Logan Webb says he wants to have a say in who SF Giants hire: ‘There’s a standard when you put this jersey on. We’ve just got to get back to that.’
SAN FRANCISCO — Under appropriately gray skies Friday afternoon, players went about their business as usual at Oracle Park. Patrick Bailey conferenced with catching coach Craig Albernaz in the outfield. Brandon Crawford prepared himself for his possible sendoff Sunday.They played so poorly, collapsed so totally, that their manager of four years, Gabe Kapler, was fired with three games to go.
The Giants went from 13 games over .500 in the first week of August to out of the playoff race by the final weekend of the season, needing to win all three games this weekend against the Dodgers to secure a .500 finish. They went 6-28 over their final 34 road games, including losing eight of 10 on their final road trip with their playoff hopes hanging in the balance.
After operating in lockstep for much of their four years together, Zaidi acknowledged it might be more beneficial to create more separation between the dugout and the front office. That includes less of a reliance on platoons, a more traditional pitching staff and a focus on players here for the long haul.
