In 2019, you can make the argument, though I think he's part of a big tier
going forward

Is it ironic that the other starter considered is named Homer?

Manaea doesn't look bad. But with 3 runs given up so far, what's his leach. The first of one more inning or 1 more run? Or does he go deeper?

I thought the accent was on the second syllable. Buh-BYPE.

I bet that actually isn't true.
(The any time a pitcher and a hitter were teammates the hitter has the advantage!)
NOt sure why I'm not in the other stream.

“The Right Way” of pronouncing BABIP isn’t at 75% and we still get surprised when certain people don’t make the Hall of Fame

Sadly we can turn this off as nobody has ever comeback from a 3 run deficit in wild card history

We should do a poll on who is watching the Nerdcast and who is making bad life choices

With a three run lead, when do Rays make defensive focused substitutions like Choi for Diaz?

If you're streaming on ESPN, you can select the alternate or spanish streams in the software

Just as long as we can all agree that wOBACON is pronounces "woe bacon."
Ben Clemens
8:51
That's an interesting question, but I have to imagine it's much more of a handedness concern than first base defense here.
AvatarDan Szymborski

Nobody ever used the word "woe" that close to "bacon."
Jason
8:52
Alright, "woah, bacon!" then.
5 Run Homer

Woah, bacon!

I hate the nerdcast. It is so magnificent that as I spend the rest of the postseason watching Ernie Johnson and John Smoltz I'm just going to be thinking about what I am missing

Only to say "woe, bacon is gone"
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:53
True, it's been used as a lament for bacon, not a modifier for bacon.
Ben Clemens
8:53
I find it impressive that announcers manage to talk as much as they do and generally think that the job is sneaky difficult.
But John Smoltz.... hoo boy.
8:54
I do not enjoy his broadcasts. I just get the sense that he doesn't like baseball anymore, and that's no fun.
Jackson

Morton’s command has seemed better this inning but I don’t think the umpire agrees
AvatarDan Szymborski
8:54
Honestly, if I hadn't seen the pitches that went for homers, I'd be 100% sure that Manaea's pitching better.
