Red Sox's Roman Anthony Sends Reassuring Message Amid Team's Early Struggles originally appeared on NESN . Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Boston Red Sox are 1-5 through six games, and it is certainly not the start that many fans envisioned after a busy offseason.
However, luckily for the Red Sox, the season does not end after six games. The Red Sox still have 156 games remaining to turn things around. Roman Anthony, and really the offense as a whole, have struggled so far, but Anthony is not too worried.
He knows there's a sense of urgency to get going, but understands that panicking will not help. “A week or two ago, I feel like I was the hottest hitter on Earth," Anthony said, per The Boston Globe's Alex Speier on Thursday. "It’s just a weird game.
It’s a funny game,” he said. “I think the biggest thing is just understanding that regardless of what happened yesterday or the last few games, not only my at-bats, but the games as well, I think the last thing you can do is panic. “We have so much baseball, so many games to play, and it’s just a little tough patch of hitting, tough patch of games that we’ve had as a whole.
But for me, it’s just understanding, ‘Hey, we’re five games in. There’s so much baseball left. ’" After Anthony's performance at the World Baseball Classic, fans were not wrong to expect him to dominate from the onset of the season.
