00:00That's the way you have to get
00:01an elite pitcher you have to get
00:02it early you have to get to him
00:03early and just get something up
00:05and put a good swing on his
00:06seat so now you're a judge
00:08doesn't get any easier and the
00:10Giants will bring the infield
00:12in five nothing New York in the
00:15top of the second inning batting
00:16with only one away judges
00:20strikeout victim in his first
00:21at bat tonight.
00:32Logan Webb has not endured this
00:34kind of damage in any one inning
00:36since the twenty twenty three
00:38season.
00:40Yankees putting their feet up on
00:41the furniture here on opening day.
00:45Just the second inning but Webb is
00:48one of those guys CC like you
00:49mentioned if you get to him early
00:50you have a better chance because
00:51as he settles in it gets better
00:53and better as the game goes on.
00:55That's what any lead starting
00:56pitching to be honest.
01:03Two balls and two strikes to the
01:04three time MVP kind of coming
01:07right after judge right here
01:08right now.
01:08Couple backdoor seekers.
01:09Those are kind of on the corner
01:10judge even thought about
01:11challenging the first the first
01:13one.
01:14Nothing but fastballs to judge so
01:16far.
01:19It's his second strikeout of
01:21judge today.
01:26But that's kind of the the
01:28dynamic of the Yankees offense.
01:30You you have your judge and he
01:31can pick you up and carry on
01:32some days right here.
01:33That's the change of fastball
01:34fastball change up down and in
01:36freezes judge right there.
01:38And that thing is nice look we're
01:39starting starting outside on the
01:40outside part of play ends up
01:42right down the middle.
01:44Cody Bellinger up there hacking
01:45as all the Yankees have been
01:47this inning Bellinger the ninth
01:49Yankee to come to the plate here
01:50in this top of the second.
02:05two balls in a strike to Cody
02:07Bellinger.
02:11For Webb the pitch count now is.
02:15Going to be an issue as well.
02:28A one to two.
02:32Yeah right here right now you're
02:33just thinking just get this last
02:35out you know try to get some weak
02:37contact get the boys back in the
02:38dugout score a couple of runs
02:40and get us back in this game.
02:45And Belanger's a strikeout
02:46victim but last year's loudest
02:49lineup in Major League Baseball
02:50Struck joins us on the telecast.
02:53Our friend Jazz Chisholm Jr.
02:55kind enough to visit with us
02:56during the game.
02:57Jazz what a way to start the
02:58season getting hit by a pitch.
03:00First time ever.
03:03How we doing fellas?
03:05We're good.
03:06Elliot Ramos leading things off.
03:08I would imagine you guys are
03:09feeling good after a five run
03:10second.
03:11Yeah I mean who wouldn't want to
03:13start off the year like that
03:14you know first two innings get
03:15five up there.
03:17I feel like we're dialed.
03:21Jazz I want to ask you how is
03:23the shadows the five o'clock
03:25game it's always a little bit
03:27tricky.
03:27How'd you see it up there?
03:28I know you got one in that you
03:29said the lat the weight room
03:30you know saved you there but how
03:32do you see it?
03:33How's the vision up there right
03:34now?
03:34I'm not going to lie to you.
03:37I couldn't see it that's why I
03:38probably got hit.
03:39I couldn't see it that's why I
03:43got hit.
03:43I'm not really good at getting
03:45out of the way.
03:47Ball and two strikes account to
03:49Elliot Ramos leading things off
03:51in the last for the second
03:52breaking ball misses two and
03:53two.
03:55Jazz you put some pretty big
03:56goals on this year.
03:57You had a great year last year
03:5931 backs 31 bombs.
04:01You were talking 50-50 this
04:03season.
04:03Yeah I mean why not why not
04:06shoot for the stars and land on
04:07the moon you know what I mean.
04:09And Ramos is a strikeout
04:11victim number two for free
04:13today.
04:14I feel like every time I shoot
04:16low I get low low so why not
04:19shoot high.
04:21You got to believe it before you
04:22can do it.
04:23You got to see if they can be
04:24in my bag.
04:26I'm not going to be out there
04:27and say oh I'm going to go
04:28hit 20-20 and then hit 19
04:30overs.
04:32No I love it Jazz.
04:33What's up bro?
04:34What's the vibe right now of
04:35the season?
04:36I know everybody was saying
04:37that you guys are running it
04:37back and I know internally you
04:39guys feel good about you know
04:41the squad that you have so
04:42what's the vibe for you guys
04:43right now?
04:44I mean the vibe is good man.
04:45Everybody like it's a team that
04:46really knows each other already
04:48and spent a good amount of time
04:50with each other the last two
04:51years, three years, three seasons
04:53and I mean we're like a family in
04:56the clubhouse bro so like it's
04:58sick to see everybody come back
04:59you know and have the same team
05:01and we already know what we can
05:02do you know and we hold each
05:03other accountable and that's the
05:04best thing about it.
