DeRosa on Brandon Crawford

[@coinraker6497]

I remember so many KC fans said they should've sent Gordon home there and all us Giants fans responded, "Pfft, you don't know Brandon Crawford's arm!".

[@Feanor026]

Sometimes I wish Gordon tried home just to have an awesome WS game 7 ending play at homeplate with Crawford and Posey making the final out. But Panda catching the fly ball was still cool ^^

[@cheekypasta55]

@@Feanor026 I know some KC fans from my previous job. They were saying for years that they shouldve sent Gordon home and I would always tell them Crawford wouldve gunned him down. They never would believe me and were set that KC couldve tied that game. OVer the years though, one of them actually came around and realized Crawford absolutely wouldve made that play. Love Crawford!

@@cheekypasta55 A college baseball team in Kansas City tried to replicate what would have happened if Gordon had tried to score. They made 6 attempts - the runner scored on the first one because of a wild throw. The other 5 attempts, the runner was out by a mile. So, a D-2 college shortstop got the guy out 5 times out of 6. I guess there's always a chance Crawford would have thrown it away, but it's got to be a 95%+ chance that he would have thrown Gordon out easily. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJu7qmilg66bp8k

@@camicawber Wow thats actually incredible. Thanks!!

[@lethalfang]

@@camicawber Not to mention Posey is a gold glove caliber catcher so Crawford really has to throw it away, but he never does that because he's a gold glove shortstop.

I.... LOVE... BRANDON.... CRAWFORD..... he's freaking absolutely amazing

[@ILoveGreenDay13]

yes yes yes yes yes

[@gmorris384]

Been my favorite big leaguer for a few years now for his defense play alone

[@Cece2888.]

Love Brandon defense. His throwing so accurate and offense has been good

[@happysaddington6488]

Fun fact about BC: He still holds some quarterback records at his high school (Foothill in Pleasanton, Ca). He played baseball at UCLA, and he moves so well, he probably could have taken a few snaps in the third quarter, even in that program. He's one amazing dude.

[@cushanders2048]

he looks like Patrick mahomes in the middle infield

[@manl15_89]

if you watched him, you can tell he’s a shortstop w some sauce

I don't know how many teams do defensive team drills after spring training. But I know at least one coach that I saw doing it on the team's day off and that was Tony Larussa in 1989 with the Oakland A's. I had brought my son to the game the night before for bat day and they had run out. They told us to come to the ballpark the next day and I happened to have the day off. We were let into the ballpark and taken to an equipment room which had gotten some bats in because they had run out the night before. All we were walking there, I saw Tony larussa hitting fungo to players in the field and they were practicing lining up relays and cutoffs.

[@marvinargueta2850]

I saw the giants vs angels couple years ago live and he made a play that amazed me but nobody unless you were paying attention or at the game to witness it would have appreciated how great Brandon Crawford is at shortstop

[@spaceman8671]

If Crawford gave us some crawdad claws rounding 3rd. PRICELESS

[@eriks9576]

A true homegrown GIANT for LIFE

[@benitrokapsalis9818]

Been saying this for years he's one of the best to ever do it at SS. 2x world champion. 4x gold glove, 3x allstar and won silver slugger in 2015

My Favorite Giant

[@Feanor026]

3 months after and he is even a MVP candidate

[@deman817]

Crawford had been doing this well before he entered the big leagues. He practiced tirelessly to become the player he is and continues to work on it. The day will come where he will be done at SS but not anytime soon.

[@dceld09]

I hope he retires a giant. He's become so much better than that 8th place hitter batting 200

[@whynawt]

looks like it came sooner than we thought, now that we have Correa..

[@toddbrown5955]

Just think, that throw against the pirates was in a tie game, bottom 9th. Game saving play

[@theb3654]

Brandon is old for a shortstop but still if not the best top 3 at least.

[@SF415er]

easy top 3

[@RichardSanchez137]

DeRosa got his only ring in 2010 being a bench player for Giants.

[@Feanor026]

I remember when he signed between 2009 and 2010 they were like "DeRosa was the missing piece in our lineup" but he barely helped and was injured a lot. But still always like the guy
