why a fast start is important this season. Plus, we continue to take a tour around the NL East with Kevin Barral, reporter for Fish on First talking about the Marlins' off-season and whether they have the pieces to build off last season's surprise playoff appearance.
