The Red Sox's Patronizing Attempts At Engaging Female Fans Fell Flat
Briefly

"Unfortunately and inexplicably though, NESN is jamming them in there alongside Dave O'Brien and Kevin Youkilis, rather than letting them call the game on their own. This decision makes the game feel like a stunt more than anything, and a four-person booth seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Next time, just let Tiedemann and Pay do their jobs." - Dan Secatore, Over the Monster.
"Not only is this crowding the booth, but the Sox are missing a huge opportunity to connect with women. Maybe the men in charge are looking at this a different way, but I assure you, women see this and think: They don't trust us to handle the job on our own."
"In the pregame show, Tom Caron repeatedly mentioned this historic broadcast as a source of 'inspiration,' yet the opportunity to truly celebrate equality was diluted by the lack of trust shown in allowing women to lead the broadcast independently."
