Joe Morganisms

[robinhoodnik]

Some guys like a base on balls, some prefer a balk call.

[RedsoxRockies]

he also talked about scoring runs " They would like to score some runs, because if they don't they might not win"

[Reade]

He must have some juicy info on ESPN, because there's no reason he should still be doing games, plus they got rid of Harold Reynolds so if they got rid of Joe the NAACP would jump down their necks.

I liked Reynolds. Man, too bad he acted like a jackass off camera.

If you score more runs than the other team, you'll usually win

I liked him too. Isn't he on MLB.tv now? Is that any good by the way? Heard a lot of good things but never tried watching.

He was on SNY (the Mets station) for a while, and I think he still is.

I'd like clam chowder.....if it weren't for all of the clams.

[MichelleWie]

Im sorry as im from Finland, but who are the people calling him a genius? I've never heard anyone call him a genius....

I agree. I myself, find him entertaining but I would not consider him a genius.

[robinhoodnik]

I like Jell-o, except for the way it jiggles.

How Joe Morgan has kept his job all these years ... is pure genius!

I love mlb.tv (don't care much for Harold Reynolds though). However, the incessant mlb.tv promos they do in-between innings of the games, and that Statue of Liberty thing they are doing now, got old with me REAL quick.

Some might.

I challenge anybody to show to me what type of analysis "Some hitter prefer the low knuckleball; some hitters prefer the high knuckleball" constitutes, and what insight it gives.

Fair play, Guys, the two of them (the impressive commentator, - whose name I forget - and colour man Joe), did go on to discuss the differing movements of the two kinds of pitch, concluding, I must admit, that no-one knows where the knuckler goeth!

Anyway, I 've written before, why let any perceived gaffes by broadcasters bother us?...why not enjoy the game, and anything that we don't understand - such as the movement of the knuckler - will, eventually become clear the more t.v. baseball we watch, or the more that we browse these forums?

One thing I wish that yesterday's broadcast crew had discussed is the crucial play where the Boston fielder (Lugol?), in an attempt to snare the winning hit by the N.Y. seemed to knock the ball out of its path toward the back-up fielder, who might have gathered it in time to prevent the Yankees from scoring.

A great game, whatever our opinions of the talking heads.

Nah, Joe's huge audience is made up of those looking to nitpick his commentary
after the game...(game?...wot game?...you mean there was something going on besides Joe Morgan?)

As a relative newcomer to modern-day t.v. baseball broadcasting, I am frustrated by the brevity of the t.v. ads between innings.

It seems no sooner do I, inspired by the rl players on the tube, go to sim a few BM games, than I have to whip back to the goggle-box, 'cos they're playing again?
