And Rhadigan is out!

Sources telling me this afternoon that the Texas Rangers will today fire rookie play-by-play voice John Rhadigan.

We knew Rhadigan was off to a rough start, but this seems unfair. He went into the season with zero play-by-play experience and it showed.

Not sure what the Rangers expected. But not even half-a-season as a learning curve?

Good riddance, now if we could just get Lewin back in there.

I'm happy. You figured that they would have auditioned people first. You know like mute a few broadcasts and have them do the play by play along to those. I dunno. Call me crazy.

Hi, 105.3, this is Nolan Ryan, I am trying to get in touch with Josh Lewin. Can you have him call me as soon as possible?

[TRAXX]

I’m sure Lewin is chuckling right now. Ill have to listen in tomorrow morning on 105.3 to see if they bring it up.

[Venom]

they are replacing him with Dave Barnett. He does a good job on the radio so we'll see if he transitions well.

[Big Dad]

Nice to see they made a mistake and were able to admit it .

i wish they would have put Busby in there instead of Barnett.

I like Rhadigan as a reporter, he's just not an announcer. big difference.

Exactly, he's good behind a desk but don't ask him to call a game on the fly, there's definitely an art to that.

I haven't watched too many rangers games this year, but Rhadigan must be pretty horrible if everyone wants Lewin back.

I didnt like him to be honest, he just couldnt do live tv. Not a in the moment guy, but I mainly listen to the radio and Eric Nadel (im betting thats mispelled)

"And that's strike three to Kinsler. Make that strike two."

"And it's a home run. Errrr. Ummmm. A run is going to score!"

That type of shit along with him being completely boring was unbearable.

I heard him mistake Kinsler for Andrus.

My favorite was,"And that was a slide, not a head first slide, just a slide."

Rhadigan sucked and I'm glad he's gone, but Lewin still blows goat.

So does 105.3, and 103.3, and most of 1310
