Good morning, baseball fans!
Boy, do I have great news for you today. We are officially one week away from Opening Day 2026! That’s right, the San Francisco Giants will be playing meaningful baseball exactly one week from today!
So today, I wanted to check in with you all to see what you’re watching for from the team over the last few days of Spring Training games and exhibition play.
Personally, after the potentially devastating injury news facing Hayden Birdsong, I’m really just hoping everyone can
stay healthy and not get hurt before the season starts. Baseball injuries suck no matter when they happen, but there’s something that feels even more cruel about injuries happening before the season can even begin.
Of course I’ll also be keeping an eye on the roster, and the pitching depth, etc. But at this point, I’m mostly just hoping everyone stays healthy!
What will you be keeping an eye on over the last week of pre-season play?
