PEORIA
Jeff Samardzija had just been shelled for seven runs by the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday, but you wouldn’t know it by the smiling and joking right-hander the Giants are counting on in 2016.
“I’m pretty happy with where the ball was going,” said Samardzija of his command in a 9-6 Giants loss. While speaking, the 6-foot-5 pitcher occasionally adjusted his long, flowing hair and deflected any questions focusing on the negatives of his spring so far.
