Older players

It said that “Fire Joe Morgan” had been removed, so I’m not sure if I got to read all of what you were referring to.

I doubt you would see responses that were much better from other players, especially older ones that are obviously not using much stat analysis in their opinions.

Maybe he shouldn’t be a broadcaster, but he is a color guy that is there to bring a perspective on the game. Granted his perspective is not always based on actual stats which makes him wrong in some of his analysis. That is what pisses people off that are more rigid fact/stat guys. I guess I would just let some of that stuff go. I still think he shouldn’t be called an idiot where baseball is concerned.

I may be biased, the 76 Reds were my first real exposure to MLB. It was unbelievable to watch.
