There's not going to be a honeymoon period for Gabe Kapler, that much was clear on the day he was introduced as Giants manager.
Every move Kapler makes will be scrutinized, and as he works his way through pitching changes and pinch-hit decisions, he'll do so while becoming familiar with a new set of rules.
MLB sent a memo to clubs last week summarizing changes for 2020, but teams have long known the outline, and the Giants have kept the new rules in mind as they've worked to rebuild their roster. While Kapler deals with the new rules on a daily basis for nine innings, Farhan Zaidi and Scott Harris will do the same as the contemplate roster moves.
