It is Thursday, March 26, 2026. This is a real opening day edition of baseball today.

That is my man, Trevor Plupe. I am Chris Rose, producer Dan along for the ride as well.

And yes, we have a game already in the books. But because so many more teams are playing on Thursday,

this is really the opening day, right? I don't agree with that. I mean, there was a baseball

game today. Baseball season is open. People like to make your argument, but it's just not true.

We already opened the season. This is opening day happened. All right. So here we're going to

break down what happened Wednesday by the Bay. We're going to preview all of the games that

are happening on Thursday. We're going to be talking about all of the teams. We cannot wait. So it is time for our weekly

SOFi spotlight of the week. And yes, it features the New York Yankees and the San Francisco

Giants. We thought we were going to get a great pitching matchup between Max Fried and Logan Webb.

And it was very one-sided.

...and third and a 7-0 deficit, and on the first pitch, a high drive for Aaron Judge,

that will put a close to business on opening night.

A statement win for the New York Yankees.

A 7-0 shutout on the road is how they open their 2026 campaign.

That's right, Matt Vascusan. It's the first time the Yankees opened the season with a road

shutout since 1967. Correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't you say that Max Fried was going to be

the AL-Sying award winner?

I said he had a chance.

I mean, he's consistent as consistent is.

And he showed it again tonight, just kind of, you know, mixing his pitches like he does, throwing strikes.

I believe at one point he retired like eight or nine in a row.
