The story of Brandon Belt every year is whether this will finally be THE SEASON. The magical, foretold season that everyone has been expecting from him since he made the team. I think the closest he came to having that season was 2016, which also happens to be the only full season he has played in the last five years.
For Belt fans, it is frustrating that so many of his seasons have been shortened, due to no fault of his own. It serves the Belt-Basher narrative, when all logic and reason tells us that actually, Brandon Belt is good at baseball and an asset to the team.
