Observations from Yankees’ spring training on Friday.
Looking Golden
In his spring debut, Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles and a lineout.
The 38-year-old first baseman had exit velocities of 108.3, 107.5 and 97.9 mph, an encouraging early sign.
What’s that smell?
There was a sewage problem outside of George M. Steinbrenner Field, which seeped into the bathroom inside the Yankees clubhouse and surrounding areas.
A brutal stench emanated from the clubhouse throughout the afternoon. “It’s spring training for the toilets, too,” a Yankees spokesman said.
Added Aaron Boone: “It’s not great. And it’s all over the place. Hopefully they get it cleaned up here overnight and back in business [Sunday].”
Caught my eye
Ryan McMahon, showing off his narrower stance, went the other way in his first two at-bats, one a double into the left field corner and the other a flyout.
Sunday’s schedule
Luis Gil will make his first start of the spring against the Mets at Steinbrenner Field.
