Logan Webb makes his second Opening Day start, Brandon Crawford makes his 12th and the Giants start a different left fielder for the 17th straight season.
NEW YORK — Beneath blue skies, with first-pitch temperature a few degrees above freezing, the San Francisco Giants open their season Thursday at Yankee Stadium. For as rare as their home season opener was in 2022, opening on the East Coast — on one of baseball’s grandest stages, no less — is as much of a novelty.
The last time the Giants started a season outside of the Pacific Time Zone was 2016 in Milwaukee. They’ve done it only twice since 2010. And, at .500 in their past 10 season openers, they would gladly take either result . Opening Day is special, no matter the setting. But in the Bronx, under the iconic white facade, with monuments to the greats behind the center field wall only adds to it. And we haven’t even mentioned Aaron Judge yet. Whoops.
“Opening Day for us is a big stage. This one is a bigger stage than I think people are even giving it credit for,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “Your heart beats faster. You sweat a little more. Your adrenaline is going. It’s a thing. It’s not BS. The lights come on, the pressure gets to be a little bit more.”
It will be Logan Webb, making his second Opening Day start, against Gerrit Cole, making his fourth for the Yankees.For now, here are three storylines to watch:For the 17th consecutive season, the Giants were expected to start a different left fielder on Opening Day. Until lineups are released, the likeliest candidate appeared to be Blake Sabol, the Rule 5 catcher forced back into the outfield because of injuries.
