Kurtenbach: Derek Holland’s ripping of the Giants’ front office rings hollow

Giants pitcher Derek Holland is disgruntled and he needed everyone to hear about it.

But instead of achieving his goal of embarrassing the Giants’ front office and perhaps forcing a move, he’s only embarrassed himself and likely ensured he’ll stay with San Francisco.

Swing… and a miss.

Saturday, the Giants demoted Holland to the bullpen, skipping his next start in favor of Tyler Beede. It was a logical move — Holland has a 9.64 ERA in his last four starts.

Only Holland didn’t see the logic.

“To be honest, I have no idea what they’re doing,” Holland said Saturday, per KNBR.
