Giants right-hander Logan Webb pledged his allegiance to the Sacramento Kings before the NorCal first-round series.
SAN FRANCISCO — Pitcher Logan Webb was torn earlier this week as he stood at his locker in the Giants clubhouse.As a Rocklin native, Webb is a long-time Kings fan and thrilled for his hometown team to finally put an end to what was the longest active postseason drought of any U.S. major professional sports team.
“Warriors fans are going to hate me, though,” the newly extended right-hander said in a half-joking manner. “They’re all Giants fans, it’s a lose-lose for me.”“The Kings are where I’m from,” he said, “got to represent.” With the NorCal matchup tipping off Saturday with Game 1 in Sacramento, a friendly rivalry is brewing in the Giants clubhouse.
While Webb is rooting for the Kings, shortstop and notable Warriors fan Brandon Crawford isn’t sure the 26-year-old is too confident about what might actually go down.Crawford said the two haven’t chatted much about the best-of-seven series, but the trash talk will likely ramp up in the coming days. Crawford did recall Webb seemingly justifying the Kings’ loss to the Warriors in Sacramento last week because the home team was sitting some of their starters.
