Before you read this recap, please know that I have not forgotten how fun the last week was. Heck, how fun the last year was. But god damn if the Cleveland Indians didn’t deserve to lose tonight. A series of boneheaded decisions, culminating in another awful bunt by Lonnie Chisenhall, snapped the Tribe’s season-high winning streak at six games in the most painful way possible.
For the Indians offense, tonight’s game started like many of the past six games. Francisco Lindor did something good (hit), followed by something not as good (caught sleeping on the bases), Jose Ramirez hit, and Edwin Encarnacion broke out the parrot to pile on his team-leading 17th home run.
