On the SF Giants podcast with Michael Duca:

#1 Michael, Giants pitcher Alex Cobb pitched a scoreless inning in the All Star Game for the National League he showed off his wears to the nationally televised audience going an inning with a walk and a strikeout.

#2 The talk of the town coming out of the All Star Game was Cobb speaking with Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani about joining the Giants before this month’s trade deadline. Cobb said, “he’s coming to San Francisco.”

#3 A Ohtani acquisition would be a boon for the Giants after the Carlos Correa and Aaron Judge no goes.

#4 Michael talk about how acquiring Ohtani would help San Francisco in the pitching department they’ve got Cobb and Webb as their top starters this could push the Giants over the top as a World Series contender with Ohtani in the rotation.

#5 The Giants open the second half of the season at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. The Bucs are eight games below .500 at 41-49 fourth in the NL Central and 8.5 game off the pace. They lost five of their last ten games. No starters have been announced for Friday. How do you see these two teams matching up.
