Rangers fire Chris Woodward, and then fire Jon Daniels.
As a Rangers fan I think Woodward's time was done. He seemed like a good manager and well liked but how do you go 6 and 2,567,821 in one run games and keep your job? The Rangers would be a game back of the playoffs if they were .500 in one run games.
Jon Daniels I always felt like he needed a check and balance. He was Paul McCartney to Nolan Ryan's John Lennon. Daniels is good on his own, maybe great even, but he needed the pushback of Ryan to put together back to back World Series' appearances. Ryan was a shift in organizational attitude and Daniels brought in the players themselves.
Without Ryan, Daniels seemed cold to the players and players didn't seem to have the attachment to the organization.
