Should have overpaid & signed Judge when they had the chance.

Some pretty condemning comments on locker room culture, that s on manager

There was a sense that he played. Both sides of issues didn’t have the players backs.With the press and didnt know pitching … telling a young pitcher we need your FB to tick up from 93 to 97 …. you do that in a pitching lab over a period of time not in a locker room between starts

He spent allot if time cultivating his press relationships and pandering to them …. what it’s worth I met him once when he was in player development with the Dodgers, the bodybuilding, the whole tattoo thing he came off as really arrogant, but it was just one meeting
Kapler always was and will be a moron.

I mean, they tried to. They offered him a vault and at the last second he decided he wanted to stay in NY
Egotistical idiot

You can tell by the way he carries himself that he certainly loves himself some Gabe Kapler. He’s the guy in the bar that thinks all the chics want him and all the guys want to be him
