None of the Sox starters seem to care. Royals have been running wild and the Sox pitchers are hardly looking over, never mind throwing over. Between not pitching inside (at least Lackey is trying to keep these guys from owning home plate) and not holding runners, there seems to be some pretty basic pitching fundamentals that the Sox pitchers just don't care about. Maybe what progress, Lester and Buch made early is more due to Lester and Buch and has less to do with Nieves and Farrell. There are some pretty big holes in the staff skill set and it has started to show in crunch time, post ASB. Since it is staff-wide it is hard to blame the individual pitchers.
