Cobb, 36, has pitched in the postseason only once in his 13-year career but said he doesn’t want to be traded to a team with better playoff odds.
San Francisco Giants pitcher Alex Cobb throws a ball during throwing practice of day five of the Spring Training at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Sunday, Feb. 18, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — After suffering another setback in his latest rehab outing, Alex Cobb’s season debut will not come this week at Oracle Park.
“I’m almost embarrassed that something keeps happening every time I’m almost ready,” Cobb said. “Just dealing with the punches as they come. At some point, I’ll be on the mound. I hope. But right now, frustrating.” Even after three wins in a row over the Rockies, the Giants’ playoff chances stood at 16.7%, according to FanGraphs. But, Cobb said, the front office would be doing him no favors by shipping him to another contender with better odds of playing in October.
“I think going through the last two and a half years of not living up to expectations and not being where we wanted to be would make once we do eventually win – which I envision us doing here – so much more special than just jumping on a team that’s put all the work in and just jumped on the tail end of it with two months left in the season and not really feeling a part of it. I think there’s something more special about going through losses with a team and being on the other end when they win.
