1 hour ago1 hr I would assume Grant was warming to get Hicks out of trouble if it came to that. I would guess looking forward now, they're going to pick whatever part of the lineup they want him to pitch to. Currently lined up to have the bottom of Texas's order for the 9th.

1 hour ago1 hr 5 minutes ago, Timmy U said:Why is Jordan Hicks not being used in leverage again?Wasn't that leverage? Quero and Mune tried to make it leverage.

1 hour ago1 hr 5 minutes ago, Timmy U said:Why is Jordan Hicks not being used in leverage again?He was struggling early on, he couldn't be trusted. But since he came back and made a change in his delivery he has been lights out. The guy has always had great stuff he just hadn't been able to control and locate.
1 hour ago1 hr Ahlstrom has good stuff but hasn't had much success this season, despite how Wagner-esque he looked this inning.

1 hour ago1 hr Sox have a lot of guys slumping at the plate right now. Have to find a way to win games like this because they will break out here soon.
1 hour ago1 hr Mune doesn’t look like the same player só far.speaks to how difficult it is to miss a significant amount of time in the middle of the season without adverse consequences upon returnHeading for a 3ish fWAR when he was off to such a historic startVargas and Peters and Colson have been more valuable from an fWAR standpoint, but that’s a counting statJust hard to go all in when Colson and Mune are só far off
