Observations from the 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 is that smell?
There was a sewer problem outside George M. Steinbrenner Field, which seeped into the bathroom in the Yankees clubhouse and surrounding areas.

A brutal stench rose from the clubhouse all afternoon. “It’s also spring training for the bathrooms,” a Yankees spokesman said.
Added Aaron Boone: “It’s not great. And it’s everywhere. Hopefully they can get this cleaned up overnight and get back to business.” [Sunday].”

Caught my attention
Ryan McMahon, showing off his slimmer 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 program
Luis Gil will make his first start of the spring against the Mets at Steinbrenner Field.
