Podcasts about Hittin

On this episode of Hittin' Season, powered by WHYY, host John Stolnis of The Good Phight recaps the Phillies series against the Mariners in Seattle. The Phils lost two out of three but managed to win the get-away game on Wednesday thanks to power blasts from Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, and 7 studly shutout innings from Jesus Luzardo. John also talks about the conundrum facing Don Mattingly with regard to the slumping Trea Turner's spot in the batting order, and whether we should be overly concerned about Zack Wheeler's recent performance.

Where were you when Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies shocked the world with the team's first walk-off home run in more than three years? On this episode of Hittin' Season, John Stolnis of The Good Phight and Baseball Prospectus' Justin Klugh recap an insane Sunday comeback by the Phils against the Cardinals. They also delve into "The Phillies Phive," five big takeaways and topics from the weekend, including impressive starts from Andrew Painter and Jesus Luzardo, the offense's incredible continued transformation and the suddenly razor thin NL East standings.

For once, the Hittin' Season podcast will live up to its name. The Phils' bats broke out in sweeping the Twins in Minnesota thanks to huge weekends by first baseman Alec Bohm and third baseman Bryson Stott. On this week's edition of Hittin' Season, John Stolnis, Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher recap the series, including Andrew Painter's uneven start Sunday, Jesus Luzardo as the team's latest "ace," and answer some mailbag questions, too.

After dropping another series, this one to the Cardinals in St. Louis, the Philadelphia Phillies find themselves on the outside of the National League Wild Card race. On this episode of Hittin' Season, John Stolnis of The Good Phight breaks down the final two games of the series, Zack Wheeler's worrisome last four starts, Bryce Harper's knee, the need to put Alec Bohm on the bench and previews Thursday night's Field of Dreams Game against the Minnesota Twins in Iowa.

This week on the TABLE TALK interview podcast, Jeff sat down with John Stolnis from the Hittin' Season podcast and TheGoodPhight.com over at SB Nation for a discussion about the struggles this Phillies team continues to have after the trade deadline. While Andrew Painter has given us some optimism, what should we make of Aaron Nola from the mound at this point here in 2026? Relying on Alan Rangel out of the bullpen? Luis Arraez has been that spark the team has needed, but Alec Bohm has been nothing short of disappointing.

Luis Arraez' arrival in Philadelphia couldn't have come at a better time, playing a key role in the Phillies' series against the Washington Nationals this week. On Episode 1111 of Hittin' Season, Baseball Prospectus' Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher from SABR's Baseball Research Journal recaps the Phils' series victory over the Nats, putting the "fun" in fundamentals, Kyle Schwarber's recent slump, and the importance of Bryce Harper's move to right field.

The MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone and the Phillies made some big moves, acquiring Giants infielder Luis Arraez and relief pitcher Brooks Raley and Caleb Kilian. But was it enough to keep up with the Dodgers, Brewers, Cubs and the other top teams in the National League? On this episode of Hittin' Season, hosts John Stolnis of The Good Phight, Liz Roscher, editor of SABR's Baseball Research Journal, and Baseball Prospectus' Justin Klugh recap a wild trade deadline day, Dave Dombrowski's decision not to trade for a starting pitcher, and analyze fan reaction to the day's events. Also, some conversation about Los Angeles somehow nabbing the best starting pitcher in the sport, Tarik Skubal, over the weekend.

A 3-6 homestand against the Mets, Dodgers and Yankees is not what Phillies fans were hoping for coming out of the All Star Break. All the team's flaws were exposed. Is inconsistency in their DNA, or can they use the trade deadline to change their stripes? On the latest Hittin' Season podcast, powered by WHYY, John Stolnis of The Good Phight, Baseball Prospectus' Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher, editor of SABR's Baseball Research Journal, discuss a big week ahead for the Phillies with the trade deadline just one week away!

All the Phillies' warts were on full display during their 3-6 homestand coming out of the All Star Break against the Mets, Dodgers and Yankees. On this episode of Hittin' Season, hosts John Stolnis, Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher discuss what's most needed with one week left until the MLB Trade Deadline.

On Episode 1098 of Hittin' Season, John Stolnis of the Good Phight runs down a starting lineup of Phillies topics, 9 topics in all, for you as you celebrate the 4th of July. Happy 250th anniversary, gang!

