Yes, they did. Your point being? :)
Two points, really:
1) The Giants might be turning the corner a bit on strikeouts. Their last six games they averaged 7 2/3rds strikeouts per game. The first six games of the season, they averaged 12 strikeouts per game. So they've cut it by about a third.
2) Crawford has lost what little remains of his skills and capabilities. And we can't get too excited about Casey Schmitt who won't bat .667 forever.
F that! I'm excited! Casey Schmitt is the most promising position player prospect the Giants have produced since I would say Buster Posey. He's got more upside than Crawford had because he's a better hitter and overall athlete with on par defense.
Marco Luciano is hitting .120 in Richmond. I can and will be excited about Casey Schmitt!!! Else, what do I have?
