On Episode 652 of Hittin' Season, brought to you by WHYY and BillyPenn.com, host John Stolnis takes a quick look at the first two games of the series against the Miami Marlins and the schizophrenic nature of these early-season Phils. He's joined by Fangraphs senior writer Michael Baumann for his thoughts on the Phillies' uneven start to 2023, Bryce Harper's ever decreasing timetable to return from injury, the middle inning struggles of Aaron Nola, and how MLB's new rules are affecting the game. Also, John discusses why the NL Champion rings are NOT a consolation prize, and begs the fans to stop throwing process meat onto the field at sporting events. Save it for somewhere else, like a wedding or something.
