Episode 8 – The Contest To Pick The Contest

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin record a do-over “blitz episode” after finally losing a recording and discuss picking up Shane Greene sooner rather than later, Matt repeating a Mookie Betts pun, attempting to “turn the key at the same time,” and creating the first Field of Streams listener contest. Please leave your suggestions on how we should decide to rename Matt’s Twitter handle in the comments below.

Contest pick for Wednesday, April 15: Brandon Morrow vs. ARI (Dylan and Matt).

Contest picks for Thursday, April 16: Jarred Cosart @ NYM (Dylan) and Archie Bradley @ SF (Matt).

You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
9. A weekly mailbag column, exclusively for Members.
10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Contest picks for Friday, April 17: Jimmy Nelson @ PIT (Dylan) and Adam Warren @ TB (Matt).

Suggested DFS picks worth attention for Wednesday, April 15: Wilson Ramos, Buster Posey, Carlos Santana, Mike Morse, Lucas Duda, Anthony Rizzo, Ian Kinsler, Jose Altuve, Adrian Beltre, Evan Longoria, Todd Frazier, Danny Santana, Giancarlo Stanton, Desmond Jennings, Darin Ruf, George Springer, Jerry Sands, Trevor Bauer, Collin McHugh, Lance Lynn, Brandon Morrow, right-handed Red Sox hitters, right-handed Tigers hitters, and most of the Blue Jays lineup.
