The atmosphere around the Boston Red Sox is a lot better than last season. The Red Sox seem to be more enjoyable to watch and more importantly, manager Alex Cora has the attention of his players.
Last year, John Farrell lost his clubhouse. Even with the media, Farrell was using more of a corporate tone to talk to the press after the games. Despite winning the American League East, they still would lose in the first round of the playoffs to the defending champion Houston Astros.
The Red Sox are on pace for a record-setting season and another division win.
