OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[manny]

Positives: Good start by Manoah. Vladdy is hitting everything hard. Davis Schneider is real.

Negatives: everything else.

The season is 1/4 done. This team is not good. Baltimore up next,

I’d say Atkins had nothing to do with those but picking cupholders out of a catelogue stiles me as a task for a regional assistant to the general manager

If the Jays have ever had an assistant TO the regional manager, it’s Ross Atkins.

Dwight got shit done though. I’d take fictional Dwight Schrute over Shatkins

Atkins probably doesn’t even know beets.

Varsho hasn’t responded well to moving up in the order. Rocking a 55 wrc+ so far in May.
