The Texas Rangers are now 5-23 in one run games this season.

That's kind of impossible.

Woodward seems like a sweet, likable guy. I hope he has a great managerial career somewhere else.

It definitely isn't a good look for when they should have the talent to contend for a playoff spot in a year or two.

But I think that has been the plan all along, more or less. It has been evident that Woody was brought in primarily to develop young players and build some momentum. He'll get a chance to show he can be a plus manager for winning in big games, or even most lesser games. But I feel once they feel they have talent in place the Rangers will be prepared to go for a talented game manager and "reward" Woody with a high position in the organization in some capacity.

He has no idea how to manage pitchers. No feel for when to pull them.

And poor base running kills every rally.

And a new line-up every night so no batter gets comfortable in a spot.

And he's abysmal in extra innings.

The Rangers. 43 years of misery (for me).

They have way too many botched routine plays on defense, as well. That should happen with what they spent on a new middle infield. They need a Ron Washington type coach in there somewhere to help clean that up.

6-24, worst in MLB history my son tells me. Haven't looked it up to verify.

I think Woody is sort of the Guy Morriss of the Rangers managers.
