Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Josh Winckowski took a shot at Wrigley Field following the team’s loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday night.

I didn’t really feel anything, to be honest. It kind of just felt like another ballpark," he said, via Mass Live.

Cubs manager David Ross had the luxury of playing for Chicago and Boston during his career.

He pushed back on Winckowski’s Wrigley remarks.

The former catcher who won World Series titles with both teams said his experience was "pretty amazing."

"I’ve been part of a World Series in both. [Saturday] night at Wrigley felt pretty awesome.
