Episode 108 – I’m Not Throwing A Parade Over That One

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Brad Johnson discuss a pitcher-heavy slate, the cryptic Kevin Gausman, Russell Martin’s continued slide, shying away from David Ortiz at Fenway park, Brad suggesting a “megapunt” at first base, Logan Forsythe establishing himself as an occasional top option at second base, conflicted feelings about Chase Anderson, Ryan Braun straightening things out, Raisel Iglesia’s late emergence, and trying to consider the very few matchups to not trust Clayton Kershaw in.

Contest picks for Tuesday, September 8: Aaron Nola vs. ATL (Dylan) and Jon Gray @ SD (Matt).

Contest picks for Wednesday, September 9: Kris Medlen vs. MIN (Dylan) and Josh Tomlin @ CWS (Matt).
