Episode 223 – No Charlie Chaplin

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss Matt’s emotional evening in the world of professional wrestling, Matt’s roller coaster of pitching streaming picks, Tyler Skagg’s reverse splits, wondering what Brandon Morrow is up to, too many words on Omar Narvaez, Justin Morneau being respectable at the plate, forcing a poor translation on Ivan Nova, missed marketing opportunities when it comes to Aaron “The Judge” Judge,” revisiting Matt’s theory on the White Sox advance scouting department, and Matt’s future facial hair opportunities.

Contest pick for Tuesday, August 23: Jon Gray @ MIL (Dylan and Matt).

You guys are saying that Ranaudo is starting for the ChiSox but everywhere it says Rodon. Assuming it is Rodon, any adjustments to suggest?

Looks like you’re right. Cameron Rupp, Tommy Joseph and Maikel Franco are all Phillies who can mash lefties that I would consider there.
