Jeez.. have these two women ever listened to someone like Jon Miller, Vin Scully call games??
 

This play by play duo is just straight up brutal. Perhaps the worst I have ever heard do a baseball game. Yikes.. that’s not hyperbole, sadly.  High pitched: Yap yap yap yap yap yap yap yap yap yap yap… who okayed these two?

Go apologize to your mom for this post

Hardly. You aren’t a must read.

Not all women sound like squirrels.. it just so happens that a few that do are now calling Red Sox games.

Going to San Diego for the Sunday game to see if the Sox can actually play well on the West Coast.

Stream online dude.. I watch games from Poland, no issues. 🇵🇱 🇵🇱 Dzień dobry!! 

I also have no desire to watch the Seadogs. I’ll leave that to fans like MVP who has no life besides baseball.

[YastrzemskI]

Worst broadcast in Red Sox history.. calling it.

You can turn off the volume. It is bad but it doesn’t bother me much.

NESN had to one up the ESPN crew.

It would be fitting if the Sox lose this game. We get a segment on women’s hockey including an extended interview while completely ignoring the baseball game on the field.. coupled with the fact that the play by play team sounds like fast talking squirrels. This is a Major League Baseball broadcast.. supposedly.

Let’s go!

NESN controls the horizontal. NESN controls the vertical.

One of each.. hence all the back and forth yapping. This is a perfect example of try hard rookies behind the mic.  Holy smokes these people just can’t stop yapping for even a second.. (((facepalm)))

Fourth highest chase rate. Not the worst. But close:

Rank	Team	Chase Rate (O-Swing%)
1	Colorado Rockies	26.1%
2	Los Angeles Angels	25.8%
3	Detroit Tigers	23.5%
4	Boston Red Sox	23.4%

Hey man… been a while… can’t believe what happened with Devers. Incomprehensible.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby Witt, Jr. IMHO, the best all-around player in MLB.

Who's Devers? Good to have you here.

Ya mean the guy with the blinkie who sat on the cooler. Now I'm remembering.

[YastrzemskI]

Aaaaaaand we are 1-1 in top of the 5th after a very sleepy bottom of the 4th.

[FredLynn]

Where’s my buddy Rafaela tonight? How can we possibly win without him? 😉

Maybe Duran will make it until the end of the year. Haven’t watched much the last year or so. The team looks unrecognizable.

[YastrzemskI]

Wow.. these voices in the broadcast booth. Have mercy.
