Episode 111 – Weird Is Still The Word

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Paul Sporer discuss the differences of September baseball, Welington Castillo’s stellar nickname, Chris Davis being able to mash lefties, Joey Votto almost being a bargain despite his high price, more Rays righties and giving Steve Adams props for seeing the future, comparing Joe Panik to Joey Votto, comparing Joe Panik to Luis Valbuena, refusing to pick pitchers facing the Blue Jays, Paul not giving up on Justin Verlander, and Erik Johnson as a cheap pick.

Contest picks for Friday, September 11: Robbie Ray vs. LAD (Dylan) and Erik Johnson vs. MIN (Matt).

Contest picks for Saturday, September 12: Lance McCullers @ LAA (Dylan) and Tanner Roark @ MIA (Matt).
