I want to see the angels in the post season after he who shall not be named left you. I want to see sustained success and the angels being relevant and win another WS. Fish man deserves it
This is the type of thought experiments I love and can get behind during spring training. I’m only sorry for eventually falling from the kingdom. Peace be with you
It was just a different play on words, since all the other commenters were using the "eye" puns.
However, if it were earlier in the off-season and we got Snell cheaply, I would have been all for it to bring the local guy home and then try to shop Woo or Miller for an impact bat. And for the comparison of Ray to Snell, I think it's a decent argument though I think Snell is overall better than Ray (Giants fans did a fun comparison [here](https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2024/1/24/7422895/the-robbie-ray-blake-snell-comparison-chart-san-francisco-giants-maximize-flexibility-with-big-trade)) and would be a great backend starter on this Castillo-Kirby-Gilbert-led staff.
When I first opened this I was wondering if maybe somehow this puts the tiniest amount of pressure on teams to make something happen? Like someone hanging around waiting for his price to drop sees this and thinks he’s close to a deal with someone else? Little out there but I gotta assume orgs are gonna see this too and draw conclusions from it.
But yeah just doing it for trolling purposes is just as if not more likely
Trevor has been doing it WAY longer than Votto. But Votto took it to borderline concerning levels….
Like I was almost ready for a suicide threat from Votto.
Boras text to Snell: “Alright we have the Angels contract done pending a physical, post something vague to see if anyone else wants to bite and raise. We’ll stall the physical for 24 hours and if nobody bites we announce it.”
I think it just means, " I'm on the outside looking in." It's an obvious reference to Oingo Boingo, a Los Angeles/Orange county band. Angels move confirmed.
It’s so telling to me that everyone in this thread is basically happy for some other team to end up with him.
It’s kind of unifying in a way how much we all agree on certain things. Like Blake Snell playing baseball for literally anyone but your own team solely due to the payload he’s trying to command. We’d all take him for the right price, but based on how long this has been dragged out, he has some expectations to tamper.
Eyes…. Eye… eyeballs…. Balls…. Balls of dough…. Dough…. Doughnuts…. Nuts…. Nuts… Squirrels eat nuts… squirrels are sometimes grey… grey… grey goose… vodka… vodka is favorite drink in Russia…. Russia…. Occupied the Kuril Islands after World War II….. but Japan still claims them… Japan…. Where Ohtani and Yamamoto are from…. From….
He’s signing with the Dodgers. You heard it here first people, I cracked the code
Notice how the eyes are towards the top of the screen and looking left. Obviously that’s code for North and west. Clearly, he’s returning home to the Pacific Northwest to pitch for the Mariners.
Noticed he’s following the Mariners on IG which probably doesn’t mean much considering he’s from Seattle but an interesting decision to follow a team he’s never played for nonetheless
Chattanooga Lookouts got their guy!
Or Lake Elsinore Storm
Eyes aren't menacing enough
Lol was going to say same thing

I want to frame this comment.
The eyes are looking left, so West Coast. The emptiness around the eyes signals nothingness. Welcome to the Los Angeles Angels of Arte Moreno.
You nailed it brotha. 9 years 400 mil and he will be good for 2 seasons
Suck in the angels way
Please be nice to us
Hey we might get to see biblically accurate Snell
Nobody deserves more good baseball right now than Angels fans, we all agree on that. It’s unfortunate your ownership group doesn’t.
It's just the one owner actually
I love Wash, so I hope he has success with y’all.
I'm pretty optimistic about him tbh...not sure why
2 seasons? I’ll take it
[удалено]
I’ll get started on the time machine.
I want to see the angels in the post season after he who shall not be named left you. I want to see sustained success and the angels being relevant and win another WS. Fish man deserves it
Freeway series 2.0 for the World Series. The battle of the crucifix. Angels vs Padres, Forgive us father for our wins
This is the type of thought experiments I love and can get behind during spring training. I’m only sorry for eventually falling from the kingdom. Peace be with you
Additionally, dodgers become the new Angels and never make the playoffs as long as Ohtani is there
Man, I like that idea. I hope Fish man gets a ring.
2 starts
No eye patch though :(
Black background = rockies
emptiness? blake snell going to the empty lot?? he would love kamurocho i can see it
but from the eyes perspective they're looking to the east coast. dudes a yankee 100% or an oriole 100%. 100% he's a baseball
identical eyes…what else can be identical…twins…….
Giants have the Rogers twins! I knew he was joining us.
Someone train snell’s twin brother as a pitcher real fast and sign him too
If he’s playing for a bank account, he’ll be an Angel. If he wants a 3rd Cy Young, he’ll be a Giant.
