Dodgers have beaten the Padres 16 out of the last 18. They absolutely have a scary lineup for playoffs but they have been falling apart whenever we play. Silly stuff like Machado giving up on plays.

I will never understand how Gavin Lux can just not play defense.

Soto if you can just wait out two years we have a great spot waiting just for you And there's a nice farm upstate that you guys are planning to take Bellinger. Maybe the worst player I love

All the makings of an Ace Isnât he already the Ace of DDT? Yes. Takeshita has been great for a while and he just has a bigger audience watching now. Heâs definitely the ace of DDT but you can make the argument they are shifting to Endo. Itâs not a perfect comparison but a slight Okada/Naito comparison.

I just got out of the movie and I can say 2 things: Nami boobs are essentially satire, theyâre totally aware and go all in and make it ridiculous lol. Uta is probably one of the most hateable characters in the series, but as always, they find a way to make you see their side for a bit. So, Uta is the villain then? {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Yeah, she's the villain. The movie is framed around her appearing as a hero but really being the bad guy.

I absolutely think the Padres could be dangerous in a playoff series but Iâm kinda happy the Dodgers kept the farm in tact given how good those prospects look. Man, how do the Dodgers do it? Just keep on replenishing with top talent. Despite having a better record, the Yankees can learn something from them. I honestly don't really know but from what I've observed as a fan is that it isn't really drafting but their coaching and player development. They are really good at looking at undervalued guys and identifying a weakness they can fix. The amount of contributors to the Dodgers that have been castoffs is surprising. I think Gallo is them pushing their luck a bit but I don't think they go for him if they don't see something fixable.

Padres are losing 8-0 to the dodgers tonight. Those idiots in their front office obviously should have done more at the deadline. I absolutely think the Padres could be dangerous in a playoff series but Iâm kinda happy the Dodgers kept the farm in tact given how good those prospects look.

Iâm late on this but, Vin Scully was so so much to me as Dodgers fan. Just a marvelous storyteller and the voice of memories to me. The way the Giants honored him speaks to both his greatness and their class as an organization.

Please demonstrate to me how giving women an entire show of their own is somehow a bad thing. Sure they should still be featured talents on Dynamite but how the f*** is giving them a whole extra show a bad thing? The Japanese have been doing it for decades and it works just fine. Japan does it well for entirely different reasons that arenât present or established in AEW and would not make sense to suddenly shift to. This also gets into the fact that not all Joshi promotions are run the same. I get your point but I donât think itâs a great straight up comparison.

It is clearly not her strong suit, and she often comes off as not very likable. I mean, she's very good in the ring given how little she's been in the business, but it really seemed like they wanted her to fail at times. Becky once destroyed out there. I hope when she comes back, they make her heel and give her a manager. Play to her strengths, not her weaknesses. Sheâs bad at it, but they look at her as someone who crosses over and gets attention from other media and non strictly wrestling fans, so they want her in that kinda spotlight. Like seven different major media outlets covered her suspension as legit. I donât like her at all but thatâs the sorta coverage/engagement they seem to love.

Is there a chance it's trying to set something up between Sarray and Blair? Similar to the recent stuff with Sonya Deville and Bianca? Probably not. Blair is deeply unpopular for whatever reason I donât think the reason is that vague lol.

Yuka, mostly because I can watch her against great opponents regularly outside aew. Deeb is probably the best but rarely gets to show it in a high profile match, same goes for many others. Some I've barely seen in any match for quite some time. They've assembled a good roster, it's time to take the brakes off and let the bigger names face each other more regularly. Tbf they might have started. Yeah I think you put what I couldnât well. I really like Shida but have loved her recent Japan matches more than the ones in AEW. I really wanted to put Hayter there too because sheâs really good, just would like to see them do more one on one matches with her. I suppose at the end of the day if weâre just talking in ring âskillâ it doesnât matter, but it does influence your view.

Always hate to be booking bitching guy but disheartening a bit as a Sarray fan to see her go from something epic like this: www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/wg4rvy/sendai_girls_2019_the_sun_god_sareee_sarray_and/to just directionless. I think that's what bothers me, I wouldn't like it obviously, but I could accept her wrestling consistently and not "making it" but it just feels like everything she does is so disconnected and not invested in. Imo I'd rather they just call her up and pretend NXT never happened.

Shida wins another one, now only if it was leading to something In her autograph signing stream for Ice Ribbon she indicated that her Makai performances are going to be monthly. If sheâs doing that for any extended bit of time sheâs basically part time. On top of her challenging for titles in Japan (Ice, Wave) now itâs hard to see TK investing large TV time to her. Maybe they can work something out but I feel like matches like tonight could easily be on TV.

Farhan Zaidi in the booth justifying his godawful trade deadline and saying the giants are just a hot streak away from contending for that last playoff spot just three nights ago is absolutely hilarious. I get being .500 at the deadline and just a few games out of the WC, but itâs not like they were buying and going all in. Last year they got career year great performances you knew werenât going to continue, seems like Rodon would have netted some youth to replace that in the coming years.
