This is what really changed my mind. Looking back on the original time Morgan was plunked in that Marlins game. Riggleman as much as admitted he knew Nyjer stealing those bases would escalate the situation but gave him a green light anyway. He is still providing a green light despite the fact that Morgan has exhibited both poor results and judgement in the past regarding stealing bases and a near total ignorance of unwritten rules.
Even worse, after the steals, after the brawl, no one has explained to Nyjer why he broke all these unwritten rules which caused the Marlins to threw behind him or how throwing behind him in that case expressed lack of enthusiasm for the task. The guy still thinks he got suspended for hitting a catcher and took a suspension for standing up for his teammates. This is not a productive coaching situation which is why no matter how much of jackass he has been the coaches are part and parcel of the problem.
