Hittin' Season: A Philadelphia Phillies podcast

On Episode 318 of Hittin' Season, host John Stolnis talks about this week's series against the Atlanta Braves and whether or not GM Matt Klentak regrets not pursuing Dallas Keuchel as a free agent this summer. Also, Sirius XM's Mike Ferrin, host of Power Alley and pre and post-game host for Arizona Diamondbacks radio joins us to talk about the Phils' 2019 season, the NL Wild Card race and the race for MVP in the National League. And with the return of Phils' PA announcer Dan Baker to Citizens Bank Park after missing 14 games this summer due to illness, I replay a bit of my interview with him on this podcast from Episode 9 way back in 2015.

By the end of May, the 1995 Phillies were 23-9. An inexperienced but somehow effective rotation, as well as an on-fire Jim Eisenreich, helped propel them to the top of the division. But eventually, regression comes for us all, and in mid-July, it found Eisenreich, Tyler Green, Jim Fregosi and the rest of the Phillies in Montreal--the land of dinosaur-based white collar crime around this time, apparently.

On this bonus episode of Hittin' Season, Eno Sarris, MLB writer for The Athletic, stops by to talk about the Phillies and where they stand in the NL Wild Card race. Do they have enough to make a run?

Also, we chat about whether sinkerballers are going to come back into vogue and who would win a seven-game series, the Nationals or Braves?

On Episode 316 of Hittin' Season, host John Stolnis discusses the first three games of the Phillies' series against the Cincinnati Reds. Despite winning the first two games, losing the third game behind a struggling Aaron Nola is a killer for their postseason hopes. Also, Bryce Harper is on pace to have the 2nd-best season of his career, Scott Kingery has been awesome, and Baseball Prospectus' Matt Winkelman stops by to talk about Spencer Howard and the tenure of Johnny Almaraz, who stepped down as head of amateur scouting for the Phils.

On Episode 315 of Hittin' Season, hosts John Stolnis and Liz Roscher discuss the Phillies' series against the Mets, including Sunday night's win over New York on Sunday Night Baseball. Did Gabe Kapler get away with a managing blunder? Do either of these teams deserve to be in the postseason conversation? Also, why this team is so similar to the 1979 squad that finished in 4th place, but went on to win it all the following year. And as we look ahead to September, we give our predictions on what's in store for the season's final month.

On Episode 314 of "Hittin' Season," John Stolnis recaps a weird series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, which the Phillies won, thankfully. Given all that's happened this season, have we been too hard on a team that's on pace to win 85 games and sits just a couple games outside the wild card? Also, KYW NewsRadio's morning sports anchor Dave Uram joins the show to talk about the controversial comments made by Sean Rodriguez and the confounding way Gabe Kapler benched Cesar Hernandez this week. Plus, the Phils are sending quite an intriguing contingent to the Arizona Fall League.

The Phillies dropped a seven-run lead to the last-place Marlins this weekend, something they haven't done since 2003. In 2003, it was something they hadn't done since 1979. On this episode of The Dirty Inning, we talk about what went down in both those terrible games--and how repetitive the narratives surrounding them were.
