MLS dot com either has an AI going over the replies to respond (since I listed the problem as "Other") or they have had such an influx of people doing the review saying how they feel about AI that they had to make their own response to AI specific complaints.

FYI, there is a chance that the Portland Timbers could make JD Vance sad tonight and that would be very very funny #RCTID

we very badly need another MLS cup #RCTID

sitting in line for an estate sale plane watching, this is my peak summer form

BREAKING (not really; Costa Rican sources announced it hours ago, I just got off work): Ariel Lassiter broke his hand with Costa Rica at the Gold Cup; it is uncertain whether he will continue at the tournament or not.

The Timbers' winger depth gets even rougher if he misses any time for us😬 #RCTID

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned with the Jonathan Rodriguez injury is the potential for him to terminate his contract since he didn't play 50% of the season. His agent mentioned this clause when he was signed.

So a new DP may not need to be TAM-able...even more roster flexibility

Obviously the likelihood of every result going our way is slim, but the fact we are even in this conversation half way through the season with ONE DP on the roster says a lot.

Sign a DP in the summer (or two?!) and let’s get weird

It’s also weird being a Timbers fan and paying attention to supporters shield standings… SD/MIN play each-other, MIA has CWC, NSH and CIN both have tough road games this week. Results go our way and uh we are possibly 3rd…

Not too bad halfway through the year🤷

Thinking about the potential impact of Fridays game vs SJ for the Timbers and am feeling giddy.

IF the Timbers win, we are guaranteed to move up in the table, since MIN and SD play each-other. If they draw and we win, 2nd place is ours. So obviously root for a Timbers win and SD/MIN draw

HOWEVER... I do believe these players should be getting more recognition for how well they have played, and 1-2 should be in Austin for the All-Star game. This team was supposed to be a play-in contender; now we are on pace for the best regular season in club history. ALL WITH ONLY ONE DP! #RCTID

David Ayala: He is MILES better than Artur. It is laughable that David is getting fewer votes, especially with the media attention he has gained recently, both from local and national media outlets.

He has been one of the best DM in MLS this year; stats prove it. Get him to Austin.
June 9, 2025 at 8:26 PM
Finn Surman: He is a better player than Lalas Abubakar on a better team. Lalas has also only played 470 min compared to Finn's 1200.

Small sample size, on a worse team, Finn wins here.
June 9, 2025 at 8:26 PM
David Da Costa: He is leading MLS in assists with 8, along with 2 goals. Lucho Acosta has 3 goals and 0 assists with one of the best strikers in MLS on his team.

DDC has taken on a big weight being "the guy" after Evander. He should be better, but he has been better than Lucho by a mile.
June 9, 2025 at 8:26 PM
Antony: I do not think Antony is better than any of the forwards on this list; the only one he comes close to is Dreyer, but that dude is a baller. They have the same amount of G/A but SD success warrants it

I think Antony deserves a coach's or commissioner's pick this year; he has been so good.
June 9, 2025 at 8:26 PM
MLS just released their updated top vote-getters for the ASG, and there are some pretty noticeable players in this list that I think Finn Surman, David Ayala, David Da Costa, and Antony are more deserving of getting an All-Star shout for various reasons. Here is my 100% unbiased thread #RCTID
June 9, 2025 at 8:26 PM
I think it’s kinda gone under the radar that the Timbers are doing this all with ONE (active) DP

Assuming Jona is sold or SEI soon, another DP will come in the summer. This team is going to get better and I genuinely think with the right summer moves we could do some damage in the playoffs #RCTID

nothing describes the timbers recent run of form better than this single picture #RCTID
May 29, 2025 at 3:31 AM
Underrated element of yesterdays game was yet another Antony assist (MLS assist but it counts on their website so who cares)

He is now up to 11 G/A in 12 games, tied for first in MLS with Espinoza from SJ.

Lowkey having the quietest MVP and All Star caliber start to the year in MLS🫣🫣 #RCTID
May 11, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Antony has the most G/A in MLS

That is a real stat 10 games into the season what is life #RCTID
April 28, 2025 at 4:15 AM
thank you MLS schedule makers this is beautiful
April 27, 2025 at 5:06 PM
“That friday feeling🎉” and it’s a video of players paying their respects to their international teammate that just died??

There was so many other goal celebrations that MLS could have used in this compilation
April 25, 2025 at 6:06 PM
One genuine positive over this stretch of unbeaten games is the fact the Timbers have only conceded 2 goals from the run of play

However a genuine negative is they have conceded 5 goals from free kicks and penalties #RCTID

I guess i lied, very weird how he’s not starting the warmups with Max #RCTID
