This is what everyone wanted, right? To see how Nyjer Morgan responded to his most recent suspension? Well, wait no longer. Here you go, baby birds.
Nyjer Morgan's reaction to his eight-game suspension: "Man, they threw the book at me ." #Nats
More from #Nats CF Nyjer Morgan: "What did I do? I feel I haven’t done anything. They are blowing this way out of proportion because I’m a hard-nosed player -- because I knocked over a catcher. They throw the ball at me. Come on, what am I supposed to do?"
It's difficult to see Morgan as a victim in all this, but one could certainly argue that each incident should be seen in isolation rather than as one of a series, as the latter reduces the willingness to give him the benefit of the doubt. One could probably give reasonable explanations for each of the incidents that took place, and it was only the fact that they all happened so close to one another that led to Morgan facing a 15-game vacation.
