Some viewed Tuesday’s decision by the Philadelphia Phillies to fire hitting coach John Mallee and replace him with Charlie Manuel as the first step towards a potential managerial change at the end of the season if the team continues to underperform offensively. Whether it was or it wasn’t, Gabe Kapler isn’t worried.
The second-year manager said just as much this morning.
“You know this as good as anybody, you’ve been around the game forever; the life of a baseball manager is that you manage until the day that you get fired and almost everyone gets fired at some point,” Kapler said Wednesday to Angelo Cataldi on SportsRadio 94 WIP.
