"The injury bug has bitten us recently, with Roman Anthony's oblique injury making the deepest cut-to hopes of a well-rounded roster, possibly to our playoff dreams, and maybe especially, to our hearts. It's too early to know much, starting with how long he'll really be out of the lineup. Some have speculated that since he's so young, he might be able to bounce back more quickly. As for our playoff hopes, Alex Cora has said it: "We keep going.""
"Personally, I think the Red Sox will still make it. The playoff picture is anything but locked up, especially in the American League, so who knows...but Cora smartly handled the rotation earlier this week by giving Payton Tolle his rest. He's managing for the stretch run. Losing the bullpen game on September 3 was dispiriting but when you're looking at the big picture, sometimes you have to let some go. It's time to regroup, "keep going," see what happens."
"I'm rooting for Anthony from my own sickbed after experiencing a significant setback. In my physical therapist's office this morning, I broke down in tears of despair and frustration. Over what? Over every freakin' thing! Over the return of my huge limp, over being forced to downgrade to exercises I thought I'd graduated from a long time ago. Over feeling like all my hard work has been wasted. Over the summer that never happened at all for me."
The team faces a critical stretch where every game matters and injuries have impacted roster depth, notably Roman Anthony's oblique injury that threatens lineup and playoff hopes. Alex Cora emphasizes perseverance with the mantra, "We keep going." Cora managed the rotation by resting Payton Tolle, prioritizing the stretch run. A bullpen loss on September 3 was discouraging but seen as a sacrifice for the bigger picture. A team supporter experienced a significant personal physical setback, including a returning limp and downgraded exercises, leading to tears and frustration during physical therapy. The physical therapist advised focusing on present capabilities rather than past comparisons and on gradual recovery.
