Logan Webb Deletes X After KNBR Criticism

A Total Collapse Against Toronto

Logan Webb’s tough outing on Wednesday night ended in a 10‑0 defeat for the San Francisco Giants at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. The pitcher logged seven innings but surrendered five runs in the first frame, capped by a Kazuma Okamoto grand slam. The game’s timeline was startling: it began at 12:45 and was effectively over by 12:49. This lopsided loss pushed the Giants to 16 games under .500 and dropped them near the bottom of the NL West.

Jack Loder’s Video Sparks a Firestorm

KNBR’s Jack Loder posted a video on X reacting to the Giants’ rout, and his comments quickly went viral. In the clip, Loder noted that Webb “might be searching his name on Twitter after the game … which is never a great look.” He then turned his critique on Webb directly, saying, “When someone’s supposed to be your ace, you think they’re gonna give you the best chance to win every week.” Loder added that while Webb has been a great Giant over the years, “there’s always been a little bit lacking” and expressed hope that he could finally earn the true ace moniker the franchise needs.

Webb’s Personal Attack and Swift Response

Within an hour of Loder’s video, Webb responded with a heated remark: “You know what’s sad is they allow people like you in the locker room.” Loder immediately quote‑posted Webb’s reply, captioning it with a jab at the Giants’ mental state after the 10‑0 loss. Later, when KNBR host Adam Copeland weighed in, Webb shot back with a dismissive “Who are you?” The exchange marked a stark escalation between the pitcher and the local media.

Escalation and Account Deletion

Following the back‑and‑forth, Webb took to the comments section to respond to multiple fans, a move reminiscent of former Bay Area star Kevin Durant’s outspoken style. Late Wednesday night, he deactivated his X account. Any previous posts now display the generic message: “This Post is from an account that no longer exists.” The deletion has added another layer to the growing controversy surrounding the pitcher’s recent performance and public demeanor.

Giants’ Broader Struggles

San Francisco’s difficulties extend well beyond Webb’s outings. The club has been grappling with an odd Pride Night controversy and currently sits near the bottom of the NL West with one of the league’s worst records. Despite being slotted onto the National League’s All‑Star roster, Webb’s stats have dipped compared to previous seasons, offering little comfort to a team in turmoil. In Wednesday’s loss, the Giants narrowly avoided a no‑hit by Dylan Cease, though the bullpen allowed five runs in the final two innings, underscoring deeper defensive and strategic issues.

Looking Ahead vs the Rockies

The Giants open a four‑game series against the Rockies on Thursday, hoping to arrest their slide before it becomes irreparable. Turning the corner will require both improved pitching from Webb and a collective tightening up of the bullpen, especially after the late‑inning collapses that have plagued the squad. Fans will watch closely to see if this brief pause can spark a much‑needed resurgence.
