This guy must be the greatest interview of all time. He landed on his feet!! This got me to thinking about Terry Francona getting canned by the Phils...then leading the Red Sox to a World Series ring 3 years later. It took Francona 3 years to land another manager's job. It took Gabe a month to land another manager's job. The guy must be convincing.... Recent Giant's managers - Felipe Alou, Dusty Baker, Bruce Bochy....and Gabe Kapler? I wish him well. link

Gabe Kapler does not equal Bruce Bochy.

Yeah prior relationship with their GM is why he was hired. I don’t think he’s a terrible manager, but the effusive praise for players when they obviously struggled was never going to play here. If he can learn from his mistakes here (especially bullpen management), he should wind up being a good manager. Talent wins anyway.

Maybe they assume he's the next Francona.

Weirdest press conference I’ve ever seen. Highly recommended listening to it. I found it on giants Facebook page.
