The Boston Red Sox are in first place of the AL East and veteran hurler Chris Sale‘s quote on the club is pure magic.
Thus far, the 2021 season really could not be going much better for the Boston Red Sox and manager Alex Cora. The club is in first place of the AL East with their 50-31 record. Oh, and to make things even better, there’s a dumpster fire going on in the Bronx, with the Yankees sitting in fourth place.
All in all, Boston just keeps on finding ways to come out on top. It’s been amazing to see for the fans, and of course the players as well. Just ask Chris Sale about that.
Chris Sale couldn’t be happier with how Boston has performed this season
If you love the Red Sox, how can you see that quote and not be fired up? This team has done a complete 180 from last season. Remember when they finished 2020 in last place of the division with their 24-36 record? Yankees fans were having a field day in trolling people in Boston. Now, the shoe is on the other foot.
The Red Sox are looking like one of the best teams in the American League, with supporters already dreaming about a return trip to the World Series. Meanwhile for New York, folks are calling for Aaron Boone to be fired.
For Sale, he’s still recovering from Tommy John Surgery, but the hope is that he’ll be able to get back on the bump here in the near future. He’s been tossing batting practice, with his fastball reaching the mid 90s. That’s of course amazing news for Cora.
When Sale is able to return, the rotation is going to get even stronger. That’s going to be a tough pill to swallow for the Yankees and the rest of the AL East.
