ok I stole this from another forum, but these are classics
 

"When he hit that home run, I think he was looking to hit the ball hard. But I'm not around him enough to know what his thought process was"

"He may want to attempt to steal in this situation. But then again, he may not"

"Leadoff walks usually haunt you more than 2-out walks."

"You know, Ive said all along that most great hitters bat over .300. And Albert Pujols is evidence of that."

Even though they are both 'color guys," I would piss myself laughing if Joe M. and Tim McCarver did a game together. For me, it wouldn't get any better than that.My dream match up would be the Cards vs. The Yanks. They both could verbally suck off Jeter all game while trying to explain LaRussa's weird in-game moves. High comedy.

"I've never seen Brett Myers pitch a bad game in my life"

"hitters should look to hit pitches in their hitting zone..  many times a players hitting zone is not in the actual strike zone."

"Wellemeyer only has given up 120 hits in 122 innings, and only 40 walks."
 
Morgan: "I like to look at how many hits and walks a pitcher gives up.  It really is evidence of how effective the pitcher is."

"See look at the ways that Pujols gets his hips out of the way quickly, drives with his legs and he has a slight upper cut swing. I think that's why he hits a lot of home runs."

"What makes somebody a good baseball player is the ability to hit, throw, catch, and run.  It also helps if they can all do these at a very high level."

...or when he tells you too "look" and "watch," things but doesn't say what to look or watch for.
 
"Look. Look right there at his hands. See? See right there? That's what makes him a good fastball hitter."
 
 
Joe, it's a fucking television broadcast, I AM LOOKING. I see the guy has two hands and they are holding a bat. It's your job to explain what I'm looking for.

"Now he's got himself in a hitter's count so he'll be looking for a pitch that he can drive."

I lost it for Joe a long time ago when he was a player. He used to bat second behind Pete Rose during the Big Red Machine days. When he became the #3 hitter, he bitched about players distracting him by stealing base while he was batting.................
 
Didn't stop Joe from stealing 50/60 in front of Bench/Perez/Foster...................prick
