Giants' Brandon Belt Works Historic 21-Pitch Plate Appearance, To No Avail
Brandon Belt of the Giants worked an insane 13-minute, 21-pitch plate appearance in the top of the first inning today, against Angels starter Jaime Barria. This strikes me as almost a troll move!

I feel like if you’re even remotely a sports fan, you must tune in to watch Shohei Ohtani. What he is doing so far this season is genuinely insane. Listen to me!

San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch went on ESPN Radio’s Mike & Trey Wednesday to talk about his team’s big offseason and Jimmy Garoppolo’s exciting future.
