Episode 230 – The ODC vs. The DLC

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss crazy September baseball, a battle of exploitable lefties in Coors, Rougned Odor’s “troublesome” walk rate, Carlos Rodon’s hot streak, the return of Alex Cobb, Yoan Moncada being called up, Matt waiting to be able to drop the mic on a Jeremy Hazelbaker pick, Dylan Bundy cooling off, not buying on Clayton Richard, and the American League MVP.

Contest pick for Friday, September 2: Jeremy Hellickson vs. ATL (Dylan and Matt).

Contest picks for Saturday, September 3: Ivan Nova vs. MIL (Dylan) and Tyler Skaggs @ SEA (Matt).

Can we trust Lackey on Sunday when he returns? Think they’ll let him throw enough pitches to get a QS, or will he be on a pitch count?

My gut is he will have six in him if things go well, but no guarantee on that of course. They aren’t babying him.
