Why it was too early to suggest Phillies fire Gabe Kapler

It was only a few weeks ago when Phillies fans booed Gabe Kapler at the home opener and called for his termination just two games into the season. Flash forward a few more weeks and the Phillies are currently sitting in second place of the National League East.
