Welcome to the Boc Talk podcast on NBC Sports Bay Area.com.

Introducing your host, NBC Sports Bay Area's Jessica Kleinschmidt.

Welcome back to another episode of Boc Talk presented by Wendy's.

Giants Insider for NBC Sports Bay Area, Alex Pavlovich, is here.

And we get to talk about Giants in the playoffs.

Alex, thanks for joining me today.

Of course, Jessica.

So before we head deep into the playoffs, it was something that I really wanted to talk to you about

because it bothered me big time.

I'm not good when I see a

player get emotional or anyone get emotional, but Alex Dickerson got pretty emotional over the

weekend. And of course, there was a player on the Giants who tested positive for the coronavirus.

Some weird reporting. Weird probably isn't the right word. Irresponsible reporting, I guess we could

say. Was it a false positive for the coronavirus test? Is that what it ultimately was? Yeah, that's what

they ultimately determined that it was a false positive. And Dickerson got some bad feedback because

when we immediately think of a positive coronavirus test,

there's a lot of shaming involved, which I think is awful. But he's got a pregnant wife at home

and he was getting some, I guess, really bad backlash with it. But tell us a little bit about

how he got emotional with the media and what he said. Yeah, I mean,

the first thing to know about him is he might have the best sense of humor in there. I mean,

it's either him or Brandon Bell. He's a really dry, sarcastic guy. I have never seen him the way

he was yesterday. And he was a little emotional. He got choked up and said that it was a rough week. I mean, it's going to be rough anyway. If you're a baseball player, your name gets out there.
