I think it was Nightengale who wrote a piece earlier in the season the Giants loved Kap and he was a possible replacement for Bochy.

As far as the Phils - if they were going to fire Kap - they should have just cleaned house - Klentak and MacPhail too.

Upper Management is more than likely just going to bring in another yes man - as Kap was Klentak's boy.

This I agree with. Klentak has to go. He’s worse than Kapler.

I think he 'tried' if that says anything.

Signed Harper
Signed McCutchen
Traded JP and Santana for Segura
Traded for Realmuto
Signed Robertson
Wined and Dined Patrick Corbin who spurned them.

However the farm is abysmal. And I blame him, MacPhail and the scouts for that.

We don't have the young talent the Gnats and Bravos have.

And too much Phaith was put in old mainstays like Eflin, Eickhoff, Velasquez, Pivetta, Hernandez, Franco.

I think for the fans a change of culture (I think Kap was a scapegoat to an extent for the players under performing - i.e. see Franco, Hoskins and the pitching staff) is necessary from top to bottom.

Kap could never come back - fans wouldn't have it - but the stench of the old regime is still there with Klentak and Macphail - disappointed Montgomery just didn't turn it all over.
