Welcome to the Giants Talk podcast. Here's Alex Babelich and Cole Kuiper. I know those guys.

Hey, what's up, Giants fans? Welcome to Giants Talk. I'm Cole Kuiper here with Giants Insider Alex Pavlovich.

The All-Star break is finally upon us. I know the Giants are ready for it. I think we're ready for it.

Second half will be here before we know it and we'll be ready for a fresh rest of the season.

So as we head into the break, we're going to revisit our bold predictions from the start

of the year.

Plus, we'll finish up our core four interviews.

I'm sure all of you guys saw the core four ceremony.

It was delightful.

We'll talk about that and wrap those up.

All right, Alex. Let's talk Giants twins a little bit before we get to the Bull predictions and the core four.

We are recording this Saturday night, as we both have all-star break plans to get to

after Sunday's game.

But Giants have split the series so far.

Carlos Correa hasn't done a ton to make the Giants regret not signing him but he did get a cute little

smattering of booze not as bad as I was fearing there were so you're the fan rep here I

need an explanation for it so I it's the casual fans it's people like like my friends who

are who go to three games a year who are like, oh, yeah, there's something about that guy.

Oh, yeah, that's a guy who there was going about.

And that's really all they remember about the situation.
