Not because he didn’t want her here but there was something more pressing. Her daughter and Hicks’ sister, Avery, was about to deliver a baby — which would be Jennifer’s third grandchild — and Hicks said, “You have to be there for the kid. You’ve seen me pitch in the big leagues. You don’t have to be here for this specific game. “I said, ‘Mom, this kid is bigger than baseball.’” Hicks’ father also had planned on coming to St. Louis. But the 25-year-old Houstonian will be in the bullpen Tuesday night backing up Dakota Hudson, whose scheduled start Monday against Pittsburgh was rolled over into an outing Tuesday against Kansas City because of Monday’s rainout at Busch Stadium. Manager Oliver Marmol talked to Hicks after the rainout and told him about the adjustment in plans and that Hicks still will be starting, now on Saturday in Milwaukee. Adam Wainwright, whose career record against Milwaukee is a rousing 20-12 with a 2.60 earned-run average, is not pitching against the Brewers. “I’d love to have ‘Waino’ throw Game 1 there (on Thursday),” said Marmol, “but having a full, healthy (bull)pen going into that four-game set also made sense.” [/QUOTE]
