Hittin' Season: A Philadelphia Phillies podcast

The Phillies were eliminated from the postseason in the NL Wild Card round, forcing but ultimately a third game with their victory in game two. The offense was poor, the pitching didn't hold up, and changes are about to hit this team like a sack of bricks. Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher work through some thoughts.

Following the heroics of Game 2 of the NL Wild Card series between the Phillies and Braves, the two teams will meet for a do-or-die, winner-take-all Game 3 on Thursday. On the latest Hittin' Season, John Stolnis, Liz Roscher and Justin Klugh discuss the unreal events of Game 2, discussing Bryce Harper's redemption, Andrew Painter's coming of age moment, Alec Bohm's heroics and much more! Also, they touch on the rough Game 1 loss and what's ahead for Game 3.

Well, they did it. They almost blew it but, thanks to their win over the Rays on Sunday, the Phillies made the playoffs for the 5th season in a row. On this episode of Hittin' Season, John Stolnis of The Good Phight, Justin Klugh of Baseball Prospectus and Liz Roscher, editor of SABR's Baseball Research Journal, discuss the team's near collapse, their encouraging win on Sunday, and what it all means as they prepare to take on the Braves for a best-of-three wild card series as the underdogs in Atlanta.
