Really hope 98.5 keeps RJ on the morning show through the Bruins playoff run. Seems to work really well with Rich as well.

Ooo Mazz is right just now on the batters having an advantage over the pitcher when it comes to the pitch clock.

-.- I worded that in dyslexic fashion, pitchers having the advantage over the batters. But I agree with him.

Well Felger has made it clear that he’s rooting for the Bruins to fail.

That whole area is crazy sensitive. In today's medical world where they can put a stint in with a same day surgery through your leg, they are still hesitant to open up the nasal cavity. That says a lot.

Plus at the top of the nasal cavity is the cribriform plate, part of the ethmoid sinus, a very fragile bone and right behind it? The brain. Facial/nasal fractures can be very dangerous.

I don’t believe that Fred actually wrote that. It’s far too chill.

Felger would root for the Martians if War of the Worlds was real. Anything to be a contrarian

Bad example. I might too at this point in human history.

Shirtenlieb, Wallach, and Johnston is a solid show.

Shirtenlieb, Wallach, and Johnston is a solid show.

Since I have had enough of losing IQ points listening to Greg Hill letting Wiggie and Courtney speak I have been tuning into that show knowing there will be no Fred Toucher and have been enjoying it very much.

Hard agree to both. I wish Fred a full recovery, of course, but voice aside, I was already sick of the trials and tribulations of his experiences with dating apps and why his life sucks. The raspiness of his voice just exasperated it.

I don’t mind the Greg Hill show.

Devils-Bruins averaged a 0.7 rating and 1.40 million viewers in ABC’s NHL regular season finale Saturday night, marking the second-largest audience of the season behind only the Penguins-Bruins Winter Classic on TNT in January (1.78M). The Bruins have played in six of the seven most-watched games this season, the lone exception being Capitals-Hurricanes in the Stadium Series in February (1.14M).

Excluding the Winter Classic, it was the most-watched regular season NHL game on any network since the league began its new media rights deal at the start of last season.

Hockey night: Devils-Bruins, Frozen Four, hit highs Saturday

Saturday was hockey night in America as both the NHL on ABC and Frozen Four on ESPN2 hit viewership highs despite airing head-to-head.

RJ has been a great addition. Didn’t realize that he’s a pretty funny dude as well. Show just had a much more positive vibe in the morning that everyone wants. Listening to Fred’s life misery every morning was brutal. Hopefully he gets himself right but I’m really enjoying the trio. Wallach seems much more comfortable without Fred always going after him.

Not for nothing, but I don't know why anyone listens to Sports Radio any more.

There are so many podcasts that feature well-informed experts on specific teams that don't manage to insult their audience's intelligence at nearly every turn.

For instance, "Morning Bru" is 1,000 times better at discussing the Bruins than any Sports Radio show in this town.

Because podcasts are generally absolute garbage. They are almost always formatted and produced very poorly.

I listened to Morning Bru, but I soured after they got involved with NESN.

Sports Hub Underground is really good with Ty Anderson and Matt Dolloff

Are we STILL listening to him?

You're tougher than me. I can't stomach that feckin weasel.

How is this repetitive show called 'z&b' when z bails everytime the show focuses on another sport aside fuseball.

 

[McGarnagle]

Jon Wallach figured out that Jack Edwards' call on Pastrnak's 61st goal last night was a reference to Phil Rizzuto's call of Roger Maris' 61st homerun in 1961.

Talk about a deep cut, I wonder how long Jack had that one in the can

Well Felger has made it clear that he’s rooting for the Bruins to fail.

He's saying if they don't win, this season was for naught. And he's not entirely wrong. I don't think it's ruins the season if they don't win the cup, but if they get bounced in 4 straight by Florida, it would be a disappointment.

Besides, you do realize he's trolling right? Even if they did lose. it's good for his show.

Win win for him, but the Bruins are the only Boston team he's a fan of. I see where he's coming from.
