It's clear Chris Young has been given the keys to the franchise. He's going to go get the guy he wants, not inherited. It's not like he's anything special that can't be replaced.

FIFY

Chris Young works under The Moron.

And this after they beat Seattle two straight.

They're 6-24 in one-run games and their actual record is six games worse than their Pythagorean expected win-loss record. Now, that might all just be bad luck but the Rangers have grossly underachieved record wise in comparison to how their players have actually performed this year.

Woodward was nothing special as a manager.

I honestly thought he would get another year but I listened to a podcast last week with two local Dallas media guys and one of them said he had lost the locker room and wouldn’t be surprised if this happened soon.


Said he was a micromanager and made every decision based on analytics.

Good move. Dude made some truly indefensible managerial decisions at times.

Have to think we are an attractive spot with the core and up and coming farm.

They spent a half billion dollars on free agents and they're 12 games below .500

Somebody is getting fired.

Interested in Dusty Baker? He’s won a ton of games in his career so you know he’s an elite manager

Chris Young is there so Daniels can still have somebody else to blame.

The Rangers have the worst record ever in 1 run games so far this season. Woodward isn’t scapegoated for anything, he never gelled here. The Rangers are finally about to get good again. I really wish we would let go of Jon Daniels and forgot the nostalgia of 2010-2011. Micheal Young is the next man I want for the job.

I just don’t get the hate for ole Dusty. He led you guys to the WS last year and they have the best record in the AL this year…. I’m just wondering who the hell you could bring in to improve on what he has done.

You've made your position clear, over and over. You can save yourself a lot of effort and keystrokes for now on, just type the truth: "My name is dukke v, and I don't understand baseball." You need not to elaborate.
