I am a lifelong Indians fan and resident of Ctown. I listen to a lot of sports talk radio lol. Generally, it seems that the fan base believes in his ability and feels he is a top pitcher - last year was a legit candidate for the Cy Young until he was injured. They support his scientific approach to pitching and knowledge of mechanics, but have tired of his personality ... He can be a gamer and tough, which the fans like, but then can be surly and eccentric. I'm sure its not always fair but that is how he comes off. There is no outcry to trade him or anything, but the drone incident in the playoffs in 2017, frequent Twitter outbursts, and the way he deals with the media is getting tiresome. Overall, I like him and am willing to take the bad with the good so to speak if he continues to win!
