In 20 years, Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt are gonna be the hilarious old guys at the Giants 30-year World Series reunions.
The careers of The Brandons will always be intertwined due to their time together in the Bay Area as the lynchpins of the Giants clubhouse over their run of success in the 2010s. While Belt is playing for the Toronto Blue Jays now, he still remains in competition with Craw.
On Sunday, Crawford made the first big-league pitching appearance of his career after 1,00 games -- as he recorded a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 13-3 win over the Chicago Cubs.
Though Crawford flashed a 90 mph heater, Captain Belt wasn’t impressed.
After the game, longtime sportswriter Henry Schulman texted Belt for his reaction and the ever-proud first baseman threatened to one-up his guy Craw if he ever had a chance.
Classic Belt. Expect nothing less from The Captain.
Crawford started off shaky with a leadoff walk to Mike Tauchman and a single to Nico Hoerner, but retired Christopher Morel, Ian Happ and Trey Mancini to end the game.
Belt has never pitched before, but he better be perfect if he gets on the mound for Toronto.
