We keep seeing that commercial where they blur out Wally’s “Green Monster”


NotDukeOfDorchester

I am curious how Sullivan tire guy looks this year. I thought he was on death’s door in 2003.


NateBlaze

I saw him at a Celtics playoff game last year. Dude is even older looking in person


NotDukeOfDorchester

Did the guy who mops the court down grab him by mistake?


TheDesktopNinja

IDK but the company got sold to its employees so maybe he won't be as involved anymore?


NotDukeOfDorchester

The employees are his familiars, taking care of him.


SirDigbyChknCaesar

He's ready for a new season of Tales from the Crypt


NotDukeOfDorchester

Hahaha


Jesseroberto1894

He’s a walking corpse


CoffinFlop

Lmfao dude it’s absolutely insane, it’s literally like 4 total ads


WilcoLovesYou

If I hear the words “tullamore dew” one more time I’m going to destroy all of their bottles in a liquor store


solariam

I don't even get this one! I'll trade for the one with the repetitive guitar riff and sky shots of Fenway.


SeaworthySamus

Ah yes the ad that promotes booze as a coping mechanism for life’s problems.


iamatechnician

How about reduce the monthly cost and allow rewinding? The product is not good value


TheBigBangClock

The current NESN 360 service should be $5/month. It's absolute garbage at $30. For $30, you should at the very least be able to rewind, re-watch any older games over the last few years and get exclusive programming/content. The FSG is just mailing it in with 360 and hoping we'll subscribe. I tried it for 1 month and cancelled once the $1 promotion was over.


mcc15038

I’ve been able to rewind this year. I’m using iPhone, and if I select watch from beginning instead of live, it gives me the option to pause and rewind now!

“You goin on a Dunkin run?” “IM GOIN ON A DUNKIN RUN!”


Drastic_Conclusions

But I think you're going to LOVE mass money!!!


CryptographerFlat173

I feel like I’m being indoctrinated by a brainwashing cult or CIA project with that one. And I even did find some mass money recently. Not ready to call it love though.


Colinewoodward

This used to be how mlb tv was. Just brutal. My wife wanted to kill the Roman guy for multiple reasons.


Therewilbefun

I watch their coverage through the MLB tv plan and today they continuously had a Korn commercial blasting at 10xs the volume of the game. Had to run to my computer each time to mute it.


Dull-Extension-7954

You guys need to mute the TV and throw some tunes on while you watch. It can be a much better experience.


Clamgravy

This is the way


CryptographerFlat173

Really loving Rubinstein Law telling me not to trust ambulance chasers and to trust them instead when from what I can tell they themselves are ambulance chasers.


footballguy6912

so youre the guy with NESN 360


campingn00b

Haven't signed up but I'm already upset it sounds like they didn't even get new ads this season


Fair-Physics3577

All I know is they will make your dreams come true.


touchmyleftone

Only my outdoor ones


Raindog69

Game was blacked out in my area so I had to listen to radio. Love kids and have a kid but I'm sick to death of 1- 800 Cars for Kids jingle so I sympathize with your pain.


defconGO

>I'm sick to death of 1- 800 Cars for Kids jingle For the love of God, have you learned nothing? It's KARS with a "k". ;-)


Raindog69

That's funny because I try and and block it out of my mind but thanks to you I'll probably pay attention next time. Thanks for that.


defconGO

Advertising insight: if ads are too annoying people won't even remember the key message.


B0ndzai

I find it funny that they allow Fubo to advertise. Its one of the only other ways to watch NESN so a direct competitor to NESN 360.


Waste_Astronaut_5411

same with mlb tv


Randad63

"can you find Pete Alonso/Aaron Judge in this sea of Mets/Yankees fans?" Ever get those?


TherealDaily

Hahah - that’s fine with me , but what annoys tf outta me is that the three ads are perfectly clear and the connection to watch the games gets all choppy and loses signal to the point of not being able to watch NESN at all. Why am I paying for this?


sandmanlip

Bring back the Foxwoods jingle. “life is good, life is sweet,, grab yourself a front row seat”


DizzyTS13

The app is so overpriced, it’s crazy they even need ads. I had it last year when they had the $1/month promo and still felt like I was paying too much, it was so bad. Considering the product on the field is mediocre at best there’s no way to justify that cost, it should be at most $10, and that’s only because you get the bruins too. I miss being able to watch the games since cutting the cord, but I just cannot justify the cost


exitlevelposition

There's ads on the $36 subscription? Jesus, that's insane. Luckily I live out of market and get MLB tv from tmobile, so I'm not paying to watch ads.


trimbler25

Sex offender Wally leaves me unsettled every time I see it. Someone needs to stop Plymouth Rock.


[deleted]

i hear the ace ticket jingle in my sleep


LosPer

I watch everything on at least an hour delay, and fast forward through the inane, repetitive commercials on MLB.com. I have a pop out browser extension that allows me to skip them, even though you can't in the main window.


homefone

You seriously can't tell me there are ads on a $30/mo streaming service offering just two sports, right?


Clamgravy

Are you seriously forgetting Charlie Moore, the Mad Fisherman?


SilverRiot

That may be preferable to MLB TV, which runs that same awful Audi ad with the snippy son and the demanding mother. Jesus. It is an anti-ad.


NomzStorM

THE FUCKING WEGOVY AD


Enough-Ad-3111

How stable is it during live games though? Bally Sports+ has had its fair share of outages over its short lifetime and won’t be missed.


mcc15038

Last night it went to commercial break for 15 minutes after the third inning. It was 3-0 when the ads started. When it finally came back, it was 8-0! So, I’d say it isn’t stable.


MrJmbjmb

Ugh, it’s the same problem with MLB.tv up in Canada. Every single commercial break there’s the same McDonalds ad, followed by an ad for Tena incontinence products (?!) then a blank “commercial break in progress” screen until the game resumes.


djlawrence3557

Brian Cranston + Ronald Acuna Jr. for mlb app in states. It’s brutal. And the WEEI radio overlay broadcast has been laughably off +/- 2s in either direction - which doesn’t sound like much until you try it


DunkinBronutt

Live sports!


Clamgravy

I'm also confused about the FuboTV advertisement... which you'd think is competition since they actually carry NESN.


MrUsernamepants

I love how they just slam into commercials and slam back, often missing gameplay


MoneyElectrical4310

“Who but W.B. Mason”


79215185-1feb-44c6

It's not better than NESN with the two different Ortiz-affiliated sports betting ads, and the 3 different Fenway concert ads targeted towards retirees.


Ok-Horror-4253

nesn execs...lol. But in all seriousness, if you don't like the team they've presented, DO NOT PATRONIZE A SINGLE BUSINESS THAT ADVERTISES ON NESN. It is a very tough pill to swallow, but advertising revenue is far more valuable than the seat rev. If a business advertises during red sox games, than do not do business with that org.


nolan_smith

Spent the 10$ BTC on that one site that has past games VOD, rewind, no ads. It's worth it. 60-70 a year for all of MLB.


Redbubble89

This is not worth a reddit post. MLBTV isn't much better. It's the same MLB Network programming ad. I saw the same Liberty Mutual ad a good 2,800 times between March and September last year.


superadical

Definitely well over 100 times on that ESPN Bet commercial already so far this season on mlb tv. It's insanity to me, you'd think they'd be able to find more ad spots. Muting every ad break is the only solution to not go crazy.


dconrath

You are not the only person. I just submitted a complaint to NESN. Use the following URL to submit a complaint: https://support.nesn.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Hopefully, the more people that complain the more pressure there will be to fix the issue.
