The Boston Red Sox have announced that Garrett Crochet will be the starting pitcher for Opening Day against the Texas Rangers, marking a significant moment for the team. This decision came despite speculation that Tanner Houck, a standout homegrown talent and All-Star, might receive the nod. The team's lineup will feature changes, with Wilyer Abreu and Rafael Devers taking the day off, allowing Roman Anthony to step in at right field. Fans can catch the game against the Minnesota Twins on NESN, perfectly paired with traditional corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day.
This afternoon, he'll take on the crosstown Minnesota Twins with a strong lineup behind him: Wilyer Abreu and Rafael Devers both have the day off after making their debuts yesterday, with Roman Anthony filling in for Abreu in right field.
I suppose there was a small chance that Tanner Houck would get the Opening Day nod in recognition of an All-Star season by a homegrown pitcher.
But yesterday the Red Sox announced that it will be Garrett Crochet toeing the rubber against the Texas Rangers for the first game of the season next week.
If you're doing the whole corned beef and cabbage thing today, it's hard to beat the sensory combination of slow cooking beef with the Sox on the background.
