Giants starter Landen Roupp speaks with reporters after San Francisco's 8-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Saturday at Oracle Park.

I think it didn't seem like you were able to make a ton of hard contact.

Can you just, what did you figure out overall between what happened and your sixth inning?

Yeah, I feel like I was cruising.

Changeup was super good today.

I was locating it in the zone.

Getting a, a bunch of weak contact and, just, I guess, just kinda lost the zone there at the end.

J- just can't happen.

It didn't look like you were too happy to be coming out of the mound walking Chris Logan in the sixth.

Just what was your worst point, worst thought process of being taken out in that moment?

And would you, did you try to lobby to, you know, get yourself out of that jam in the sixth?

Yeah.

You know, as a competitor, I kinda wanna try to clean up my own mess.

Obviously I, I totally understand the decision to take me out after walking three straight.

But it's, it's definitely frustrating to, you know, to walk three straight like that.

But, yeah, like I said, just as a competitor, I kinda wanna get out of my own, my own, mess and, and try to work through that.

But yeah.

How did, Tony then-- if you were to have a conversation a little bit, is that something you conveyed to him, or how does that go behind closed doors?

Yeah.

I basically just said, "I, I, I got this, guy.

I wanna stay in here, and, and get out of this inning."

And, he basically just said, "I've, I've already called down," so, nothing we could do about it at that point, so.
