Joe Morgan is still an idiot

The Twins won. And they should have won. They were facing a pitcher called up just for 1 start and the Twins hit him and the Tiger relievers hard.

But according to Joe it was because the "ball was always up". He went on and on about how the Tigers pitchers kept the ball up. And instead of just saying the Tigers were leaving the ball up, because that can happen, he became a detective and figured out the real reason.

According to Joe, the real reason the pitches were up was because the mound level had changed. He had no evidence to back the this up. And if he did he did not tell us the evidence. So he was blaming the Tigers bad pitching on the Twins' ground crew.

But wouldn't the Tigers pitchers been affected by this the previous 2 games? Not according to Joe. The change took place after Saturday's game, again no evidence presented.

But wouldn't the Twins' pitchers be affected by this? Not according to Emmy winner Joe Morgan. This is the Twins home park so they would be use to the difference. But Joe, how could they be use to the difference if it had just happened?

So given no evidence he, in effect, blames the grounds crew for the Tigers poor pitching. Yes Joe, 2+2 =9.

Could you imagine him as a doctor.

"Doctor Morgan, my toe hurts."
"You broke it."

"Really, it just feels like I stubbed it."

"Its broken. Someone attacked you and broke your toe."

"I don't remember that."

"Its broken."
