no more brandon crawford. he's now with the cardinals. that means the longest tenured player on the giants is outfielder austin slater. he sat down with laura britt and alex popovich. >> one thing that has been evident this spring is that you, alex cobb, logan webb, really taking on leadership roles. you've been there for some time now. how do you see logan webb as a leader of this team and his leadership style that many people on the outside don't get to see? >> it starts with like his fire and edge on the field. you see him out on the mound and he wants to win. he's going to go out there and compete, no matter what it takes. if his arm is barking, he will give you out and give you seven. he will put the team in a position to win. it starts setting that example. that was something that was passed down by buster and hunter pence and crawford. he was always out of their hurt and playing the game the right way. then i think, i think it has gained some traction with the media. logan mentioned something about saying hi to everyone. i think th

. >>> brandon crawford signed with the cardinals, still hurts to hear. earlier this week that went down, but today he told the athletic he wanted to return to the giants and was willing to accept a backup role. he says the bottom line is i was not wanted back by the one person who matters. crawford was referring to team president farhan zaidi and adding, "i was told i could earn the last shot on the roster like anyone else as a nonrester invitee. that was the nail in the coffin." that's not good news for giants fans to hear. >>> we are deep in the basketball brackets, not for march madness, but the cif postseason tournament. one local school has a chance to make history with a roster that could be remembered for generations. they may just be high schoolers, but the reardon boys basketball team doesn't play like it. >> it's unexpected for a regular high school team. >> this junior is referring to the amount of talent the crusaders employ, something college coaches have clearly noticed. >> they always said you're at the top. >> head coach joey kurtin said

just seconds ago the warriors going for a clean sweep boston on sunday brandon crawford he's now playing the cardinals, but he wanted to stay with the giants. giants didn't want the 37 year old shortstop who hit only 194 last year. you'll recall crawford helped the giants win two world series, but he indicated farhan zaidi didn't want him on the team even in a reduced bench role. giants spring training still looking for their first win in the cactus league, playing texas kyle harrison started, went two and a third struck out two. also walked three. he might be second in the giants rotation. good sign for the giants offense. finally getting some luis matos with not one but two homers on the day. giants with four bombs in all rallying for 17 hits. they win 11 five. it's their first victory of the spring. so do you remember pga star anthony kim 12 years ago? he was a tour winner. ryder cup hero. but he kept getting hurt and hurt and hurt. collected $10 million in insurance money with the stipulation he could never play pro golf again. well after a decade away, kim is back. he's on the live

. >> maybe lots of giants fans are wondering why brandon crawford didn't finish his career in san franciscoll we now have the definitive answer. crawford, who signed a one year deal with the saint louis cardinals earlier this week. he made it perfectly clear he wanted to come back for a 14th season, but it wasn't his call. in an interview with the athletic, crawford said, quote, the bottom line is i was not wanted back by the one person whose opinion matters. he was referring to team president farhan zaidi. i was told i could earn the last spot on the roster like anyone else could as a non-roster invitee, and that was the nail in the coffin. the giants choosing to go with the younger guys, bruce bochy and his texas rangers in scottsdale to take on his former team. bottom of the second. this one was all giants looking for their first spring win and they got it in a big way. that's j.d. davis launching one into left center. that's a three run homer. uh, and then in the in the what? the sixth inning. it's this man, luis matos. he had two homers in the game, both solo shots. the giants pick up

this is so different than when the giants almost moved years ago and the famous brandon crawford pictureays it felt like they were gone and then of course they were not. be my only suggestion toize a's fans. >> do they support the boycott? the results were -- you know, i don't know if they were very surprising. 80% said yes. they support the boycott. a much smaller percentage about 19% said no. and everyone is talking about this mark. actually going to talk more in depth when we head to the other channel, pix+ 44 cable 12 at 7:00. for "people are talking" to debate that even more. so let's switch gears and talk a little bit about basketball. the warriors showing a little life talking about the dubs in the playoff race. the warriors right now are in tenth in the western conference. will they make the playoffs. >> they're just unlikely. the playoffs meaning you have to get out of the play in tournament. right now they look firmly entrenched in tenth if they can even hold on to toe that. the rockets are behind them and have won ten games in a row which is shocking. the warriors have to cont
