Game Thread: 4.27 Series win with Hicks?? 1:05pm

[tzill]

1. M Yastrzemski (L) RF
2. W Adames (R) SS
3. J Lee (L) CF
4. M Chapman (R) 3B
5. W Flores (R) DH
6. H Ramos (R) LF
7. L Wade Jr. (L) 1B
8. P Bailey (S) C
9. C Koss (R) 2B

Jordan Hicks
RHP
1-3, 6.59 ERA, 24 SO

I noticed this today:

Kevin Gausman
RHP
2-2, 3.13 ERA, 27 SO

If we had retained Gaus, would that have precluded Adames and/or Chap? IIRC, he wanted to re-sign with us...

I was OK with letting Gaus walk at the time. He didn’t have the track record to indicate his performance with us was sustainable, and while by all reports he wanted to stay, he still wanted serious (but probably fair) money. I didn’t see him as a good risk.

Time has ruled that I was wrong. But given the info I had at the time, I was ok with him walking. And 20/20ing myself now doesn’t do any good, imho.

Of course we make fun of Joc (rightly so) and he gets a hit and scores a run!

 

[msgkings322]

Man Hicks is running out of runway to get his shit together

 

[SF11704]

Another rocky start for Hicks. 2 runs and 4 hits. 3 of those hits came with 2 strikes on the batter.

 

[msgkings322]

oK Flores here's your chance

DO NOT SWING until he throws a strike. He just walked the bases loaded, let him keep being wild

 

[msgkings322]

OK glad he took all the way now you can swing if it makes sense

 

[msgkings322]

Good lord Flores is like Posey running in molasses

 

[msgkings322]

I'd be just fine with a sac fly

 

[msgkings322]

A walk even better!

 

[msgkings322]

OK Ramos, same rule, do not swing until the wild pitcher throws a strike

 

[msgkings322]

Yeesh gotta protect there....but that was a nasty pitch

 

[msgkings322]

Be nice to see Wade get a walk here which he is good at

Man, JUST missed a salami there though

 

[msgkings322]

Fuck JUST missed a double there, Wade is snakebit

 

[msgkings322]

That AB is Wade's season summarized. Barely misses a grand slam, barely misses a double, then scalds a low liner right at the 2nd baseman

 

[msgkings322]

Nice play by Lee but that runner was so dumb, out by 10 feet

Hicks has settled down so far nicely

 

[msgkings322]

Bailey gets a home run swing taken away by the park

 

[msgkings322]

There we go Koss!

 

[msgkings322]

I'd be cool with another 3-2 win

 

[msgkings322]

Wade unlucky again
