Episode 118 – No Phones Down The Elevator

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Brad Johnson discuss Dylan losing his phone in a ridiculous way, repeat analysis of Orioles righties that prefer to face righties still being fine against lefties, a few pairs of intriguing pitcher matchups, looking at Henry Owens and Matt Moore in 2016, Jeremy Guthrie’s return to the Royals rotation, boring but dependable options in Tom Koehler and Logan Verrett, considering J.A. Happ despite Coors Field, and a cameo from Brad’s dog.

Contest picks for Tuesday, September 22: Tom Koehler vs. PHI (Dylan) and Daniel Norris vs. CWS (Matt).

Contest picks for Wednesday, September 23: Rick Porcello vs. TB (Dylan) and Adam Conley vs. PHI (Matt).
