What is wrong with him?
Isn’t there an automatic fine when a manager gets the boot? I hope the league waives it in this case. The whole situation is ridiculous. This is the Major Leagues and the Umps should not be there to help an incompetent manager.
Warnings, and did the right thing my ass.

fuck just calling some of his starters work horses was dumb to me. Dude pulled Nola way early. How the fuck you going to have a work horse doing that shit? Especially when his metrics say not to let a pitcher see a lineup a third time. So fucking dumb.I'm not going to overreact to 3 games, and like I've said before, I'm more ok with him yanking Nola than most everyone else. I don't think I personally would have done it at the time, but I'm ok with saving the rotation, and outside of Freddie Freeman, the Braves' lineup is pretty mediocre. Our BP should be able to hold a 5 run lead.
That being said, I saw this today:
When asked about the inauspicious beginning to his managerial career, Kapler spoke for more than a minute about the “long view.” How he was thinking about New York. How his lineup is seeing so many pitches. How his hitters have put the fat part of the bat on the ball. How his rotation is filled with a couple of horses. How some of the young pitchers have limitless potential.
Then, he proclaimed his team would make the playoffs.
The fuck? Did he really do that? After a huge fuck up and ass-whupping in which you had to use a position player to pitch and didn't give your reliever enough time to warm up, you talk about the positive things you saw?
And then you proclaim that you're going to make the playoffs? After 3 games (2 of which you lost)?
That shit makes him look like such a tool. How about some results before the playoff proclamations, Kap.
Fuck you. That was completely unacceptable. It's a shame he wasn't struck down on his way back to the dugout.I'm not going to overreact to 3 games, and like I've said before, I'm more ok with him yanking Nola than most everyone else.
