brandon crawford has a silver slugger award, two championship rings and three

gold gloves, but he's never started in an all star game. that will change in nine days. the fans voted crawford as the starting shortstop. his bat has been a difference maker this season. he was only hitting .189 at the end of april. he currently leads all national league shortstops with a 300 average. he has the second most rbi and the fourth most home runs. he's quite glad to be heading to d.c. >> i went before as a reserve, and that was awesome, to be able to be in the starting lineup is going to be awesome. should be a lot of fun. >> it's the hair. i tell you. they are selected by their peers and the players on the senior circuit chose buster posey. posey said it's an honor to be selected by those he plays with and against. >> that's definitely a humbling

gesture, i guess, to be voted on anything by your peers and definitely grateful for it. >> brandon belt could still make it to national's park. the first baseman is one of players on the vote ballot. belt won the final vote in 2016 for his lone all star appearance. well, the lone oakland a's representative right now is closer blake. his current string of 19 straight. he leads all major league relievers with a .81 he admits making the all star game had crossed his mind. >> first and foremost, it is a blessing and tribute to my teammates, give me chances to

have success in the back end of the bullpen. i'm pretty excited. >> here's my beef. the biggest snub may very well be the second baseman for the a's. he leads all american second baseman in home runs, rbi and fielding percentage. he's among the top ten second baseman and he's not even on the final vote ballot for the american league. he tries to make the all star team. lowry has never been an all star and he is certainly worthy. >> the warriors roster seems close to be set. but two questions remain. will the team resign patrick mccaw and the would the warriors resign david west if the 37-year-old does not retire. today we learned zaza pachulia will not return. the 34-year-old has agreed to a one year, $2.4 million with the

pistons. but he is known for a series of on court incidents rather than his play. his court vision and screen setting ability fit well with the warriors for a time. but he barely saw the court during the play offs. >> this is the summer league version. marcus had a team high 23 points for the warriors. golden state built a big lead, but the rockets came back. you remember him? he's that really excited georgia state coach. kind of have to wonder if game seven of the western conference finals ever crosses their minds. no. warriors lose this one 87-81. ah, n'dohad of the green briar. mickelsonooer, two weeks ago he

another two stroke penalty. he putted and hit his ball while still moving. he went and found an official to call the penalty on himself. >> let me run it by them. >> yeah. it didn't dawn on me. >> it sure was. phil finished one under for the tournament, well back of kevin nah who could have putted from the moon today. things were going so well for him. this one from 43 out. finishing from 19 under to win his first tournament since 2011. this report is sponsored by river rock casino. i'm opinionated when it comes to lowry. he earns. it is so frustrating when you seeog the final vote for the american league. i hope he makes it because he has earned it.
