Did the Media Go Too Easy on Cooper Ingle?

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Ken and Lima take caller reaction to the Cooper Ingle blunder, with Drew from Chicago arguing local media went too soft on Ingle by suggesting his rookie status or outfield inexperience as excuses instead of just calling it a boneheaded play. Ken and Lima counter that reporters were likely trying to guide players toward honest answers rather than let them off the hook, and agree the team's lack of run support means any defensive mistake gets magnified. They openly admit double standards exist, noting a veteran like Jose Ramirez or a struggling player like Gabriel Arias would face harsher scrutiny for the same mistake. A second caller shifts blame to the front office's roster construction, sparking a broader tangent comparing the Guardians' tight-margin build to the big-spending, dysfunctional Mets.
