Hey guys, I'm looking for mailbag questions for tonight's Hittin' Season episode. If you've got any Phils/MLB questions, please send 'em my way ASAP!
Cristopher Sanchez may not have passed Orel Hershiser's legendary 59 straight scoreless innings, but he did something no left-handed pitcher has ever done.

They're 2nd worst in AVG and dead last in on base percentage. It's both historically bad and currently bad.
The Phillies, as a team, are hitting .224 through their first 59 games.
It is the LOWEST batting average through their first 59 games of a season in FRANCHISE HISTORY (final record in parenthesis).
2026: .224 (TBD)
1941: .226 (43-111)
1970: .228 (73-88)
1961: .230 (47-107)
1971: .230 (67-95)
By the way, if you want to know a LOT about the 1941 team this year’s Phillies just bumped down the list, buy my friend @justinklugh.bsky.social's book!
The Phillies' offense is off to their worst start since the 111-loss 1941 Phillies. Yep, it's really that bad.

Cristopher Sanchez is making history, doing stuff no Phillies pitcher has done in 115 years. His rise from a non-prospect to one of the best pitchers in MLB is unreal.

Is Brandon Marsh an All Star?
The numbers scream YES, but it's a crowded NL outfield and fans are likely to vote in less deserving starters. Can Marsh make the cut? We discussed on an all NEW Hittin' Season! @justinklugh.bsky.social @lizroscher.bsky.social

Will Brandon Marsh be one of the Phillies' All Stars next month? @justinklugh.bsky.social @lizroscher.bsky.social and I think he SHOULD, but it might be tough!
