Wicks gets a visit from the trainer and then leaves the game, apparently gesturing towards his hand. Maybe a blister?

Velo was there, control wasn't.

Have to imagine a seam rubbing on a blister at 100 mph is absolutely brutal

I realize it's just spring training but if the Sox are going to be better this year they must improve their record in one run games which was very poor last year.

So far this spring 0-5 in one run games.

 

If they're going to try to hold and win 1-run games, they should probably put their set-up guys and closer into the high-leverage situations instead of guys who will be throwing AAA innings for most of this season.

In the regular season they'll play their best guys in leverage instead of minor leaguers. Considering most teams are due for a random blowout or two by week 2 of ST, it actually feels weirdly positive that their losses are from prospects/NRIs coming a run short in late innings.
