For my article I read the Dallas Morning News article talking about the potential danger of Texas Ranger’s manager Ron Washington losing his job. The Rangers have fallen into a losing streak and many ESPN commentators have been talking about the danger he is putting himself into.
If this is the end for manager Ron Washington, it’s not going to be a case of the media running him out of town. But his own team just might run him out.
This sentence displays Rule 5 which states: Good writing comes to the point quickly.
It’s all about getting the most out of your players.
This sentence clearly follow Rule 1 which states: Good writing uses short sentences.
Believing in and supporting your players can pay dividends over the course of long seasons. But it’s the kind of rationale that gets you beat in a short series that demands immediate reaction.
These sentences use great writing because they don’t create a lot of jargon or institutional language which states that it passed Rule 4: Good writing clears away redundancy, jargon and institutional language.
Lastly, towards the end of the article I found a paragraph that confirms Rule 7: Good writing has short paragraphs.
Washington doesn’t pitch or hit; Ryan’s absolutely right about that. But he does control the running game. Actually, he allows it to remain permanently beyond control, which is why the Rangers and the majors’ worst team, Houston, have been locked in a season-long battle for running into outs on the bases.
This sentence seemed to be longest in the whole article; so I feel that the author did a great job with clarity and conciseness in his article.
