They gotta take Boohler out of the rotation. 

Could have been a lot worse with those 5 BB's, 4 hits, and the dinger.  

He had horrible control, but did not put the Dodgers out of reach.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is this the same Wilson that was in that Tom Hanks' movie?

He was lucky. He had one good outing after a lot of awful ones. You can’t run him out there every fifth game if you want to maximize your chances to make the playoffs 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Best training staff because they get the most practice.

[FredLynn]

Duran Ks on a ball at eye level. What is it with these bums? No plate discipline at all.

[illinoisredsox]

Chapman not looking good today.  Velocity down, lots of splitters.

[Larry Cook]

Anthony is amazing 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Chapman's out for a significant amount of time, the Sox will be on life support.

He’s been used a lot lately. Let’s just hope this is some version of arm fatigue and not an a more serious overuse injury. Clearly Chapman didn’t feel he could really let it go and Cora has run this guy out a lot 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hicks has been good under pressure, I wish 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Game over.

[FredLynn]

Out

Damn, I thought that was the 9th.

[illinoisredsox]

Not exactly the 6-4-3 DP we ordered but okay.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I noticed that Hicks just exudes confidence from the mound.

Playing for Boston and New York is different than other places. Just ask Carl Crawford.

[FredLynn]

I’d be bringing Whitlock out there

Some guys can’t handle the bright lights, some guys need and relish them.  Would a guy like Ortiz have done what he did had he remained in Minnesota?  Or moved on to KC?

[FredLynn]

Hicks isn’t the right guy for the 9th

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hicks better adapt. He's the new closer for awhile. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't remember ordering drama .

[FredLynn]

Hicks walks the tying run 

[Nick]

NESN guy says keep an eye on the Texas game....hey bud, Texas is up 8-1 over Atlanta in the bottom of 8th. Quit saying stupid things. That's two nights in a row.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Narvaez is a throwing machine.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Game over.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In this 9 game gauntlet the Sox finish 4-5.

Ya know what they say, "What don't kill ya makes you stronger."

Hicks Clicks Volume 1 Boston 7/27/25

I’m guessing he and Whitlock will split the duties at least for a few days.   They are going to be careful with Chapman.  Fortunately or unfortunately, any talk of dealing him is now done.

Better get used to Hicks. He is our closer for next two years. We ain't paying him $12M to pitch the fifth inning.
