Crunchy or creamy JIF?

Should a balk count if the pitcher fakes a throw to second base as they do 1st and 3rd?

Personally I think these warrant discussion and we get back on more legitimate topics.

Crunchy peanut butter all day.

Balks should always count, but never be counted.

So asking about the future of 2B/3B in 2020 isn't legitimate enough of a question?

Keep Jose at third. Pray Freeman is ready to come up and play at second. If he's not, I guess you look to bring in a vet or give someone like Mathias a shot.

We're in a really, really good place financially next year. I'm excited about a retooling.

Tyler freeman I believe if going by a normal movement up for hitters in the Indians organization could make his debut next season, but I believe they would want him one more season in the minors.

Could you see the Indians make a big trade/sign a bigger name free agent to replace Kipnis or just go for a trade like we did with Luplow to find a guy to compete with Mathias/Chang/Clement for second base? Personally I see a move leaning towards the competition with Mathias for 2nd base. Via a trade or minor league free agent.
 
Okay back to a legitimate topic, @Urban @Out of the Rafters at the Q

Ramirez staying at 3rd going forward? Do you guys feel comfortable with the in-house replacements for Kipnis/3B next season?

Personally I feel JRam should play at 3rd mostly because 2nd base I feel is easier to replace the production for. Next years free agent market is thin, plus we really only have Mathias and Chang who could make the roster as the everyday 2B/3B next season in the minors, and even then Chang has lost this season overall, so we don't know if that has set him back or not.

I think he's fine to stay there, but if he is moved to 2B to make room for someone else, so be it. The Indians are probably disappointed with Chang's season considering they probably expected him to contribute next season. Not particularly high on one of Chang or Mathias being everyday players, especially next season, but would be happy to be proved wrong.
 
Crunchy peanut butter is absolutely disgusting you heathens.

I’d also be down to move Jose to 2B and get somebody else in here to man third. Kipnis looks cooked and Jose’s defense is trending downwards at third. I think he already had more errors this year than he did all of last year.

What a stupid question.

Obviously creamy, crunchy peanut butter is an abomination to humanity.
 
For those who like smooth peanut butter better, do you pay someone to chew your food and wipe your ass
