Roman Anthony's eventful Red Sox debut includes 111 mph rocket, RBI, error that ‘just can't happen'
BOSTON — Many highly touted rookies have rather forgettable major league debuts in which they don't find themselves in the middle of the action. Roman Anthony's first game, however, was pretty eventful. After being called up to the majors just a couple hours before first pitch Monday, Anthony — the consensus No. 1 prospect in baseball — saw it all in a 10-8 Red Sox loss. He ripped an 111.2 mph liner that resulted in a groundout, made a costly error as the Rays jumped ahead in the fifth, had his first career RBI despite going 0-for-4, reached base for the first time with a walk and was lifted for a pinch-hitter with the game hanging in the balance in the 11th inning. Advertisement Anthony, hitting fifth and playing right field (a position at which he had just four starts in Triple-A this season) didn't light up the box score. But his night was an eventful one. 'It was awesome,' he said about his debut. 'Unfortunately, we couldn't get a win but it was a good experience, getting it over with, the first one out of the way.' As Anthony came to the plate for his long-awaited first at-bat in the second inning, he got a loud ovation from the Fenway Park crowd. He then popped out to left field. Two innings later, he absolutely smoked a Shane Baz fastball up the middle, but the ball hit Baz and deflected third baseman Junior Caminero, who threw Anthony out. A sixth-inning at-bat was a strikeout. But the seventh inning brought a six-pitch walk as Anthony reached base for the first time and an RBI groundout up the middle in the ninth turned a 7-5 deficit into a one-run game. Anthony said he felt comfortable at the plate all night and his manager concurred. 'He was able to slow it down,' said Alex Cora. 'The walk, hit the ball hard, stayed up the middle, didn't try to do too much. It was a good first day.' Advertisement Defensively, Anthony had a rather costly slip-up in a somewhat unfamiliar position on what was a wet, misty night at Fenway. One batter after Jarren Duran bobbled a ball in left and allowed Tampa Bay's second run to score in the fifth, Anthony let a Yandy Díaz single skid past him on the outfield grass, allowing Brandon Lowe to score from first and Díaz to get to third. The Rays went up, 3-0, but the Red Sox tied the game an inning later. 'Just can't happen,' Anthony said. 'It's one of those plays, I've dealt with that skip a million times in my career. It's tough when you lose a game like that and you feel like that's the reason why you lost, little things like that.' Anthony's night came to a premature end when Cora — for the second time in the game — pinch-hit for one of Boston's top prospects with a right-handed journeyman. In the bottom of the sixth, Cora subbed in Romy Gonzalez for the left-handed Marcelo Mayer against southpaw Garrett Cleavinger and was rewarded when Gonzalez tied the game with a two-run, opposite-field double. Cora had let Anthony, another lefty, face Cleavinger but pulled him for Rob Refsnyder against rookie left-hander Ian Seymour in the 11th. Refsnyder worked a leadoff walk but Boston unable to close the gap and lost. 'They've never been pinch-hit (for) in the minors,' Cora acknowledged. 'This is what we do here. There's gonna be lefties that we're going to hit for them. They're gonna pinch-hit for other guys. We've got some good pinch-hitters here. Romy, that's his job, and Ref. We'll pick and choose. But they understand.' Advertisement Anthony's first MLB hit will come soon, perhaps as soon as Tuesday night against Ryan Pepiot. He felt like there were some things to build on at the end of a chaotic Monday he'll never forget. 'I thought I swung at good pitches,' he said. 'Unfortunately, some of those balls couldn't skip up the middle and drive some runs in. I felt like I did a good job of putting the bat on the ball and getting guys over.'

Not calling up Roman Anthony sends bad message to fans, ex-Red Sox pitcher says
The more Roman Anthony continues to set Triple-A on fire with offense, the more fans wonder what more he has to do to get called up to the Red Sox. Anthony, baseball's No. 1 prospect, is slashing .288/.423/.491 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI — including a 497-foot grand slam he hit over the weekend. Advertisement How the Red Sox have handled Anthony was a big topic of discussion during ESPN's 'Baseball Tonight' podcast. 'If you are held back and you deserve it and you're doing everything that you're supposed to be doing like Roman Anthony is, it just negates that purity. I don't know if I'm saying it right,' ex-Yankees pitcher David Cone said. 'It sends a bad message to the whole organization, it sends a bad message to the whole fan base,' he continued. 'Anyone who cares about the Red Sox knows this kid has earned his way to the big leagues and he's being held back, and he deserves to be here. There's something that just doesn't pass the smell test there.' There's been speculation the Red Sox are manipulating Anthony's service time by not calling him up, but chief baseball officer Craig Breslow recently said if they are going to call Anthony up, they want him to play every day. With a logjam in the outfield with Jarren Duran, Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela, it makes it difficult to get Anthony into the lineup. Advertisement 'You find a way. You're supposed to get your best players on the field,' Cone said. 'You're not supposed to retain roster spots because of contracts, or because there's not a proper fit, or because you think he needs to work on something else that he clearly doesn't. He's earned it' Red Sox manager Alex Cora was peppered with questions about Anthony over the weekend, but said he can't speak to whether he'll be with the team when it returns to Fenway Park on Monday. 'My mind is with the 26 guys we have here,' Cora said. More Red Sox coverage Read the original article on MassLive.
