On Episode 507 of Hittin' Season, host John Stolnis recaps the Phillies frustrating yet important series win over the hapless Baltimore Orioles, who the Phillies treated as the second coming of the 1969 version. No, that wasn't Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar and Dave McNally out there this week, but the Phils offense acted like they were. Thankfully, some late inning heroics from J.T. Realmuto, a timely dinger by Andrew McCutchen, and MVP play from Bryce Harper helped the Phillies avoid a season-killing disaster. The Phils now have four games against the lowly Pirates, with a trip to Atlanta & Miami to finish the season. Kris Willis of the Braves' SB Nation site Talking Chop joins the show to preview next week's big match-up and give his analysis on where things stand in the NL East with a week and a half left in the regular season.
