Dude, I get you are bitter he dated and dumped your mom but he definitely is better than anyone Swordsman78 thinks is the best manager for the job.

I'm going to feast.

I think we discussed this before. 

I can’t help myself.  I must defend Ron.

Black guy.

I thought @Taylor would be the first to point out a diversity hire.

[Chuck]

Great hire. Anybody that's against this move does not know ball.

Your intentions are correct, the path not. Think upon your actions of cruelty. Would you slap a child for words spoken that were not adult? The child can't understand anything of the message than violence. Be not violent.

I really do not see a difference with managers. With this roster now a rebuild should start and until Angel's put thru some kind of direction going forward. Ron Washington, Buck Showalter, Tori Hunter or even Mike Scioscia will not make any difference.

Victor Rojas sold me on Ron Washington. Now we will see how this translates to the field.

Is that what happened?

Did Rojas pump him up on one of Chuck's podcasts or something and now you're all compulsory fanboys?

You gotta be kidding me.

Yeah I don't listen to the podcast so maybe that's why I'm not on board.

Better than saying that it sucks before he manages a single game.

Good hire extremely qualified proven winner except for Josh Hamilton risk.

He has paid his dues since then so hope for the best

I rarely agree with you, but I'm with you on this one.  I'm fine with Washington, given what I think is likely to happen with the roster this off-season.

Yep agree, me too but after yesterday’s show it didn’t sound like Washington would want to be on the west coast. I was then thinking Buck would make the most sense. 

So seeing this breaking news was a great surprise. Really happy with this decision.

To me it will be interesting to see how the staff is put together around him. Especially Pitching coach and Bench coach .

You’re more outraged over a guy who did some nose candy but not the guy that donkey punched and dirty sanchezed a groupie? I’m shocked I tell you…shocked!

Pitching coach is going to be a big deal.

True.  For now I'll make judgement based on his drug problem, accusations of sexual assault and the fact that he hasn't managed in a decade.

Hey if this means we sign Bauer then I'll be doing lines with Big Ron myself.

The Braves thought enough of him to bring him into the organization. That isn't a club who just brings in anybody. If there were valid issues, he wouldn't have been on the staff.

[Jay]

Maybe he was cheap.

Well like I said, I hope it means this organization now does bring in anybody and Bauer will be in Angel red next season.
