SAN FRANCISCO–A contrite Hunter Strickland sat in the Giants dugout Thursday and admitted he sees a pattern.
After punching a door following a blown save in a 5-4 loss to the Marlins Monday, Strickland underwent surgery to repair a fractured hand that will require him to miss six-to-eight weeks.
It’s not the first time Strickland’s anger has hurt the Giants, but he’s determined it will be the last.
“I just went in there and hit a wall so the only thing I can do is get better,” Strickland said. “I can talk to whoever I need to talk to, attend a class, whatever I need to do but just improve and get better.
