San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb has deleted his social media account after a heated exchange with critics. The incident occurred following a blowout loss to the Blue Jays at Oracle Park, where Webb surrendered five first-inning runs, including a grand slam to Kazuma Okamoto.
Webb’s frustration boiled over on social media, where he responded to critics, including KNBR’s Jack Loder, who had questioned Webb’s performance as the team’s ace. Webb’s replies were seen as embarrassing by some, and he eventually deleted his account.
Webb’s Social Media Meltdown
Webb’s social media meltdown came after a miserable night on the mound, where he struggled to contain the Blue Jays’ offense. The Giants’ bullpen also unraveled, and the team’s offense was nearly no-hit by Dylan Cease in a 10-0 shutout.
First-year manager Tony Vitello is navigating a difficult first season, and his intense college coaching style has come under increasing scrutiny as the losses have piled up. Webb is heading to the All-Star Game next week, but instead of fielding questions about his season, he’ll likely be answering for his social media meltdown.
