Brandon Belt

One of the rare challenges in baseball is when a team goes up against a knuckleballer. There have only been 29 pitchers in the history of baseball who are considered primarily knuckleballers, including the Braves R.A. Dicky. Dicky revitalized his career by turning to the knuckleball and it netted him an All-Star Game appearance and a Cy Young Award back in 2012 when he lead the league in strikeouts.

Despite the frustration, Giants bench coach Ron Wotus told Garry and Larry Wednesday that he is supportive of players holding each other accountable.

Marty Lurie joined Larry Krueger on The Kreug Show podcast, saying that although Brandon Belt is inconsistent, he is the least of the Giants problems this season.

Saturday Brandon Belt opened the game up with a solo home run at the bottom of the 1st inning. Belt’s home run marked AT&T Park’s 72nd splash hit.

Mike Krukow joined the Murph and Mac Show on Friday and argued that if Brandon Belt continues to be unable to put the ball in play, he should be dropped out of the two spot in the lineup.

Matt Cain lasted just over four innings in his season debut.

Brandon Belt met with reporters following his team’s Game 4 NLDS loss to the Chicago Cubs, and talked about what it felt like losing a playoff series for the first time in his career.

The Brandons talk about what Conor Gillaspie has meant to this team down the stretch run…because #BrandonsAreAwesome.

What exactly Belt has to do to impress Sabean remains to be seen, but putting up the best hitting numbers on the team apparently isn’t it.

Duane Kuiper joins Murph & Mac to discuss the Giants’ slumping bats, the health of some key players, and the gameplan for the final 25 games of the season.
