It’s not hard to figure how what was going on when Giants starter Jeff Samardzija sent a fastball to the backside of Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Paul Goldschmidt.
That’s how baseball tradition goes. When Buster Posey got drilled in the head Monday by the D-backs’ Taijuan Walker, intentional or not, pay back was going to come at some point.
While both manager Bruce Bochy and Samardzija stayed mum on the topic after Tuesday night’s game, broadcaster Mike Krukow was more open when he joined KNBR on Wednesday morning.
“It how you deal with it,” Krukow said of Samardzija drilling Goldschmidt, Arizona’s best player.