05:05Yeah absolutely.
05:05And we knew where we messed up
05:06a little bit last year you
05:07know.
05:08Yeah having that chemistry is huge
05:11you know having the same guys
05:12you know coming back and knowing
05:13the personalities knowing that
05:15you can't get on and you can't
05:16get on it makes a huge
05:18difference.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Jazz I want to ask you about
05:21your starting pitcher here today
05:22tell us a little bit about
05:23getting to play behind him.
05:25What's it like playing behind
05:26your 19 game winner last year
05:28Max Freed?
05:29I mean it was great not
05:30not facing him anymore you
05:32know.
05:34That same division in Atlanta
05:36and Miami.
05:37I mean it sucks kind of facing
05:38him every time you know and
05:40now I get to sit behind him
05:42and watch him work and realize
05:43why he was always getting me
05:44out.
05:45So it kind of feel good to see
05:47everybody else get out from him
05:49other than me you know.
05:50That's right.
05:52Two balls and two strikes to
05:54Casey Smith.
05:55And a little immediate take.
06:06That's a 94 mile an hour cutter
06:08that he had no chance to get
06:10out of the way.
06:11At least he got in protection.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Hopefully then we'll see if it's
06:15against the guard right here.
06:16There you go.
06:17See it's a little bit of the
06:18elbow guard.
06:19That's kind of a bit of a
06:20freebie there.
06:21Must be nice.
06:22Chance will take you.
06:23You either got you know you
06:24have a guard.
06:25You have that lap muscle my
06:26man.
06:26What are you talking about?
06:28Lap muscle work.
06:29It works you know.
06:30Check the ball.
06:31Yeah.
06:32Hey Jazz.
06:33I want to ask you another
06:35thing because you get a lot of
06:36range out there.
06:37I love watching you work in
06:37defense.
06:38Talk to us you know some
06:39little leaguers out here.
06:40What's your prep before each
06:41pitch.
06:41I know you're talking to us and
06:42you're doing the footwork.
06:43How do you like to get ready on
06:44these pitches.
06:45I like to keep my feet moving
06:46you know.
06:47I mean when you know who you're
06:48playing against.
06:52You were just moving before
06:53you hit that ball that way.
06:54You took off before the ball
06:56went that direction.
06:57Like I said I feel like you
06:58know when you play against a
06:59lot of guys and you understand
07:01the pitches that they hit and
07:03where they hit them.
07:04You can have yourself a little
07:05cheap you know.
07:06Especially if you understand
07:07your pitcher you know.
07:16Ball and two strikes the
07:17counts of Patrick Bailey.
07:20Jazz there's a lot of talk in
07:22baseball all the time about
07:23sign stealing guys standing at
07:25second base and relaying
07:26signs.
07:27You're out there at second
07:28base.
07:28Do you see a lot of that.
07:30Oh yeah.
07:30I see a lot of teams.
07:32I see a lot of teams do that.
07:34We do it.
07:35I mean.
07:36It's part of the game.
07:37You know.
07:37You got to hide your
07:38pitches.
07:39And if you don't hide the
07:40pitches the other team
07:41will tell the other hitters.
07:43You know.
07:43So what can you do at second
07:45base to try to go and talk
07:47to the pitcher or is there a
07:48sign for you.
07:49How do you stop that.
07:50I normally let the pitchers
07:51know but at the same time
07:52I try my best to get in
07:55the runner's head so they
07:57don't ever be looking in
07:58there.
08:01And that's three for Max.
08:03Three today.
08:05Bill Miller leaned back on that.
08:08Bill Miller leaned back on that.
08:11Look at Bill Miller.
08:13Did you feel this one Jazz?
08:15I did.
08:18He liked that one.
08:19He loved that one.
08:20That is the cutter inside the
08:23bread and butter.
08:24Yo Jazz I wanted to ask you
08:25about the ABS.
08:26How do you feel about ABS?
08:28I know you know we had
08:28spring training with it this
08:29year.
08:30It's implemented for the
08:31first time this year in the
08:32big leagues.
08:33You like it?
08:34You know I like it bro.
08:35Come on.
08:37You know I like it.
08:38You know sometimes you know
08:40umpires aren't perfect so
08:41you know something they're
08:43going to help them and not
08:44really show them up.
08:45If you do it the right way
08:46you're not really showing
08:47them up.
08:47You know everybody misses
08:48pitches.
08:48Even us we get it wrong
08:49sometimes thinking it's
08:50false.
08:51Got to try.
08:52So I feel like it works
08:53both ways you know.
08:54Absolutely.
08:550-1 to former Yankee
08:57Harrison Bader who falls
08:58behind nothing in two.
09:00And Jazz I know we got
09:01two strikes two outs here
09:02but I got to ask you how
09:03much do you feel like the
09:04relaxation of frustration
09:05towards the umpire and
09:06that tension since the ABS
09:09and spring training.
