Stephen's trip to Ireland. Jacob deGrom's NPC-style answers to basic questions. Another Terry Francona food nightmare. A minor leaguer comes out. Big Boss is back. Then we power rank all the WBC countries' hats and Lauren gives us some insight into the DR national team.

This is the last free episode Lauren is going to be on for a few weeks because she'll be out recovering from surgery. If you want more Lauren sign up at Patreon.com/BattingAround because she'll be on our episode coming out next Monday on Eastbound and Down. While she's gone we'll have a few guest hosts fill in for her that you'll love or at least tolerate.
