It's always nice to win against the Dodgers, even if it is an exhibition game, and win they did by a big 10-2 score. Clayton Kershaw was great but the rest of the LA 'pen was meh, including newly-acquired Craig Kimbrel, and the Giants evened their Spring record to 7-7. Joey Bart was 3-for-3 with a homer. I hope I type that a lot this season.
The 2022 season kicks off for real on Thursday, April 7th, but the Giants play their first game the following day, Friday the 8th (1:30 PDT against the Marlins) in San Francisco. That's the first home game to open a season in a long time. There are two more exhibitions, both against the A's, on Monday and Tuesday.
Teams can carry 28 players (29 for doubleheaders) until May 1st. And there is no limit on the number of pitchers (normally capped at 13) in the same span. The 10-day IL is also in effect and changes to 15 days on May 2nd. The best and most complete look at the roster is probably Roster Resource. They say the lineup against RHP is Yaz, La Stella, BCraw, Belt, Ruf, Pederson, Flores, Duggar, and Bart. The bench is Casali, Dubon, Estrada, Vosler, and Slater.
The rotation looks like Logan Webb, Carlos Rodon, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, and Alex Cobb. The 'pen is McGee, Doval, Rogers, Leone, Garcia, Littell, Alvarez, Junis, and Beede. We'll see how it really shakes out in the next few days. Maybe there will be a surprise or two, but I think we have a pretty good picture.
I'll have another update soon.

Craig Kimbrel is annoying as hell. He's perfect for LA.
They let Jansen go after a really good season so I guess they had to get a replacement, but they also have Treinen!
