When you allow the #8 and #9 hitters....who are both hitting around .210 to scrap bases loaded 2 RBI singles, it's time to hang it up

As much as Rich Hill sucks, he did get 2 outs
Joe Smith came in with 2 outs and a runner on 1st and could not get a .223, .208 or .209 hitter out
another prime example of why these bums arent contenders

I don't understand why the Tribe doesn't play small ball to grab an early lead in games as much as the offense struggles. Francona preaches they need to get ahead of teams early to be effective and not feel the pressure of playing from behind. However, tonight's game was a perfect opportunity in the 1st and 2nd inning with two on and no out to do just that. First inning, two on, no out and Kipnis grounds into a double play, and Swisher strikes out. Then again in the 2nd inning, two on no out and Giambi delivers an RBI single, and they have 1st and 3rd no out and fail to score another freakin run off of Esmeil (spelling?) Rodgers who was all over the place early on. Masterson pitched strong for 6+ innings but ran out of gas. And why was nobody ready in the bullpen when Masterson was already close to or over 100 pitches in the 6th??? The stupid errors in the outfield proved costly once again and the bullpen sucks.
