Episode 104 – Aggressively Just Barely Better Than Average

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss Matt grimacing while suggesting Tyler Flowers, the potential strategies associated with “poxwatch,” scouting Zach Davies for his debut, calling Chase Headley the Neil Walker of third base, looking at Erasmo Ramirez’s splits, Joe Kelly’s awesome August, the return of Terrance Gore, and other baseball players with truly no power.

Contest picks for Wednesday, September 2: Andrew Heaney @ OAK (Dylan) and Jeff Locke @ MIL (Matt).

Contest picks for Thursday, September 3: Mat Latos @ SD (Dylan) and Kyle Gibson vs. CWS (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.