09:10I think it helps a lot
09:11honestly because now you
09:13can't blame the umpire for
09:15nothing you know.
09:18You can't you don't have
09:19that excuse to be like oh
09:20he he he's the one reason I
09:22got out.
09:23Nope.
09:24Ain't no more of that.
09:25It feels like a family.
09:26We like that.
09:28Yeah I was I was a victim
09:29of that.
09:30Can't lie.
09:33Ball and two strikes
09:34account to Harrison Bader
09:35batting with two out and
09:36runner at first five nothing
09:38Yankees early.
09:40I mean.
09:45Jazz what's your favorite
09:46ballpark besides Yankee
09:48Stadium?
09:50Um to play in?
09:51Yeah.
09:51I'd say either Atlanta or
09:53L.A. Dodgers.
09:55I like Anaheim too.
09:57What about what about
09:59Atlanta you like?
10:00I don't know.
10:01I get a lot of hits in
10:01Atlanta.
10:03That's what I'm talking
10:04about Jazz.
10:05I love Milwaukee baby.
10:09Hey you got him.
10:10Hey Max.
10:11The last two of the first
10:12three to reach is struck
10:13out for his last six.
10:16The Jazz thanks for
10:17visiting with us.
10:17Have a great year.
10:21Have a good one y'all.
10:27Turn to the ring as he
10:29takes on Arsene Beck
10:30Mokmogon.
10:31But that's not all.
10:32Connor Ben will face off
10:34against Regis Prograte.
10:36Two epic battles one
10:37epic night live April
10:3811th only on Netflix.
10:41Logan Webb after a very
10:43rocky top of the second
10:45back to work in the third
10:46against the same part of
10:48the order.
10:49Yankees batted around and
10:50scored five in the second
10:52so it's Rice Stanton and
10:53Chisholm once again.
10:55And I think Manny this is
10:57going to be an important
10:57part of their lineup four
10:58five to six you know Ben
10:59Rice can take the next
11:00step get to 35 40 homers
11:03Jazz Chisholm do his 50 50
11:05big and G stay healthy I
11:07think it's just going to
11:08help those guys at the top
11:08of the top of the order.
11:11Ben Rice is really has
11:13really established himself
11:14had a very good year in
11:152025 as Stanton waits next
11:1812th round pick out of
11:19Dartmouth back in 2021.
11:23And everybody took note of
11:25what this guy did
11:27specifically against the
11:28fastball last year my
11:29goodness a slugging
11:31percentage of 550 against
11:33the heater.
11:36And in very elite company in
11:38terms of hard hit percentage.
11:43And that's number five for
11:45Will.
11:48Right there inside corner and
11:50honestly we haven't seen the
11:51challenge yet we were all
11:52thinking it was going to come
11:53early and some of these balls on
11:55the corners but it seems like
11:56they're being a little bit more
11:57careful with them now that the
11:59regular season has started but
12:00beautiful pitch Ben Rice doesn't
12:02argue.
12:03Reasons.
12:05Ben Rice.
12:08Here's Stanton.
12:10Logan Webb started an opening day
12:12against the Yankees a few years
12:14ago in the Bronx.
12:17And struck out 12.
12:27His opponent had an even better
12:29day.
12:30Garrett Cole struck out 14.
12:33They combined to set an opening
12:34day strikeout record for starting
12:36pitchers.
12:41I'm out on 26 strikeouts.
12:44I don't want to see.
12:46See some offense.
12:49Needed to ABS.
12:51Two quick outs now for Jazz Chisholm.
12:56And all of a sudden Webb's found
12:58that sweeper.
12:58So I see see what's saying they
13:00were aggressive with the change
13:01up early almost like they were
13:02trying to take it out of his
13:03arsenal now the cat and mouse
13:05Logan Webb throwing some sweepers
13:06keeping them honest.
13:08Yeah well it's aggressive you know
13:09aggressive on that change up
13:10those guys going four for six
13:11off the chain or four for six
13:12off the change up so far early.
13:14And he's got to swing that early
13:15he's switching up and went to
13:17sweeper being able to make in
13:18game adjustments like that
13:19it's huge and it just speaks to
13:21the vet that he is and how poised
13:23he is out there on the mound.
13:24How quick do the Yankees be
13:26like hey he's not going to change
13:27up as much get ready for the
13:28sweeper.
13:29They haven't lost the Yankees.
13:33Chisholm bounces it out to first.
13:35Schmidt will do it himself.
13:37And it's a one-two-three-third for
13:39Logan Webb.
13:41Caught by a fan in the bleachers.
13:45Yeah you heard the cap the chaser
13:47trades one-piece season two is streaming
13:49right now on Netflix.
13:53Top of the order here for the Giants
13:55in their half of inning number three
13:56five nothing Yankees early on tonight.
13:59Opening day on Netflix.
