Thoughts on how dumb Joe Morgan is

I'm currently watching the Mets play the Braves in Atlanta on ESPN.

It's the first inning, there's a runner on 3rd, one out, and Danny Murphy is at the plate.

He hits a sharp, hard liner, but it's right back at Javier Vazquez and he makes a nice grab for an out.

Joe Morgan then chastises him for not hitting a grounder to the right side, and that "the only way that run doesn't score is if you hit it back to the pitcher."

This is stupid for two reasons:

1.) There's lot's of ways he doesn't score -- pop up, strikeout, grounder to third, hard grounder to short, soft liner, shallow pop fly or a line-out to anyone.

2.) He just suggested not hitting the ball square, and not to go with the pitch.

Joe Morgan's an idiot, in the booth he makes Steve Phillips look smart. And we know for a fact Steve Phillips is dumb because of the 2nd Mets team he assembled post- Robin Ventura/Todd Zeile/Jay Payton etc.
