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

    • They are a bunch of simp libtards now, you'd fit in well
    • Trade for trout while his is stock is low. Bit of a gamble, but he's a leader that needs a change of scenery. He is our RF/ DH middle of the order RH bat to replace santander  If we can keep him healthy, he might be the veteran presence we need. We have the salary space for his contract 
    • I'm rooting against the Yankees this weekend. Hasn't gotten close to that point for me. The 2016 WC game was the worst because of the Britton situation. The 2014 Royals series was awful. I don't know that this loss was even as bad as last year's vs the Rangers where it felt like we could go all the way. This was just a wild card team vs a wild card team that could go either way, and some bounces didn't go our way and young players couldn't handle the pressure. It's best-of-3, it happens.
    • I'm older than most here. The pain of being a sports fan in Baltimore in 1969 make this year's playoff sweep seem trivial. All three of our local pro teams had great regular seasons. The Colts were a sure thing to beat the upstart Jets in Super Bowl III. No way the mighty Orioles would lose to the Mets in the World Series. And I thought for sure the Bullets might beat the Knicks in the NBA semifinals. Talk about long lasting pain ...
    • Come on man, that's a crock. I've been as frustrated as anyone watching Adley's approach at the plate and his uppercut swing. But to say he's the kind of guy that makes excuses is way out of line. I have no doubt Adley will work on getting his body, swing and mind right in the off-season. 
    • I was given three free tix to see them in Durham in '23. They oversold the tix, ie. the seats were not assigned, first come / first serve,  the line to get in was ridiculously long, and we had to stand in the miserable heat and humidity of a NC summer.  Worst baseball in person experience of my life. Just goofy from the little I got to see in the three person deep standing room only crowd. We left after three innings or whatever they call it in their version of the game. Way too loud, too. Just too much BS going on. It was like the baseball version of drinking WAY too much gin and fruit punch and the wild colors give you the bed spins.