14:04Arise Chapman endeavors against the
14:06three-time All-Star who after kind of
14:09a wobbly first inning racked up three
14:12strikeouts in the second.
14:14Yeah he seemed to settle into this
14:16game and you know he started to throw
14:17a lot of strikes and getting ahead
14:19not miss it bad but he's been getting
14:21ahead and he's starting to put guys
14:23away.
14:25Arise walked on four pitches to start
14:28the bottom of the first and this is
14:29a guy who's not easy to walk.
14:32He's usually up there hacking.
14:34Yeah for the Giants base runners are
14:36going to be a premium if you want to
14:37claw back into this ballgame second
14:38time through the lineup.
14:40And when you have a five-nothing lead
14:42like this it can be difficult when
14:43you're not super sharp.
14:44You know what I mean when you when
14:45you when you're struggling with those
14:46strikes you get a big lead like this
14:48you're just trying to find it you
14:50know find a rhythm be able to get
14:52these guys back in the dugout and
14:54try to score some more runs.
14:57Freed right back in to count three
14:58balls and two strikes but sometimes I
15:00would always want like a closer game
15:02to make me lock in a little more.
15:04Yeah you take the foot off the gas
15:05and all of a sudden you give up a
15:07couple you got to keep attacking
15:09just like it's a close game.
15:11First full count against Freed.
15:14Again this dude's tough to walk.
15:16One of the hardest to strike out as well.
15:22It's the first time he swung the bat today.
15:28And this is good for the Giants this is why you bring in a rise to
15:32give you a nice long at bat against a
15:34front line starter.
15:36Give the guys behind him a chance to get something
15:38and work it and get him tired.
15:42Badly still three and two.
15:45Louisa Rice by the way carries a 15 game
15:49hitting streak into opening day.
15:51If you're like me.
15:53You think that hitting streaks should all
15:55be counted within the course of the season.
15:58In fact they carry over.
16:00And if anybody gets close to DiMaggio
16:02with a carryover hitting streak.
16:04We got problems.
16:05I feel like it's harder to carry it over a season
16:08because you get in a rhythm in a hitting streak
16:10and now all of a sudden it's a whole new ballgame.
16:12He's pitching the at-back.
16:13Smashed at first.
16:15Rice to Freed.
16:16And there's one away.
16:19Rice to Freed to
16:21Chrysler is on a kayak.
16:23Brick Chrysler is in the cove.
16:26Yeah, Bert!
16:27You're on a boat, baby.
16:29We're the flippy floppies.
16:30I've got wildlife on my shoulder.
16:33They're grilling hot dogs on the boat behind me.
16:35This could not be better.
16:38Yeah!
16:39Might be a splash in.
16:40Are you going to dive in?
16:41You got the life jacket.
16:42Oh, I'm not getting in the water.
16:43It's freezing.
16:45This is tight.
16:45We're tied up like it's Jaws 2.
16:47There's no way.
16:48Be careful out there, Bert.
16:50I heard it gets ruthless out there.
16:51Yeah, this is the best way to enjoy this stadium.
16:54I've sat in the cheap seats,
16:55the expensive ones that the Tech boys buy,
16:58but this is where I want to watch a game.
17:00Oh, yeah.
17:01Nothing better, huh?
17:02It's amazing.
17:04Spencer Hill is allowed to drink right now.
17:07Hey, are they hospitable out there, Bert?
17:09Because I know they can be kind of territorial.
17:10No, no, no.
17:11I'm not working.
17:11Yeah, I'd love a beer.
17:12Thank you very much.
17:13They're very hospitable.
17:14You're getting offered beers and hot dogs.
17:16I'm getting offered beers.
17:17How do we open this thing?
17:18Oh, look at this.
17:19Oh, let's cover the brand.
17:21What's that flex?
17:22Matt Chapman with a fly ball at the left
17:25in the south field is Connie Bellinger
17:27for at number two.
17:29Chrysler in a kayak sounds like a podcast to me.
17:32Hey, I've got three podcasts right now.
17:34I'm up for another one.
17:36You need to start one in the kayak, my man.
17:40Hey, let me tell you something.
17:41Oh, thank you very much, sir.
17:42I'm on blood thinners.
17:43I'm not supposed to watch it.
17:44Should I do my cardiologist?
17:45Please change over.
17:47Conversations in a kayak, huh?
17:50That's the new name of your fourth podcast.
17:53Conversations in a kayak.
17:54I love it.
17:54Hey, I just found the pedals on this thing.
17:56This is amazing, guys.
17:58Enjoy.
18:00We'll check in with you.
18:01Hopefully, you're still sailing in a few innings.
18:04Cheers, gentlemen.
18:05Thank you so much.
18:06Giants go down in order.
18:08Still 5-0 Yankees.
18:13Welcome back to San Francisco.
18:14Tony Vitello, they got to Logan's off-speed early.
