WEEI Afternoons back here at Fenway Park in our Ford Clubhouse Fenway Studios.

Joined now by Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who is brought to you by Shaw's and Star Market,

the official supermarket of the Red Sox Radio Network, by our Bella, here for baseball fans here for good,

and by John Sewer and Drain Cleaning, the name to know when your drains don't flow.

Alex, how are we doing today?

Doing good, doing good.

Good weekend in New York.

Good game yesterday.

So hopefully show up today, pitch again.

I think that's the most important thing and win the series and enjoy the off day.

How's the first couple days of the Roman Anthony experience going here?

And the whole Anthony family, I guess.

They were right next to you there at the dugout. Yeah, yeah. It's good. You know, we've been

talking about this kid for a while. You see him play and you're like, okay, you know, this can get

interesting now. I think lineup wise, what he brings to the equation is something that we get a few of them,

right, but we don't have many of them. We swing a lot, and he doesn't swing that much.

He can catch up with a four-seamer. We got a few guys that struggle with that, so it create balance.

I talked to him yesterday. I was like, don't, you know, you come here and do your part, you know.

And obviously everybody's talking about him.

He's all over the place.

But the way he goes about his business is real, you know, like he doesn't get too high or too low.

Think about it.
