Episode 54 – That’s Pitching For Ya

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Brad Johnson discuss helpful feedback on technical difficulties, closer looks at Anthony Ranaudo and Joey Gallo, pitchers that have disappointed this year, hesitating on DFS picks based on a lack of a supporting cast, the weird scheduling of a split series, Paul Goldschmidt’s historic dominance against left-handed pitching, comparing Brad Miller and Jimmy Rollins, and a guest appearance by some background birds.

Contest picks for Thursday, June 18: Jaime Garcia @ MIN (Dylan) and Mike Montgomery vs. SF (Matt).

Contest pick for Friday, June 19: Kyle Hendricks @ MIN (Dylan and Matt).
