This group of tweets by Jordan Bastian says it all on how bad the pitching has been:

Ballgame. Indians lose 6-1 to the Tigers, marking the Tribe's 8th loss in a row. 3rd-longest losing streak in AL this season.

Indians' 8.23 ERA over 8 L's is 2nd-highest for club over losing streak of 8+ (dating back to 1918). Had 8.34 ERA on 8-game skid in '87.

Acta, on rotation woes: "It's something that I've never seen before, the streak of non-quality starts that we're having right now."

And I haven't really mentioned the hideous hitting. I think both pitching and hitting coaches are in serious jeopardy of losing their jobs, if only to shock this team back into becoming even a semblance of a major-league club.

Speaking of which, is this just not a depressing headline?

Indians hope Seddon callup fixes rotation issues

We know that it really won't, but it would be nice for a pitcher to get through five innings and allow 3 runs or less. Yes, I know that I'm asking a lot, but still...

You Don’t Know Bo (Michael Bonfiglio)

Bo Jackson hit 500 ft. home runs, ran over linebackers, and—for a small window—he was the best athlete we had ever seen. You Don’t Know Bo is a close look at the man and marketing campaign that shaped his legacy. Even without winning a Super Bowl or World Series, Bo redefined the role of the athlete in the pop cultural conversation. More than 20 years later, myths and legends still surround Bo Jackson, and his impossible feats still capture our collective imagination.

Thanks to the hip injury his baseball and football careers were way too short, but for that stretch of years between 1986 and 1991, he was something to behold. In the 1989 calendar year, he hit 32 home runs for the Royals and rushed for 950 yards for the Oakland Raiders. I don't see anyone approaching that excellence in two professional sports leagues at the same time ever again.
