Meh. Think of it as a rain out without the hassle. I remember telling my wife that MLB teams always play on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays--and sometimes on Mondays and Thursdays. But of course every "rule" is made to be broken.
Been watching some Padres with X and Donny O out there….except last night was on Apple. I really don’t care for Spilborghs and he was the color guy last night. Apple has cleaned up the broadcast a bit it seems but still a decided work in progress. Did seem weird having no Sox yday.
Sending Crawford down keeps him in a starting role at AAA, but if he does well in his next start, I'd consider moving Houck to the pen, instead and sending Kelly or Ort to AAA.
The tougher choice may be when Bello becomes ready. I doubt they keep him in AAA, and hopefully it is they they move Houck to the pen, leaving this 13 man staff until Paxton and or Joely are ready:
Rotation: Sale, Whitlock, Kluber, Bello, Pivetta
Pen: Jansen, Martin, Schreiber, Houck, Bleier, Winckowski, Brasier and one from Kelly, Ort or maybe Crawford.
Paxton and Joely would force all of Ort, Kelly and Crawford to the minors.

When exactly do you mean?
It was to allow for a rain-out on opening day, no?
"Fans have become more entitled than anything. So they're starting to question our motives for the game, or how we approach the game. The ones that do question -- like who are you? Just shut up and watch the game tonight." --Kevin Durant on players' lack of effort in regular season games.
Paxton is making strides. The other day he reportedly took one off the rubber, and Cora said, "We know where he's at" (his back foot landed over the hole at the front of the mound).
After regular rest, the plan is for Paxton to ramp back up, when the Sox will have him climb the ramp on one of those artificial indoor mounds. No more baby steps... but manly strides.
Big start for Houck.
Here is the lineup:
(No Casas or McGuire)
1. Refsnyder LF
2. Devers 3B
3. Turner 1B
4. Yoshida DH
5. Duvall CF
6. Verdugo RF
7. Arroyo 2B
8. Kike SS
9. Wong C

Lefty starter for Detroit.
Yassir. Confuses some of us every year.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
Yup. Always get some vacancies in the scheduling when home teams that have winter and potentially cold springs start the season at home.
Yes I’d like to see Houck in the pen too, but that said I’d really like to see one or two of these starters who are on the bubble make Cora’s job tough.
Tampa may want to win a WS soon. They can't afford to wait 86 years; Florida will be completely underwater long before that.
It’s the only way to take down big sugar.
Looking for a road win today with good outing for Tanner. get to .500 and work up from there.
Slutter is not a thing. It’s a sweeper.
