Washington certainly does need to be better.
For as long as I've watched baseball, the manager decisions are always under fire. I've screamed at the TV as much as any ranger fan, but the guy has done some extremely good things as well. I think the bigger job with today's highly paid players is motivating them to play hard day after day and putting team goals first.
"Do what the game asked you do" is a great line and so true. Washington has and will continue to have a positive effect with players because of his approach and consistency with the players. I just don't think that talent can be found on just any street corner. That is a great attribute for managing a big league club. Gotta win over the players first and not many in today's game are better than Wash at that.
I have always said RW is a great players manager but just average at strategy.
