The latest episode of “Field of Streams” is live!

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss an obligatory Star Wars reference, Dylan’s modest bragging about a Steven Wright pick, Matt’s possibly crazy prediction about Jose Quintana, a history of bad starters in the back of the White Sox rotation, loving every Giants hitter as a pick again, learning how to pronounce Sean Manaea’s name, Dylan being more of a Chris Carter guy than a Joey Votto guy, reasons to like Brett Nicholas, looking into the very small sample size that is Chris B. Young’s splits this year, remembering John Danks, and scoping out things on iTunes that aren’t quite “Field of Streams.”

Pierzynksi’s 2,000th hit, giving Brock Holt his due, Brad Miller possibly (finally) heating up, digging very deep into the Angels lineup, finally picking on Bud Norris, and getting back to very fun streaming picks.
