Sorting Through a Sloppy Start to the Season for the Pats. Plus, a Huge Win for the Sox.

Off The Pike with Brian Barrett

Brian breaks down a big win for the Red Sox in Toronto, where they overcame a shaky start from Lucas Giolito and got some big hits from the bottom half of their lineup (0:45). Then, he chats with the Boston Herald’s Zack Cox about the Patriots’ sloppy play, which running back gets the start on Sunday, Christian Gonzalez’s availability, and some early Celtics notes heading into training camp (25:00). Brian and Jamie end with a couple listener emails and discuss the MLB playoff race (1:14:35).
