SAN FRANCISCO – In the second inning of the 101st game in an unwatchable Giants season, Bruce Bochy finally had seen enough.
The Pirates led 6-0 after Andrew McCutchen’s three-run home run left the field of play, and Bochy soon followed. He bellowed rage at plate umpire Chris Conroy and said his special combination of magic words to draw an ejection, leaving bench coach Ron Wotus to mind the till for the remainder of the Giants’ 10-3 loss Monday night at AT&T Park.
At issue: the 1-0 curveball that Matt Cain threw to McCutchen, which appeared to drop into the zone but wasn’t called a strike.
