Jeff Fletcher of ESPNDallas.com asked Ron Washington what he’d do if Derek Holland has a second straight miserable start:
Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington doesn’t expect Derek Hollandto have any sort of hangover from his miserable start last time on the mound. But if he does …
“I’m going to pull off my belt and throw him across my lap and give him a spanking,” Washington said with a smile.

Agreed; here’s hoping the political correctness police don’t pounce for his “support” of corporal punishment.

Especially if you toss in Holland’s goofy smile (assuming he’s in to that kind of thing)

Jon Daniels: He’s not that hard, Derek. Tell him, Wash.
Ron Washington: I’m incredibly hard.

I’m glad we can make light of an act that in this day and age would have Child and Family Services knocking at one’s door.

I know the ‘stache screams prepubescent but I’m fairly certain Holland is of age
