Castro to start Wed!

[Rene88]

Per Roch, etc. Good stuff. Big Castro fan, wish him the best!

Sounds fine to me.  There are other options as well, but as long as the starter is Not Chris Tillman, I'm good.

[Legend_Of_Joey]

I think the weather is the main reason, but good for him!

[Frobby]

Good decision.   Using Hess again on three days’ rest was not a good option, and I’m not ready to see Melville taking up a 40-man roster spot.

Definitely suppose to rain. But I wish Castro well if he gets a start. 

[Aristotelian]

Works for me. Will they bring up another bullpen arm?

[Moose Milligan]

Great news.  Hopefully Castro can make the jump to being a starter.

Depends if they even have to use Castro Wednesday.

I am still not sure why they had to have another starter for Wednesday.  Gausman was on normal rest and he has been pitching great right now.  They could of let Gausman pitch Wednesday on normal rest then started Hess on normal rest Thursday then gave him an extra day the next time through.

This is good news.  I never got why they were so intent on giving guys like Wright and Tillman shot after shot after shot and not give Castro a chance.

Maybe they just feel that Gausman has logged a lot of innings lately and an extra day would keep him fresh.

If its going to rain Wednesday then why waste a possible start for Gausman or have him pitch a few innings then the game gets called.

Maybe Buck wants Gausman in Fenway to get his better pitcher in a more important game against a stronger opponent.

More important game?

I don't think any games are more important at this point.
