As Brian on another thread said, “You must be a player to be a good analyst,” and I think he’s right

Joe Morgan, on the national radio feed, “analyzing” Game 5:

“The Yankees are going to be relaxed and that can be good or it can be bad. The Phillies are going to be anxious and sometimes that can work in your favor.  I think that one or the other team is going to come out and set the tone for the game.  One of the keys for the Phiilies is to get ahead.  They cannot go into the late innings trailing.”

I could not have analyzed the game better myself since I have never played professionally.
