SF Giants: ESPN commentators criticize Kapler’s choice to pull Crawford

It took less than one regular season game for Gabe Kapler to face criticism in hi. . .

As for not having the three-time Gold Glove-winning Crawford on the field in the late innings, his defensive numbers from last season were hardly elite. Crawford was at his peak defensively when he had back-to-back years with Defensive Runs Saved totals of 20 in 2015-16. The former Foothill High of Pleasanton star had a DRS total of 6 in 2018 and zero last season, indicative of nothing more than an average defender.
