I was at the game at the stadium at Talking Stick today. Beautiful facilities which I believe are shared by both the Diamondbacks and the Rockies.

Giants pretty much scored at will, although both Yaz and Encarnacion K’d looking, ending potentially big innings with 2 runners on.

Kyle Harrison started for SF, faced 7 batters, got one out (a sac fly) and allowed 5 runs. That did wonders for his ERA.  The last 2 hits, a 456-ft 3-run dinger and a laser triple right in front of the wall in right center, were outright violent.

One of the SF relievers looked really sharp. I think his name was Harris and he wore uniform #74. Giants had a lot of guys with um, unconventional uniform numbers.

Lots of Giants fans in the house. Tix seemed pricey — but our $52 seats were good value compared to the $116 seats just 6-7 rows in front of us.

Bob Melvin told reporters to take a good look at the starting lineup...implying that this may be the starting lineup and batting order when the season opens:

LaMonte Wade, 1B
Adames, SS
Lee, CF
Chapman, 3B
Ramos, LF
Bailey, C
Flores, DH
Yaz, RF
Fitzgerald, 2B (and it's hilarious that last year's Giants OPS leader is batting 9th).

Yeah, quite a bit different than the starting lineup we saw on Thursday -- only Adames, Chapman, Yaz IIRC.  Of course it's time to see the youngsters and it's still relatively early.  Chapman fouled a ball hard off his leg and was down for almost 5 minutes.  He got back in the box and walked on the next pitch, then they put a PR in for him. Schmitt made some nice plays at 2B and also tagged one deep.
