Farhan should've been canned too for putting Kapler to manage that garbage as well

Interesting I didn't know his hat was in the ring, I thought he was spending more time with family, and such

Was never a kapler guy, but felt like he way overachieved with this team, for the most part played .500 ball and threw in a 107 win season

Farhan should be a short leash though.

Dull? We all know the limitations of this roster

You might be right. I don't know. I just know he moved back, not long after selling off his CA property holdings and moving back to GA. Then, a year or two later, he's back? I wondered why.

Not shedding any tears for Kapler but Farhan is more to blame for this season in my opinion. I still believe that there isnt a manager alive that could have won with the roster given to Kap.

Buster might be willing to come in and be a GM but I seriously doubt he would ever consider managing

reportedly on the "short list". i can only dream.

Who will be Giants' next manager? Bob Melvin, Buster Posey on the list https://t.co/xarzbRWTfZ

Yes, I heard this on the radio yesterday. Not sure if this role would interest him. It's a fall guy spot with Farhan here. Ready for him to go but it looks he is safe.

This team needs a splash move or two to get fans excited and I am not even sure a Buster hire is nearly enough. They are just a bore to watch. Even if winning a game.

By the way, a stat on radio, attendance up for all clubs but two. The Giants declined in the teens and was one of the two. I can't remember the other team mentioned. I was on the phone. Maybe it was the White Sox.

Can we add an exciting player or two?

Farhan used Kapler as a scapegoat but I don't give a s**t. I hated the hire and have been vocal about it from the start.

and watching his brand of baseball reinforced that. Absolute s**t manager. I'm so glad I don't have to watch him make lineups anymore.

bye!
