Bruce Boche could succeed with Muellens because he knew how to manage and coach a pitching staff. Duane Kuiper described those championship years as torture because so wins many were low-scoring, one-run victories (it was torture, BTW). SF was good at small ball too. It was enough to win three series until other clubs started employing metrics. Boche retired, Kapler brought in almost all new people, and in his second year he’s made history. Boche was great—don’t get me wrong. But baseball’s different now.
