Bunting is stupid; Indians win home opener with dramatic Michael Brantley walk-off

The past few days have been rough to watch as a Cleveland Indians fan, and there has been a common theme in all of the losses: a lack of clutch hitting. Call it a skill, call it blind luck, or call it a byproduct of sequencing — however you want to categorize the inability to get runs home when runners are in scoring position, that is what this Indians offense has been doing... until the 10th inning of tonight’s win over the Chicago White Sox.

The heart of the Indians lineup put up a real honest-to-goodness fight in the sixth inning.
