John Rhadigan Fired. Team Explains That Shaboomin.com Put Too Much Pressure On The Ball Club




From ESPN Dallas:

The Rangers announced that John Rhadigan is no longer the play-by-play voice of the Rangers on television. Dave Barnett will take his place alongside analyst Tom Grieve. The club said the changes will be in effect starting with Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Steve Busby will join Eric Nadel for most of the games on 103.3 FM ESPN and pre- and post-game host Bryan Dolgin will also assist Nadel for some games this season.

Rhadigan will return to Fox Sports Southwest as the lead anchor of FSSW’s Rangers pre and postgame coverage and other programming on the network.

“We feel that this restructuring will provide Rangers fans with quality television and radio broadcasts from a pregame, in-game, and post-game perspective,” said Rangers Executive Vice President for Communications John Blake in a release. “We have a group of experienced and knowledgeable broadcasters who should work well in these roles.”


Okay maybe it's a coincidene, but the fact is that within 24 hours of my post to get Rhadigan fired he got fired. All I'm saying is that Shaboomin.com runs the Rangers' organization and is the clear voice of reason for all of their decision making. Maybe I'm understating it a little bit, but that is the gist of it.
