Three at bats, three 3 ball counts for Frey. Weak contact, K, and a BB but his command of the zone is impressive.

I know the org is incredibly high on him for that trait along with his general psychicality and ability to compress the baseball.

His arm strength was under the radar and also helped him gain some leverage

Not something he was able to show much in college

The injuries sucked for him but hopefully it ends up being a blessing for the Astros and they got a monster talent in the 3rd round. They certainly paid him like that’s the case

I’ve been out at the high school fields and have followed almost every pitch for LSU outside of yesterday’s game.

My expectations for this year are maybe a couple games above .500. The mismanagement of the Framber situation was understandable, and I think has cleared my system.

We will inevitably regret not moving Pena, but again, any chance of making a run required his presence. With the certain lockout looming, and the same orgs abusing the present system, my goodwill has waned, resulting in more of an overall appreciation of what the last 10 years have done for my 50+ years of devotion.

No ill will to NIH, but I have switched recently from wine to bourbon as my evening unwind, so let the chips fall where they may.

His arm was a deciding factor, as it relates to a future position.

Also playing a big part was Jay willing to match slot for his return

The opportunity is there for Frey to debut this year if he performs. The corner OF is wide open and they’ve shown they will push guys aggressively

I agree and I don’t understand why that hasn’t been mentioned as an option that would solve the infield logjam. His stock has never been higher. I know Correa has made comments about playing 3B and wanting to be there, but I mean, what else was he going to say?

Peña may go right back to chasing sliders down and away and we’ll be hosed.

Jesús Sánchez exit from Astros sparks harsh coaching critique from Blue Jays

Those two clowns should have been canned after 2023.

Oh no, no, no. We were told hitting coaches don't matter.

Crying like a bitch because all his nonsense about the hitting coaches not being responsible is being shoved up his arse.

quote:

it’s an eyewash nothing quote that people with nothing better to do are using for clicks and impressions. “we’re going to do different things with a player who sucked the past two months.” revolutionary!


“Nothing quote”??? Hey Rome…explain how in those 2 months, he managed to achieve career lows in every meaningful category. Not to mention the nothing quote came from a guy whose unit put up these numbers. He might know what he’s talking about.

quote:

In Popkins' first season in charge of the Blue Jays' offense, the team employed a contact-first approach and finished the 2025 regular season leading MLB in several offensive categories while ranking near the top in others. The Blue Jays led MLB with a .265 batting average, a .333 on-base percentage (OBP), and 1,461 hits. They recorded 1,099 strikeouts, the second-fewest in MLB ahead of the Kansas City Royals' 1096 strikeouts. The Blue Jays ranked third in MLB with a .760 on-base plus slugging (OPS), which was second in the American League (AL) behind the New York Yankees' .787 OPS. They tied for third in MLB with the Chicago Cubs with 771 runs batted in (RBIs), ranking second in the AL behind the Yankees' 820 RBIs. The team ranked fourth in MLB with 798 runs scored, which was second in the AL behind the Yankees' 849 runs scored.

quote:

The Blue Jays finished the 2025 postseason leading MLB in almost every offensive category with 667 at bats, a .285 batting average, a .352 OBP, a .471 slugging percentage (SLG), a .823 OPS, 28 home runs, 99 RBIs, 190 hits, 36 doubles, 105 runs scored, and 314 total bases.

So it seems like we're just gonna roll with Cesar Salad as the backup catcher. Carrot Tinis > Cesar Salads
