He was basically handed the job last year and couldn't hold it, he is going to get plenty of playing time this year, and he will more than likely be the opening day first baseman next year unless he tanks again. I want him to do well...I just don't get what seems to be some sort of emotional tie in with Brandon Belt from some people here.

I can't speak for others in here, but it has nothing to do with "emotional ties."

There is nothing I can do for you if you can't see why he is promising, just watch more baseball. Its his approach at the plate that is intriguing. He is very selective at the plate and has the ability to really put up a sweet OBP with a little bit of play time and adjustments.

I mean, Huffs OBP is pretty high but you guys want him on the bench.

Wasn't OBP the main argument FOR Belt?

Wow... had no idea I posted that much in the Giants threads. I've been overseas the past 3 years also. That's a lot of sleepless nights watching Giants games.

It's his priority to think of the franchise in the long term, not just the right now or his ass is going to get f**king fired.

Bochy says Belt is pressing and will start the next game, then doesn't. A right-hander and at home and he's also not starting. And then this

Belt said Bochy talked to him Monday, but now he'll just wait and stay ready. Said he's not sure what the plan is for future games.

Sorry, I'm done with Bochy. Does anyone remember the Vinny Castilla ordeal in SD? Dude is in love with s**tty veterans.

just the belt fanatics, the only problem i have with bochy is the way he handles the bullpen lol. he needs to calm down with that a little
