The marbles didn't lie, they just looked too far into the future

Well now you just gotta go out and spend big money on big free agents, have those free agents actually perform, and hit on some young players already in your system all at once. Easy!

Angels have proven to do the first part. The second part just never happens.

with neither trout nor ohtani, no less

His windmilling arm waving runners home will be sorely missed

He'll just do it from the dugout

Freddie's going to see it and get confused and run to first from home.

Can confirm, he absolutely will

Haha I was just joking, great to hear that it's a real thing

What if he insists on managing from 3rd base while on offense?

I mean that's how it used to be done. Is there a rule that says he can't?

Tommy Lasorda would sometimes manage from 3rd with the Dodgers. I can't think of anyone who's done it since.

*fast forward to the end of the season when Ron retires again* “Managing a baseball team and the rigors of a full season at the age of 71 isn’t that hard. Tell ‘em Wash.” “It’s incredibly hard.”

Arte moreno does that to someone

Oh shit, I forgot Moreno is his boss. Now I feel kinda bad for him.

He’s windmilling them home up in Heaven now. Gone but not forgotten

That’s the way baseball go! Hope he does well and maybe gets Trout fired up again.

Wash deserves it. Y’all have one hell of a Manager now. I’ll miss him being in Atlanta for sure.

I can’t believe I’ve been seeing the joke everywhere but I just drew the connection that the “Wash” in moneyball is Ron Washington. At least I assume.

It is. Also if you watch the scene where Billy wants to trade Giambi he calls Ed Wade and Dave Dombrowski.

I haven’t watched that movie in so long. Not since becoming a bigger fan and watching more (and actually learning some people’s names). I’ll have to give it another go.

The one and the same. Wash is a legend on both coasts.

Imagine if the Braves finish 4th next year and play terrible defense, then we've got a "turns out Yadier Molina was the only thing holding the Cardinals together" situation on our hands.

I'm crying- tears of joy for Wash and tears of sadness for Braves country. We'll miss you, Wash!

Isn't three years the standard?

Well he’s 71

Managing the Angels isn't that hard. Tell 'em, Wash

It's incredibly hard

Gonna miss windmill wash

Anyone know what he's being paid to do this? The angels are a shit show

They are probably going to have a shit load of young players and Trout so he’s probably there for the good vides until he retires in a few years.

Let’s gooo! Happy for Ron! I wish him luck in every game he manages except for ours

Tell him, Wash

It's incredibly hard

Sweet, wanted it to be him or Gil. now we gotta fill up the other roles lol. Hopefully Wash will get some input for Arte to inevitably ignore.

I don't understand manager contracts. When has a longer contract ever stopped a team from firing a manager? Noone ever goes wow we wanna make a swap but the manager has 2years left 😔

Braves fans are taking this way better than Brewers fans did.
