Madison Bumgarner after confrontation with Dodgers: ‘Let me be myself’

SAN FRANCISCO -- Madison Bumgarner was ready. He always is.This has become a bit of a routine in Bumgarner's career, a brilliant one marked by the occasional high-profile showdown with an opposing hitter who plays a different brand of baseball than the fiery left-hander. There's a disagreement, a few words yelled back and forth, a resumption of play -- usually without any drama -- and then a deadpanned postgame interview.
