Hittin' Season: A Philadelphia Phillies podcast

In the latest episode of Continued Success, Justin and Liz join the worlds that they typically straddle: 2009 and 2019. The ‘09 Phils were stalling around this time ten years ago, about to break loose. We can only assume the ‘19 squad’s got similar plans. But in the meantime, who, they ask, could be plucked from that 2009 roster, dragged through the flow of space in time, and placed—likely vomiting from the trauma—into the lineup, rotation, or bullpen today and make the most immediate impact?

The month of June has been an ugly one for the Philadelphia Phillies. On Episode 296 of "Hittin' Season," host John Stolnis talks with Kevin Cooney of The Philly Voice and Forbes about the state of the team as they fall farther out of first place in the NL East.

On June 1, 1923, the Phillies made a little history, which is to say, they were made a part of a little history: For the first time in the 20th century, a team (the Giants) scored in every inning of a baseball game, bashing the Phillies 22-8, thanks in part to both the offensive contributions of Jimmy O'Connell, a hot young prospect with a worm in his gut, and Jesse Winters, a Phillies hurler who just stopped caring. Also: Just how in the heck hard was it to get a bowl of warm soup in Philadelphia in 1923? Apparently, harder than you'd think.

On Episode 293 of "Hittin' Season," hosts John Stolnis and Justin Klugh recap the Phils' series against the Cincinnati Reds. It was a series win, but after a tough loss in the finale, the Phillies failed to sweep a team after leading late, and some decisions by Gabe Kapler will undoubtedly stir some debate. Also, can the Phillies get an impact starting pitcher without giving up their few good prospects, and should they? And remembering our favorite Phillies comebacks of all time, with the memories of the 1989 Steve Jeltz game fresh in our minds.

Also, thoughts on The Opener, Nick Pivetta and a maddeningly inconsistent Phillies offense. Could more changes be coming? The Phils trade for Jay Bruce, Dallas Keuchel & Craig Kimbrel's markets are heating up and trade season is going to come quicker than usual this year. Who might the Phils be interested in?