18:17How has he adjusted and settled?
18:19Yeah, they were obviously getting a little more aggressive early in the count.
18:22So, I mean, he's adjusted as far as pitch location early.
18:25But also, every one of their hitters is capable of doing damage.
18:28And he's got good stuff.
18:29So, it's a battle that you're going to see each at bat.
18:32I see your guys talking after they face Max Fried.
18:35What are they sharing?
18:36What are they seeing?
18:37I think just the shapes of the pitches.
18:39I think there's a couple of things that are different than maybe in the past
18:42or some things that they've seen in particular tonight.
18:45So, they're just trying to communicate and stay ahead of the game.
18:48Appreciate the time.
18:49Thank you so much.
18:49Maddie.
18:50Yeah, Lauren, thanks.
18:51We've had our first ABS challenge.
18:54ABS powered by T-Mobile.
18:58And a call that was a strike.
19:01Little sinker up and in.
19:03Has been confirmed.
19:05Bill Miller stayed perfect.
19:09But, see, him being able to throw the sweeper last pitch to get them off the changeup.
19:12I mean, last inning, to get them off the changeup early in the count,
19:15has opened up to me being able to throw that sinker now again.
19:18You know, early in counts to get ahead.
19:22Caviero on the short hop.
19:23Good play by Matt Chapman.
19:25Five-time Bo Glover made that look much easier than it was.
19:28So, if you had on your bingo card, the first ABS challenge would come on a pitch that would be
19:35upheld.
19:37You're a winner.
19:40Every challenge it felt like we watched in spring training was a call that was overturned.
19:45Yes.
19:46I would like to see the percentages.
19:48It was pretty even.
19:51Here's Ryan McMahon with one away.
19:54Here was the pitching question.
19:56The pitch challenged by Jose.
19:59Thought that was up and in.
20:01Challenge.
20:03Call was upheld.
20:06The umpires unit is at home going, yes, one for our guys.
20:10Umpires up one-nothing.
20:11It's going to be a battle all year.
20:13And I can see why you would challenge that, right?
20:15Like, you think that's up and in.
20:16It looks like it's at your hands.
20:18That's also fun to watch the game without the box there anymore.
20:22And you get to watch the art of the game once again.
20:25And also, is it a strike?
20:26Is it not?
20:27It's a part of the fan experience.
20:28It becomes fun.
20:29And to me, I feel like the magic is kind of back.
20:32Well, so as L and the guys were talking about during the pregame show, that's one challenge
20:37going from the Yankees now because it goes away.
20:40You have two.
20:41If you miss on one of them, it leaves your inventory.
20:44So the Yankees are left with one ABS challenge now.
20:47And that makes it really, you know, you've got to really know if you want to challenge again.
20:52And I think Bailey just thought that two-oh pitch.
20:54I think that presented, I think that was a ball, and it caught him a strike, and I think
20:59McMahon had Cabanero not challenged.
21:02I think he would have challenged that pitch.
21:04Yeah, you better make sure you get the next one right.
21:06There's a new game within the game, and there's a lot of things always happening in baseball.
21:10The more deep you go, there's more things to talk about.
21:13But this is a new addition to the game within the game.
21:19And then when message McMahon draws a walk.
21:24So here is the rule in its most abbreviated form.
21:28Again, as you mentioned, each club gets two to start the game.
21:31You keep them as long as they're successful.
21:33Only the pitcher, catcher, or hitter can challenge, and you've got only two seconds to do so.
21:39So no help from the dugout, no help from the video room, and you get that call.
21:44It plays on the scoreboard.
21:45Fans react to it, and think of like watching a tennis major and the reaction that those
21:52boundary calls get when they put them up on the scoreboard.
21:54First of all, there would have been no John McEnroe legacy if that Hawkeye thing was in
22:00tennis back in the 70s and 80s, but that's what we're dealing with here in Major League Baseball.
22:07Here's Austin Wells now with a man aboard and one away, a ball and a strike to Wells,
22:12who joins your former teammate Brett Gardner, CeCe, as the only Yankees to hit leadoff opening
22:20day one year, and then the next season, bat number nine, high opening down.
22:24And he's got a base hit.
22:27Bottom of the order's been very productive for the Yankees against Webb today.
22:32Wells now two for two.
22:34Yeah, he went right back to that change at first pitch.
22:37Wells laid off of it, and they got a sinker that he can handle it, and they put it this
22:40way on.
22:41Yeah, right here, sinker a little bit up, a little bit over the plate.
22:45Not exactly where he wanted it, but that ball's moving a lot.
22:48Good swing from Wells, finds a hole, and Yankees are in business once again.
22:54McMahon walks, Wells singles.
22:56Two on with one away for Trent Grisham, who doubled in two runs back in the second.
23:03Now, back to the ABS, it's pretty impressive.
