San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler is a calmer man, we're told over and over again, gone Zen in the Bay after his embarrassing flameout in Philly.
Maybe the best evidence of that came Thursday, when first baseman Brandon Belt made a decision that would perhaps make a less enlightened man lose it.
With two outs and runners on second and third, facing a 1-2 count, Belt squared up to bunt and pushed the ball foul, ending the inning. It won a healthy laugh from Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen and mild boos from the Oracle Park crowd.
