What was the outcome of the Yankees vs. Giants Opening Day game?

It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the built-for-tough studio, Boomer Esiason, Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fan side. We'll cast across the country on CBS Sports Network and wherever you are in the free Odyssey app. Good Thursday morning. Baseball underway and under an amazing way with... I gotta move this. I mean, every night's a hockey night. Not anymore for the Ranger fan, for crying out loud. Why was that? Why was that even there? I don't have no idea. But anyway... It started off in a great way for the New York Yankees. A shutout victory. 7-0 cruising along. No problems. Freed great. Offense relentless without home runs. Bullpen comes in. No blips on the radar at all.

So a really, really good start for the Yankees outside of Aaron Judge. But you don't really need to worry about him because you know he's going to be totally fine. So yeah, I felt like this is it, man. We are right back in it. We got Yankee fans fired up about their team again. We got everybody complaining about the broadcast. And Boomer put his Yankee sweatshirt on again today. Good morning, Boomer. How are you? Number one, it's not a Yankee sweatshirt. It's a J. Crews sweatshirt, so I don't want to hear about it, all right? And I don't lay out my clothes the night before. I just pick, you know, something out of the dark and throw it on.
Boomer Esiason 1:20
This was just a total coincidence.
Unknown 1:22
100% coincidence. And by the way, the first thing I thought about last night, honestly, was thank God Trent Grisham picked up his option. Really? That's the first thing I thought. I mean, because everybody's screaming and yelling about that for the last six months. Yeah, they're not happy about it. $22 million? Yeah, but he came through last night. It's one of 162 for sure. You know, I think you said it. I mean, Max Fried's the story, honestly, because, you know, he was just absolutely amazing and great. And that, I mean, if you were a player and you were the opening day starting pitcher, you couldn't ask for a better outing. And that's something that, you know, every team hopes for and wishes for. And unfortunately for Webb of the Giants, it's the other way around.
Unknown 2:07
But, you know, look. All I can say is that it's a great start, and that's all it is. It's a start. So here we go. Yep, that's right. And you said that you couldn't ask for anything more from Max Freed. You probably couldn't ask anything worse from Logan Webb. But from the Yankee fan perspective, who cares? And all the things that you want to see and the things that we hear about, not like everything is cured at one baseball game. We know that is not the case. But... This is the way you want to see them win. You want to see the dominant starting pitching. You want to see them be able to score runs without the home run. And it's great when Aaron Judge has four strikeouts and he's 0-5 that the Yankees still find a way to score seven runs.
Unknown 2:48
And there's just no sweat at all in a victory. But I was just thinking at the bottom of the lineup starting, you know, when you get the Jazz Chisholm in the lineup and then you look down and you look at all the guys that actually came through here, It was good. Everybody had a hit in the game with the exception of Aaron Judge. So, as you said, I'm not worried about that. But, you know, you think about Stanton had two hits. And then, of course, the Bulls had two hits. Maybe his elbows are feeling pretty good. They have to be. What do you think? They have to be with that exit velo. 114 miles an hour on one of those line drives. Don't do that. No, I'm just saying. That's what they were talking about.
Boomer Esiason 3:25
They were talking about it last night.
Unknown 3:26
They were really impressed with it. I was more like being facetious with the broadcast last night because they were all over that. They were basically a big tongue bath with the 114 mile an hour line drive. Well, that is baseball parlance these days. Yes, it is. It certainly is. So... You know, again, I don't want to overreact to anything. All I just want to say is that it was enjoyable to have real baseball back finally, you know, other than the WBC, which was great.
