  1. I will never understand why they continue to play Hicks. What’s that famous quote…? “When someone shows you who they are, believe them and the prior three years’ worth of terrible stats.”

  2. If there is a runner on first and less than 2 outs, can Boone just forfeit Aaron Hicks at bat to avoid a double play?
