SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants have taken plenty of losses on the field this season. The hit they took late Friday night could be much more serious. Brandon Belt was hit in the side of the head by a pitch in the sixth inning and removed immediately. Belt was feeling concussion-like symptoms after the incident and he will be reevaluated on Saturday morning. If Belt does have a concussion, it would be his fourth in the last eight years. “He’s been through this before, so it’s obvious there are some concerns there,” manager Bruce Bochy said. Belt missed the final 15 games of the 2015 season after diving into an infielder’s knee while getting back to second base, and 46 games in 2014 after getting Continue to Article

We'll never know exactly why the Cubs went 108 years between World Series championships. But Joe Maddon has a theory, even if he was half (or mostly?) joking. The Cubs play a ton of day games at Wrigley Field — almost half (38, or 47 percent) of their 81 home games begin in the afternoon. Many — including Kerry Wood — have come out and said the overabundance of day games at Wrigley Field has contributed to the Cubs' lack of championships over the last century-plus.

He also brushed off the notion that the Cubs' opponents are Continue to Article

Anybody who’s followed the life and times of the 45th President of these United States knows he’s a sporting fellow. Donald Trump once owned a USFL team. It’s been brought to light now, however, that Trump once talked to former San Francisco Giants owner Bob Lurie about buying the franchise. Continue to Article

The Cubs moved Addison Russell to the disabled list Friday morning with a right foot strain while Javy Baez drew his second straight start. Baez will man shortstop in the short term while Russell gets healthy. In addition to Baez's baseball intelligence and instincts, this is also exactly why Joe Maddon doesn't want the Cubs to get rid of the young infielder: Shortstop insurance. Continue to Article
