Cleveland is smart. They picked up prospect capital at the trade deadline and then pick up some decent players for absolutely nothing for a no-downside pennant run.
Back in the Anthopoulos "WWE Attitude" era if we were playing limp dick baseball like this, Bautista would slide hard into a 2B to break up a DP on the bases and then launch a throw on from RF trying to nail a runner at first. Then Donaldson would tell the opposing manager to f*** him and suck his cock.
One of Bichette or Merrifield need to make a statement on the field. They're the only guys in the lineup who seem pissed about losing.
