I threw it out there. Gabe, any reservations? And Matt any reservations? Gabe, for putting it out there? And Matt, while you were in the interview process.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Great question. Well-phrased!<\/p>\n<p>To jog your memory, the background here is that <a href=\"http:\/\/kaplifestyle.com\/2014\/06\/09\/coconut-oil-beyond-cooking\/\">Kapler wrote a 2014 blog post in which he cited the myriad health benefits of coconut oil<\/a>, suggesting that it was a good lubricant for jacking it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>You\u2019re moisturized and smelling tropical, your teeth are white and your face looks like you\u2019ve just visited a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. The sun has set, and the moon is out. Perhaps you have a friend nearby, perhaps it\u2019s just you by your lonesome\u2026well, this is awkward. I\u2019ve promised you authenticity, honesty and openness. Take this how you wish and I\u2019ll spare you the step by step. Coconut oil is the world\u2019s greatest lubricant. I can\u2019t help where your mind goes with this. Once the ball leaves the bat, I can\u2019t steer it.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>sleep well,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Kap<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It took off in Philly, because it was kind of random and goofy. Here&#8217;s the new Phillies manager suggestively talking about jerking off on his blog. It was a California guy discussing something that might not be at all taboo on the West Coast, but old school Philadelphia found this &#8220;holistic&#8221; type of thing quirky and laughable, because we&#8217;re &#8220;rugged&#8221; men or whatever the thought is.<\/p>\n<p>Kap&#8217;s answer actually wasn&#8217;t bad, but in no way was the topic worth a question. Not at his introductory press conference, not ever. It wasn&#8217;t relevant. It had nothing to do with baseball or the Philadelphia Phillies. It didn&#8217;t present any kind of red flag or &#8220;character&#8221; issue or anything like that.<\/p>\n<p>But good on Howard for asking &#8220;the hard questions&#8221; that need to be answered, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gabe Kapler returns to Philadelphia Monday night with his 9-6 San Francisco Giants.
