SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — You bet Madison Bumgarner pleaded to Bruce Bochy to start the 10th inning. And of course the big left-hander remained a little irked afterward considering he didn’t get the chance.
“I didn’t try to make it much of a conversation but he wasn’t having it. Usually if I really want to I can get my way with him, but he wasn’t having it today,” Bumgarner said, then chuckled adding, “How many times do you get to go out for the 10th?”
If this happened to be Bumgarner’s final start for San Francisco, he left another lasting memory — even if everybody wound up groggy by the time this game finally ended in 4 hours, 47 minutes.
