Episode 86 – Yancy Does Not Murder Puppies

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss the one random early Friday afternoon game, Matt wisely hiring somebody else to give his dog a haircut, a very pitcher-heavy DFS day, Dylan being corrected on his Salvador Perez pick, welcoming back Chase Anderson then immediately choosing against him, getting used to Cole Hamels being with Texas, and Matt attempting to get political.

Contest picks for Friday, August 7: Robbie Ray vs. CIN (Dylan) and Aaron Nola @ SD (Matt).

Contest pick for Saturday, August 8: Nate Karns vs. NYM (Dylan and Matt).

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.

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.
