Alright, so I decided to spend a chunk of my afternoon catching up on what’s happening with Ron Washington. Heard his name floating around again, so I figured I’d dig in a bit myself.
First thing I did was just open up my browser. Nothing fancy, just went to my usual search engine. Typed in something simple like “Ron Washington news” or maybe “what’s Ron Washington doing now”. You know, just casting a wide net.
A whole bunch of stuff popped up immediately. Headlines everywhere. It didn’t take long to see the main story everyone’s buzzing about: looks like he’s been hired. Yeah, got himself a manager job again.
I clicked through a few different sports pages, the ones I usually check for baseball stuff. Read through the basic reports. Seems the Los Angeles Angels picked him up. Gave him a contract, think it was for two years? Standard stuff for a manager signing, I suppose.
My Process and Thoughts
So, I spent some time just reading the details. Remembered him managing the Rangers way back when, taking them to the World Series a couple of times. Good teams he had there. Then, more recently, he was coaching third base for the Braves, right? Saw him celebrating with them when they won it all not too long ago.
Honestly, seeing him get this Angels job feels kinda right. Wash always struck me as a real baseball lifer. Got that infectious energy, you see it even when he’s just in the dugout or coaching third. Players seem to really connect with that old-school, high-energy style he brings.
The Angels… well, they could use a jolt. It’s been tough sledding for them for a while now, hasn’t it? Seems like they’ve had the big-name players but just couldn’t quite put it all together consistently. Maybe bringing in a guy with Washington’s track record and personality is the move they think can change the clubhouse vibe.
I didn’t stop there. I poked around a bit more, looking for reactions, quotes from people around the league. Seems like there’s a lot of respect for him out there. People talking about his experience, his passion for the game. That stuff matters, especially when you’re trying to turn a team’s fortunes around.
So that was my little project for the day, just getting myself up to speed on the Ron Washington news. It’s always interesting to see these experienced managers get another shot at the helm. Curious to see how he does with the Angels next season. We’ll just have to wait and see how it plays out on the field.
