My kid brothers, who were vendors back in the day (lots of school age kids selling in the stands back then) remember double headers on Patriots Days. I guess Keeping the game on the weekend instead of returning to the old tradition is a logical choice for ticket holders. Back then they had to carry huge metal backpacks of “bug juice” (koolaid) and use a spigot to serve it into paper cups. Kids couldn’t sell beer.
Edit: my kid brothers are in their 70’s, so that was during the Yaz years, though they were working the stands for Ted’s last AB.

Per the Globe, Keuchel is pitching Monday. They're giving Rodon an extra day of rest.
For the second game of the DH, ChiSox have three starting pitchers on option. Leading candidates would be Reynaldo Lopez, who was in their rotation the last three years, and #7 prospect Jonathan Stiever, who jumped from high-A in 2019 to two starts for them in September, where his velo was down from 94 ave. to 92 and he was hit hard. There's also #19 prospect Jimmy Lambert, who had AA experience and pitched 2 innings in relief for them last July after coming back from TJ, then had a forearm strain. He only pitched an inning in ST.

I noticed LA Dodgers used their $16 million reliever last night. David Price is quite a bullpen piece...... |

I know what these uniforms are supposed to be commemorating, but they're hideous - no doubt some ill-informed marketing scheme. A patch on the shoulder would've been more appropriate and less of an eyesore.

Then you would have 100 posts arguing the point. I am glad we are all too smart to think that a top 5 spending team for what like 10 years is being cheap. |

Pivetta — as much or more than Richards — concerns me. His command is not there, and he has been a bit lucky so far (small example: he’s got highest EV surrendered of his career this far).

I can't wait to use "Tony Larussa, behind the wheel, stalling traffic on the basepaths." At some point during the coming days. Oh, shit, there it goes...

Pivetta will be lucky to go 4 innings unless he can find the right side of the plate's black soon.
