Logan Webb’s rough night did not end when he left the mound.
After the San Francisco Giants were blown out 10-0 by the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday at Oracle Park, Webb’s frustration spilled onto X, where a series of heated replies captured just how tense things have gotten around the team.
Screenshots preserved by sports reporter Ben Ross showed the Giants ace engaging after another miserable loss, including a back-and-forth connected to criticism of the organization and Webb’s role in it.
It all started after KNBR reporter Jack Loder ripped into the state of the Giants, pointing to a “leadership void,” a “talent void” and players who looked “checked out.”
Webb then fired back at Loder, writing it was sad that the Giants allow “people like you” into the locker room.
Webb appeared to be eager for the argument to continue, suggesting Loder had liked his initial response and then left him hanging for 20 minutes to write a response.
In a separate exchange, Webb fired back at a critical fan by calling the person a “loser on the couch that couldn’t make his little league team.”
Then, just as quickly, Webb was gone.
“He just deleted his account,” a Reddit user wrote after Webb’s X page disappeared. His account was initially deactivated shortly after the back-and-forth. But now his account name, @LoganWebb1053, is unable to be found on X.
The timing only made the scene feel more revealing.
Webb had just started one of the Giants’ ugliest losses of the season. Toronto’s Dylan Cease carried a no-hit bid into the ninth inning before Heliot Ramos broke it up with a leadoff single. The Giants managed one hit all afternoon, fell to 38-54 and dropped a season-worst 16 games under .500.
Webb was part of the early collapse, allowing five runs in the first inning, including the first grand slam of his major league career. He settled down after that, giving up just one hit over his final six innings, but the damage had already buried San Francisco.
“We lost the game, right?” Webb said afterward. “I put our team in the hole 5-0 in the first inning. It’s not good.”
For Giants fans, the episode was not just about one or two frustrated repliesf. It was about a season that has gone sideways. The offense has gone cold. The pitching staff has struggled outside of Webb. Expensive veterans have wildly underperformed expectations.
A team that entered the year with playoff hopes now looks like the MLB’s biggest seller before the trade deadline.
That is what makes Webb’s outburst complicated.
He remains one of the Giants’ few bright spots. He is an All-Star, a clubhouse voice and the type of pitcher San Francisco should be building around, not wasting. Even on Wednesday, after a disastrous first inning, he kept pitching and gave the Giants length on a day when the game could have gotten even uglier.
But when even Webb is arguing with critics online, waiting for replies and then storming away in a huff, it says plenty about where the Giants are emotionally.
The losses are piling up.
So is the frustration.
And thanks to Ross’ screenshots, Webb’s brief trip into the fire will not disappear with his account.
