As I like to tell myself, we just can't do anything the easy way. We almost always try the most difficult way to achieve the desired result, and oftentimes, we don't succeed when doing that.
... but, unfortunately, not all that uncommon with this team.
The offense basically not showing up for back-to-back games certainly didn't help, either.
I can't agree with handing them a run. First, who's to say the other Cleveland runner wouldn't have scored in that half inning in that circumstance. Second, if Pagan makes a good pitch there, it wouldn't have mattered who was on second.
