Welcome to the Giants Talk podcast.

Here's Alex Pavlovich and Cole Kuiper.

I know those guys.

Hey, what's up, Giants fans?

Welcome to another episode of Giants Talk. I'm Cole Kuiper here with Giants Insider Alex Pavlovich. The Giants are mid-series against the Braves with the series split one-to-one as we headed into the 4th of July. God of love 4th of July baseball. It's one of my favorite times to watch a game. Plus, we're going to throw some leftover mailbag questions at you guys, stuff that snuck through the cracks last time, or we didn't

have time for a lot of good cues and keep sending them if you have anything you want to talk about

on Giant Stock. Before we get started, Giant Stock is presented by Mancini's Sleep World. Visit

Mancini's Sleep World for the 4th of July sales event or visit sleepworld.com.

All right, we can start off with game discussion, obviously, Alex.

Game one, well, series is split, obviously. Giants tip game one. Braves took game two.

Game one was great, Hayden Birdsong with another fantastic appearance.

This time gutted it out to get the win.

And he looked great.

Even if he looked super cool and collected out there, even afterwards when he's doing his postgame interviews, he seemed like nonplussed and just like ready to be here maturity wise, I guess.

He is.

Yeah, I've been trying to convey this here and on the pre-and-post game

show. Like, he's a little bit of a character. There's a little, there's a slice of Timmy in there,

just like a little, like, I don't want to say don't care, but just like non-impressed,

unimpressed by a lot of this.

I love a little aloofness.

Yeah, a little aloofness.

That's the perfect way to put it.
