We have become awfully thin skined as of late. I don’t that Jack meant any ill will to Ohtani and Mr. Ohanti was very professional in his response. Just someone trying to make something out of nothing…..just my thoughts.
jack morris is a true professional and i’m glad bally made the right decision to return him to the booth!!! after all those terrible years with ROD ALLEN it’s really nice to have someone that knows what he’s talking about. keep up the good work jack and gibby!!!
I heard the comment live and it sure sounded like Elmer Fudd. Stop the cancel culture.
I am very grateful Jack is back. I don’t think he should ever have been suspended.
