    Nyjer Morgan following in Hanley Ramirez footsteps (or lack of)

    In today's Bal/Wash game, Adam Jones hit a fly ball and when Morgan failed to catch the ball, he gave up on the play. These guys are some great role models.

    The manager should have walked out to CF and pulled him out of the game.

    He thought it went over the fence he said it postgame. Look at the replay he never sees the ball hit the ground. Im not saying he did the right thing but at least he show some emtion out there. Any1 who has knows morgan knows hes not a guy that gives up on plays..

    definitely not as bad as the hanley incident (that was lack of hustle), but more stupid.

    its fairly obvious he thought the ball cleared the wall. probably will get a talk from riggleman to keep his head in the game but won't be benched at all.

    He thought it went over the wall, it's more acceptable than Hanley's.
