If you only watched Brandon Crawford over the last week, you might not realize that he’s having his worst year as a big leaguer. In Saturday night’s hilarious comeback against the A’s, Crawford went 2-for-4 with a solo homer. He hit a triple in Thursday’s 1-0 loss to the Cubs, and he reached base three times the night before. The Giants have been waiting to get hot like this and stay that way, but it hasn’t happened.
He had a 115 wRC+ in July, but that was the only month he’s been above average.
