Episode 114 – Typo Naming

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss Dylan entirely avoiding fantasy football, Dylan trying to gloat again about Joey Votto vs. Tim Hudson, Matt not being thrilled about the Cubs facing A.J. Burnett, Jedd Gyorko as a sneaky infield pick against lefties, whether or not to trust Jonathan Schoop with lefties, Dylan’s new DFS strategy where he ignores platoon splits, adding to the Matt Duffy confusion, the “Peralta Parents” and their weird naming conventions, recognizing Aaron Altherr, Anibal Sanchez’s return, Jeff Samardzija being extra bad, and Matt failing a shoutout once again.

Contest pick for Wednesday, September 16: Robbie Ray vs. SD (Dylan and Matt).

Contest pick for Thursday, September 17: Lance McCullers @ TEX (Dylan) and Sean Nolin @ CWS (Matt).
