call me old fashioned but I believe if you bunt a ball in the air you should go to jail

Do you love or even just like The Dirty Inning? As part of our court-suggested "outreach" initiative, we're asking for YOUR questions! Like most people, you probably have questions. No, not "Why are you doing this?" Rather, questions about the show, its content, or a recent episode. Whatever.

nothing freaks me out more about the growing anti-social future we face than seeing people drive. normal people enter an automobile and become anton chigurh

🚨NEW HITTIN' SEASON🚨 The #Phillies have the best record in the NL and are 1.5 games up in the NL East after winning the first 2 games against the #Rockies. Re-sign Schwarber now. Please. Luzardo shoves. Again. Harper & Turner. Hot. Powered by @WHYY.org.

if my team won the Super Bowl because we were so good at running the most basic play possible that they had to ban it, I would not stop talking about it until the day I died. Congratulations to Eagles fans everywhere, your team defeated football

sometimes you gut it out with the shift key because you know turning on caps lock will just cause problems downstream

Today’s Phillies game, no matter whst happens, will not be the most insane May 17th contest in franchise history x.com/franzkela/st...

An Additional Statement by the Philadelphia Phillies by Justin Klugh (@justinklugh.bsky.social) www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

No @ahpod.bsky.social this week. Chris chewed through his internet cables during Aaron Nola's start and @franzkela.bsky.social decided to walk the Oregon Trail route he walked as a young man. @lizroscher.bsky.social came on to pinch hit and then the audio was destroyed. At that point I gave up.

Ah jeez, ANOTHER statement from the Phillies? @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

(starting a constructive dialogue) Listen dumbass,

"Stay hot, right?"

Mmm. I'd like to try it one to seven more times to be sure.

So excited to share I’m joining The Athletic as a Phillies beat writer. Covering baseball full-time (and for a place like The Athletic!) is a dream come true. Immensely grateful and just excited to get working at CBP next week.

This beautiful game

We are thrilled to have master wordsmith Nick Stillman making a cameo on the site and writing about the experience of attending a game in Sacramento: www.lookoutlanding.com/2025/5/8/244...

This week on @ahpod.bsky.social, there was a lot of broadcaster-talk, Mets-laughing at, and Chris did a pretty solid impression of me. Oh, and @franzkela.bsky.social updated us on our Shittiest MLB Team Snake Draft league. I am of course winning. www.patreon.com/posts/absolu...

Your father and I are very concerned about what you've been youtubing

Hell yeah. Day Baseball. Day Baseball.

time to institute a pope clock, pick up the pace of play

At the moment, my pessimism about the #Phillies Max Kepler signing is not looking good. But I'm not mad. @lizroscher.bsky.social @justinklugh.bsky.social & I discuss his hot streak on the latest Hittin' Season, powered by @whyy.org! open.spotify.com/episode/1OtQ...

2025 NL Pitching WAR Leaders Jesús Luzardo (2.0) Freddy Peralta (1.8) Hunter Greene (1.6) Nick Pivetta (1.6) All Leaders: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/2025-pitching-leaders.shtml

Did @justinklugh.bsky.social really call the Kepler surge on the #HittinSeason podcast? Yes, yes he did! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

the Phillies won, but I'm afraid T-Mac touched the Palantir. they are not all accounted for, the lost seeing stones. we do not know who else may be watching. T-Mac is still explaining it all to Kruk.

Imagine this, but in, like, a playoff game. Impossible

when you're ready @johnstolnis.bsky.social www.mlbshop.com/philadelphia...

Cannot believe only one ex-Phillie became a Batman villain. Projections were way higher

On this week's @ahpod.bsky.social, we worked out whether or not Jeff Hoffman is still on the Phillies. The answer will not surprise you. @franzkela.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/absolu...

Artie Kay pitched with 16 other hurlers on the 1960 Miami Marlins. Fifteen of them got a major-league debut. Artie got a pat on the back. @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Imagine being lectured by RFK Jr about how to be healthy and then having Mark Zuckerberg tell you how many friends normal people should have

Random thought, but with so many quality options available it should be close to impossible to get a bad cheesesteak anymore. Like, you gotta search it out at this point.

These Phillies are really just determined by whose voice in their head is screaming the loudest
