But this is one time when Giants fans could be forgiven for making a simple request that Belt be allowed by the baseball gods to stay on the field. Give the man June, July, August, September. Maybe even a splash of October.
an opportunity lost, and the people who play games for a living already know that such is the razor’s edge upon which they always dance. It’s part of the deal.I know – we’re racing ahead of ourselves. Belt and “stays healthy” haven’t had the friendliest of relationships over the years. He just recently got back on the field after missing 23 games with inflammation in his troublesome right knee. Earlier this season, he was on the COVID list.
There's no question that it matters. Heading into Wednesday's game in Atlanta, the Giants were 21-12 with Belt active, 17-17 otherwise. Manager Gabe Kapler absolutely, positively wants his starting first baseman on the field.But it truly is levels deep. It isn’t just that Belt’s bat is important in the S.F.
In a Tuesday game against the Royals, Kapler looked down the bench in the late innings and saw Belt, La Stella and Mike Yastrzemski all available to pinch-hit or sub in defensively. “This is what you visualize. It’s not a full roster, but we’re getting close, and that feels good,” the manager said. Brandon Belt doesn’t owe anyone much in the way of explanation. He’s got two rings and is generally associated with one of the best and most beloved eras of Giants baseball ever. He’s even racked up a couple of nicknames, and let’s face it: when you go from Baby Giraffe to Captain, you’ve covered some ground in your career.
