Good morning, baseball fans.
Knowing something is likely to happen can never quite prepare you for the thing actually happening. And that is the case today, as the San Francisco Giants will be without their first baseman and unofficial (but totally official) captain, Brandon Belt, for the remainder of the season. At a minimum.
Belt has been struggling with knee inflammation and pain for most of the season without improvement despite multiple trips to the injured list and various treatment attempts. He will be undergoing surgery today.
If this was five years ago, I wouldn’t be worried.
