Morgan would sometimes have incredibly insightful commentary - like when describing baserunning - and then he'd contradict himself with stupid platitudes that I'm sure he believes but he sure didn't follow when he played.
Miller is a huge bummer, and what's worse is that the replacements are undoubtedly going to be worse. I can already hear a three man booth with some moron like John Kruk in it.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I hope this leads to more Chris Berman.

I never really liked Miller, because I (perhaps unfairly) always thought he was a bit too much of a SF/Bonds homer, but he does have a good voice, and his replacement will certainly be a downgrade.

As a radio announcer for the Orioles, Miller was fantastic, IMO. I never thought his TV work equaled his radio.
Lil Joe was one of my favorite Colt .45's back in the day.

They put in one broadcaster a year, and there's whole lot of politics and a rather large backlog. Miller will get in if he's not, but if he's not in, it's because there's a whole lot of local favorites that are retiring/very old that people want to induct before... you know.
