#nesn — Public Fediverse posts

My friend, Mark, won his sixth local Emmy for directing broadcast sports. Of course that came after he was already laid off. NESN is shit. #NESN #Sports #BeanPot #RedSox #Bruins

#NESN had a #GreenvilleDrive game on! How cool is that?

I had this in front of my face for a bit before my brain said "That's not Worcester."

"It's usually where the most overreaction comes in. Your closer"s in here in #SpringTraining and it's like, how worried are you? He had a 5.85 ERA in Spring Training and it's like, relax, it's the 3rd inning, it's the 4th inning...he's not throwing 99, it's 94-5 and what are we gonna see, and then it's Opening Day and here comes 99 and it's 3 punchouts and we're staring at people." ~A good example of why I enjoy #LouMerloni in the booth (talking about #AroldisChapman). #redsox #baseball #nesn

Oh, #nesn, HELL NO to that #ICE ad. #mlb #redsox #baseball

Congrats on 30 years to #tomcaron. At least #NESN's had the good sense to keep him around. #redsox

The Red Sox broadcasting arm, NESN, is making a big deal about having an all female broadcasting team for tonight's game. Knowing people who have worked for NESN my first cynical thought is, they're doing a test run of females because they can pay them less and they could save money with female staff.
Trenni Casey says stop the theatrics. If a female is qualified to do the job, hire her. There's no merit in a one-off gimmick. #RedSox #NESN #broadcasting #baseball

From nose to tail, the #NESN broadcast is dogshit. #RedSox

Random Thoughts

I am wrapping up my lunch break on this random Wednesday in March and I thought I’d jot down a couple of thoughts for posterity. Ready? Okay, let’s roll….

• Want to know something that sucks? I brought two ounces of Planters Salted Peanuts with me for lunch today (14 grams of protein). I took a small handful (my gastric bypassed body can’t handle more than a small handful at a time without getting sick) and popped it into my maw. I chewed it up a little (again, part of the post-gastric bypass world means chewing the holy hell out of everything, which sounds silly and obvious [like, didn’t you chew the holy hell out of everything before surgery? I thought I did, but apparently not] but until you fail to chew something down enough you can’t really understand) and suddenly and without warning I had to sneeze. Know what’s gross? Sneezing with a mouthful of partially chewed up peanuts… that’s what’s gross. Worse? 20 seconds after you sneeze, when you think you’ve recovered and cleaned up the mess… you sneeze again. Ugh.
• Elon Musk posted to his nazi social media site that he didn’t understand why people are out to get him. He said he sells things that are good and that he’s never hurt anyone. Never hurt anyone? Are you fucking kidding me, you fucking moron? This nazi fucker’s end can’t come soon enough. Deport his moronic ass to mars and be done with it.
• We have a contractor coming tomorrow. We have two contractors coming Friday. March 2025 will go down in family history as the month of the contractors. We just can’t get away from them. Please please please let this be the end of it for a while.
• We are one week and one day away from the start of the Boston Red Sox 2025 season. No matter what happens, they can’t be any more painful to watch than the Bruins were this year. Even if they come in dead last again it still won’t suck as badly as the B’s. I’m thinking about signing up for an online subscription to NESN (the New England Sports Network. The TV network that carries both the Red Sox and the Bruins). I think my days of being a radio-only Red Sox fan might be coming to an end. I haven’t decided one way or the other yet, but I think it’s going to happen… we’ll see.
• I don’t want to buy a tenor saxophone. I don’t want to buy a tenor saxophone. Did I mention I don’t want to buy a tenor saxophone? Who am I kidding. I want to buy a tenor saxophone. Only if it’s a good one though. Aw, hell.

Okay. I have to get back to work now. This is all I have time for right now. I’ll probably write up some more brain droppings later. It’s one of those days, if you know what I mean.

@bixfrankonis You're absolutely right, just watching it now after the fact. It's horrendous.

How can this happen live? Isn't any producer listening to the live mix? Amateur...

#RedSox #NESN #MLB #Baseball

One of my favorite moments ever. Miss these guys. #remyandorsillo #nesn #redsox #lunareclipse https://www.mlb.com/redsox/video/don-orsillo-gets-roasted-for-eclipse-misunderstanding?partnerId=web_video-playback-page_video-share

I'm not sure this game on #NESN can live up to its promise.

It’s still funny to me to see the digital ads of a local company broadcast onto the ice/boards of an away rink in Hockey.

For example, Mohegan Sun (regional casino in Nee England) currently appears prominently on the ice in Calgary.

I cut ties with the cable companies. I did this because I knew I wasn't watching enough to justify it.

And, I'm quite happy with my current streaming lineup... except for the lack of #NESN.

The streaming option to get NESN (which for those not in the know) carries both the #RedSox and #NHLBruins nearly exclusively is:

I think it has been a couple of years since I've had a cable package that included #NESN.

As a #Boston resident, the largest problem with that is I can't reliably watch the #RedSox or #NHLBruins

I'm going to be straight with you - I would not watch the majority of the games. I'm just not spending 2.5-4 hours watching sports on a - roughly - daily basis.

However, I miss being able to tune into the games. I miss having a pulse on the teams. I miss having the access.

#NewEngland friends with #baseball withdrawal: Collegiate ball, Westfield Starfires v Norwich Sea Unicorns on #NESN now, from Norwich CT where it is NOT RAINING, can you believe it?

#FCBL

What made Jerry Remy great and makes Lou Merloni the best among the crop of color guys on #NESN since is simple, but clearly not easy: they talk about the game. They talk about what's happening in this game, right now. It's not just rambling that could be between stockbrokers in the stands. #RSN #mlb #redsox #Boston #baseball #sports

#NESN 's decisions on #DonOrsillo just keep looking dumber every day. I say decisions plural because there was the decision to let him go, then also subsequent decisions to keep being dicks to him that I still just don't get (such as not letting him speak at Remy's Fenway memorial). #mlb #baseball #sports #baseballmastodon

I feel really uncomfortable about the continual pushing of gambling by #NESN. Too many families suffer because of addiction to betting, promoting that risk is not a good thing.

Ooh, live feed time! #RedSox #FenwaySouth #JetBluePark #NESN

NESN 7th player award voting is open. Who gets your vote? Definitely Uncle Nick for me. 😊

From #ChadFiinn #BostonGlobe:

The #RedSox #NESN booth will have some different faces in '23 with #DennisEckersley retiring and #TonyMassarotti not asked back.

#DaveOBrien returns to call most of the games, #MikeMonaco will be his fill in, #JahmaiWebster is the field reporter. #KevinYoukilis is the primary analyst, along with #KevinMillar, #LouMerloni and #WillMiddlebrooks. #TimWakefield will be an occasional third voice.

They may add 1 or 2 analysts. @[email protected] @[email protected]

It would be super great if Jack could stop saying "stroke it backhand into the slot". It's my least favorite of his expressions...🫠🫥🫣 #NESN #NHLBruins

The media section is so tight at the ASU arena, I can hear another broadcaster behind the #NESN announcers 😬
