MLB suspends Giants manager for three games due to….

San Francisco Giants manager was suspended for one game and fined for returning to the dugout after being dismissed during Tuesday’s game, according to reports.

Chad Whitson, the home plate umpire, dismissed Kapler after appealing a questionable strike call in the fourth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. It was Kapler’s second ejection of the season and his eighth overall.

He later returned to the dugout and watched the game on a monitor in the batting cage at Oracle Park, engaging in discussions with players and coaches. He still wore his outfit.

“First, I violated the spirit of the rule, right?” Kapler stated on Friday. “The spirit of the rule is that the manager walks up the clubhouse and puts on street clothes, which I broke by being near the dugout area. At this point, a necessary move… I’ll be watching the game from the clubhouse. I’ll be in the office with the door closed to keep temptation out.”

“I have to take responsibility for it,” Kapler stated. “I spoke with the team and informed them that I had violated the regulation and apologized for having to answer any questions that may arise. They need to concentrate on Atlanta tonight. “We need to concentrate on Atlanta tonight.”

Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden reflected on what may have been, how their stellar accomplishments would have been far larger if they hadn’t succumbed to the drugs and alcohol that ruined their lives.

On the day the New York Mets announced they would retire Gooden’s No. 16 on April 14 and Strawberry’s No. 18 on June 1, the pair held a Zoom news conference and candidly discussed their failures to resist the fame and fortune that followed the Mets’ 1986 World Series victory, which led to prison and a string of suspensions that may have cost them entry into baseball’s Hall of Fame.

“We were mentally crazy at the time, so we needed a lot of help,” Strawberry stated on Wednesday. “We could have used every doctor and every psychiatrist — they probably would have ran away from us every time because we were so young and so focused on what it was like to be on the field and doing what we was doing on the field and we was not taking care of ourselves.”