23:06They have, like, 12 cameras from all these different angles,
23:08but the one thing that I thought was really funny, Justin Verlander brought this up.
23:11The bio used to just be like, ah, just tell us your height and your weight.
23:14And a couple guys got a little bit shorter this year.
23:19Guys are losing some attention.
23:21I'll see how far us is coming in soon.
23:26Ball is straight.
23:30By the way, I want to correct that.
23:32Grisham's ball in the second was scored a triple.
23:34In fact, it's the first opening day triple for a Yankee since Johnny Damon in 2009.
23:40That's a callback.
23:42The cage man.
23:44Ball and two strikes, the counts of Grisham.
23:48Except with the Yankees, he wasn't quite as cave, Manny.
23:51No, he couldn't do the beer.
24:032009 opening day was not a great day for me.
24:06Oh, yeah.
24:07I was there.
24:07Biggester memory lane.
24:09The last thing I remember is giving up a big double to Adam Jones.
24:14Being pulled out of the game.
24:16I would say that it ended better than it started that year, though.
24:19It definitely did.
24:21You take opening day like that for the World Series championship.
24:27But it was different.
24:28You know, I had a chance to start opening day a couple of times in Cleveland.
24:30But putting on that New York Yankees uniform and having that New York across your chest
24:34for the very first time was incredible.
24:37Seeing Moe and seeing Jeter and A-Rod and all those different guys in the uniform made it real.
24:47I don't think anybody can speak to what it's like to join the Yankees after a difficult offseason better than
24:54you can.
24:55Because that 2008 season, the way you ended it in Milwaukee, had the Derry State in luck with you.
25:02There's a little one.
25:03Another one ahead for no man's lap.
25:04And Harrison got her right away.
25:06Former Gold Glover comes up to make a very nice catch.
25:11And that's definitely a lot more difficult here at Oracle.
25:14It's a very windy day.
25:16It swirls.
25:16It does a lot of tricks.
25:18And Harrison Bader, this is why they brought him in.
25:20The Gold Glove center fielder, the instincts, and running out, sliding, staying with it in the wind.
25:24You can just see everything's blowing everywhere.
25:27And that's a tough catch.
25:28Nice play.
25:29You know, it's just like the ball Devers hit earlier in the game.
25:32But Drew Grissom kind of lost it in the sun, and shadows are kind of gone now, and, you know,
25:36Bader's ever make that play.
25:38So another opportunity for Aaron Judge.
25:41A couple of strikeouts for him so far tonight.
25:43Two men on with two away.
25:46And a swing and a missy to sweeper.
25:51He's really found that sweeper.
25:52The sweeper is what's got him back into this ball game and getting through some of these innings, getting the
25:59Giants a chance.
26:00You can see the difference when they see the sweeper there.
26:02Look at 100% sinker or changeup, it feels like.
26:07Aaron Judge, a 340 hitter last year in Ratsa MVP honors with runners in scoring position.
26:19Another one fouled away this time.
26:21It's a ball and two strikes.
26:22That one wasn't quite as sharp.
26:25But good location.
26:26Location can trump.
26:27That's top outside of the zone and just not able to get to it is just.
26:33And here we go, two strikes.
26:36Where you go here?
26:37You go back up.
26:39In.
26:39I think it's, I mean, sweeper away.
26:42He knows it.
26:43Okay, Joe.
26:45He has struck him out on a changeup and a sinker tonight.
26:50Two and two.
26:51That last pitch he fouled off as a force or if he goes top of the zone sinker coming back
26:56outside, I think he had a chance to get a look at top of the zone sinker away.
27:00All right.
27:01All right.
27:03All right.
27:04Three passing backs and jumps.
27:07And they get Webb out of trouble stranding two in the fourth.
27:13Opening day in San Francisco and the visitors still leading by five.
27:24Welcome back to San Francisco on Aaron Boone's favorite day.
27:28You told your team, call someone who helped you get to this point on opening day.
27:32Who's that person for you, Aaron?
27:34It's different every year.
27:36This year will be my mom.
27:38I know she's watching.
27:39So, my mom and dad are nowhere on the couch watching.
27:43So, hi, mom and dad.
27:45Love you.
27:46Love you.
27:47Max Fried looks good.
27:48I'm sure Garrett Cole's lurking somewhere, wanting to pitch tomorrow.
27:51Full strength is when, do you think?
27:54Tough to say.
27:55I mean, full strength.
27:55He looks, he's already at full strength.
27:57It's a matter of now being disciplined to the build-up process, you know, and eventually building him to where
28:02he's back to 80, 90 pitches.
28:04And that's still a ways away.
28:06But, man, he looks great.
28:07He's throwing the ball great.
28:09His command's been pretty sharp.
28:10And we're looking forward to getting him back at some point.
28:13CeCe Sabathia is in the booth.
28:15He told me to tell you that his Raiders will win more games than you're able.
28:18No chance.
