Giants' Logan Webb Admits He Was Hungover While Pitching in 2024 MLB All-Star Game

The San Francisco Giants' Logan Webb says he was hungover while pitching during the 2024 MLB All-Star Game.

Webb said the July 16 exhibition contest took place on "probably one of the more hungover days" of his life on JM Baseball's The Chris Rose Rotation podcast.

"I had a lot of Red Bulls, I got Tylenol in me, 'cause I'm trying to get the hangover out of me, and I think I wasted all of my good pitches in the bullpen," Webb said (39-minute mark). "It was all I had. I wasted all of them.

"Then I go from the bullpen, and I jog out to the mound. And the only thing I'm thinking is, 'Don't throw up, don't throw up, don't throw up, don't throw up, don't throw up.' And it's a long jog."

Webb allowed three hits, one walk and three earned runs in one inning pitched during the National League's 5-3 loss to the American League.

"I think my first pitch almost didn't make it to [Los Angeles Dodgers catcher] Will Smith, and I would've felt real bad about that," Webb said.

Webb said that he was worried about the reaction of his NL teammates when coming off the mound after his one inning of action.

"I got out of there, I got out of the game, and I felt so bad," Webb said. "I was like, seven million people watching, I said, 'This team is going to hate me,' and I'm walking into the dugout going, 'My bad guys, my bad guys.' And every superstar you could think of that was on that National team was like, 'Dude, who gives a f--k.'"

The Giants pitcher added that he knew some fans who were angry with his performance because it prevented Shohei Ohtani from earning an MVP nod after recording a three-run home run in the third inning.

"I do know some fans were mad at me, because a certain someone didn't get the All-Star Game MVP, 'cause they would have, if we had won the game," Webb said.

Webb said the hangover stemmed back to his celebrations the night before, when he joined a postgame players' celebration "for the players and their families" after the Home Run Derby.

"It was an experience, but definitely got to take it easy next time," Webb said.

Webb, who made his first All-Star appearance of his career in his sixth season with the Giants, is currently leading the NL in innings pitched for a second straight year.

During his league-high 30 starts and 189.2 innings pitched he has recorded a 3.45 ERA and 157 strikeouts to 46 walks so far this season.
