I just did a 90-minute interview with Joe Morgan for either Conversations with Joe Morgan or the NBC radio show . .not sure which. . .which I honestly thought was one of the best shows of its type that I have ever done. We got into discussions of a lot of the things that he and I have disagreed about over the years. ..Brandon Phillips, Dick Allen, Jack Morris, the value of won-lost records, the value of strikeouts. ..etc., and I may not have defended "our" position the way that you would have done it or the best way that it could have been done, but I did the best I could with it and I thought it was good radio. I wanted to post this notice here:
a) to alert you to look for it, if you want to do that, and
b) to create a space to allow you to post comments (below), particularly in case there was something you think I got wrong or something you thought I didn’t say the way it should have been said.
Also, my ‘pologies to Brian Kenny; I should have posted a notice like this about my opportunity to appear on his show—on which we also argued about Brandon Phillips and the value of won-lost records, etc. So you can react to that (below) as well.
Thanks,
Bill James
Also, do you notice that all of the names in this note can be serviceably reversed?
Kenny Brian
Morgan Joseph, attorney at law
Allen Richards
Morris Jackson
Phillip Brandons
James Williams
That’s why I didn’t bring up Rob Neyer, Ben Cherington or John Dewan; you can’t reverse their names and make any sense out of it.
