Since Wednesday was an off day, Nathan Eovaldi has had some extra time to prepare for a start that will hopefully turn his early struggles around. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe)
Matt Barnes doesn’t believe in labels. He’s fine pitching whenever he is needed. (Nick Friar; WEEI)
As good as Barnes has been, if the starters don’t figure things out, he and the rest of the relievers will be asked to do too much. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal) ($$)
Obviously its not just Sale who has to improve.
