MIAMI – Bruce Bochy stopped Pablo Sandoval in the clubhouse after Tuesday night’s game and delivered a message.
Sandoval put his hands on his hips and shook his head. Bochy kept talking. Sandoval kept shaking.
Bochy was trying to tell Sandoval that he would be off for Wednesday’s day game at Marlins Park. Sandoval was not having it.
“This,” he said, “is not a vacation.”
Sandoval is in the lineup for the Giants’ final game of what has become a compressed and grueling road trip. They played three games in 25 hours at Nationals Park.
