what needs to be done

For those of us who've been Ranger fans as long as we can remember ( although at times it's been tough to admit ) the season is off to a better than expected start. There seems to be something different about the way this season is going, we seem to have found some stable starting pitching, but there seems to be a lack of hitting. I find myself questioning Ron Washington regularly in close games for his management, mostly his unwillingness to move runners into scoring position late in games. The Rangers may have won in extra innings last night, but Washington's managerial decision in the 9th to let Chris Davis (hitting a crowd pleasing .202 and on pace to break the strike out record) swing away with no outs and a runner on 2nd is beyond me. There had to be somebody on the bench who can get a bunt down, like maybe Elvis Andrus. If this poor decision wasn't enough, with 2 outs and the runner still stuck on 2nd he pinch hits for Omar with Jones. I've never managed a big league team, but it would make sense that when a basehit wins the game you would probably want a guy hitting .320 swinging the bat versus one hitting .250 and prone to strike out, right? All for not, because at the end of the day the sign still flashed "HELLO WIN COLUMN", but one does wonder if Washington would be held accountable had the game been lost.
