Giants ace Madison Bumgarner will reportedly miss 6-8 weeks after injuring his shoulder.

If he hadn’t done it riding a dirt bike, maybe baseball fans would have gone easier on him. Ah, heck, probably not.

Bumgarner’s gaffe, which led to bruised ribs and a sprained joint in his pitching shoulder, comes more than a decade after then-Giants second baseman Jeff Kent injured himself reportedly doing wheelies on his motorcycle in Scottsdale. He claimed to have been washing a truck when he broke his wrist.

The fact dirt biking isn’t exactly the safest thing to do when one’s livelihood requires a healthy body made Giants fans and Bumgarner fantasy owners displeased.

Otherwise, there were jokes to be had at the expense of the San Francisco ace, who this season is 0-3 with a 3.00 ERA for the struggling Giants.
