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.

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.

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.

Bat flips are great.

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.

Just hit his second homerun of the night (4) tonight against Jersey Shore. Nice looking swing

Didn't see the first one but the second was a rocket down the left field line.

Crushed a high and inside fastball way over the LF fence. Not pulled as much as the 2nd, but still that way.

[Just Regular]

I guess as both have the two HR games this is the spot to observe that though I think I've seen Mayo give quotes Kris Bryant is the pro he hopes to be like, the other Cub corner IF champ Anthony Rizzo is the one who went to the same high school as him.

Homered again (5) to left center. Another nice swing and long homerun.

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

Another night, another Mayo HR (6).
