Still, in a recent statement, he urged fans to stay patient, emphasizing that there\u2019s plenty of baseball left for things to turn around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of baseball left. And there\u2019s no reason to panic, so, um, again, we\u2019re excited to be back. We are excited to be home, play in front of the fans, but, um\u2026 you know, it can feel like the end of the world when you go on a road trip, and you only win one game, but in the end of the day, we got 150 plus, you know, more games to play, so everything\u2019s gonna be all right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Anthony\u2019s comments were shared on X by Marcos Grunfeld, who regularly covers the Red Sox. Boston\u2019s 2-5 record has drawn attention across the <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/mlb\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word text-(--theme-primary-color) hover:text-(--theme-text-color) hover:bg-(--theme-primary-color) cursor-pointer font-bold border-b-(length:--theme-border-width) border-b-(--theme-border-color)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MLB<\/a> after several tough losses, and more players could soon echo similar messages.<\/p>\n<p>Is there enough time for the Red Sox to recover?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">The short answer is yes. With Anthony calling for calm and the team picking up a 5-2 win over the San Diego Padres in their home opener, there are signs things could improve. It\u2019s worth noting that last season, Boston also started slow, losing four of their first five, before turning it around and eventually reaching the postseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Right now, the Red Sox are struggling not just in the standings but also at the plate. While Anthony has been relatively solid, Jarren Duran has had a rough start, hitting just .182.<\/p>\n<p class=\"break-word\">On the other hand, Wilyer Abreu has carried momentum from the World Baseball Classic and is one of the few producing consistently. He\u2019s among the team\u2019s top hitters with a .393 average, leading the club in RBIs, home runs, and hits so far this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roman Anthony has recorded six hits in 26 at-bats so far this season, good for a .231 average,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":662802,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2375],"tags":[5,141,48,2542,4,82291,89,2543],"class_list":{"0":"post-662801","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-red-sox","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-boston","10":"tag-boston-red-sox","11":"tag-bostonredsox","12":"tag-mlb","13":"tag-nomsn","14":"tag-red-sox","15":"tag-redsox"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116346813435984517","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=662801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662801\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
