#sfgiants Gabe Kapler seems like a really nice guy. But, you don’t agree to do an in-game interview and dump out in the middle of it. After all, it is just a spring training game, right? pic.twitter.com/BrzhhjIWEv

Here’s one we’ve never seen before.
During a mid-inning dugout interview with Jon Miller during Friday’s spring training game vs. the Rockies, manager Gabe Kapler cut things short with Jon Miller to make an adjustment.
“Guys I’m going to let you go,” Kapler said. “We’ve got an infield in here and I want to make sure I focus in and lock in on our club. It was great talking to you and look forward to talking to you again.”
A surprised but nonplussed Miller reacted perfectly: “Oh! So he’s actually going to manage!”
According to Giants PR, Kapler thought that the interview would be for just a few minutes rather than the entire half-inning as the broadcast had planned, leading to the confusion.
