Episode 95 – Is Your List As Long As Mine?

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Brad Johnson discuss Brad lamenting some unfortunate personal fantasy benchings, being spoiled by the immediate success of rookies, pitchers complaining about hitters parks, plenty of options at first base, Michael Taylor’s strange fantasy season, Eddie Rosario’s strange home/road splits, not being excited about Brad Hand, the limitations of discussions on Twitter, and background cameos from Dylan’s roommate making breakfast in the kitchen.

Contest picks for Thursday, August 20: Patrick Corbin @ CIN (Dylan) and Kyle Hendricks vs. ATL (Matt).

Contest pick for Friday, August 21: Chris Bassitt vs. TB (Dylan and Matt).
