More Brilliance
Two days, two times I wish I had a hammer to pound my brains out from listening to Joe Morgan. First, Angels vs. Yankees on Friday. Alex Rodriguez makes a delayed throw to second that clearly pulls Robinson Cano off the bag. Morgan's verdict? "I don't agree with that."
What Morgan means (and never explains) is that he feels a second sacker should get credit for a phantom tag in that case. Well, phantom tags are OK in my book on the odd double play. But not when it's BLATANT as a result of a BAD PLAY.
Then, earlier tonight. Larry Walker leans into a pitch and gets awarded first base. "It's not like he leaned into it," says Morgan, RIGHT AS THE REPLAY SHOWS WALKER LEANING!!!
How ESPN continues to allow this man on the air is beyond belief.
