POSTGAME NOTES: Hey, at least it wasn’t as bad as Miami’s loss

Giants Extra | San Jose Mercury News — Say, how ‘bout that double play that Tony Abreu and Brandon Crawford turned in the eighth inning? Quick hands, slick throws, nice chemistry shown by two guys who have probably played all of about 15 minutes together all season. That’s about where the positive column ends. Yes, Marco Scutaro got a negative result on his [...]

Buster Posey leads National League in All-Star voting

McCovey Chronicles — Pablo Sandoval leads third baseman, Brandon Crawford and Marco Scutaro close behind. Last year, the All-Star voting was hilarious. To us. It was hilarious to us and no one else because the Giants were disproportionately represented. Freddy Sanchez was in another continent for an experimental body transplant, yet he was still competing for the starting second-base job for the National League. Brandon Crawford was hitting like a shortstop who couldn't hit, and he was close to winning the shortstop job. It was hilarious. To us. This year? Relatively normal. The early returns from MLB.com:...

Checking in with Brandon Crawford's two-strike approach

McCovey Chronicles — Baseball players like to explain why they're certain to improve. They learned a new pitch, or they're in the best shape of their lives, or they got LASIK. It's all so simple. Do X and Y improves. That's how the world works, right? So it's easy to be skeptical when you see a headline like this: Crawford borrows Posey's two-strike approach That's cool. I borrowed R.A. Dickey's knuckleball grip, too, and as soon as I get the rest of the pitching thing down (including the part where I'm terrified of baseballs being hit back up the middle), I'll be on my way. I mean, Crawford can borrow w...

Giants Series Preview: Q&A with Grant Brisbee of McCovey Chronicles

Athletics Nation — Q: Brandon Crawford is having a fantastic year at the plate (.285/.356/.459). Is this improvement for real, or is he still a below-average hitter who is just on an early-season heater? Also, what are you feeding Marco Scutaro and where can I get some? A: I can see Crawford as a below-average hitter, still. Two months shouldn't be *that* convincing. But I'm pretty much ready to retire the "way-below-average hitter" label, which is huge for someone with his defensive abilities. If he can just be okay with the bat, he's a big deal. A's fans used to players from Mike Bordick through Cliff ...
