The Red Sox are near the bottom of the league in runs scored. Coming into the season, the offense had high expectations, but things have not clicked yet. After an 8-6 loss to the San Diego Padres on Sunday, Anthony was very critical of how the team has played so far.

โ€œWe simply just need to be betterโ€ฆ," Anthony told reporters after the game. "It's just a tough stretch, and we need to find a way to just bring more energy and just be better. This is unacceptable.

It's unacceptable to the fans. It's unacceptable to the standard that we set for ourselves. โ€ Tough stretch might be an understatement, but Anthony seems to know that the Red Sox can turn the corner at any given moment.
