Sputtering Cleveland Indians still searching for their top gear in 2017: Rant of the week

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Nobody is happy with the way the Indians are playing right now. Not the manager, the coaching staff, he players and the front office.

They just finished a 4-5 trip in which they averaged fewer than three runs a game. Manager Terry Francona in describing the trip said, "Well, it could have been 2-7."

On Friday night, their first game back home, they were shut out by the Twins, 1-0. Ace Corey Kluber and platoon-outfielder Austin Jackson are on the disabled list. But mostly this team has been hurt by ragged and inconsistent play.
