Where were you when Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies shocked the world with the team's first walk-off home run in more than three years? On the latest Hittin' Season, John Stolnis of The Good Phight and Baseball Prospectus' Justin Klugh recap an insane Sunday comeback by the Phils against the Cardinals. They also delve into "The Phillies Phive," five big takeaways and topics from the weekend, including impressive starts from Andrew Painter and Jesus Luzardo, the offense's incredible continued transformation and the suddenly razor thin NL East standings.

Phillies fans are rejoicing after the Phils finished off a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins. Winners of six in a row, the suddenly red-hot club is inching closer to the Atlanta Braves in the NL East. Host John Stolnis of The Good Phight recaps an entertaining series, including Aaron Nola's outstanding start, Alec Bohm and Bryson Stott's star turns, a complete makeover by the Phillies offense, and why John's not concerned about Zack Wheeler's struggles. Also, we take a look around the Majors and investigate the crippling season by Cal Raleigh, Vlad Guerrero Jr.'s weird home run stat, the Brewers' 22-0 shutout win over the Mariners, and the Dodgers' sudden vulnerability.

On this episode of Hittin' Season, powered by WHYY, host John Stolnis of The Good Phight recaps the Phillies series against the Mariners in Seattle. The Phils lost two out of three but managed to win the get-away game on Wednesday thanks to power blasts from Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, and 7 studly shutout innings from Jesus Luzardo. John also talks about the conundrum facing Don Mattingly with regard to the slumping Trea Turner's spot in the batting order, and whether we should be overly concerned about Zack Wheeler's recent performance.

Finally, after five months, the Phillies and Atlanta Braves will meet again. Fresh off a 6-3 west coast road trip, the Phils return to Citizens Bank Park for a huge four-game series against the leaders of the NL East. Host John Stolnis of The Good Phight previews the upcoming series and recaps a solid week in Arizona against the Diamondbacks as well.

Four games out of the division lead, the Phillies will take on the Atlanta Braves this weekend—again—in a big series for the NL East—again—while facing Chris Sale, Tyler Mahle, and Grant Holmes. Again. Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher talk about the strengths and weaknesses of both teams and how, if winning the east is their goal, sweeping the Braves is the Phillies’ only option.
