I was able to put together a little highlight video of his stint in RF from yesterday.  Nice assist, noted by a previous poster, starting at 0:29.

Just saw this in the Baltimore Sun. Orioles prospect Coby Mayo has reported to Sarasota and will play a few games in the Florida Complex League next week as he recovers from back spasms, a source

I was really just posting he stayed at 3B the first weekend.    

I do hope there won't be anything like the SS/3B Mountcastle tilting at windmills, and that he won't repeat Trey Mancini's life experience of being asked to learn the OF at the same time he is trying to adjust to MLB pitching.

I hope he has the athleticism and defensive skill of young Kris Bryant!

Which is why you won't see him moved off 3B anytime soon.

I don't like the showboating. At the ML level, maybe. Not my style. 

But he sure did crush that ball.

Meh. I like when guys have fun playing the game. It wasn’t even really showboating.

He did something with his helmet too after flipping the bat. Came across more as cocky than fun to me. 

When you can crush a ball so far that the fans of the other team in their ballpark go "Ohhhhh" all in unison, I think it's ok to do a bit of a bat flip. I didn't feel that was showboating. I'm not big on that stuff either and despise the things being done in College baseball with showboating, but at the end of the day, the kid put a charge into one and had some fun afterwards.

Coby is a dude, plain and simple. I’m kinda old school, but to me there was nothing wrong with the bat flip. The helmet thing, it was brief, and it looked like he tipped his helmet to the bench or maybe the crowd. IDK which bench his team was in, I would guess away team is in 3B side. Either way, I have no problem with it, and I doubt anyone does from the other team.

To be clear, when you celebrate as you make your way to first with a moderate flip like that, today’s generation finds that normal. Now, if he stood there and watched for more than a second, or taunted the other team in some way, ok. He should wear one next time up. But I find what he did very benign. Besides, we need some swagger. That is the game today. I tell my guys, if you know you got it, go ahead and flip it. But you better be right. If you flip a non-homer, you owe your teammates and coaches. And the bill gets paid next practice, lol.

More importantly, as soon as he hit the ball, did he put his head down and run the bases? Would hate to hear that he is having fun out there.

Don't know, I was still watching for the ball to land!  😁

He crushed it and he was up right after Adley took the CF to the wall (nice catch by CF). 

I've seen a couple of his games this year (SSS) but I don't see anything concerning about his behavior.   I love watching him play but I think ill have to travel to Bowie pretty soon

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By forphase1 · Posted

      The age is certainly part of it.  But the larger part is he only hits home runs, and don't bring anything else tangible to the team.  Doesn't get on base well, doesn't have speed on the basepaths and plays a below average outfield.  Power wise he's very good and solid, at least this year which is an outlier compared to his others, but there is nothing else he does well.  He does have the advantage of being a switch hitter which is a big bonus, especially with Hyde and his obsession with lefty/righty matchups, but that only goes so far.  If he brought more to the table, then the age wouldn't matter as much, as if the power drops off he could be helpful in other ways.  But he doesn't, and that's the main reason I wouldn't sign him to a deal.  Age is A factor, but for me the type of player he is contributes more.   I agree that the market will give him too many years.  I don't care about the money so much, but I think anything beyond a couple 2-3 years is a bad idea.  I want to see us spend, but I want to see us spend wisely.  No more Davis/Trumbo type deals.  Spend the money on players that deserve it, not one dimensional players who are very likely to age poorly.  Santander was a great success story and it was one of the best rule V picks ever.  But it's time to let some other team pay for his decline, as I really don't see a Cruz type future for him.

      Agreed. So to put it very simply, if we win 2/3 and the Twins lose 2/3 this weekend we are IN.

      There’s going to be a lot of healthy discussion about how to spend our money. MLBTraderumors has already started. Here’s the O’Hearn paragraph from their article about picking up options( on Jimenez’ option, they said”haha no”)

      The tiebreakers are weird because we could get 2 wins vs Tigers/Twins and clinch the playoff spot but could also get 3 wins and not make the playoffs.

      Nope.  Too many years.  I agree with giving him the QO and letting him walk.  I might entertain a 2-3 year deal, but that's the most I'd go.

      Yes I should have said by inter division we hold tie breaker on both if head to head.  3 way tie we would finish ahead of Tigers but behind Twins but still get in.   So the magic number is really 5 but with asterisk on that because it could be 4 with the right 2 wins vs Tigers or Twins.

      Who is going to end up the best career catcher? Wieters or Rutschmann.

      Whatever seems to be possibly ailing Adley, IMO looks like it only affects him when hitting.  He sprang up outta his crouch like a Jack-in-the-Box and hustled for that foul pop/bunt yesterday and did not look like he was suffering any ill effects. But what do I know?  🤔🤣
