We talk to Chelsea Manning about the Cubs, gay bars, the 2016 World Series, congressional scrutiny on the MLB's antitrust exemption, then some mailbag. On the Patreon side Jane and Lauren check in with Stephen about Bryce Harper, do some podcast beef, then talk about the Mariner/Angels brawl and come up with the best idea for a sports video game ever. If you want to hear the Patreon side of the show go to www.Patreon.com/BattingAround and sign up. More information on Chelsea's book and links to pre-order can be found at https://readmetxt.xyz/
