Neither does Rob Manfred aka the Commisioner of Major League Baseball imo, but here we are
Manfred’s a dummy, for lack of a better word. XD
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.

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

That’s why I never got a Twitter account. It’s too much of a toxic cesspool to bother

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.

It was an Elmer Fudd imitation that was taken out of context. That’s what it sounded like to me. It obviously wasn’t a slur, nor was it intended to be. Shohei and Maddon said that they weren’t offended, regardless of the intention. Morris’ apology was very sincere.
His suspension should be undone.

My concern is Bally Sport’s term to describe the suspension length. What do they mean by “indefinitely”? Indefinitely can either mean an unspecified period of time or forever.

You’re not wrong. The toilet bowl of society.

Shohei and Maddon said that they weren’t offended, .Here's the thing about that, Shohei is one of the classiest, most professional of athletes in the world, whether it bothered him or not this is the response he'll give to avoid making it into something bigger distracting from the game. You can't use that to let Morris off the hook. He takes his suspension and tips his cap to Shohei for showing professional courtesy even after showing none himself, everyone moves on.

You gotta be kidding me?! They suspended Morris for that?!!! Unbelievable!!

It absolutely was an Asian voice joke. We did the voice as kids all the time. It's a mocking imitation of an Asian trying to speak English. A passing resemblance to Elmer Fudd is a coincidence.

My point is that he didn’t intend for it to be anti-Asian. You can see that in his apology, there was no bad intent at all

On another note, forget what I said about the Tigers bullpen.

I love our offense explosion but it’s a close game, who messed up this time?

Is it as bad as the Jays Bullpen. As soon as Charlie Yanktoyo walks out to the mound in the sixth, if the game is not a blowout I’m scared to watch the last three innings.

He needs to go. We need pitchers who don’t blow leads

These kids today have no clue who Elmer Fudd is. However, Jack Morris grew up with Elmer Fudd and so did I. That was the first thing that came to my mind. Not making fun of a Japanese accent. God people are sensitive jeez!

Agree. I’m not as old as y’all, but I did grow up watching Looney Tunes on those big DVD sets. Plenty of toons starring Elmer Fudd were on there, including the famous “Duck season, rabbit season” one. “It’s duck season, I demand that you shoot me now!”
