Mike Carminati will no longer be performing his relentless and often hilarious fiskings of Joe Morgan’s chat sessions on ESPN, on account of ESPN deciding to move Morgan’s chats behind the wall of “premium” content you have to pay to get. Of course, paying for the Morgan chats is like when PT Barnum got people to pay admission to see “the Fabulous Egress”. While I have my theories, it’s never been entirely clear how such a smart player can be so stupid about the game he mastered. If another Joe Morgan came up today, Morgan probably wouldn’t think he was any good.
That horse was dead anyway; I gave up about a year or two ago arguing with people who think batting average and RBI are important but statistics aren’t. But Carminti’s posts were entertaining nonetheless.
Aaron Gleeman has some additional thoughts.
