"Diamond in the Rough" is the 10th episode of the fourth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 82nd episode overall. It aired December 12, 2012. The episode was written by Dan O'Shannon, Becky Mann & Audra Sielaff and directed by Gail Mancuso.
Manny (Rico Rodriguez) and Luke's (Nolan Gould) little league baseball team unexpectedly makes it into a playoff game, so Claire (Julie Bowen) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) scramble to find a location for the team to compete. They find an empty lot and decide to do a makeover on it transforming it into a baseball field. Later, Claire and Cameron come across an elderly woman selling her run-down house cheaply, and inspired by their efforts with the baseball field decide they want to try their hand at 'flipping' it (buying it, renovating and then selling it for a profit). Phil (Ty Burrell) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) think it's a bad idea that will just end up losing them money, but while Mitchell tells them immediately that it is not a good idea, Phil pretends that he supports Claire. A conflict between Phil and Mitchell starts but in the end, when they see what a great job their partners did with the field, they have second thoughts about buying that house. Jay (Ed O'Neill) later comes by and tells all four of them that family and business do not go together, however they still end up buying the house.
Gloria (Sofia Vergara) tries to bond with the unborn baby by using a microphone to sing to it in utero. Jay does not like that at all since Gloria is a terrible singer and hearing her all day singing is not the best thing; however, he cannot tell her that, much to his chagrin. In the thought that the poor baby has to hear that all day, he decides to take the microphone with the excuse that he also wants to talk to the baby. In the end, he finally confesses to Gloria after the two of them struck a deal to not fight when Gloria is still carrying the baby, which angers Gloria.
At the game, Manny and Luke's team finally won after Manny is hit by a pitch and walks in the winning run.
