The Rangers bullpen cost the team another victory today, but its a loss I can’t blame on the manager Ron Washington. C.J. Wilson just didn’t have his stuff today and simply got beat. Its a tough loss to swallow, but one that can be digested at least.

To many times losses are to blame on Washington for not managing the pitching staff. It wasn’t as noticeable early on because the starters were going six or seven innings a game. Now the starters aren’t going as long or Washington keeps them out there to long. I’m sick of seeing games being lost by dumb coaching decisions. Games like today though are legitimate losses which happen throughout the course of a season.

If the Rangers do make the playoffs I’m not sure I feel comfortable with Washington as the manager.
