The Chris Rose Rotation
We now know why Logan Webb pitched poorly in the MLB All-Star Game earlier this summer … he just admitted he was wildly hungover as he was toeing the rubber at the Mid-Summer Classic.
The San Francisco Giants star made the revelation on Wednesday’s episode of “The Chris Rose Rotation” … explaining that he went just a little too hard in Arlington the night before the big July game.
He said following the Home Run Derby festivities on Monday evening — the MLB threw a party for the players and their families at the Dallas Cowboys’ The Star facility … and there was a ton of free booze.
He said Lil Jon was also DJing … and it all made for the perfect combination of a late night.
To make matters worse for Webb, the ace said his wife woke him up at 7 AM on Tuesday morning — some 12 hours before the game’s first pitch — and it was at that time that he says he knew “this is going to be a long day.”
“And it was a long day,” he said with a laugh.
Webb told Rose it was over 100 degrees during the afternoon … and by the time he was running out to pitch in the third inning for the National League — he wanted to vomit. In fact, he said he had to tell himself repeatedly, “don’t throw up” on his way to the mound.
Webb ultimately got three American League hitters out — but he gave up three hits, three earned runs and one walk. The NL would go on to lose the game, 5-3.
Overall, though, he said he had a great time during his first-ever All-Star Game experience — but, if he gets another selection down the road, he said he will change one thing …
“Just relax the night before,” he said.
