Among 138 pitchers who have thrown at least 250 four-seam fastballs, Painter’s 2.6 inches of horizontal break is 135th, 4th-least in the sport. That's not good! Check out my analysis on an all new Hittin' Season, from @WHYY!

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!
They're 2nd worst in AVG and dead last in on base percentage. It's both historically bad and currently bad.
The Phillies are 3-9 vs. the Brewers, Braves and Dodgers this year, the 3 NL division leaders. Can they bridge the void at some point this summer? We discussed on a new Hittin' Season. @justinklugh.bsky.social

The Phillies' have their kryptonite, and it is left-handed pitching. They'll now run out an outfield of Edmundo Sosa, Derek Hill and Brandon Marsh vs. LHP. Will it work? We discussed on a new Hittin' Season, from @WHYY! @justinklugh.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!

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

The Phillies' offense is off to their worst start since the 111-loss 1941 Phillies. Yep, it's really that bad.

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.
