I advocated trading Posey two years ago but the geniuses around here thought it insanity.

Belt is my personal gripe. He has never learned that with two strikes you have to protect the plate. Too many times he has that smirk on walking back to the dugout as he has taken strike three on a pitch two inches off the corner.

We sure saw it two nights ago.  We'll see it much more this season.  At 1-3, the Giants are on track for the 1962 Mets' record of 40-120.  Except that team scored 617 runs and had Frank Thomas hitting 34 home runs.

As long as people are cherry-picking, how 'bout that Belt!
At this point, he's on track for 32 homers and 96 RBI.
