We'll have a normal weekly episode out sometime this week but right now Stephen is in Airport Hell.

The first four rounds are free, but if you want the last two rounds, and you do, go to Patreon.com/BattingAround and sign up at the Slapdick Prospect level or higher.

An instant classic of a World Series is in the books and we're encouraging all the gloating and the saltiness that came from it. We also talk about everyone giving worse and worse sports jerseys to the pope and what to expect from us in the offseason.
