Yes, I do think that they pitching is starting to crack and crumble, emphasis on "starting to." Lester has turned into a pumpkin, and I don't think it will get much better. Buchholz is on the DL. We have to hope that whatever this injury is that it doesn't linger. Without those two guys anchoring the top of the rotation, the pitching staff will be tremendously stressed and the pen will get overused and burn out. Morales is in the midst of a lost season. Bailey was a waste. Hanrahan made a guest appearance. Yes, if you look at the staff with a critical eye, the cracks are quite noticeable. Lackey is holding up his end, and we will need him to continue to do so. Doubront will have to stay strong too.
