Hungover, that is.
Logan Webb is not that different from you and me. Sure, he’s significantly better at his job than I am (and likely you are), and yeah he gets paid my annual salary every three days (and surely something similar for you), but he’s not that different than you and me.
He spent his Monday watching the San Francisco 49ers shellack the New York Jets. And he spends his off days drinking questionable amounts of beer.
It might not impact how he performs when donning a San Francisco Giants jersey, but it does impact his performance at other times when he’s throwing a baseball. Like, say, the All-Star Game.
Webb had a rough outing two months ago in his All-star Game debut. And recently he revealed a pretty understandable reason for that: he was hungover. On a recent episode of The Chris Rose Rotation podcast, Webb admitted that his primary objective during the All-Star Game was to not throw up.

Who can blame him? Webb was taking in the All-Star festivities for the first time in his career, and having a good time. There are no stakes to the exhibition game, so his performance didn’t matter beyond pride.
So at least he didn’t throw up. That would have damaged the pride a lot more.
