Episode 41 – Fans Of Mr. Farmer

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss surviving a month of rough contest picks, Matt’s trip to the saddest place he’s ever been, Matt’s dog being day-to-day and potential comps, John Danks’ insane shutout, judging the Kendrick family’s loyalties, a cameo from Dylan’s roommates making background noise, remembering the “vintage” Brewers infield, a crazy high-risk combo of starting pitchers, Dylan failing to explain the usefulness of wRC+, talking Matt into Alex Colome, and Ivan Nova’s upcoming return.

Contest picks for Monday, June 1: Ryan Vogelsong vs. PIT (Dylan) and Alex Colome @ LAA (Matt).

Contest pick for Tuesday, June 2: Kyle Hendricks @ MIA (Dylan and Matt).

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.
