In the midst of a dreary, rainy evening in San Jose, the current center of Giants’ fans future hopes and expectations received an unexpected blow — a literal, unexpected blow.
Joey Bart leaves the game tonight after getting hit by a pitch. Looked to hit him on hand/wrist area. Umpire ruled it a foul ball. It’s a cold, damp night here in San Jose. Bart was in obvious pain.

Giants’ fans — of a prospect-oriented bent — have thus spent the morning obsessively staring at their twitter feeds waiting for the “x-rays were negative” note that would give the all clear.
