Red Sox (Giolito) vs Cubs (Rea): 7/18/25, 2:20pm

[Tedballgame]

Too bad there are two outs.

[Tedballgame]

Roman comes through!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

Giolito:  3 up, 3 down in the 2d with 2 K's.  He needed 30 pitches in the 1st, 10 in the 2d.

Bregman opposite field single--good at bat.  Duran to 3d of course.  Walking him was stupid.  

 

[Tedballgame]

Now for a dinger!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Anthony has a beautiful swing.

[mvp 78]

Should have been on the Opening Day roster. 

[Maxbialystock]

Huge hit by Anthony.  He keeps doing that.  

[Tedballgame]

Navarez just missed tying the game and then k's:(

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Shutdown inning would be nice.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Suzuki is a mean motor scooter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great catch by Duran. Nothing fragile about that guy.

Probably, but ahead of him were Duran, Rafaela, and Abreu.  

Great, gutsy grab by Duran!!!

Those guys are still on the roster though?

He was great in May but has slid backwards since--.961 to .780 in June to .701 in July.  

In this lineup he has no business batting 4th

Abreu failed miserably batting clean up. Who would you have batting 4th?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Lester the molester.

No argument there, although he normally puts a bat on the ball.

He is opening a grocery store called, "Traitor Jon's".

Cleanup in 2025 is cursed.

Loved watching him throw the baseball to 1st. Or should I say try to throw the baseball to 1st.

Abreu seems to be a slugger not a hitter.  Maybe a #7 slot is more appropriate, until he gets traded

Abreu needs to lose that launch angle crap.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Die A Rea.

Might be the worst baserunning play of the year and that's saying something.

 

[vegasbob]

Terrible , idiotic read by Toro.  Worcester beckons, ABE

That was a rally killer

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bad baserunning had to enter the picture.
