Overview

• Ramos told the San Francisco Chronicle his weekend comments were misconstrued and emphasized that he appreciates Giants fans.
• He said his remarks about “outside people” and fans being “against us” were intended to back Bob Melvin and the team’s internal process.
• SFGATE framed his earlier quote as “bashing” fans, drawing online backlash and KNBR attention, even as Matt Chapman and Melvin publicly praised fan support.
• The friction comes during a prolonged home slide, with San Francisco losing 15 of its past 17 at Oracle Park as of Sunday despite a crowd of 38,876 on August 17.
• Reporter Andrew Baggarly said Buster Posey has indicated any managerial decision regarding Melvin would depend on how the players perform.
