Episode 15 – One Solo Home Run Does Not A Season Make

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss Matt getting to gloat about J.A. Happ, reviewing the first mediocre head-to-head matchup, Jordan Lyles’ impressive start, Drew Smyly’s return from the DL, Kyle Gibson’s inability to strike out anybody, the unlikeable Royals and the most benign teams in baseball, and being forced to recognize Matt’s birthday.

Contest pick for Friday, April 24: Carlos Martinez @ MIL (Dylan, Matt and Steve).

Contest picks for Saturday, April 25: James Paxton vs. MIN (Dylan) and Daniel Norris @ TB (Matt).

The Royals are douches?
The Orioles/Sox game in Fenway?
Come on guys. I know it’s not easy doing a daily podcast, but this is just shoddy and sloppy analysis.
