0:00.0	Welcome to the Giants are world champions.
0:08.6	Welcome to the Giants Insider podcast on NBC Sports Bay Area.com.
0:14.2	Introducing your host, San Francisco Giants Insider, Alex Pavlovich.
0:19.7	Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Giants Insider podcast.
0:22.3	Today's guest is Austin Slater.
