What are your thoughts on Jon Miller and Joe Morgan?

[Simply Red]

How do you all like those two?

[StcChief]

Morgan... great player, good analyst, knows game and situations (since he played it)
Miller ok.

That's right, another poll.

When I hear them I think Sunday Night Baseball same way I heard Al Michaels I thought MNF.

I miss Harold Reynolds. I loved his play by play until that sexual harassment deal canned him. If Marv Albert can come back, why not him?

Sexual harrassment is a little more serious than just being a freaky bastard in bed.

Huh? Albert was convicted of assault and battery after a trial for sexual assault.

ah...ok....i couldnt remember all the details. Sorry.

Im sure Reyolds will be back eventually.

[Amnorix]

Joe Morgan is beyond useless as an announcer. Possibly the worst color guy ever.

Hes not knob slobbering all over your Red Sox huh??

Picturing Harold Reynolds sexually harassing someone is hilarious since he seems so nice and proper.

[Nzoner]

I like them so much I'm listening to ESPN radio.......GO CUBS!!!

[kcxiv]

Miller is ok. Joe Morgan sucks and is annoying to me.

[BWillie]

I have no idea. I never watch them because they never let the Royals have a ESPN game. It's only the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs or Dodgers it seems like...and I hate all those teams with a burning passion. I vote for Bob Davis

[milkman]

I never watch them either, but I used to love watching Morgan at bat as a player.

Is that KU's Bob Davis? Doing baseball?

Could care less about that. McCarver is no Sox fan either, but at least he knows WTF he is talking about and doesn't shower us with a combination of endless stupid cliches and platitudes, balanced off by absurd wisdom such as "I've always said great hitters can hit" or whatever.

You like that douchebag McCarver over Morgan? Him and Joe Buck make my ears bleed.

Eh. Wouldn't go so far as to say "like". i'm no fan of McCarver, either, but I don't think he's inept beyond compare. That category is reserved for Joe Morgan, who is a better person, but a bigger idiot. :D

[Demonpenz]

firejoemorgan.com those guys fail to read any stats

[Ultra Peanut]

Aside from being the worst commentary team in baseball, eh.

Anyone who likes Joe Morgan should get a lobotomy posthaste, because something is going SERIOUSLY wrong up there.

McCarver is no Sox fan either, but at least he knows WTF he is talking about and doesn't shower us with a combination of endless stupid cliches and platitudes, balanced off by absurd wisdom such as "I've always said great hitters can hit" or whatever.Uh... that's exactly what McCarver does, dude.

"I only care about on-base percentage if you can run. If you can't run, I could care less about on-base percentage."

"A-Rod just fouls that ball off beautily."

"On-base percentage? How about contact percentage?!"

"First year as a relief pitcher in the Angel chain, Woods made 97 out of 98 starts, did Woods, as a starter."

"In Scrabble, W's are worth 4 points. S's are only worth 1 point. But as far as Papelbon is concerned, S's are worth a lot more than W's."

"It stands to reason that guys vary as far as their strength is concerned from start to start. Sometimes 90 pitches is too much. Sometimes 130 pitches are not enough. A guy could throw 150 pitches per start."

"A Mark Wohlberg fastball. Catch me if you can."

"I think if Norman Rockwell were alive the guy that he would paint more than anyone else would be David Eckstein."

[alanm]

Tell you what guys. Just watch the f*cking games with the sound turned down or don't watch at all.
End of problem. :deevee:

So, you don't like them?

[RJ]

Jon Miller is the best baseball announcer to come along in the past 30 years. Morgan is nowhere near as good as Miller but he does know the game. I spent many years listening to Miller when he did Orioles games on the radio and I'm still a fan. I don't understand what's not to like.

For anyone who doesn't like them I have to ask.....who do you like better?

[little jacob]

Miller is great, Morgan is decent.

[Pitt Gorilla]

I love Jon Miller, but I can't stand Joe Morgan. The person who suggested Bob Davis should have his head examined.

[Amnorix]

I have no problem with Jon Miller.

Jerry Remy is GREAT doing color for the Red Sox games. Think he's done fill-in on a couple of national games. I think Sean McDonough is a superb play-by-play guy. He's done some national stuff in various sports I believe.

I haven't heard anyone else to be able to compare.

[RJ]

Jon Miller was such a good radio guy when he did the Orioles games that I even kept him tuned in during rain delays. In fact, that was when he'd tell some of his best baseball stories, ones that took longer to convey than he might normally have time for. He also did great impersonations of other broadcasters, very entertaining. He left the Orioles for the Giants IIRC; it was a sad day for O's fans.

[raybec 4]

I really like Miller and Morgan as a duo. I'm not as big a fan of Miller doing Giants games w/o Morgan but together they are great.

[Ultra Peanut]

I got a nickname for all my guns
A Desert Eagle that I call Big Pun
A two-shot that I call Tupac
And a dirty pistol that love to crew hop
My Tec-9 I'ma call T-Paine
My Three-Eight snub I'ma call Lil Wayne
Machine gun named Missy so live
It go, "Eee-ee-ee-ee-ah, Eee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-blaw!"

Just so you know, you know.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

i love jon miller and joe morgan. i sometimes watch sunday night baseball just to hear them, even if i don't care about the teams.

no need to be a racialist about it.

Only it would have been different, 'cuz plagiarism's bad, mmkay?

Really enjoyed listening to Miller doing O's games on radio because he always seemed to get a lot of stuff in there without being too wordy. People who've just seen the TV Miller are missing out.
