Hittin' Season: A Philadelphia Phillies podcast WHYY

On Episode 807, John Stolnis of The Good Phight and BillyPenn.com opens up the Hittin' Season mailbag, grouses about Rob Thomson's lineups for Tuesday and Wednesday night's losses to the Reds, as well as yet another seemingly endless slump by Nick Castellanos.

On Episode 806 of Hittin' Season, John Stolnis of The Good Phight and Baseball Prospectus' Justin Klugh discuss the Phillies' 7-game winning streak following their win Monday night over the Reds. Justin & John analyze the win streak, the outstanding starting rotation and the waking bats with a NEW segment called "BULL or BOWA?" Plus, thoughts on the future of umpiring in MLB given some disastrous performances by the dudes calling the balls and strikes.

On Episode 805 of Hittin' Season, hosts Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher go down the Phillies' struggling batting order and talk about who is doing their job, who is still scuffling, who is perhaps starting to turn a corner--and why.

Host John Stolnis recaps the Phillies' three-game sweep of the Rockies, lauding the starting pitching, with special bouquets thrown to Ranger Suarez. Plus, former 94 WIP afternoon host Jon Marks joins the show for his thoughts on the pitching, the bats breaking out, the future of Nick Castellanos and what lies ahead for the Phils.

Presented by WHYY & BillyPenn.com, hosts John Stolnis of The Good Phight, Justin Klugh from Baseball Prospectus and Liz Roscher of Yahoo! Sports break down the Phillies' disappointing weekend against the Pirates, Zack Wheeler's rough 6th-inning Sunday, silent bats, bad defense, and a .500 baseball team being saved by good pitching. April Phillies will drive you crazy.

On Episode 802 of Hittin' Season, hosts Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher laud the Phillies' starting rotation for its MLB-best numbers and discuss the merits of "fixing" the Phillies' free-swinging offensive approach... or letting them off the leash.
