Episode 61 – Skinny Joe Blanton Is The Best Joe Blanton

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss Dylan surviving his high school reunion, keeping an eye on Josh Phegley, a tough day at second base, trying to figure out what is up with Joe Blanton, the hypothetical day of no outfield picks, Matt’s descriptive explanation of his reaction to Yasiel Puig’s injury, trying to predict the prices of Monday’s pitchers in a rough day, debunking the concept of a player getting revenge on their old team, being irrationally terrified of Justin Upton, the White Sox and their impressive level of futility against lefties, Trevor May’s abysmal outing, overly complicated forms of prediction regarding Paul Goldschmidt vs. Brett Anderson, and their lack of accents.

Contest picks for Monday, June 29: Jimmy Nelson @ PHI (Dylan) and Joe Blanton @ HOU (Matt).

Contest pick for Tuesday, June 30: Anthony DeSclafani vs. MIN (Dylan and Matt).
