Can't wait to hear Josh Lewin's voice again

PrintI've been missing it. He is to the Rangers as Hawk Harrelson is to the White Sox, Harry Doyle is to the Indians and Babe Laufenberg to the Cowboys. Can't wait to see, and hear, Josh and Tag, the best TV broadcast tandem in the game, together again for another exciting season of Texas Ranger baseball. Hopefully they decide to do a broadcast again this season with their shirts off.

Yeah
I’ve got a weakness for Josh and TAG. Their voices are just part of the fabric of summer
I want the last couple minutes of my life back asshole

It took you a couple minutes to read that paragraph?

It’s got a hurler feel to it.

Thanks again for all you do, Josh.

I don't know why many of you think this...
But they are NOT terrible announcers. Yes, they can be a bit annoying or off the wall at times (which I don’t think we can blame them for, as they deal with several absolute CRAP games a year), but they’re endearing, genuine, and pretty honest about the team they’re broadcasting for.
I don’t know how many teams can say that they are fortunate enough to have broadcasters as good as the ones we as Rangers fans are blessed with, but I can assure you, this Rangers fan does appreciate the commentary and broadcasting that Josh and TAG put up each year.

Take a listen
to the Mariners broadcasters….It’s like listening to a nap.

Somebody should edit this into a Rally picture for a Game Day Thread
I wouldn’t know what to call it, though. Like a Rally WTF?
I somehow missed this…what’s the story behind it?

i pretty much agree
i find josh pretty entertaining. he is appropriately self-effacing and doesnt seem to take himself or anything too seriously. things would get really boring over the course of 162 games if it werent for his quirky digressions. i would much rather listen to him than the boilerplate analysis that someone like joe buck provides.

Good analysis.
And yes, Joe Buck bores me to tears. I’d rather watch paint dry.

Listening to Hawk...
call that Ranger ST game the other day on the MLB network was torture. Damn is that guy horrible.

Amen
What is it with him and baseball acumen? That’s all he talked about — that, and the “great energy” from management. And what is it about Chicago baseball teams and their tendency to hold on to announcers years after they’ve lost their minds and control of their bladders?
I punched myself in the nuts every time he made a homerun call.

I am with you buddy
I am a die hard J-Lew fan as well.
I will defend him to my grave. I would not pick anybody over him.
+ 1 Josh Rocks!
It’s wayyyyy better to have too much personality than too little.
I know it can get on some nerves but at least you never fall asleep while you’re listening.

I actually really do like
Josh. For those that aren’t wrapping their arms around Barnett, get ready, he’ll be taking over once Lewin finds West coast work to go with his Chargers gig.

I've heard him talk off air
about how much he loves living in Southlake — said it’s a great place to raise kids. I doubt he’s going anywhere…

I like his segments for the element of unknown they bring.

Sort of
I can’t say for certain if I’m laughing at him or with him. But, he’s go nothing to work with. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve cringed watching him interview some half-retarded cousin-fucker in the fox box, or some 90-year-old who can barely hear what he’s saying. I also enjoy it when he panders to troops or fringe celebrities. You can almost sense how desperately he wants that TV check. Gotta love him. Or not.

I totally agree
I love Josh/TAG. They’re almost like a goofy guy/straight guy comedy tandem. And Josh is a good play-by-play dude as well.
I agree with the above though that I’m not sure Hawk Harrelson makes a favorable comparison.
I'm not sure if it was last year or the year before...
but does anyone remember watching Josh out there in the centerfield kiddy park taking wiffle ball hacks? STR-UUU-GGGGLLLL-INGGGG.

I heard
About 2 months ago, dialing around the satellite radio one night, I heard Chuck Morgan on one of the country music stations and the conversation got around to baseball. Clowning around Chuck and the host did some fake play by play and he was pretty good. The host ask him if would like to do that and Chuck said that if were to do that, he would have had to started a long time ago that it was too late now. Granted he was making it up, but he sound pretty calling a fake Josh Hamilton home run.
They also played some old clips of Chuck announcing at the Grand Ole Opry introducing singers and reading some old Martha White Flour commercials.
Lot more excitement in Chuck’s voice than Dave Barnett’s, but again it was fake play by play.
I believe Chuck was working at the Grand Ole Opry
when I went there with my grandparents many years ago…of course, that was way before my Rangers consciousness.

I love the Lewin/TAG combo....
but I hate Jim Knox. That dude’s got a HUGE bag of nothing!! When he comes on, I immediately hit mute on the TV and catch up on the Gameday thread.
"You shut your mouth when you're talking about the Rangers!!"
so you go from avoiding him on tv..
to the gameday thread where at the same time there is usually a deluge of Knoxie pedophile jokes.
The power of Jim Knox, catch it!
Don’t forget the kwell lotion!
What's the Nef tally??
It would be funny if somebody parodied this fanpost.

I guess I like Lewin, but...
I tire of his goody-goody enthusiasm that connotes positivity with anything Ranger. At least TAG is a straight-shooter.
