Today Bochy followed one of my suggestions by moving Crawford from 8th to 5th in the batting order. He was moved up through the minors quickly to the Giants early because they were desperate for a shortstop. He was over matched at the plate even though he was consider a good power hitter coming out of college. He has learned how to hit major league pitching in his first years with the Giants so it is not a complete surprise that Crawford looks like he is going to develop into be a good solid major league hitter.
There are two suggestions of mine that Bochy has not implemented to this point. One is to send Sanchez to the minor for six weeks so he can learn to hit again and second to help Posey out of his slump do not have Pence protecting him in the lineup. If Posey is to continue as the clean up hitter bat Pence either 3rd or 6th in the lineup. I would like to see Crawford bat 3rd, followed by Posey, Pablo and Pence in that order.
Other Opinions:
Just looking at the tape and you know Zack Greinke of the Dodgers threw at Padres Carlos Quentin Carlos who is a very good hitter and with two out and none on base and a 3-2 count why give him an opportunity to hit a home run.
The 49ers have 13 draft choices. They are worthless if they have a draft like last year which was almost a complete bust. Only the second round choice James the running back from Oregon who fumbles too much contributed.
The Boston Marathon was a great tragedy. The press conference on the first day was a complete bust. All of the agencies involved which seemed like about fifty could not answer any questions then why have the conference except to tell the public what a great job they are doing working to together. What B.S.! The fact is they failed to protect the citizens of Boston. They should have been apologizing which would have been a first. Then there was the governor of Massachusetts and the FBI Director who continued to call the attack a crime scene. These guys are so political they make me sick. Remember Boston was the taking off point for 9/11.
The NBA pre-season 82 game elimination tournament finally ended and the Warriors for the second time in 20 years can now play real NBA basketball. Lets hope they can win one game against Denver. The other day I read that the Warriors owner had promised an NBA Championship for the Bay Area. He offered no plan. Let me suggest a plan. If the Warriors can win one game this year then two the next year and improved by one win each year they will be NBA champions in 2028.
The Masters - Tanlang Guan the 14 year old amateur from China was penalized a stroke for slow play. Boy that official had guts especially when it took most of the pros almost six hours to complete 18 holes. Where I play, granted the course is not as long, we can complete 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours. Then Tiger admitted cheating on a shot and was allowed to continue. What do you think would have happened to the 14 year old if he did the same thing as Tiger?

Jim Nance of CBS played the big role of grilling the Director of the tourney on TV for his ruling when it was CBS that made the decision. Ratings and money you know!
If you watch the Giants on TV you know they have great support all over from LA, San Diego, Oakland, Scottsdale, Chicago, New York and now Seal Beach. My son-in-law found a store in Seal Beach that carries Giants merchandise. The owner said that they received an order of Giants merchandise by mistake and decided to put it out for sale. They been selling like hot cakes. .
