-75 YEARS AGO TODAY 

-THE 42 WILL BE IN BLUE ON A GIANTS UNIFORM 

BLUE 42??

	cole kuiper ⁦‪@cmkuiper‬⁩ I've seen a minor bit of grumbling from #SFGiants fans, but I think the blue 42 on the back is an awesome touch. Jackie Robinson is much bigger than our silly rivalry. pic.twitter.com/ODogtUuOWZ   4/15/22, 8:40 AM

NOT IDEAL -

What are your thoughts on the game only being on a streaming service? pic.twitter.com/3LgUjHi88n 4/15/22, 7:25 AM 

GIANTS: 

-WE NEVER DISCUSSED THE ORANGE HELMETS WITH THE CITY CONNECT….

-ROAD TRIP…..

I LIKE BUNTS V SHIFT 

	Alex Pavlovic ⁦‪@PavlovicNBCS‬⁩ "We've seen a lot of those adjustments already." The Giants have three bunt singles in six games. It's something they plan to keep doing: bit.ly/3viXHg5   4/15/22, 8:37 AM

THE PLAYOFFS: 

PLAY IN: 

HAWKS @ CAVS 

PELS @ CLIPPERS 

HEARD THIS BEFORE—

Sources: 2x Finals MVP, Kawhi Leonard is unlikely to play in the NBA Playoffs. Kawhi’s camp and the Clippers’ brass are in disagreement as to Leonard’s availability for the playoffs. This has led to growing frustration from both sides.

If Kyler Murray holds out, it would quickly get very expensive. He'd lose a $4.524 million roster bonus if he's not with the team on the third day of training camp. wp.me/pbBqYq-cfAi 4/14/22, 4:25 PM
