Whether he threw high or low isn't the issue.

Actually it is precisely the issue. You seem to think that there is only plunk and bean. I'd contend that throwing behind someone low in the zone has the big FU attached to it but means the pitcher doesn't want to bean someone. If he was trying to get Morgan to back up and hit him in the head, he would at least have been throwing at the letters.

I'll save the toolsy discussion for another day but the gist is we had players which were baseball dumb with some raw athletic ability who did well elsewhere which I blame on us not coaching them and telling them what was acceptable in terms of play.
