Joe Morgan Doesn't Have a Future as a Baseball Historian

MLB
Jon Miller and Joe Morgan's telecast last night might have set a new low for Sunday Night Baseball. Nothing that spewed out of their mouths made a lot of sense, particularly our fact finding friend.

Joe was back at it again, providing his expert analysis. From Phil Mushnick, my new favorite Morgan basher:

Joe Morgan remains relentless in providing expertly stated nonsense. Last night, during Mets-Cubs on ESPN, Luis Castillo stuck with a windblown popup, making a nice catch. But Morgan explained the play as the result of Castillo being unfamiliar with the winds in Wrigley Field because, “Castillo has played his entire career in the American League.”

But Castillo played 10 years in the NL, all with the Marlins. In fact, it was Castillo who hit the infamous fly that spectator Steve Bartman caught - before Moises Alou could - in the 2003 NLCS at Wrigley. Last season, with the Twins, was his first in the AL.


In the top of the fifth, Morgan’s partner, Jon Miller, noted that Castillo has played before in Wrigley. Morgan said nothing.

Morgan also isn't too familiar with who's actually on the Cubs roster:
"They also have Cesar Izturis here... but Theriot has won the job."
My girlfriend even acknowledged that was an incorrect statement. Keep up the good work, Joe!
