@SeanRossSapp has AEW abandoned the Bullet Club Gold branding?

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

@SeanRossSapp Looks good in the venue but sounds terrible.

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

@TrevorDame And Ospreay?

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

What is AEW doing?

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

It’s been all down hill from here.

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

Hot take: maybe the worst Blue Jays trade I have seen. I hope I’m wrong but holy fuck.

[Keegan Matheson @KeeganMatheson]

One of the #BlueJays' strengths entering this offseason was versatile, controllable depth.

MLB: Schneider, Biggio, Espinal, Clement
Prospects: Martinez, Barger, Jimenez, Lopez, Palmegiani

Spending to add to that group is not what I expected from a fit or efficiency standpoint.

[Keegan Matheson @KeeganMatheson]

From here, the #BlueJays can’t go much further in the direction of players who profile as being glove-first or utility.

They don’t have a game tomorrow, so there’s time, even in a poor market... But the next moves will need to improve and expand this offence.

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

With the re-signing of Kiermaier…I’m sorry are the Jays actually going to run the 2023 roster back with lesser players in the Chapman, Belt and Hicks roles? Thats the solution to consecutive playoff busts in the middle of a window of contention? Brutal. Say it ain’t so.

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

Tough to admit as a life long Jays fan through up & down eras - but missing out on both Soto & Ohtani (price tags notwithstanding) after the last 2 seasons and Vlad’s plateauing is making it much harder to get excited for 2024 than I expected. What a dumb feeling.

@SeanRossSapp MJF leverages giving title shots to each of Joe, Wardlow and Hobbs to recruit them to his team for the 8-man on Dynamite?

@mitchellpollock Has this season been as frustrating for you as it has been for me?

@Wilnerness Two things can be true, no?

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

Biggest takeaway from tonight’s Royal Rumble is that most wrestlers are not graceful joggers.

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

@theDaddyMagic “TSN Turning Point” has all the US viewers confused haha

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

I would love to be wrong by the rose coloured Kiermaier glasses everyone is wearing are freaking me out.

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

@mitchellpollock Really like Varsho but the whole offseason feels like plan B’s and C’s. And they’re compounding. Missing on Nimmo and the collapse of the catching trade market means we over pay for the alternative and don’t get full value for the Moreno asset IMO

[Ian Stanger @ianblackbox]

For the record I really like Varsho, but the price and the lineup impact/implications are really tough to see past.

We have plenty of thundercats bullshit in stock for all y’all horny for thundercats after Jade
