Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.

COULD MANOAH BE AN MLB ALL-STAR?

Former West Virginia pitcher Alek Manoah is continuing to have great success in the MLB with the Toronto Blue Jays. The American League starter is 7-1 this year with an ERA of 1.81, making him one of just five starting pitchers with an ERA under 2.00. He has also started in 11 games this season, and in nine of those games he pitched allowed two or fewer earned runs in at least six innings of play.
