I think the point was that Morgan and McCarver perpetuate the myths about "the bat crossing the plane of the plate", or "the batter breaking his wrists" as being determining factors to whether a checked swing is a strike or not.
Coaches and players hear them say this, and then use it on the umpires by saying, "c'mon Blue, he broke his wrists!" or "The bat went across the plate, Blue, that's automatically a strike!"
