As Mookie Betts stepped into the batter's box at the beginning of Monday's game in Atlanta, NESN's Steve Lyons remarked that Atlanta starter Touki Toussaint usually "pitches in the 93 mph range". A "range" is usually more than one speed. Less than five minutes later, Dave O'Brien informed us that J.D. Martinez had hit five home runs in his last four games against Atlanta. That means he's going deep for sure today, right? ... I expected that it would be a great day for NESN Nonsense™.
I was not disappointed. ... Well, I was disheartened to know that O'Brien and Lyons were being forced on Red Sox fans who deserve far better, but I heard more idiocy than I expected.