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Rational Black Thought. I am your host, Neo Griot.This is Episode 289, released on July 4, 2026, and the title comes from “Kites” by N.E.R.D., Kendrick Lamar & M.I.A.:“Tuggin' on a string that's connected to a dream - Head-bussa, hittin' nothing, even if I gotta bleed.”That lyric is about commitment. It is about holding onto a vision even when the struggle is exhausting, even when the people standing in your way have more money, more influence, more institutions, and more weapons for distorting reality.Every generation has to decide whether the promises made in this country belong to everybody or only to the people powerful enough to define them.The Fourth of July is supposed to represent independence, self-government, and the refusal to submit to arbitrary power. But those ideals have never arrived automatically. They have always had to be fought for, expanded, defended, and dragged into reality by people the country initially tried to ignore.That is the work in front of us now.We are living through a period when facts are treated as optional, cruelty is marketed as strength, and people who want power without limits demand loyalty as though obedience were patriotism. But democracy does not belong to one party, one race, one religion, one court, or one man with a microphone.It belongs to the people willing to defend it.And sometimes defending it means holding onto a dream with blood on your hands, refusing to let go because the alternative is allowing people who do not believe in freedom to define it for the rest of us.Intro: Quote of the Week: Malcolm X Unmasking the News: Special 4th of July Story: What Is the Fourth of July to the Oppressed? Democracy Watch: A Federal Judge Slaps Trump's Hand in Mail-Voting Power Grab JD Vance, Mike Johnson, and the Fraud That Magically Disappears When Republicans Win Texas and Christian Nationalism: Bible Passages as Required Reading in School Good News: Harris-Stowe and the Infrastructure of Black Power Bible Study with an Atheist:  Did Jesus Fulfill the Old Testament, or Contradict It?

Let us know what you think!Episode OverviewHittin' the Bricks with Kathleen is the genealogy podcast that features your questions and her answers, helping researchers uncover records and historical context that bring family stories to life. In this episode, host Kathleen Brandt explores the U.S. Congressional Serial Set, one of the most overlooked resources in genealogy research.Far more than a collection of congressional documents, the Serial Set contains petitions, testimony, claims, investigations, and reports that can place ordinary Americans into the historical record. Kathleen explains how these records can help researchers discover ancestors, understand community issues, and add context to family histories that extend far beyond names and dates.In This Episode, You'll Learn What the U.S. Congressional Serial Set is and why genealogists should care about it  How digitized federal records make searching easier than ever  The types of ancestors who may appear in Congressional records  How to use the Serial Set alongside other record collections  Research strategies for finding ancestors when direct name searches fail Topics Covered The U.S. Congressional Serial Set and its genealogical value Searching digitized federal documents through govinfo.gov  Veterans, widows, petition signers, centenarians, and community advocates  Congressional petitions, testimony, claims, and investigations  Using the Serial Set as both a primary source and supporting evidence  Freedmen's Bureau records and federal documentation  Reconstruction-era records and connections to Juneteenth  Southern Claims Commission files and witness testimony  Researching formerly enslaved individuals and enslavers  Search strategies using ships, locations, organizations, and community events Episode Discussion & Key MomentsKathleen explains why many genealogists overlook the Congressional Serial Set, assuming it only contains information about elected officials and national politics. In reality, these volumes often document the lives of everyday Americans who interacted with the federal government through petitions, compensation claims, military matters, land disputes, and community concerns.The episode explores how digitization efforts have made these records more accessible and how researchers can use them to uncover details unavailable in local records. Kathleen discusses the value of combining Serial Set findings with sources such as Freedmen's Bureau records, military files, land records, and local histories.Special attention is given to Reconstruction-era documentation, including Southern Claims Commission files that contain affidavits, witness statements, and testimony from formerly enslaved individuals, enslavers, neighbors, and community members. These records can provide extraordinary context for understanding families during and after the Civil War.Key questions examined include: How can federal records help solve local genealogy problems?  What kinds of ordinary people appear in Congressional documents?  What should researchers do when a name search produces no results?  How can historical events be used to uncover hidden family connections? Resources & Research Tools Mentioned U.S. Congressional Serial Set  GovInfo.gov digital federal collections  Freedmen's Bureau records  Southern Claims Commission files  Reconstruction-era federal records  Military and pension records  Petitions, testimony, and claims documentation Why This Episode MattersMany researchers focus exclusively on local records while overlooking federal collections that document entire communities and major historical events. The Congressional Serial Set provides access to stories, claims, testimony, and evidence that can place ancestors within the broader context of American history and reveal connections that other records miss.About the PodcastHittin' the Bricks with Kathleen is the genealogy podcast that features your questions and her answers, helping listeners navigate historical records, uncover hidden sources, and understand the larger historical forces that shaped their ancestors' lives.Support the showBe sure to bookmark linktr.ee/hittinthebricks  for your one stop access to Kathleen Brandt, the host of Hittin' the Bricks with Kathleen.

Through 59 games, the Phillies are sporting their lowest batting average in franchise history and their 5th-lowest on-base percentage. How low can they go? Will it get better? On Episode 1085 of Hittin' Season, John Stolnis of The Good Phight, Baseball Prospectus' Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher, editor of SABR's Baseball Research Journal, discuss why the Phils' recent 4-2 west coast road trip to San Diego and Los Angeles felt less than great. Also, as Nick Castellanos makes his return to Philly for the first time this week, what level of booing should he expect?
