Sorry, probably shouldn’t have gone there but @BimboColesHair intimated I had no reason to question Karinchak’s mental makeup. Anyway, I will remove my earlier comments.Yikes. Going off the rails here guys.
Cannot so easily separate them but I’ll drop my line of questioning in the interest of board civility. You could, for your part, try to be a little less condescending toward those who may disagree with you. Nonetheless, I find your insider views very informative.I’ve said enough about Karinchak’s work ethic in here over the years, as recently as yesterday too.
If you choose to ignore that it’s not my job to hold your hand to get you there.
If you choose not to believe me that’s fine too.
Stop equating what the guy says on social media with how he behaves in his professional life.

Fair enough. FWIW, I’m certain everyone on this board deeply appreciates your insiders look at the Cleveland FO decision making process.Not condescending, just frustrating that I take time out of my day to give everyone here nuggets on this tight lipped organization because this is, IMO, the most active forum for the Indians currently, but at times it seems they’re chosen to be ignored by people who then try to turn the conversation in the opposite direction to what I say.
If what I post is ignored or not believed I won’t share anymore. It’s not worth the professional risk at that point.
So yes, frustrated that I literally said his work ethic is incredible and his private social media/beliefs don’t come close to mirroring who he is a professional yesterday and here we are having a conversation about it again today.
Isn't there a rumor out there that MLB is looking into incorporating "pre-tacked" baseballs next season? Whatever happens there has to be some common ground.Any possibility of the Japanese-style "tacky" finish baseball being adopted any time soon?
I found the widespread use of sticky abhorrent, but this would certainly level the playing field and seems an excellent compromise.
I've questioned it too, but it had nothing to do with his posts on social media. Hell, I don't even know what he said, nor do I want to know. My thoughts stem from his anxiousness/quirkiness on the mound. It seems as big moments often eat him alive, but I also have to understand that he's young. I've said it before, often times when I express my opinion about players in this organization I honestly hope that I'm wrong. What Bimbo says gives me comfort that my thoughts about Karinchak's mound presence is not accurate. That's good news to me because clearly he is uber talented and could help this team have a formidable BP. It doesn't have to be a dick measuring contest. If it were @Lee would be the loser according to his own words.Sorry, probably shouldn’t have gone there but @BimboColesHair intimated I had no reason to question Karinchak’s mental makeup.

Could've had the players on that list....Still relatively small samples, but interesting in any case.
Miller certainly looks more comfortable at the plate…
