On Episode 991 of Hittin' Season, powered by WHYY, the Good Phight's John Stolnis, Justin Klugh of Baseball Prospectus and editor of SABR's Baseball Research Journal Liz Roscher offer their predictions on what Dave Dombrowski will do at the Trade Deadline this Thursday. Relievers? Bats? Both? Neither? Also, Bryce Harper goes nose-to-nose with Rob Manfred in a heated clubhouse meeting over a potential salary cap, and we recap a mostly good series in the Bronx and a bad start to their series in Chicago Monday night. Takeaways The Phillies are struggling to maintain consistent performance, especially against weaker teams. JT Real Muto's resurgence has significantly improved the Phillies' lineup. The trade deadline is approaching, and the Phillies need to prioritize bullpen help. Bryce Harper's vocal stance against a salary cap highlights player concerns about management's intentions. The dynamics between players and management are tense, especially with Rob Manfred's recent actions. The potential trade market is thinning, making it harder for the Phillies to acquire top talent. Players are increasingly aware of the economic challenges facing baseball and are willing to fight for their rights. The role of former players in management can complicate relationships with current players. The Phillies' management must balance short-term needs with long-term player development. The upcoming trade deadline could significantly impact the team's playoff chances.

Building HVAC Science - Building Performance, Science, Health & Comfort
In this episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast, hosts Bill Spohn and Eric Kaiser sit down with two passionate leaders from the GRIT Foundation—Executive Director Leilani Orr and Head of Training Ty Branaman. Together, they unpack the origin story, purpose, and transformative impact of GRIT Camps, which introduce youth to the skilled trades in immersive, hands-on ways. The conversation explores how GRIT—which stands for Growth and Resilience in the Trades—isn't just a clever acronym but a mindset. Through personal stories, Leilani and Ty reflect on the deeper "why" behind the camps: fostering curiosity, building confidence, and instilling pride in practical skills that often go unrecognized. They discuss how using tools like the Socratic method not only helps students learn but transforms mentors as well—often reigniting their passion for the trades. You'll hear about real-life transformations: timid students who become torch-wielding creators, mentors discovering new ways to engage, and parents witnessing their children light up with newfound purpose. As a pending nonprofit, the GRIT Foundation is fueled by heart, vision, and a small but mighty network of supporters—with hopes of expanding nationwide through thoughtful partnerships. “If I can do this, anybody can do this. I don't want to be the guy—I want to be the guy helping other people become the guy.” – Ty Branaman “We're not recruiting kids into the trades—we're fostering curiosity and confidence in whoever they want to become.” – Leilani Orr “What you're doing is important because it touches your heart—or brings a tear to your eye.” – Bill Spohn The Grit Foundation: https://www.thegritfoundation.com/ Leilani's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leilani-orr-5a0948343/ Ty's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ty-branaman-cmhe-07604a33/ Bryan Orr's book, Unconfomed: An Unbound and Unbridled Path to Unstuck Growth: https://a.co/d/9zMmSmQ This episode was recorded in July 2025.
