I hope you cherished all 13 of the runs the Cleveland Indians scored against the Reds on Thursday night, because there were no runs to be cherished on Friday night against the Chicago White Sox. The Tribe dropped a 2-0 game in the Windy City thanks to their anemic offense.
It was an extraordinary display of ineptitude at the plate. The Indians managed four hits, drew eight walks, and loaded the bases twice — once with no outs — but grounded into three inning-ending double plays and left ten men on base. If their goal coming into the game was solely to drive up White Sox starter Dylan Cease’s pitch count, mission accomplished.
