Morgan did last year's World Series on radio for ESPN and offered up this little gem about Rangers' manager Ron Washington.
"He likes to get his pitchers to fake a bunt and swing away with runners on. He does this all the time."
Unmentioned is that Washington manages an American League team so hit pitchers are only asked to bat 2-3 series a year when they are playing in National League parks. Then you have to question how often the pitchers are up there in a bunting situation with which to fake a buntto begin with.
Morgan's co-hort Jon Miller left the comment unchallenged.
Not long afterwards, ESPN announced that Miller and Morgan would not be back for another season on Sunday Night Baseball, which they had worked for almost two decades.
Although only vague reasons were given for the change, those in the blogosphere openly wondered if Morgan's comment and Miller's indifference to it had something to do with the change.
I meant to say “And add Joe Morgan later!”
