Wonder how much his lineups had anything to do with, if at all.

See you around Woody.

Nerds rule

Good move to fire Chris Woodward.
Nice guy, good position coach, too soft to be the head honcho.
If you guys remember when Wade Phillips was the HC of the Cowboys that's who Woody reminds me of.

Beasley seems like a guy that can get a clubhouse motivated. Nice choice for now.

I saw it on a Rangers Fans FB before I saw Evan's article.....It was happening eventually.

I never like anyone to lose a job but it happens.

Next up?

Winning culture

Disagree overall

It can be in some cases but to me the rangers minus Adolis and now Semien and Seager don’t appear clutch. This mentality that we will come back starts with the mgr and an inspirational environment. He came across making excuse generally

possibly but once you got past Semien, Seager, Adolis, Taveras, Lowe and Heim in the lineup it was weak and unreliable. and most of that's the fault of Duran, Smith, Hernandez, Viloria and Thompson being young and still learning and Miller not being able to hit his age

Placeholder to keep continuity but who knows. He has a shot now
To me some of the coaches especially iF did not help guys be sharper on defense

good comment on Reddit:

"he would have kept his job in 99% of ballparks."

 

[saddles]

Of Evan's seven I would take Maddon, but I imagine they will consider several guys Evan would have no knowledge of, and a few that he does have knowledge of.

 

[scotsman1948]

Bochy
Maddon
Wash
Quatraro
Espada
Beasley
Michael Young

none of them would last long here

Good point. We'll see what happens. They might just opt to clean house after the season.
Wonder who some other quality options would be?

I'm glad to see Beasley get a shot.

Will be interesting how the players react. Might throw some unexpected light on things.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Bochy
Maddon
Wash
Quatraro
Espada
Beasley
Michael Young

Young, Bochy and Wash would be the main candidates I'd be interested in from that list. Not interested in hiring another bench coach or position coach to be the manager. Not another Banny and Woody...

 

[Kelleyman]

I'm glad to see Beasley get a shot.

Well he definitely has a contingent loyal to him.
Thinking of Perez who is obvious peer leader out there. Will love to hear TB remarks. I am sure he will be graceful but wonder how he sets expectations
