There are probably a lot of farts going off in MLB locker rooms, but only a few make it onto a hot mic. On Friday night, San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb spoke to reporters after taking a loss despite pitching a gem across six innings in a 2-0 defeat against the Los Angeles Angels. Webb struck out 12 and didn’t walk a single batter — his fourth such performance in his career. Only three other Giants pitchers have recorded multiple outings like this since 1893: Madison Bumgarner, Tim Lincecum, and Juan Marichal. That’s the complete list.
Logan Webb now has 4 career outings with 10+ strikeouts and no walks
Only other Giants with 4+ since the mound was moved to its current distance (1893):
Madison Bumgarner: 12
Tim Lincecum: 5
Juan Marichal: 4h/t @EliasSports https://t.co/Y4TO1Tdapg

He also joins Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy in having an audible fart derail his postgame press conference. What happened next was the only thing that stunk more than taking that loss: as a reporter was mid-question, a fart erupted in the room like a record scratch. This wasn’t just an ambiguous locker room sound that might leave you wondering if someone shifted in their chair; it was a certified fart, and the only mystery was who dealt it.
“Farts are always funny, not going to lie.”

In response to the fart, Webb had the only appropriate reaction: he stopped listening to the question and laughed, saying, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, guys. That — farts are always funny, not going to lie.”
We’re glad Webb didn’t lie. Because a perfectly timed comedic fart is always funny. No matter what’s happening in the world, we can all take solace in the fact that farts are — and will forever be — funny.
