MLB. com released an article on Thursday that identified the biggest takeaway for each team after the regular season's first week. When it came to the Boston Red Sox , Ian Browne decided to talk about second-year star Roman Anthony.
"Roman Anthony is human," Browne wrote . "Considering that Anthony is all of 21 years old, the amount of expectations that have been put on him to carry the Red Sox in a post -Rafael Devers and post-Alex Bregman world has been a little much. " "It does speak to Anthony’s immense talent and poise," Browne continued.
"However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some lumps still to be taken. After getting three hits and reaching base four times on Opening Day, Anthony went 1-for-18 in his next four games. However, Anthony did go home on a positive note with a pinch-hit homer in the ninth in Wednesday’s loss in Houston.
