Atlanta-Normally, the Red Sox hold a brief informal ceremony to host each new call to the main leagues after their great debut in the league. Marcelo Mayer, however, had to wait for his.
Tradition of breaking, and knowing Mayer is, unlike some other temporary calls, here to stay, the manager of Red Sox, Alex Cora, decided not to celebrate a celebration of the club for Mayer on Saturday night in Fenway after the Red Sox lost to Orioles, 2-1, in their debut. Cora decided that he was waiting for a victory to commemorate his debut in Mayer. This wait took a while, as Boston lost the first five games of Mayer’s career. But he finally spent on Friday in Tardist Park after a 5-1 victory.
“Finally, we were able to celebrate it,” Cora said. “It was 0 and 5. We usually celebrate immediately, but it is a great leap, it is a great leap of what we try to achieve and we are very happy that he has finally been able to celebrate today.”
The Red Sox usually celebrates MLB debuts with brief postgame speeches and a beer shower. Mayer arrived after a team victory where he was 0 by 4 but he did a stellar caught by jumping This caught everyone’s attention in the ball park – including those of another type of uniform.
“Great game,” Cora said. “There was also one. Defense is not the problem. This child succeeds. No panic.”
Mayer’s first expected week to the elderly has been a whirlwind. The young man, 22, was called in the middle of a double head on Saturday and had to be led from Worcester in Boston only to get it in time for the first night of the night in Fenway. Then came a road trip to Milwaukee, then Atlanta, in which he had many family members and friends. Offensively, he achieved his achievements and, defensively, worked well in the third base, an unknown position. All that was missing was a victory.
“These are two different things,” Mayer said before Friday’s game. “Obviously, I have an explosion in the big leagues, but we are here and we have to win games. Obviously we have had a few bad days.”
Mayer is impeccable in his last two games, but so far he has not looked on the plate, passing by 5 by 23 (.217) with two doubles while he was thrown in the middle of the order of Boston. The Red Sox, however, have little concern on the defensive side of things despite Mayer’s unknown with third base position. He has now registered more tickets at The Hot Corner (49 ⅓) to the older than his Minor League career (48 ⅓). But the transition has been rather perfect for a athletic natural short that replaces Alex Bregman on the march.
“Good range, good internal clock, non -panic, the arm plays,” Cora said. “It has been very good.
“Their decisions, his work, his hands, his IQ of Baseball, this type is a very good defender. (Many Prayer representatives)
Mayer credited a large number of prayer work to allow it to shine to third place, where he has already been worth 1 Drs (saved defensive tests) for the Red Sox. Cora said he would perform performances from Shortstop to spell Trevor Story, but decreased the idea of mixing Mayer in the second base, a place he could have played frequently with Bregman Healthy and Kristian Campbell, achieving representatives at the beginning.
The game did not look too fast for Mayer until now.
“I think the most important thing is to control your emotions,” he said. “If you leave it spiral, it can be fast. If you control and know who you are, it is the same game.”
Mayer’s arrival comes at the same time as fans and critics are calling for Boston to promote one of his best friends, Roman Anthony, to try to turn on the offense. Breslow Bassow Basket’s head has identified some remaining development goals for Anthony in WorcesterBut Mayer, putting on his Hat basketball chief, would like to see the 21-year-old camper at the Big League Clubhouse very soon.
“I think it’s ready,” Mayer said. “Obviously, playing with him every day for the past two years, I see the type of player he is and the type of person he is. I think his transition will be quite fluid in the big leagues whenever. I know he will be ready.”
Anthony’s time will come and soon. For the moment, however, the Red Sox celebrate Mayer, who properly took the final of the first victory of his career Friday night.
“Let him know that no one can take this out,” Cora said. “It’s a great jump. Regardless of what happens. Obviously we will not send it tomorrow, but if it was sent tomorrow and does not play the big leagues for the rest of his career, it is a great jump. We appreciate it and we take it very seriously.”
