The Red Sox are off & running – the best 9 game start to the season in franchise history. Also reports coming out today, via WEEI, that viewership on NESN is up an astounding 40%. Sox fans are quickly embracing this 2018 team. The first big series of this season comes tonight, in the the form of the currently struggling 5-5 Yankees. Stanton has had a home-stand that he’d love to forget about. Sale and the boys will look to make sure Giancarlo’s impending hot streak comes AFTER this series is over.
