His strangeness runs so deep, it's no wonder an entire genre of obtuse baseball coverage is basically dedicated to his name. Thanks for checking out the Rogue's, Jeff! So true, so true.

This happened on a recent telecast when he chose a pitcher missing the strike zone to rail on the recent practice of catchers standing up when asking for a ball out of the zone. Even as the replay showed that the catcher NEVER rose out of his crouch, Morgan continued to argue that the catcher standing up on the play had distracted the pitcher by giving him too different a look. It galls me. Every single time.