28:20He's not buying that, Aaron.
28:22Yeah, we might have a tough time selling people on that scene.
28:26We're getting windowsed, bro.
28:27We're back.
28:29Talk about the optimism right here.
28:32The flow of the positive.
28:34He's always optimism.
28:35We tell about Halloween.
28:38I went to the catch of Willie Adamas leading off the San Francisco 4th.
28:43I love Boone shouting out mom and dad watching at home.
28:46Of course, the Boone family is baseball royalty with such a great lineage of Major League players and managers and
28:55stars dating back to Grandfather Ray.
29:00Adamas sprays that into center field.
29:03Grish and froze for a moment.
29:04Makes a routine catch for number one.
29:10So far, so good for the visitors.
29:12So far, so good for us in Netflix's first-ever Major League Baseball telecast.
29:17Hunter Pest, CeCe Sabathia, Matt Vesker with Lauren Shahadi.
29:20I don't think any of us saw a five-run inning against Brandon Webb in our tee leaves today.
29:25But that's, in fact, what happened for the Yankees.
29:28Yeah, they got to him.
29:30You could tell they had a game plan to get after the changeup, and they executed it and just really
29:35just suffocated them quickly.
29:36It was a lightning strike and a good inning there for the Yankees.
29:40Somewhere, Brandon Webb's ears are ringing.
29:43Logan Webb has a good singer as well.
29:45I didn't want to call you out.
29:46We weren't going to call you out.
29:47I had one inside out where Logan Webb, of course, as I misspoke, 1-0 to count a gentleman lead.
29:53But to Logan's credit, you know, being able to come out in the third and fourth half, shut down innings,
29:58you know,
29:58trying to help his team, you know, get back in the dugout and score some runs, you know,
30:02you can see how he leads the league in innings pitched every year, giving up five in one inning
30:07and then still being able to come out and throw up zero.
30:10It's so impressive how he does that.
30:12Lee out to left center.
30:14Grisham gliding over to make the catch.
30:16And there are two away.

30:39Don't look now, but Max Fried has retired seven in a row
30:43as he goes to work on Elliott Ramos with the bases empty and two gone.
30:49We mentioned the significance of Elliott Ramos starting in left field tonight, guys.
30:55And it ends quite a distinguished streak in Giants franchise history, Hunter, one that you were a part of.
31:02Yeah, it's one of those classic Hunter Pence things, his streaks that I'm a part of, just super awkward.
31:07But he ends a streak of 18 consecutive different opening days starting left fielders.
31:13Yeah, that's a classic baseball stat right there.
31:16Congratulations to Ramos.
31:17The industry could start with Barry Bonds.
31:20You know, our good friend Mark DeRosa was a part of that, myself as well.
31:23And no longer.
31:24We have a consistent opening day left field in San Francisco, and it's Elliott Ramos.
31:30That is quite a run.
31:31Hitting them bommels.
31:32That is quite a run, though, right?
31:34It's most in history.
31:36And Ramos sprays it into right, and it's a base hit that ends the scratch of seven in a row,
31:42retired by three.
31:47It was a fun step, though.
31:48It's the 19-year streak ties St. Louis Browns, Baltimore Orioles, 19-year streak.
31:54I'm also starting a different left fielder from 1937 to 1955.
31:59So we have the Giants of Tide, but do not break the Major League record.
32:06Two-out base runner now for Casey Schmidt, who was hit by a pitch in the second.
32:14It's a fascinating list of names, too.
32:17You mentioned a couple of guys on that list.
32:19Mark DeRosa yourself.
32:20Barry started it.
32:22Mike Morse.
32:24Fred Lewis.
32:24I mean, you'd see a lot of names in there, players that were here that had nice careers.
32:31Chopper to shortstop.
32:33Caballero the short way.
32:35Nothing comes with a two-out single.
32:36We played four complete at Oracle Park.
32:39With the Yankees on top of the Giants on opening day, 5-0 New York.
32:44Baseball is brought to you by Adobe.
32:47Always on fan engagement.
32:48It starts with Adobe.
32:50Official partner of Major League Baseball.
32:52And by Intuit TurboTax.
32:55Now this is Taxes.
32:59Top of the fifth inning and on the first pitch, Cody Bellinger has a base hit into right.
33:04And the theme continues.
33:06The Yankees jumping the count early against the two-time All-Star.
33:14And that's got to feel good for Cody Bellinger.
33:16Get the first hit out of the way here.
33:17And yeah, you're right.
33:18It's a good get one out of the heart of the plate.
33:21Get your sinker.
33:21Get your change up and let it rip.
33:23And that's a beautiful line drive for Bellinger.
33:30Another first pitch knock.
33:32They come back to back.
33:34So now four of the eight hits for New York have come on the first pitch of the at-bat.
33:39And there are runners at the corners on two pitches to open the fifth.
33:43They're just seeing it up and just whatever they can put a good swing on doing it.
