Hunter Strickland apologized Thursday for a “stupid, split-second” decision in which he punched a door after blowing a save Monday night and broke his pitching hand.
Strickland told reporters he planned to address his Giants teammates before their series opener against the Padres and that he’s open to getting help to avoid future temper flares like the one expected to sideline him for the next six-to-eight weeks.
“Obviously, this is on me,” Strickland said. “And if I could go back and take it back, I would, 100 percent. This is something I will always regret. But I don’t have time to sit here and feel sorry for myself, because I’m the one that created this problem.
