Social media clamoring for Red Sox to call up Roman Anthony after another ugly loss
The Red Sox are in the midst of arguably their worst baseball this season after they were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers, including two walk-off losses.
Boston now has 15 one-run losses after Wednesday's defeat, which leads MLB.

With the offense struggling, many have wondered when Roman Anthony will get the call from Triple-A Worcester. Baseball's No. 1 prospect has been having a strong season with the WooSox, batting .318 with eight home runs, 23 RBI and a .978 OPS.
After Wednesday's loss — the fourth walk-off loss in their last five games — social media was ablaze about wanting the Red Sox to get Anthony to the big leagues.
Last week, manager Alex Cora was asked what more Anthony needs to do in Triple-A to get promoted.
'That's a great question. I understand where you're coming from,' Cora said. 'But we are where we're at. Right now we've got some guys here that are playing great baseball. We understand that at one point, I do believe they're going to be part of this. But as of right now, we haven't made that decision.'

Slotting Anthony into the lineup would mean benching an outfielder.
Calling Anthony up isn't a guarantee fix for what the Red Sox are going through. But a spark is certainly needed sooner rather than later.

Which younger Boston Celtics will have a bigger role with the team next season?
Which younger Boston Celtics will have a bigger role with the team next season? With the Celtics looking at being without star forward Jayson Tatum for much if not all of the season to come with an Achilles tendon tear currently healing up, there will be extra minutes available for Boston to fill. And that does not even take into account that big men Al Horford and Luke Kornet are free agents who might not return to the team. There are several younger players on the roster who might see their playing time go up given all that is going on with the Celtics for their coming campaign. Could we see more of Baylor Scheierman, Neemias Queta, Jordan Walsh, JD Davison, or Payton Pritchard, to name a few? Advertisement The hosts of the CLNS Media "Still Poddable" podcast, Brian Robb, Sam Packard, and Jay King, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over.
