Episode 51 – Now and Forever Brian McCann

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss Matt’s new weird DFS strategy, obligatory Logan Forsythe mentions, Yunel Escobar’s great but boring season, an interesting Andrelton Simmons stat, the mixed feelings of comparing your stats to Jered Weaver’s, Dylan’s interest in Chad Bettis, defining the context of situations in which yo uthrow your hands in the air, Dylan’s accidental Pittsburgh pitcher tongue twister, and finally pulling the trigger on officially sponsoring a new pitcher.

Contest picks for Monday, June 15: Wei-Yin Chen vs. PHI (Dylan) and Carlos Rodon @ PIT (Matt).

Contest picks for Tuesday, June 16: Charlie Morton vs. CWS (Dylan) and Scott Copeland @ NYM (Matt).
