Kurtenbach: SF Giants baseball is torture again. Bring it on

SAN FRANCISCO — You can’t say Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski doesn’t know his squad.

Before the Giants’ home opener on Friday, I asked him to define what 2025 Giants baseball is.

“Hard-nosed baseball,” Yaztremski said. “We play until the very end. You can see it in this clubhouse where every guy cares about winning more than they care about themselves.”

And so long as we do that, the results will speak for themselves.”

It was the kind of comment that challenged me not to roll my eyes.
