Episode 84 – Forsythe’s Withes

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss Twitter input from regular listeners, Dylan dropping the ball on a trick question, Matt suggesting a mystery third baseman, getting creative with middle infield positions, trying to look ahead through Nelson Cruz’s continued hot streak, utilizing the mediocre Giants outfielders, Dylan stumbling through double negatives, warning against dropping Lance McCullers, and predicting the strikeouts tallied by Dan Haren and Jeff Locke in their matchup.

Contest pick for Wednesday, August 5: Erasmo Ramirez @ CWS (Dylan and Matt).

Contest picks for Thursday, August 6: Joe Ross vs. ARI (Dylan) and Aaron Brooks vs. HOU (Matt).
