Jerry Remy Signs New Multiyear Deal

I did see Remy play and that was his game. A lot of bunting, a .275 BA with zero power and not a lot of walks.

I think Remy was more on top of his game last year, but I think he actually had an interesting team to talk about, which hadn't been the case the prior two years.

Personally, I liked Orsillo. I think they clowned around because they were probably told to by some of the higher ups. I like O'Brien's voice for radio but didn't care for him on TV as much.

I prefer Eck as color man, but he doesn't do road trips. O'Brien is just dull. The Gold Standard was Ned Martin.

Glad to read about Jerry's new contract. I've enjoyed his banter over the years with Orsillo and now with O'Brien. Some may find his act a little overbearing, but bear in mind there is a lot of down time in baseball games. He fills the voids in an entertaining way.

His overall performance did improve in 2016 as he became more analytical in his commentary.

Go Rem Dog!

...and blocked.  Goodbye.

Do we not recall all the articles about how Remy influenced the system to have his son's previous sentences reduced ? I'm sure the Martel family is thrilled with this.

I believe there's a limit. His son had multiple occasions of some heavy duty assault issues and pretty much got away with all of them. There has to be a point where you realize your not helping but hurting your son. He crossed that line long before someone died.

Now for a live look in at the Jerry Remy thread:

It's one thing to not agree with how a parent handled an extremely difficult situation. You didn't do that. You directly compared him to a person who abused their SO. There's a pretty big difference.

I will also back out of here now.

You can take it there if you want, but let's move on from that topic of conversation in this thread. Thanks.

Good news. Remy brings an authentic tone to the broadcast (as does Eck). It's too bad Orsillo had to be replaced with Mr. Milquetoast O'Brien. YAWN!

Perhaps. I guess I was just thinking back to that ridiculous pizza throwing incident in the stands that NESN seemed to want to milk for all that it was worth. Basically giving a free platform for boorish and immature behavior. I figured somebody at NESN wanted to get a lot of mileage out of that incident. I didn't think it was Remy who wanted to have the cameraman spend all day focusing on such foolishness. I figured it was a higher up trying to encourage that stuff. NESN has spent so much time on fluff stuff that a lot of times the game took a backseat (and I'm not even talking about the clowning around with Orsillo and Remy).
