After a tough outing on Wednesday night, San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb took to social media. Now, he’s deleted his account.
The situation started on Wednesday after KNBR’s Jack Loder posted a video on X reacting to the Giants’ 10-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Webb, who pitched seven innings, gave up five runs in the first inning thanks to a Kazuma Okamoto grand slam.
“The game started at 12:45, by 12:49 the game was over,” Loder said, before turning to criticizing Webb directly.
In the video, Loder mentioned that Webb “might be searching his name on Twitter after the game … which is never a great look.”
Loder, it turns out, was correct: Webb commented on the reporter’s video within the hour. “You know what’s sad is they allow people like you in the locker room,” Webb wrote, according to screenshots from multiple outlets.
Loder then quote-posted Webb’s response on his timeline, saying “If you’re wondering where the Giants are at mentally after a 10-0 loss to fall to 16 games under .500.”
Webb then responded to that as well, quipping about how long it took Loder to respond, via SFGate. A reply from KNBR host Adam Copeland was met with a “Who are you?” from Webb.
Webb then went on to respond to multiple fans in the comments. (It was a move reminiscent of former Bay Area star Kevin Durant.)
Webb then deactivated his X account late Wednesday night. Posts from the account, including his original response to Loder, now reads: “This Post is from an account that no longer exists.”
It’s been a bit of a rough season for the Giants, who have been plagued by bleak losses and an odd Pride Night controversy. Wednesday’s loss put San Francisco near the bottom of the NL West, with one of the worst records in the league. Webb, who made the National League’s All-Star roster in a competitive field, has been one of the few bright spots, but his production is down from previous seasons.
Whether Webb likes it or not, San Francisco has been a team worthy of criticism: Even in Wednesday’s game, where the Giants nearly got no-hit by Dylan Cease and the bullpen let in five runs in the final two innings, the larger issues have been obvious.
The Giants start a four-game series against the Rockies on Thursday, with the hopes of turning things around slightly before they’re past a point of no return.
