If it sounds like the Rangers broadcast team of Dave Raymond and C.J. Nitkowski have been working together for years, it’s because, in way, they have.
OK, it hasn’t been a lot of work, but their relationship goes back to 2013, after Nitkowski’s 10-year major league career with eight teams, including the Rangers, came to an end. This is his first year doing Rangers’ games.
Raymond, in his first full season as Fox Sports Southwest’s full-time play-by-play man (he worked parts of the 2016 season behind Steve Busby), has a natural and relaxed rapport with Nitkowski.
