Alex Cora explains his decision to slot Roman Anthony at DH early this season
""There's a few things we have to be better with defensively, and the kid knows it. The other day, there was a play where [Carlos] Correa was at second base and there was a base hit to left, and we have to throw him out. He knows it, we have to improve. It's not only him, it's everybody.""
""I thought that was better. Much better. He got the angle. I know the ball tailed ... but there was more conviction behind it. That was really good.""
Roman Anthony has struggled defensively for the Boston Red Sox, prompting manager Alex Cora to use him as a designated hitter. Cora emphasized the need for improvement, noting a specific play where Anthony's throw was off target. Despite this, Anthony contributed offensively with a triple and a base hit. In a later inning, he faced another challenge in left field, resulting in an error. Cora acknowledged Anthony's progress in throwing but highlighted the need for further development in his defensive skills. Anthony's batting average stands at .231 with one home run and two RBIs.
