Welcome to the Giants Talk podcast.

Here's Alex Babovich and Cole Kuiper.

I know those guys.

Hey everybody. I am Alex Pavlovich along with Cole Kuyper.

We're here every Monday and Thursday to talk Giants with you on the NBC Sports Podcast Network. Today, a very special guest on Giants Talk. Brandon Crawford is having his best season, his best first half, really. We'll see where this all goes, but right now he has 16 home runs. It's not even the All-Star break yet. He is almost certainly headed for Coors Field and the All-Star Games. So it was a lot of fun. Somebody I've covered

for over a decade now to talk to Brandon about how he got here and how he remade his swing and

got back to this point on both sides of the ball. That is coming up. First, as always a shout- to wendy's our sponsor right now at wendy's get two breakfast

sandwiches for just four bucks this is really weird because you did summer sundays and i covered

this game i don't work a lot of sundays i try to have a normal life once a week um until we tape

our podcast on sundays but i covered this game because it's giant's a's and so we're sitting in

the same suite like alongside the press box.

And I'm like, people who watch the podcast on YouTube, I just want to like stare over.

You're in the corner and just want to like, hey, Cole.

But you're awkwardly sitting like eight feet away from each other looking into different laptops.

So it is pretty cool to be at the ballpark here for this because the energy has been

absolutely incredible this series.

Giants didn't quite complete this sweep on Sunday, but Friday, Quato start.

What did you think about that?

Because I have literally had people who listen to this podcast tell me, wow, you don't like

Johnny Quedo anymore.

Just by the tone I use when I talk about him the last few weeks.

So I'm going to have to apologize formally to Johnny for that.
