Listen to his comment again. He is calling out Morel for hitting .229 and trotting around the bases like he is hot stuff. Willson at least is a better hitter and is hitting .280.
Edmonds is forgetting a very big point to a celebration...whether at home or away, the fans want to be entertained and teams and the MLB want more fans because it provides revenue by increased attendance. Whether baseball or football, fans that enjoy the game more will attend more.
In case you ddn't notice, the game has changed but Edmonds was a showboat his entire career . An excited young kid celebrating his 2nd homer of the day shouldn't be chastised for his enthusiastic trip around the bases , it happens every day in baseball and Edmonds claimed he'd ne er seen anything like it before . Like Molina , Bader or Contreras never did anything like that ? Edmonds has always been a jerk . Some things never change !
Morel has less cred to hotdog because of all his strikeouts and rollover ground balls in key situations. Don't think he's showing anyone up, he plays the game with great joy. At the same time, always nice to see Cardinals butthurt.
Edmonds was a showboating clown for his whole career and he's bashing a kid hitting near .200 for being excited about a 2 Homer day . What a clown ! Then he exclaims that he's never seen anything like it before . Really ? What games has he been watching ? Never had any respect for him anyway , showboat Jim .
Jim Edmonds is a jerk he always has been. It wasn't a big deal he was keyed up after hitting a home run, but the comments about the fans weight was way out of line. From a Cardinals fan
Are you serious? While I agree that he didn't spend time trying to show other teams up, Jim Edmonds was one of the cockiest, self-absorbed players I can recall.
Hell, every home run celebration is a joke ! Act as if you have hit a home run before ! MLB let's players do this to promote the sport , just like the NFL and their end zone celebrations.
Cardinals folks have won a couple of World Series championships in my lifetime, yet everyone has an elitist demeanor. They golf-clap at home games in high-leverage moments. Uptight. I know a guy who got kicked out because he refused to change his Joe Maddon “Try not to suck” t-shirt.
Literally 99% of players celebrate like this now. Is this one of those idoitic "unwritten rules"? Edmonds needs to be wheeled back to the retirement home so he can eat his applesauce and drink his prune juice
Thanks for proving Jim’s point… He had swag because he was great….You can be swaggy if you’re great… .229 is terrible. That’s WAY below league average with is also horrible… Have some respect
Jim Edmonds didnt play "look at me baseball". Yer feelers got hurt so now yer gonna take shots. Of course if I was a fan of a team consistantly getting its ass kicked for over a century Id be a little salty when my big brother made a comment on my guys celbrating.
Like my coaches told me, when I played baseball in high school. “If you hit a home run, act like you’ve been there before.” Today’s ball players need to learn to respect the game. I’m a Cubs fan, but I hate the showboating you see from just about all the players in this generation. Give me the likes of Aaron, Mays, Williams, Mantle and Banks - guys who hit tons of home runs, ran the bases without pounding their chests, flipping their bats, or waving at God…. Let the home run speak for itself! Baseball doesn’t need the stupid celebrations soccer and hockey have on the rare occasion when someone scores a goal. Celebrations are for the fans in the stands, not the players on the field, unless you’ve won the pennant or World Series.
Jim Edmonds with a typical Cards fan type response. At this point just an old man with fist raised yelling at clouds 😂
I bet Edmonds has no problem with Willy hitting a homer and basically walking around the bases.

I also forget to mention Morel does it on his own ability, unlike Bonds that he referred to was using steroids.

I have no doubt that Edmonds has a "Get Off My Lawn" sign in his yard AND sits by the front room window to watch for those grass intruders! 🤣
Thank you to 670 for highlighting these horrible commentating moments. Jim Edmonds with an obnoxious take, he needed to get called out for that
He may not be Barry Bonds, but you Cardinals ain't the Yankees. Not even close.
Nope. They aren’t. But the Cubs are down on the level of the Orioles, Twins and White Sox who’ve only won 3 titles.

Jim Edmonds 393 career home runs, I'm sure he took his time rounding the bases a time or two! LOL

Did they called Jim Edmonds "Hollywood" back in the day?

Jim Edmonds never was cocky and showed out other teams, he was pretty chill with great talent.

Jim Edmonds is a jerk!
Jim Edmonds is a 🤡
Sheev Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious or simply the Emperor, is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the Star Wars franchise.
Edmonds was a showboat. Funny how its different for him when an opposing player milks it.
Edmonds never showboated.
Great,comment,big deal,the announcer was doing his thing,big deal!
I thought Jim Edmonds faded away.
Yes the cubs complained. For two months
Morel has a -0.1 WAR he isn’t helping the cubs win anything. Defensive liability/permanent DH. How is he wrong?
Morel hit 22 more Hr than he did his first 3 seasons. Morel is still completing season 3 lmfao 🤣.
If the player is a cub of course
Cub for life Jim Edmonds betrayed us
Jim Edmonds is just hater 🤡🖕
Morel needs to celebrate anything good. .202 Battering average has to improve. What is up with the low batting average!
Hell, every home run celebration is a joke ! Act as if you have hit a home run before ! MLB let's players do this to promote the sport , just like the NFL and their end zone celebrations.
Morel batting avg 202 according Cubs website so Edmonds was kind to him.

I have one of those shirts. 😅

little bit of old boy's club racism coming from old jimmy boy there.
Thanks for proving Jim’s point… He had swag because he was great….You can be swaggy if you’re great… .229 is terrible. That’s WAY below league average with is also horrible… Have some respect
I’ll say it since non of you are saying it. Edmonds a racist if he didn’t do it to PCA?
Old man, trying to stay relevant, says something controversial... shocking....
If it was an opposing player doing Morel's partying, all of Chicago media would cry and whine for hours.
Telling the truth
Hey Mr. Fall in line or, or, or,........well, you know.
