Red Sox (Bello) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 7/19/25, 7:15pm

I’m sure Connor Wong will come through here! 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Blind squirrel rule does not apply to Wong.

[illinoisredsox]

Well, if nothing else, they got out of Wong leading off next inning

[FredLynn]

Wong should be DFA’d. Give someone else a chance-anyone. 

[Jasonbay44]

I think some posters on here could put up better AB’s than Wong

I’m hard pressed to think of a ball he’s even hit hard this year.

Good point.

I don’t know what happened to Wong. He was decent a while ago. Now he’s useless 

[vegasbob]

So glad Wong maintains his RBI total at 1 and extends his 0 for the season with RISP's.  

This L/R matchup BS puts a weak lineup on the field.    

[FredLynn]

Leadoff walk. Here comes the hammer!

[FredLynn]

It’s Crochet and a prayer this year. 
But just wait till next year-right?

Or the year after….or the year after that…..or whenever 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Won't get fooled again? 4th season in a row.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me 

Fool me 4 times, I need a lobotomy.

[FredLynn]

3-0

One more and I’m outta here

[Tedballgame]

Connor Wong is horrible. He couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat. What a rally killer.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Could have been worse.

They’ll finish at or around .500

Again

Imanaga got a break on the 3-1 pitch to Bregman and took advantage of it.

Romy’s AB was the killer.

Ump's gift strike totally changed the inning.

[vegasbob]

Refsnyder can't throw out a guy tagging from medium left in a small ballpark?      This team has too many OF'ers ?     Well, he did get a leadoff double , but it was Bello's leadoff walk that scored.  

The difference in two teams.

Numbers don't lie, but in the case of the Sox offensive numbers, they can be misleading.

Poor call but Bregman did advance the runner . it was Gonzalez's inability to hit the F'ing ball that sunk them.

[Tedballgame]

Red Sox are  playing like they are on a 10 game losing streak.

[FredLynn]

It would have been nice to be able to at least watch a competitive game

Although to be fair, I thought Bregman got a break on the 2-1 pitch.

I do think Imanaga is getting some calls that Bello isn’t, but that tends to happen when you throw the ball near the plate most of the time.

Not exactly Groundhog Day; more like Groundhog Seasons.

Romy G. is clueless today.  Nice wave G

[FredLynn]

The disgusting FLOPS continue to swing at balls a foot outside the zone

Hey, I got a standing ovation by the entire crowd when I came out of one several years ago.

(I remain convinced that it had nothing to do with Andre Dawson’s 3rd homer of the game).

Sadly, a few of the Sox players are sinking back to reality.
