Can't tell if Pirates trash or Belt has woken up.
Perhaps a bit of both?

Belt was never a spring chicken in his earlier years lol.

Belt has a track record, he is definitely not as bad as he has been to start. I think he is undergoing a market correction. I still expect ops+ 110 or more by the end of the season

He's a career-long 1B. He was never going to be terribly athletic in the first place.

Pirates are trash.
Belt is trash
Two negatives make a positive, therefore Belt becomes good against trash teams.

Yah that’s exactly what it looks like. He doesn’t run normal.
Belt certainly looks much improved over the guy who looked finished in the first couple weeks of the season.
Can’t help thinking that the best-case here is still only 2017-18 Kendrys Morales, though.

He spent the offseason recovering from knee surgery, too, which is part of the reason some people have been a bit more patient despite his awful start.

Complete speculation but didn't he have a stomach bug recently? There's some nasty shit going around rn and he could be still feeling the effects.springer okay? he looks exasperated. or is that just him in general
I just had one that took about 4 days to shake off.

That's the value of players like him and to a lesser extent, KK.
Even if you can get league average hitting from guys like that it's still a massive win given the value they provide on the defensive side. Varsho thus far has largely been as advertised. Not the best hitter but will give you pop alongside gold glove level defense.

He was reallllly bad early on but after the KC series you could start to see everything slowly fall into place. First thing was his eye. Stopped swinging at absolute junk and then his bat slowly picked up speed.
Even the best of the best will look clueless once and a while.
He's still trash though so whatever /s

Schneider makes a dumb mistake twice in a few weeks. Stop bringing Garcia out for a 2nd inning.

Yep not a smart decision. The bullpen was not taxed this series. should have let someone else work the 8th.
He's had 5 starts with 1 ER or less. I wouldn't have guessed that after last year.
I'm not sure what the hell happened since my SN app told me the game was over and switched me to a replay of this game...
I come back to see this shit? the hell happened?
Bullpen nonsense strikes again though. Garcia who was nothing but reliable last year is now suddenly crapping himself in even lower leverage situations.
