We didn't mention Logan Webb yesterday but he had a horrendous first inning. Krukow was talking about it a lot this morning on KNBR and felt it was a learning day for him. The fact that Webb did not give up any more after the first was a sign that he made necessary adjustments. He might have stayed in longer if his spot in the batting order did not come up so hopefully, this is not a concern going forward. Kruk said that as a young pitcher, he probably did not know how to make adjustments on the fly but he knows now.

Agree, it was a learning day. And frankly, he was entitled. He's been so perfect for so long. Glad to get the bad day behind him before it really count.

Krukow said when he was a pitcher, he used to toe the middle of the rubber. If he was off, he would shift left or right as needed. Webb probably learned something like that yesterday. It’s hard to make in-game adjustments and especially hard for a young pitcher who loses control of release point and you feel like you cost your team the game. As it stands, people will remember the tenth inning hitters, not Webb.

When Krukow said that I remember thinking, "not everyone can do that."
I know I couldn't have.
I needed to be comfortable on one side of the rubber for my release point.
Moving would have put me totally out of whack.
Be nice if Logan could do that.
