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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss eclipse madness, Bartolo Colon’s latest impressive feat, Dylan not knowing how to pronounce Nick Delmonico’s name, Matt Joyce being on fire, actually considering Edwin Jackson in the right matchup, Mike Fiers allowing home runs again, Rhys Hoskins’ big power, the Tigers packing it in, Curtis Granderson seeking a ring with the Dodgers, Byron Buxton being locked in, and the “stoutest” baseball players in history.

Contest picks for Monday, August 21: Eduardo Rodriguez @ CLE and Marcus Semien @ BAL (Dylan) and Eduardo Rodriguez @ CLE and Ben Gamel @ ATL (Matt).

Contest picks for Tuesday, August 22: Jose Urena @ PHI and Matt Joyce @ BAL (Dylan) and Jose Urena @ PHI and Leury Garcia (Matt).
