Nice guy.

He's filled in before and done fine.

Will be interesting to see how he develops with the full-time job though.

Josh was great when the team was bad, but as they became good IMO his play by play suffered because it became more about the game than his pop cultrue references.

I dont know if he is anywhere near being the greatest...Lucas and Hitzges and Busby and Sundberg IMO were just as good

Tom and Josh were, by far, the best team in baseball.

Holtz did TV for the Rangers for two and a half seasons before his health failed...I didn't even remember him on the radio. I didn't really follow the Rangers until around 1995 though, so that's not surprising.

he was solid on TV..but him and Nadel on radio was true magic....My dad and I would have to find the radio signal back in the 80's in East Texas because we did not have cable..that meant sometimes going back in the pasture on our land to get a clear signal..but it was worth it even with the team being bad

Not at all! Lewin was the biggest homer I've ever heard. If you ask me he was a bigger homer than Milo Hamilton.
