That was the first one I saw and I thought maybe my feed was behind. Then I was still confused because the guy batting wasn't the top guy listed. It was just the "next three." But isn't the point of "due up" to let you know these three batters WILL be up when play starts? I don't mind if they flash who's on deck but using "due up" where people aren't used to seeing it is just confusing and the third guy listed might not bat until the next inning anyway.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-71556209887201686042017-06-09T20:54:35.106-07:002017-06-09T20:54:35.106-07:00On our screen, the column was actually cut off on ...On our screen, the column was actually cut off on the left-hand side, so the information that was being given was difficult to read. I hope it appeared like that on many people's TVs.<br /><br />Who wants that shit on the screen? No one. Anyone who needs to know who the top 3 leaders are in AL doubles will look it up on whatever device they have with them while they watch the TV.<br /><br />Casual fans don't care about what's being posted and serious fans hate it.

Last night I did what you did, occasionally noticing these odd stats and WTF-ing them. But here's the thing: I didn't know this was part of the broadcast! I assumed it was to the side of the viewing box in my browser. Like, they knew they had space around the "screen," unlike with TV, so they made use of the space. So while I thought it was dumb, I had no idea this is what people were seeing ON THEIR TVs. That is incredible.<br /><br />The weird thing is, seeing it tonight it's pretty obvious that it's actually taking up space and then disappearing, giving me the full screen again. (I guess since it was unprecedented, I was just assuming that any screen shrinking was only on the website.)Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-36629062201860065892017-06-09T10:29:24.316-07:002017-06-09T10:29:24.316-07:00It turns out SoSH didn't like it either:
paul...It turns out SoSH didn't like it either:<br /><br />paulb0t<br />This is the first time I'm seeing the left bar/enhanced stats window on the NESN broadcast. It's horrible. I hope it's also the last time.<br /><br />SemperFidelisSox<br />So that giant enhanced stats graphic on the left side of the screen is annoying.<br /><br />AimingForYoko<br />What's up with the sidebar on NESN? I feel like I'm watching CNBC edit: now it's gone...hopefully forever<br /><br />schillzilla<br />This side bar is incredibly annoying. It's like I'm watching it on my computer. Give me the full view please!<br /><br />AimingForYoko<br />you'd think they'd try fixing their atrocious website first<br /><br />AimingForYoko<br />I do not give a flying fuck who the AL doubles leaders are. Get off my screen.<br /><br />MuzzyField<br />If only NESN could just emphasize more blue in its graphics!<br /><br />rymflaherty<br />The O's games were local/blacked out and been watching this series on National TV, so your post made me turn on NESN...and man you weren't kidding. Can't believe they were obstructing that much of the screen to show Team Leaders - Doubles...makes no sense.<br /><br />paulb0t<br />If it wasn't the MFY I'd be half tempted to switch to the away feed.<br /><br />boxosll<br />It seems that NESN's attitude is that the game isn't enough<br /><br />MuzzyField<br />Hey NESN, who are the NL leaders in.... anything.<br /><br />IpswichSox<br />What genius at NESN thought these graphics were a good idea? The same guy who didn't renew Orsillo's contract?<br /><br />Bergs<br />Gotta hand it to NESN, they're really getting downright creative in finding new ways to fucking suck.<br /><br />twibnotes<br />Political news via the NESN sidebar!? I watch baseball to forget about that stuff! [head explodes]<br /><br />Comfortably Lomb<br />I want to watch the game, not see what NESN thinks top stories are... <br /><br />Comfortably Lomb<br />WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A CRAIG KIMBREL SIDEBAR RIGHT NOW. Now: saves leaders in a game in which the Sox are down by 6.<br /><br />Comfortably Lomb<br />The tiny picture in picture is a special kind of hot shit too.<br /><br />Comfortably Lomb<br />Sidebar is now babbling about Sandy Leon's walkoff. It's basically having a John McCain moment.<br /><br />twibnotes<br />Anyone know which Yankees are due up?allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-18139325682047462622017-06-09T07:01:59.849-07:002017-06-09T07:01:59.849-07:00Ya those graphics bugged me too.

Aside from the irrelevancy that you pointed out or plain and simple is a distraction to the viewer and also decreases the size of the actual game you are watching. So much for that new big screen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269940434291802106noreply@blogger.com
