There is not one pitcher on this roster who you should expect to step in and be like "I will stop a losing streak"

That should trouble people.

I saw McCutcheon CRUSH a golfball a few years back harder and farther than anyone I have ever seen. It was freaking LOUD.
I saw him play for high-A Altoona on a baseball roadtrip. None of my party had heard of him, but we saw him go 2/4 with a ringing double and a beautiful sliding play in CF and nicknamed him "McClutchen."

None of us were the least bit surprised when he started winning NL MVPs.

The meatball strategy worked three out of four times that inning! Rocket after rocket but only one homer, which I take as progress.

Maybe we should give Sale another start before drawing conclusions? Those Bello and Whitlock guys are pretty good.

Even if Whitlock and Bello come back and are good, the team is still short 1 top-line starter and 1 guy who is at least reliable. Obviously not easy to just acquire one of the former but either they have to figure it out or Sale has to figure it out.
