Rescheduled games

Not sure if I missed this elsewhere, but they are playing the Giants on 4/25 (1 game homestand) and a double-header on 9/8.  Then the AZ games get tacked onto the end of the season.

That double header gives them 18 games in 17 days.

25 april is a monday, and the game is at 5:10 pm cdt. the brewers will have played a night game the day prior in philadelphia, and then after the conclusion of the game vs. the giants, have to play a night game in pittsburgh.

the giants will have played a day game in washington the day prior, so they will be arriving in milwaukee a bit earlier on sunday.

these aren't horrible logistics.

and bear in mind that rosters will have expanded to 28 by the time the september doubleheader comes around (with a 29th man likely for 8 september).

I don't think it's a big deal, really.  It seems that just about every team has been affected in similar fashion.  I think I even read that Counsell said something along the lines of, "We'll suck it up."

Not sure how the double header will work, but I would think 5 games in Sep/Oct would draw better than April, outside of the home opener.

Usually there are significant declines once school start back up again during the week in September. However, don't see too many doubleheaders anymore that require only one admission so am thinking that might have decent attendance.

The travel back from Pennsylvania for the April game isn't terrible for them. The stretch in September could be more worrisome depending on the standings at that time, but they'll be okay.

I'd like to attend that doubleheader, but it's on the second day of UW-Madison classes, so that is a no go for me.
