BINGE WATCHING THIS THANKSGIVING

This year, the Resident Couch Potato, Pete Osterman, takes the time to map out the perfect guide for all our fellow TMYK couch potatoes!
WHEN WINNING IS STILL LOSING
These days, if a guy keeps changing pitchers and the next pitcher gives up a run, it’s called over-managing. If he leaves him in and he gives up runs, he shouldn’t have called him up in the first place. Either way, you can’t win as a manager, and Dave Roberts proved just that when he brought in Clayton Kershaw as a relief pitcher in Game 5 of the 2019 NLDS. Cowboy Derek expands on this theory in “Cow Pokes.”
EMMY PICKS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Not every day can be the Oscars, which is why The Morgan You Know also proudly celebrates the primetime Emmy’s, an annual recognition of work in American television. On this year’s Emmy pod, Rod, Wu, Chris, and Resident Couch Potato, Pete Osterman, share their picks, predicitions, and likely snubs. Be sure to check out their choices for 11 of the biggest categories and see if they match up with yours.
