This is the business side of baseball. Tough!!
The article says nobody expected the younger Bochy to make the roster. Tell that to Mrs. Bochy. I have a feeling she might just toss a consecutive string of shut-out innings against the coach in the near future. And don't try pull that "Hey honey, wanna see my World Series rings?" stuff for a while. She may try to deposit them in a place where they will be somewhat difficult to retrieve. Maybe a couple of road trips will make the heart grow fonder.
Good Luck with that coach.

Thanks, Dad!: Bruce Bochy informs son Brett he’s been cut from Giants roster over dinner | Big League Stew - Yahoo! Sports:
That was the unfortunate case for the younger Bochy on Thursday night, though his father did take a different route to informing him than he would for any of his other players. According to Andrew Baggerly of Comcast Sports Net San Francisco, he actually did it in a face-to-face meeting over dinner, which may or may not have added to the awkwardness, but it certainly didn't take away from the disappointment.
“He was disappointed I didn’t bring him in (the office) to cut him,” the manager said, smiling. “Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow to make him feel better.”
