Why SF Giants manager Gabe Kapler told the story of ‘the worst I’ve ever been in my career’

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 21:16:34 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Wednesday afternoon, Giants manager Gabe Kapler found himself thinking about the worst moment of his playing career.He was empathizing with Giants rookie Blake Sabol, who, despite hitting a walk-off home run in the Giants’ 5-4 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday night, has been the worst player in baseball at making contact this season.The growing pains were to be expected with Sabol, a Rule 5 pick who had just 25 games above the Double-A level before the season. Still, he’s struggled enough that Kapler has needed to remind Sabol – and himself – just how hard it is to be a rookie.It was back in 2005 that Kapler was a rookie in the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization in Japan.At 29 years old, Kapler had plenty of professional experience, but none in Japan. He had just come off a season in which he won a World Series with the ‘04 Red Sox, the first team in baseball history to overcome a 3-0 series deficit in the postseason. He hit .272 with ...

Rains asked that the California Attorney General’s Office take over the case.In arguing for Price’s office to be tossed, Rains cited a roughly decade-long run of statements by the longtime civil rights attorney. They included comments from Price alleging Fletcher “executed” and “murdered” Taylor during their deadly encounter three years ago in a San Leandro Wal...

Students disarm classmate with BB gun on Pittsburg elementary school playground Chavez said record-breaking rainfall in California didn’t eliminate the worst of the flames, but rather delayed them. “By late August, early September, all over the State of California, fire season will come back and there will be big damaging fires,” said Chavez.Hundreds of inches of snow melting in the Sierra Nevada is causing a longer delay for wildfire season. “That moisture absorbs slowly into the larger logs and branches that are on the forest floor. It’s feeding the soil moistures,” said Chavez.“We had a vegetation fire about two months ago here in Napa County. This was a couple days after we re...
