I don’t get it
Thanks for the summary Giants
Opening Day delayed again
10-15 doubleheader’s but only 13 pitchers ?
With the extension of the season by three days, the Giants who had seven games postponed by the lockout, with only have to make-up four games during the season either by a doubleheader or playing on a currently scheduled off day. I foresee the Milwaukee series being played during the three day extension and the four games v. San Diego being played via doubleheaders and off days prior to the currently scheduled two series in SD.
In other words, the number of doubleheaders will be limited to a handful for SF.
Given the revenue that is lost by playing a doubleheader, I suspect ownership will do everything in their power to limit the number of DH’s played throughout baseball.
They can always do day/night splits and sell separate tix…. As for 13 pitchers, the last couple years teams have been able to add a 27th player for doubleheaders. Not sure if there is anything in CBA to address that. I suspect there is not, but teams will still get to add one.

I know it’s 22 women. But the timing was always suspect. When there is this much smoke, there is usually fire. Still, if you believe in the presumption of innocence then……
And don’t kid yourself about “progressive” cities and football. Niners we’re happy to give Aldon Smith chance after chance. And the Raiders….. Fans are fans. If the player is elite on the field, not much else matters. Put another way, if Kaepernick was Mahomes, he’d be playing in a red or blue city/state.
