Now it's Good Pitch, No Hit?

The Indians currently are one of the AL's worst pitching teams, so naturally they get an outstanding performance from Sabathia and hold the Tigers to three runs. The Indians currently are the best hitting team in baseball, so naturally they post a goose egg on the scoreboard.

Along the way, there were the usual defensive lapses (Boone and Peralta in the 6th) and--most disturbing of all--a lack of hustle (Peralta waiting for his dribbler to roll foul in the 8th).

This is a team that's finding a way to lose. Time for a little inspirational speech in clubhouse, accompanied by some throwing of equipment.
