Apparently to attend to off the field personal matters. Relapse maybe?

Feel bad for Wash and hope he's ok.

Bright side is that the team should automatically improve now because of the games he was losing for them.

No way. Probably just ready to retire.

So does Maddux get the gig now? I hate for something like this to happen, but it may be a good thing for the team.

According to Jamey Newberg, Bench coach Tim Bogar has been appointed interim manager for the remainder of the 2014 season.

He didn't just retire. That would have happened in the off-season.

I meant for next year. No way Bogar keeps the job. Right?

well for him personally hope he gets right, but for Rangers this is good. Wash hard not to like until it's decision time. He really hurt Rangers. Front office has to be jumping for joy that they can get a free pass on not having to fire him.

Promote Mike Maddux to Manager. Move Greg to Pitching Coach.

I really hope it's nothing serious and that Wash gets his stuff together.

However, from a strictly baseball perspective:

Could the "attend to personal matters" that just be a smoke screen?

I liked the guy. Hope to see him find his way back. Even if this season was dismal.

JD says it was Wash's decision, that they had planned on having him back next year. Also says it's not drug related.

Back to baseball? That ship has sailed. He got his chance in 2009/2010 when he tested positive for cocaine, then came back. There won't be another chance.

I missed that part. Maybe the "off the field personal matter" was his disagreements with JD.

Some guys on Twitter are saying JD looks like he has been crying and some are speculating it's a health issue. Doubtful we ever know the real reason.

Listening to the JD press conference, he made it known it's not drug related...and have known about the issue for a few weeks. This sounds like it's a health issue with Ron.

I'm sure it will come out eventually. I can't believe they were going to bring him back with out some considerable changes. I wonder if they disagreed on the direction they were going to go in terms of something like advanced stats so he just went ahead and resigned.

Really hope it's not a health issue.

Interesting cholder7 that people noted that he was crying. Listening on the ticket, it definitely sounded like he was getting choked up. But hard to tell.
