SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Bruce Bochy sat down in the dugout, looked around at beat reporters in front of him, and smiled.
“It’s great to see you guys,” he said.
Bochy may feel differently in a month, or three, or by September. We will wear him down. But on Day 1, there’s no taking the bounce out of a manger’s step. The first day of the spring always brings hope, no matter your situation, and the Giants got underway shortly after 10 a.m. Wednesday when Ty Blach hopped up the dugout steps and onto the field. The rest of the team soon followed.
