PawSox Radio Broadcaster Josh Maurer to fill in for NESN Red Sox play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo

By
July 10, 2015

NESN Red Sox play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo's in-season break is scheduled for the upcoming road trip to Anaheim and Houston that immediately follows the All-Star Break (July 17th to July 23rd). Orsillo will return to the booth on Friday, July 24th.

Pawtucket Red Sox play-by-play voice Josh Maurer will fill in for Orsillo during his week off. Maurer is in his second season with the PawSox. Maurer also serves as the radio voice for the UMass football and men's basketball teams, a position he has held since 2008. His minor league baseball play-by-play experience also includes two seasons with the Trenton Thunder and four seasons with the Charleston RiverDogs. Maurer has also called college football and basketball on television for Comcast SportsNet and Campus Insider's Atlantic 10 coverage.

Ironically, Don Orsillo was the PawSox radio broadcaster from 1997-2000 before landing the NESN Red Sox job. Several former PawSox broadcasters are currently in the "big leagues" - all of whom have gone directly from Pawtucket to the major leagues - including: Gary Cohen (PawSox radio in 1987 & '88) who has been with the New York Mets ever since leaving the PawSox, Don Orsillo (1997-2000) who is in his 15th year with the Boston Red Sox on NESN this season, Dave Flemming (2001-2003) who has been a radio voice of the San Francisco Giants for the past 11 years, Andy Freed (2001-2004) who has called Tampa Bay Rays games since leaving Pawtucket, Dave Jageler (2005) who was with the PawSox for just one season before he took over as the Washington Nationals radio voice where he has remained since, Dan Hoard (2006-2011) who earned the call to the National Football League with the Cincinnati Bengals in the fall of 2011, Aaron Goldsmith (2012) who was one year and done with the PawSox before heading to Seattle where he has been a radio play-by-play man for the Mariners, Bob Socci (2013) who departed from the PawSox in July of 2013 to become the play-by-play voice of the Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots, and most recently Jeff Levering (PawSox radio in 2013 & 2014) who earned a radio job with the Milwaukee Brewers prior to this season.