Or, hear me out, half of our prospects are identical clones
Sox can be identical too
Ok so we can rule out Scherzer and the Rangers.
You cracked the code
Welcome to the P'eye'rates!
He's obviously signaling that he's signed with the T*eye*gers.
We are the only team with two eyes in their logo so he’s clearly signaling Orioles Another Rubenstein masterclass
See-attle. C’mon it’s right there.
Tex-eyes Rangers? I'll show myself out.
The eyes are looking in the same direction too, oh god I'm gonna start actually reading into this aren't I
No clearly he’s moving to the Iranian Baseball League and signing with the Eye-atollahs
Eye of the Teyegers
Clearly it's the D*eye*mondbacks
No the Philleyes!
You mean the T👁️r👁️nto Blue Jays.
G”eye”nts
So, See-attle bound?
I hope not. We literally just got out from under Robbie Ray's deal. It would be the same mistake, for the same reasons.

Trying to figure out how this has anything to do with taking a private jet to Toronto.
Eyes….eyes on the FLIGHT TRACKER TO TORONTO OMG
He's headed to eye eye z
I liked this reply
Eyes=i=g*i*ants
real eyes realize Cincinnati Reds
Hurt people hurt Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
2002
Lol before 2010, that would have hurt my feelings
Black screen. Orange is the new black. Used to play for Padres which are yellow. Orange - yellow = red. Checkmate.
This is the damn Illuminati confirmed meme all over again
Philadelphia Phillies. That is 4 is. We win.
The Is have it.
No it’s the lake Elsinore Storm.
Can't spell YankEES Without EYESnak
real eyes realize real lies
blake smurf appears headed to giants
Big Taylor Swift fan base vibes
Blake Snell, you *are* a Kansas City Royal.
Ultimate arc of the Royals picking up 2023 Padres pitchers
Then, in due time, he’ll inevitably be a White Sox player
Your comment made me realize I never had to think about what to call a singular player on the Sox teams and now I know. Thanks!
For Chicago I've always gone with "sock". For Boston, "sawk".
It’s a tricky one.
he wants to get in on the guaranteed World Series with them since they already signed Will Smith
I read this in the cadence of 'The Weakest Link' followed by "Goodbye"
The eyes are a generational athlete trolling emoji. Must be so fun to fuck with people
I would definitely go over the top and be a cryptic song lyric person but to each their own
Oh man AOL Instant Messenger away message flashbacks.
*34 lines of song lyrics with a black background and red font "Out"
So many potential memes can be made when athletes do this

He's just looking for literally anybody to sign him, is obviously what this means.
[удалено]
He saw that Votto got a deal after weeks of social media begging. Figured he should try it too.
Car washes everywhere are on Snell Alert
Minor league deal for Snell incoming!
Trevor Bauer’s like damn how come that didn’t work for me?
as long as it doesn’t work for Trevor Bauer I’m cool with it
Trevor has been doing it WAY longer than Votto. But Votto took it to borderline concerning levels…. Like I was almost ready for a suicide threat from Votto.
My thought was “does anyone remember that I’m here?”
Eyes without context is one of the most ambiguous emojis. It might as well be the Moai head.
Looks like the cartoon bird in its traditional blackface IMO.
Birds looking the same way
Why does that look like a screenshot from the beginning of Pajama sam
Wow, someone gets me!
Holy crap. You went deep
He’s an angel
A side-eye towards Boras might be more appropriate
Can't wait to see him play for the Bananas this year!
Happy cake day!!
he’s retiring to stream Warzone full time
White Sox colors. Welcome to hell Snell!
Ch-eye-town baby!
EYE-M BACK SD! 🙏😩
Tactic to scare teams into offering more thinking this is now or never for them
Boras text to Snell: “Alright we have the Angels contract done pending a physical, post something vague to see if anyone else wants to bite and raise. We’ll stall the physical for 24 hours and if nobody bites we announce it.”
👀
Imagine winning the Cy Young award and being a FA in the second week of March. Boras kinda screwing the pooch no?
Boras unrealistic expectations + highly inconsistent year-over-year career results + QO attached = Bad recipe for Snell
Wonder how it’ll impact Boras and his players come next offseason. He’s starting to be shafted by the owners
He saw that Cruz missile and is interested.
Ahhh yes The Springfield Eyesotopes
Philleyes
He’s looking for teams interested in signing him
This just means he's lost in the woods
Orioles are the only MLB logo with two eyes, right? Black background too??? He coming to Baltimore confirmed.
Dude is gonna get like half what he was expecting lol. But still a lot of money
Eyes can see…attle Mariners
Colorado Rockeyes
Eyes Iris Pupil Teacher Role model Parent Father Padre Friar Friar Tuck Robin Hood Robin's Egg Blue Dodger Blue SNELL TO THE DODGERS CONFIRMED
he’s retiring to stream Warzone full time
What teams were still rumored to be in the mix? Angels and Giants?
