Jack Morris joins Sportsnet as baseball analyst | bluejays.com: News

Jack Morris will be doing colour for the Blue Jays' radio broadcasts plus 20-30 TV broadcasts. Heard him on Prime Time Sports today here in Toronto on FAN590 and was somewhat surprised how well spoken he is. For some reason I expected him to be kind of gruff and not very talkative.

Might try to TTM him this summer.

Jack has been doing Twins games on and off for the past couple of years, so he's no stranger to a microphone. He's not stellar, but he does offer some great perspective on pitching, what goes on in a huddle between the coaches and players on the mound, the mind games on the field and the dugout, etc. You'll like Jack on the radio.

It's not his first rodeo in broadcasting (I seem to recall he worked for the Twins broadcasting in recent times) so I'd expect he was hired not only because of being an ex-player and the expertise of the game that goes with that but also because he is no stranger to a tv and/or radio booth.

I was hoping Hayhurst would get a chance. I'm ok with Morris on the team. Apparently some Twins fans are happy to see him go. Any reason for this?

If that's the case, chances are Morris wasn't a Twins homer. I appreciate more those broadcasters who aren't homers and tell it like it is but the teams hiring them don't.

I'm not "happy" to see him leave, but I'm glad he got himself a good job.

I just ordered a sweet 16x20 that he's going to sign next Saturday.
