Rangers & Royals

And you know if any reporter dares to ask Wash why he called for that idiotic squeeze play he'll just get defensive and bark some nonsense at the reporter.

At which point they need to bark back and press him on it. It's time for him to answer for his idiotic management.

Grrr... Olt probably feels terrible but he's only the last guy in the chain.

I still go back to Holland lack of control ... Young not fielding two balls ... Murphy getting turned around in LF ... Elvis running through the stop sign ... a blown squeeze that shouldn't have been called IMO ... Gonzalez boot ... and Olt's bad throw which even if it started a double play would have left Hosmer at 3d with 2 out.

On a positive note ... Olt is going to be special.

Maddux wouldn't be the one taking over. It would be Jackie Moore. He is the bench coach and has big league managerial experience.

He can't be any worse than Wash.

and why in the hell was kirkman in the game! all he does is give up walk offs when he is in late inning situations. i know the defense let him down but he walked the leadoff hitter. were adams and ogando unavailable? another dumb move by wash to even have him in the game

Vey good summary. I forgot how many fuck ups there were.

No, he would be far better. He is a very smart baseball guy. I was just pointing out that it would be Moore taking over.

what a lousy post game by buzz and tom. "just wasnt their day to win" be honest and say terrible move by wash

Exactly, why is kirkman in any high leverage situation? One more example of Wash's stupidity. This staff would be infinitely better without him at the helm.

This is for Wash and his dealings with Young:
You have no marbles - YouTube

And this is just funny:
No Marbles 2 - Isuro "Kamikazi" Tanaka - YouTube

Just once I'd like someone to hold his feet to the fire on his stupidity. I know if I was JD or Nolan I sure as fuck would be. We'd be having one hell of a come to Jesus meeting.

Wash is the worst in-game manager in baseball. There really is no debating that. He's just a stupid man who makes stupid decisions. But we have to live with it. As for Holland, some day he'll go through puberty. Until then, he's pretty much a little girl on the mound, with a junior high mentality. So much promise, so much waste of a player. Typical Ranger loss today.

Adams had pitched 3 gaes in a row, and Ogando was probably being saved for the final 3 outs and had pitched the last 2 days (3 of the last 4), needed Kirkman to pitch a couple innings until that point

ok, so no adams. if dip shit (wash) was saving ogando for the last 3 outs then why was nathan warming up in the top of the inning? wash is an idiot game manager for sure

Forgot about Nathan actually, but he's been pretty used up lately too, I don't know the rationale there, but the bullpen was getting pretty thin nonetheless

Tied for best record in the al and all we do is gripe

 

[jaar01]

Come on out Wash defenders. Tell us about all the great managerial moves he has made. The guy is dumber than a box of hammers. Squeeze with one of your hottest hitters with none out and a man on 3rd. Just brilliant. Why is the metroplex media so afraid of this guy? 2 World Series you say? And of course Wash made all the difference right? What a joke of a manager.

 

[jaar01]

And the Rangers starting pitching looks like 1980s Ranger baseball. We're gonna set records these next 2 weeks.

Just stick your head in the sand and ignore the sheer stupidity.

Apparently Oswalt refused to extend his relief outing to 3 innings after only throwing 30 pitches in 2 innings
