Episode 80 – Aaron Harang Has Remembered That He’s Aaron Harang

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Brad Johnson discuss two early games, Tyler Saladino’s modest emergence, Troy Tulowitzki’s new home, Dylan breaking rule No. 1 by rambling about his fantasy team, an interesting comparison for the top of the Phillies lineup, skipping over mainstream baseball news, the impact of Chris Bassitt’s recent success, and how hugwatch can affect DFS picks.

Contest picks for Thursday, July 30: Jimmy Nelson vs. CHC (Dylan) and Jeff Locke @ CIN (Matt).

Contest pick for Friday, July 31: Erasmo Ramirez @ BOS (Dylan and Matt).

It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.

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.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
