If the Phillies don't sign Kyle Schwarber, how good a fit is Pete Alonso? Can they sign both? We discussed on an all new Hittin' Season, from @WHYY.org. @justinklugh.bsky.social @lizroscher@bsky.social

Fans aren't the only ones frustrated at the lack of a World Series title. Bryce Harper is too. Maybe that's where much of this angst is coming from. @justinklugh.bsky.social @lizroscher.bsky.social

The Phillies are going to spend dead luxury tax money in 2026. So, let's not waste all that dead money on players like Max Kepler and Jordan Romano next year, huh? @justinklugh.bsky.social @lizroscher@bsky.social

If the Tigers shop Tarik Skubal, should the Phillies pursue and, if so, is there any price that's too high? We discussed on the latest Hittin' Season, powered by @whyy.org @justinklugh.bsky.social

What are the chances Bryce Harper is traded? On the latest Hittin' Season', we discussed a ridiculous idea that could never actually happen in real life. @justinklugh.bsky.social

At least, we don't think so.

In the 2022 and '23 playoffs, Bryce Harper as an unstoppable force. Now, he's missing 96 mph fastballs right down the middle and getting bullied at the plate in October. He's not helping. @whyy

Win. The. Next. Pitch.

That's all the Phillies should worry about as they dig out from their Game 1 meltdown against the Dodgers. From my latest Hittin' Season podcast, powered by @WHYY.ORG.

Phillies fans are keeping a close eye on NL wild card 3. Will the Mets choke? Can the upstart Reds take it? Are the Diamondbacks a wolf in sheep's clothing? @justinklugh.bsky.social @lizroscher.bsky.social

I wanted the Phillies to DFA Max Kepler at the trade deadline. Two months later, Kepler is raking and making big plays down the stretch. Time to admit... I was WRONG!

How rare was the Phillies' 1-0 shutout of the Mets last night. Pretty darn rare, so much so I got owned on X. It's not the first time.
