Episode 122 – Pitched Pretty Hate-ably

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss Matt’s visit to Wisconsin, the Korean holiday of Chuseok, figuring out which players (and teams) still care, Texas pride, David Ortiz keeping an eye on the calendar for his matchup against Ivan Nova, seeing the glass half-empty or half-full for Albert Pujols’ matchup against Felix Doubront, the value of making your own fantasy decisions, the AL MVP, A-Rod vs. E-Rod, Ryan Braun insisting on playing hurt instead of being shut down, what it would take for Matt to buy White Sox season tickets, and Matt’s big fantasy football victory.

Contest pick for Monday, September 28: J.A. Happ vs. STL (Dylan and Matt).

Contest picks for Tuesday, September 29: Robbie Ray vs. COL (Dylan) and Nick Tropeano vs. OAK (Matt).

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.
