Obviously, we aren’t much interested in his opinion on this question. At this point, any of us at Fangraphs probably knows that we will disagree with Morgan on this (and consider him uninformed). On the other hand, when he talks about the mechanics of different aspects of the game itself, he can be very interesting. So, I’d say that let’s just try to get his opinions on the things where he is interesting and not ask him or worry about his view on the things where he isn’t (in the same way that we ourselves should not dedicate ourselves to opining on things we don’t know about).

Joe Morgan can be infuriating, and this article is a perfect example of that. But there’s a reason why he has a job. When it comes to describing the mentality of a hitter when he walks up to the plate, I’m perfectly happy listening to Joe Morgan. I just wish he would stick to that kind of analysis.
