SAN FRANCISCO — Madison Bumgarner stood in the middle of the visitor’s clubhouse at Dodger Stadium with a blank expression on his face.
He paused for so long that it was difficult to tell whether Bumgarner had forgotten he was asked a question or if he was so perplexed by it that he couldn’t deliver an answer.
His eyes began to shift from locker-to-locker as he surveyed the nameplates of his Giants teammates. Finally, he locked in on Giants rookie Mike Yastrzemski.
“He could do it,” Bumgarner said.
Before Bumgarner could be asked why Yastrzemski would make a good broadcaster in the future, the Giants ace walked away.
