Joe Morganisms

[nuzzy62]

From tonight's game

Some hitter prefer the low knuckleball; some hitters prefer the high knuckleball."

Thanks Joe

What's wrong with that statement? It's true, isn't it?

[nuzzy62]

Yes, but anyone could have made it. No real insight.

I can say some hitters prefer the low fastball and some hitters prefer the high fastball.

Brilliant, aren't I?

Lol.

Yeah, you should probably replace Steve Phillips... No really!

[nuzzy62]

Oh, I have more too. I don't want to give away everything, but some hitters prefer the outside pitch and some hitters prefer the inside pitch. I have my application in to ESPN.

It's true and the ball will move differently either being high or low - stop trying so hard.

[nuzzy62]

Some mogulers prefer my psost, but some mogulers don't

But that dosen't go for every pitch, most players don't like low sinkers or curves....

[WHAK0985]

The Red Sox might win tonight, but then again, so might the Yankees.

Watch out! I'm hot on your tails with juicy insider baseball knowledge!

[dannymac910]

Most people like to win..

[RickD]

I have said the same things about Madden in football. The man states the Obvious and is called a genius!

[HoustonGM]

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.

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

It dosen't, but it isn't but he just making stupid comments, just stating obvious things, not really a big deal. he has 3 hours of time to fill during a live game.

Its not like its a studio show or a writen article. Of all the stupid and blatanly wrong things that we have to listen to announcers say, someone stating the obvious isn't a big deal.

[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.

[robinhoodnik]

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

[nuzzy62]

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

[WHAK0985]

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

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.

[HoustonGM]

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

[robinhoodnik]

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

[MichelleWie]

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.

[JeepGuy63]

I agree. I myself, find him entertaining but I would not consider him a genius.
How Joe Morgan has kept his job all these years ... is pure genius!

[beerchaser]

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.

[Rongar]

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.

[Rongar]

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?

Is this sarcasm?

You want MORE ads? :confused: :eek:

Sounds like Lugo's M.O. He's just a flat out bust, and most people saw it coming from a mile away.

[robinhoodnik]

If it weren't for the night, you'd be able to see better.

[robinhoodnik]

If you drove up route 95 from New York to Boston, eventually you'd wind up in Boston.

[robinhoodnik]

If you hit a baseball 400 feet in Atlanta, chances are that it'd travel the same distance as one hit 400 feet in Los Angeles would travel.

[HoustonGM]

lol.

[robinhoodnik]

If King Felix pitches a 93 mph fastball in Seattle, it might be just as effective as the 93 mph fastball Felix pitched in Oakland.

[robinhoodnik]

If Joe Morgan talks in the woods and nobody's there to hear him, does he really say anything there either?

[robinhoodnik]

1st inning: Otis Nixon was the Fastest baserunner I ever saw.
3rd inning: Rickey Henderson was without a doubt the fastest baserunner ever.
7th inning: This Ellsbury kid's the fastest runner I've ever seen.

(hypothetical)

[robinhoodnik]

If I want a taco I go to Jack in the Box, but if I want Mexican food I go to Taco Bell.

[RedsoxRockies]

Joe Morgan on ESPN sounds the same as Joe Morgan if he were on FOX

[nuzzy62]

If you don't score any runs you'll lose the game.

[RedsoxRockies]

If the other team does not score more runs than you, your chances of winning might be better, if you can score runs

[dannymac910]

you have to hit to score runs

[nuzzy62]

you have to hit to score runs


aha!!! Wrong!! The Dodgers won a game last week without any hits ;)

No, of course not...it was a mock-moan about how a lotta short ads in a program, cuts down the time that one has to do the essential things in life, such as playing BM; fixing sandwiches; kicking Coach's cat; writing soppy posts; catching power naps; etc

On some Networks Bravo; Showcase; etc in a two-hour feature, they play their
15 "promotional" minutes in one chunk, enabling one to do all of the above.

[Joe Morgan]

Thank you for all the suggestions everybody. There are some really great ideas on here for me to use.

You're welcome Joe, and remember, sometimes a base on balls is just as good as a walk.;)
