Morgan with a head scratcher

http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=morgan_joe&id=2073496

Somehow manages to advocate a stat-head idea (saves are overrated, use your best reliever in the critical situation) and turn it into a hankering for the good old days when men were men and pitchers threw until their labrums caught fire.  Bizzare.

Morgan just makes s*** up
Was watching the Yanks-Sox game on espn on sunday. Morgan is told (by Miller?)that the Red Sox are leading the league in OBP. Morgan says that this team is less a free swinging team than last years Sox team when they were much lower in the OBP catagory. I looked it up and the Sox were first in OBP last year and the year before.
Morgan I think, just shows up for the game and does not even read the sports page on the way to the park.

It is amazing this guy has a job. Is this artical about when Fingers and Eastwich would get 3 inning saves.

And we wonder why he did not like Moneyball?

Yes, he does
I was struck by the same comment you were, dougald1. I figured, he can't get away with simply lying on live, national tv, can he?

Sigh. Of course he can.

Joe Morgan, in the press box, with the head scratcher!
