SAN FRANCISCO — Jake Peavy has played in Boston and Chicago. He has seen how a city can turn on a player who is struggling, and nobody in orange and black had a rougher time over the first six weeks than Peavy.
Peavy, now in his third season in San Francisco, does not play in a ballpark where struggling players are booed. He won’t get heckled at Starbucks or sneered at as he eats dinner. Nonetheless, Peavy had to know that a growing percentage of the fan base had seen enough.
“It doesn’t bother me,” he said.
