There was only one coach at Gabe Kapler's introductory press conference in November. The Giants already had decided to clean house and let Kapler hire a completely new staff, but when Kapler met with Ron Wotus, he knew he needed to be the fourth consecutive Giants manager to have Wotus on his staff.
Kapler kept Wotus as his third base coach, and as the new manager went through a contentious press conference, Wotus sat in the third row and took in the scene. Nine months later, Wotus was again there for Kapler.
The Giants had to hold on by their fingernails in the ninth inning Saturday, but when Cody Bellinger flied out to deep left, Kapler had his first win as a Giant.
