Pre-game notes from the Rogers CentreTORONTO — A few items as the Red Sox get ready to play the Jays:* John Farrell is giving days off to David Ortiz and Shane Victorino for several reasons. The turf here is unforgiving and with the team off on Monday, it gives them two days in a row off. Victorino had played three days in a row after coming off the DL.* A,J. Pierzynski is 5 for 12 against R.A. Dickey and 5 of 10 in the last three games, so he will DH for the first time this season. Farrell also wanted to keep David Ross catching Jon Lester.* Farrell sounded like he wanted to stay away from Junichi Tazawa today. That the Jays own him has become an issue they need to figure out. Farrell doesn't believe that Tazawa is tipping his pitches. It's more a bad matchup for him. Tazawa, he said, needs to pitch inside better against the right-handed hitters in the Toronto lineup* Something to keep an eye on. Mike Napoli, who was off on Saturday, looked great in batting practice.Pete Abraham, Boston Globe... 4/27/2014 5:03:09 PM

Red Sox use the rules for their benefitThe Rays did not want to play a doubleheader on Thursday, to a point that acting player representative Ben Zobrist contacted the MLB Players Association to complain.But a clause in the collective bargaining agreement allowed the Red Sox the leeway to schedule a split doubleheader rather than seek alternatives such as mutual days off later in the season.On most occasions, a team can only schedule a split doubleheader when ticket sales for the game at the time of the postponement exceed the number of tickets available to be exchanged and both the postponed and regularly scheduled game occur in the last scheduled series at a particular park.But the Red Sox and Cubs have a long-grandfathered in right to reschedule any postponed game as a split doubleheader even if the usual criteria are not met.According to Red Sox chief operating officer Sam Kennedy, the clause is the product of Fenway Park and Wrigley Field having the smallest capacities in the majors combined with a high demand for tickets.“Rainouts, at times, can be tough to find a [makeup] date that’s beneficial to both [teams] if there is such a thing,” Sox manager John Farrell said. “We settled on today.”The teams have a mutual off day on Sept. 22, the day before the teams start a three-game series at Fenway. But the Red Sox, Farrell said, wanted to preserve that date.“The one thing that we can’t predict is what the future holds,” he said. “You [have] this date as an off day or a mutual off day late in September. We have a number of teams that come in here one time … so it provides some flexibility if weather hit us for a National League team that comes in here only once.“You take that away and now all of a sudden we’re looking at the potential of adding games at the end of the year if we get into a rain-out situation. You’re trying to factor in as many things as possible and flexibility in the schedule is one of them.”The Red Sox had competitive reasons as well. Their rotation is relatively stable while the Rays are dealing with injuries. Lefthander Cesar Ramos, who will start Game 1 for the rays, started the season as a reliever. The Red Sox also have a stronger and deeper bullpen.In theory, the Rays could be a stronger team in September than they are now. A rescheduled game could lead to the Red Sox facing David Price as opposed to a fill-in like Ramos.Pete Abraham, Boston Globe... 5/1/2014 4:02:52 PM