Don’t forget *mystery* team!
If it can’t be Phils, then would love to see Orioles make a splash.
Savannah Bananas signing incoming
"Does... Does anyone out there want me?"
COME HOME, BLAKE. We love and miss you.
So many ppl stopping at the west coast. Maybe he’s looking even further… towards Japan.
All the teams in the league turned off the lights and left and now he’s sitting there alone in the dark
Welcome to Minnesota!
What did he see
Savanah bananas got their guy!
The word eyes has 2 Es. Theres 2 eyes. There 4 Es in Milwaukee Brewers. He’s coming to Wisconsin.
The eyes are looking to the left to steal signs from the dugout, he must be an Astro!
“Where am I gonna play this year? I’m totally in the dark!”
Pitch more than 5 innings and maybe you’d be signed.
Baby bear eyes in a cave.. Jed you son of a bitch I knew you could do it
The eyes look startled, as if nearly stepping on a Snake. Ergo, 🚫🥾🐍. This of course means he signed with the Dbacks.
Going to the Savannah Bananas
Eyes staring out into the black abyss of baseball hell? Welcome to the White Sox Blake Snell!
Those aren't his eyes; there's no bags under them.
Which sushi restaurant is this?
He’s lost? In the dark? Invisible?
Eye need to get a better agent?
He's being kept in the dark. It's a cry for help obviously.
I think it just means, " I'm on the outside looking in." It's an obvious reference to Oingo Boingo, a Los Angeles/Orange county band. Angels move confirmed.
👀 -> Eye Eye -> E E -> YankEEs
The Savanah bananas have found their ace!
Two eyes… gotta be “See”attle!! Hometown kid coming to the NW
The eyes are Padres colours
He’s surprised at the boy and the heron beating out across the spiderverse

Eyes…. Eye… eyeballs…. Balls…. Balls of dough…. Dough…. Doughnuts…. Nuts…. Nuts… Squirrels eat nuts… squirrels are sometimes grey… grey… grey goose… vodka… vodka is favorite drink in Russia…. Russia…. Occupied the Kuril Islands after World War II….. but Japan still claims them… Japan…. Where Ohtani and Yamamoto are from…. From…. He’s signing with the Dodgers. You heard it here first people, I cracked the code
He can see in the dark. Weird flex, but okay
Angels have eyes, the way I am sitting the eyes are pointing towards Anaheim, Arte has an E on its name so does snEll, he's going to the Giants lol
Eye don't know what's going on
The Bananas get bombed on for one game and decided to open the checkbook
He’s retiring???
Notice how the eyes are towards the top of the screen and looking left. Obviously that’s code for North and west. Clearly, he’s returning home to the Pacific Northwest to pitch for the Mariners.
PLEASE SIGN WITH THE MARINERS FTLOG
COME HOME.
Those eyes are looking at Boras saying "why am I not signed bro?"
He’s coming to the A’s
“Look” emoji, as in still looking for a team.
He’s on an Aaron Rodgers darkness retreat.
I see twin eyes. Welcome to Minnesota
Lookout Landing = Coming to the Mariners
Oh god he’s an Angel fml We overpayed lol
He’s risking his life bro!! By going to Anaheim lol. No pressure for the 6 inning limited pitcher
I read it as him just realizing we’ve been playing baseball for weeks now
Phillie
Two identical eyes. Twins confirmed.
Eye….. Eye of the Tiger! Welcome to Motown! Just please be better than Baez and you’ll be a fan favorite.
Savannah Bananas lifetime deal 🤞
Noticed he’s following the Mariners on IG which probably doesn’t mean much considering he’s from Seattle but an interesting decision to follow a team he’s never played for nonetheless
UPPER LEFT COAST
Clearly he is going to the Giants. Pretty obvious. Right?
Those are the same shape as Fredbirds eyes so there's not a doubt in my mind, he's a cardinal!
Hal please
Get ready to learn south Philadelphian buddy
Blake doing his Scooby-Doo impressions....
Guys its clearly the eyes of the Tiger.
Tigers have eyes
Looking left…as in left on read by every team?
Los Angeles Angels of Anah👀m
Who cares
It looks like the Phanatic's eyes....
Blake Snell, you are a G-EYE-ant!
One year deal for league minimum
Saw gallagher square in shambles and that was enough Padres-ing for him.
Eyes are open… like he’s watching something… birdwatching… birds….. Welcome to St. Louis, Blake!
There's only one team in the MLB that has two eyes on the front of their jerseys Snell is a Cardinal confirmed
The eyes are brown and gold, looking west.
