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

[FredLynn]

Might as well be 30-0. We won’t score today 

[Jasonbay44]

Imanaga is very tough. There has been almost no hard contact all game

Either that or the Flops aren’t very good

I mean he’s been one of best pitchers in baseball during his first two seasons…

He’s throwing 90 mph fastballs!

Good teams beat that up. This team is sleepwalking.

I guess no team is good, because no team really hits him well. He has a career 2.83 ERA… 

[Jasonbay44]

Bello grinded today. 6 innings, 3 runs is winnable performance. Offense letting him down today.

We haven’t even scored a single run. With that ERA we should on average have scored a couple by now.

This loss isn’t on Bello. He righted the ship after the 1st. 

[Jasonbay44]

Apparently Yoshida and Toro are only guys who can hit him

[vegasbob]

F Pop Wong . Never again come up with runners on or even show up in the clubhouse.

[FredLynn]

Why the hell didn’t Cora the bum PH for the stiff Connor Wong??

[Jasonbay44]

Why are we letting Wong hit?

[Tedballgame]

Wong doesn't do it again. I can't believe that our genius manager did not pinch hit for him there with any warm body!!!!! Managing malpractice. Wong has no chance of getting a hit. Game was winnable with a hit there.

[mvp 78]

I heard we don’t need an upgrade for Wong?

[Jasonbay44]

Wong is horrendous. Letting him hit there was very questionable.

We need a Opener....too many of our starters struggle in the 1st inning.

Not questionable. It was managing malpractice. Its like Cora was in the crapper and couldn't make the decision.

[vegasbob]

Agree with all about PH'ing for Wong. Inexcusable to let him hit.  I know the bench is LH'ed, except for the other catcher, Narvaez.  He is no sure thing but better than Wong who is a SURE THING---OUT

But, but, but, he works HARD. I mean really HARD, Mr. Wong that is....

[iortiz]

Cora’s stupidity in effect. 

[Tedballgame]

Bullpen puts the game out of reach.

It was out of reach after the first pitch.

This team totally SUCKS 

 

Enjoy this  loss.
Outta here

I knew you weren't talking about Corable.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora just wants his players to love him. That's why he never holds his players accountable when they screw up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The only everyday players I don't want traded are Bregman, Narvaez, Rafaela, Mayer and Anthony. 

[Tedballgame]

Red Sox thinking about getting done in a hurry so they can get out to Rush Street.

[vegasbob]

Pitiful performance by all but Yoshi  through 8.  

[iortiz]

Nobody on base and Cora finally decided to PH everybody. His stupidity is beyond me.
