The SF Giants got their Ausmus!!!

It could have been worse for us.  Thankful for Maddon, that's for sure.

Ausmus ain't no Kapler. 

Brad is much better at managing a bullpen than Gabe, more decisive in his in game decisions as well. But Gabe commands a clubhouse in a way that doesn't seem to fit Ausmus' style. 

You'd really think Ausmus would be a better manager than he is. He's a genuine guy, very even keeled, very intelligent. Former catcher, commanded a pitching staff well enough to carve out a long career. But it just seems like something about him clashes with the job that seems like it would be a natural extension of his personality and background.

I was leaning more towards not getting the manager everyone wanted.  SF fans are pissed!!!  We weren't very happy when Ausmus got hired.

They’re rebuilding anyway. If Kapler sucks, it won’t hurt their future.

I think Kapler is a great fit for Zaidi and what he’s trying to do.  Zaidi isn’t a guy I’d bet against long term.

This is a strategic hire to attract the Castro street crowd! That’s one fucked up city.

Brad Ausmus is not good at managing a bullpen.

It's hard to imagine him being worse than Assmus