33:47It's a beautiful approach.
33:49It's relentless.
33:49It's aggressive.
33:50Gets you one of the changes for the sinker out because Webb does have such.
33:54All of his pitches have a lot of depth.
33:56And right here you see this pitch starts a little bit up.
33:58And Ben Rice absolutely squares this one up.
34:01It's pure off the bat.
34:02100 miles an hour line drive.
34:06So now the veteran Giancarlo Stanton on an opening day roster for the 15th time in his career.
34:13So far the Yankees have cashed in with runners in scoring position.
34:16They are three of seven in that category.
34:20And it's a ball and no strikes on the five-time All-Star.
34:28Big career numbers against the Giants for the guy they call Big Gene.
34:32Who has driven on a run with the third straight hit to open the fifth inning.
34:37And none of them cheat.
34:39These are all just blistered line drives.
34:42This one 114.4.
34:45I'm going to add the .4 because when you get to the hundred and teens.
34:54Pitch count's getting up there a little bit.
34:55You might want to start getting somebody up in the bullpen.
34:57Yeah.
34:57These are nuts.
34:59You don't often square up big league pitching three times in a row.
35:02And it's a good lineup but they're on it.
35:04That's it.
35:05Chapter back.
35:06Gave up four straight hits in the second.
35:09Three straight hits to open the fifth.
35:11You know, ifs and buts and candies and nuts and all that stuff.
35:15If you could take the second inning away.
35:17Webb's been pretty good tonight.
35:20But the fifth inning is starting the way the second started.
35:23I just think you have to give the Yankees hitters and coaches credit, you know, for, you know, the game
35:28plan that came out here against Webb today.
35:30And, you know, like I said, just being aggressive, seeing it up and putting a good swing on whenever they
35:34see.
35:35Yeah, it's been extraordinary in executing as well.
35:40Chisel bounces hit the first.
35:42Schmidt the second for one.
35:44And it's not going to be in time.
35:46It gets away at first base.
35:48And that'll score a run.
35:50A giant misplay leads to a second run this inning.
35:55Another runner gets hit with the ball right there.
35:58That's the third hit by hit while running for the Yankees.
36:13And that's a tough play to feel the throw and get back to first, especially if you're not.
36:35Super familiar, your 12th start, but Schmidt's been incredible.
36:38He started as a third baseman.
36:39He can play short.
36:40Got really good at second last year from the Giants.
36:42So, he's a grind.
36:44No balls inside.
36:48Counts the ball and a strike on Jose Caballero, who has a run scored and an RBI single on his
36:53line tonight.
36:54Seven runs on nine hits against Logan Webb.
37:05A blooper that's going to be handed by Arise.
37:10Hey, reminders, score big on authentic gear at MLBshop.com.

37:21The Yankees doing something against Webb tonight that didn't happen through the entire 2025 season.
37:28And that's get to him for seven runs.
37:37So, with two gone now, here's Ryan McMahon, who has been a contributor.
37:41He has singled in two runs and walked.
37:44And it is opening night.
37:46And it's something that you didn't see all of last season.
37:49So, pretty uncharacteristic.
37:52Logan Webb is one of the most consistent, dependable pitchers in all of baseball in the last three years.
37:58This is opening day.
37:59You know, this is one of those things.
38:00This is opening day.
38:02He's going to win.
38:03It's going to be tough on him, but he's...
38:05He always bounces back.
38:10Ball in his track on McMahon.
38:14Keaton went up in the bullpen for San Francisco.
38:18And it feels like this could be the end of it for Logan tonight.
38:22If he can finish off the fifth inning.
38:29Jazz will be a jump.
38:31There he goes.
38:31Bailey's throw down.
38:32He's going to center field.
38:36Guy that wants to go 50-50 this year has his first stolen base of 2026.
38:45Well, it starts with one.
38:46I'm going to say, I can't get the 50-year-old.
38:48If you don't get the first at some aggressive right there.
38:50And obviously a 7-0 ball game, but still only the fifth inning.
38:55And he's got that athleticism.
38:58Well, he's on a pace for 162.
39:072-2 to McMahon.
39:09Not to mention, a stolen base on Patrick Bailey's watch is something to put in your cap.
39:14This is one of the best catch-and-throw guys in not just the National League, but in all the
39:19baseball.
39:20Yeah, and I mean, most of the time when you're going to jump like that, you know, I'm not going
39:24to blame it on Bailey.
39:25I'm not going to blame it on you.
39:26This is what most of the time is on the pitching.
39:28Got a good little half step right into the good rhythm.
39:32That's it.
39:32That's it.
39:33That's it.
39:34On the field, the bad swing, the bad, that puts it into a two-run inning.
39:38More damage for the Yankees.
39:40Middle of the night.
39:41New York leads 7-0.
39:43New York leads 8-9 to top of the order for the Giants as they start there.
