SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco Giants right-hander Ross Stripling on Monday tamped down some of the hot-button language he used over the weekend to detail his roster situation but noted he still doesn’t exactly know when he’ll come off of the injured list.
“But that’s just kind of how I felt at the time because I feel healthy and I do want to pitch, but that was the wrong choice of words.” Striping stressed that his comments Saturday “was not me saying, ‘activate me.’ It was not me demanding to pitch or me saying that I deserve a spot over someone else. That was just me kind of probably having a little bit of lapse of judgment, selfish judgment, kind of , ‘don’t forget I’m here’ kind of thing and saying it’s a frustrating place to be.
Stripling said he spoke with Farhan Zaidi, the Giants president of baseball operations, manager Gabe Kapler, and Zaidi again, but that it was more about his health and not a sit-down type of conversation. Asked if he received any clarification on what his role will be going forward, Striping said, “Yes and no.”
In regards to the communication issues Striping raised, Kapler on Monday said, “I think it’s always good to look back and think about — not specifically with Ross, but with all of us — how we can do things differently and what we want our communication styles to look like going forward. I would say the conversations with Ross are a good opportunity for us to learn about how to communicate better.”
