In a span of just a few weeks, Morgan has done some really bad damage to his career.
First he "Allegedly "" throws the ball at the fan in Philly. He is served a 7 game suspension on Aug. 25,,,,he appeals. You would think the guy might be wanting to lay low.
Aug. 28th St. Louis Catcher Bryan Anderson is standing in front of home plate, there is no play at the plate. Morgan scores easily, but instead decided to throw a shoulder into the catcher. Again there was no play at the plate, he scored standing up easy. But that wasn;t goood enough apparently.
Then last night, on a play at the plate, he trucked over Marlins catcher Brett Hayes and separated his shoulder. Yes, it was a play at the plate. Yes you can truck the catcher. But MLB network went over the play again and again, and said clearly the smart play would be to just slide at the back of the plate, Hayes had left the whole back plate open for an easy slide around him and be called safe, instead slid into the catcher injured him,,,but he was out. The smarter play would have just been to slide to the back of the non defended dish.
Sure it's a tough baseball play, but given what has already happaned this week that the guy has brought on to himself,,,well it doesn;'t look good that he is taunting fans after the brawl too.
One final note for the last two years I've really enjoyed MLB networks night coverage. I'll never go back to Baseball tonight. Their studio show is exceptional, I just leave it on every night. Gotta love when Byrnes makes a guest appearance in the studio.
