Any Tigers fans Here With Thoughts on the Situation?

Tiger fan. Looking forward to Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson, but they need some established hitters in the meantime. The starting pitching is coming along, bullpen is ok-ish with Fulmer, Funkhouser and Soto, but they cannot score runs. The lineup flat out stinks.
EDIT - Didn't hear what Morris said so I didn't comment. I don't expect it was anything truly bad but sounds like he wasn't very careful and that's going to cost you nowadays.

Soto allowed the grand slam the other night. He’s great but inconsistent. I like Cisnero better—he can throw gas with better control.
Tork and Greene probably won’t debut until next year. Who knows, they could make opening day if they do good in Toledo and have a good showing in Spring Training.

I remember listening to Harry Caray call a game Hideo Nomo pitched. Y'all should see if you can find it. That guy would day drink and say horrific things.
Ah those were the days, a much simpler time, a time where a man could drink before, during and after work.

Not a Tiger fan but I am a fan of Miguel Cabrera. Any day now he's going to hit his 500th
I’m not going to watch, Jack Morris won’t be calling it.
️Yup, he screwed up. Has to live with it now.
He was suspended, not fired. IMO it sounded like he was referencing Looney Tunes and it was taken the wrong way. What has me fired up is that he was suspended AFTER he made a very sincere apology.
Shohei and Maddon aren’t offended by what he said. The majority of fans I’ve seen are against his suspension.
What really gets me is that Bob Brenly wasn’t suspended.
It certainly sounds to me like Morris meant no harm and was just having a bit of fun, but you have to be so careful these days. I think he'll be back just needs to take a break for a bit.
I agree, and that’s the sad part. It’s like nobody can say anything anymore without someone getting offended. IMO it’s not healthy to have to walk on eggshells with every word.
I think it was inappropriate but I don't think the punishment matches the 'crime'. Additionally, it's literally being labeled as Jack Morris uses racial slur on YouTube. That's simply ludicrous. Poor use of cultural appropriation to try to add a joking tone to how to pitch to Ohtani? Absolutely. Malicious racial slur? Not even close.

Wait, I thought working from home brought that back. Am I confused?

My team is changing is their entire name, and branding for being "racist" so it's all kind of a joke nowadays with people, and their perceived perception of things as they take it.

It’s not a slur! How could they call it that?? That video should be taken down because of the misleading title IMO.

Agreed. Google it. I'm really disappointed in society. I feel like it's mostly 'woke' Caucasian folks overcompensating. If we want to talk about Asian injustice let's talk about how we practically no coaches or managers of Asian descent in the major leagues. That's something to care about that actually impacts the Asian baseball community.

Ichiro was such a phenomenal player, I’m surprised he doesn’t have a coaching/managerial job (that I’m aware of).
I do agree that it’s Caucasians who are trying to overcompensate. Personally I don’t think it’s any of their business to determine what is best for another group—the same goes for all groups. Problems aside, we are a lot better off than we were 50 years ago, equality-wise. This kind of stuff threatens that achievement.
To Bally Sports and all the other people/corporations that are doing this kind of thing—how about instead of focusing on what makes us different, we focus on what makes us similar.

All they care about is the bottom line regarding $$$$ and the least amount of any sort of negative publicity as possible.

That’s true and it’s a shame. From what I’ve seen on social media—the pushback from baseball fans and Tigers fans for Morris’ suspension—Bally doesn’t have the best interests of the public (especially not the fans) at heart.
Fans pay the bills!

I consider him things I cannot say here in good will or by policies enforced. I'll leave it at that. Otherwise I do really like the Tigers. Hope the rebuild phase after Mr. I's passing all works out. Detroit is a great city with great fans, and they deserve a capable team again.

You aren’t, but I am sure if you went on a zoom meeting after a bottle of scotch your bosses might say something, Harry could do it while broadcasting to hundreds of thousands of people without a word being said

When I heard the Morris clip the first thing that came to mind was Elmer Fudd. But hey, twitter wants to make mountains out of a mole hill these days.

He used an over the top stereotypical Asian voice on the air. Not sure what you would expect.
It wasn't the worst thing ever said, but you just can't do that on tge air in this day and age. As a broadcaster you have to know that.

He’s not losing his job, organization took corrective action, he learned and will be back, and Shohei keeps hitting bombs. Seems all good to me.
