I think Mayo will be a big star. I hope the Orioles keep him and give him a chance.

On Coby Mayo:

"…already producing above-average exit velocity data in 2022. Their gains this season pushed them into double-plus raw power territory."

Also, John Rhodes led the minors in 90th percentile EV gainers. https://t.co/K6pLehzOYD

Even in an @Orioles system that has become a pipeline of young hitting talent, Coby Mayo’s season stood out.

He quickly adjusted to upper-level pitching at Triple-A @NorfolkTides without losing a sense of who he was as a hitter.https://t.co/E5f0onhvPa

Gunnar Henderson in AAA as a 21 yr old (2022)
.288/.390/.504 (.894 OPS) 38:78 BB:K in 65 games

Coby Mayo in AAA as a 21 yr old (2023)
.267/.393/.512 (.905 OPS) 42:62 BB:K in 62 games

I think it's possible that both Mayo and Jackson Holliday begin 2023 on the O's OD roster.

More on terrible Republican gerrymadering in North Carolina

The GOP will pick up 3 or 4 seats in a state that is close to even. The governor can’t veto the gerrymandering which was aided by a Republican-majority state Supreme Court.

North Carolina’s new congressional district lines have changed a fair, 50-50 map into one that could elect as many as 11 Republicans and just 3 Democrats. Here’s how state lawmakers did it: https://t.co/MB8UzOMKRO

What North Carolina's new congressional map looks like.

NC voted for Trump 50% to 49%, but map is drawn so that 10 of 14 districts will have gone for Trump.

Dems are packed into 3 districts that gave Biden 73%, 75%, & 68%; plus a swing 51/49 district. https://t.co/cU8P1wceea pic.twitter.com/IyXU3sqtSZ

the GOP just made North Carolina into what it's done to Wisconsin for 10+ years: create an eternal Republican hold on power, effectively shielded from elections.

in fact, it's Wisconsin on steroids: NC GOP is now highly likely to win veto-proof majorities & govern as they will. https://t.co/pYhKNyZPuC

North Carolina Republicans passed new congressional and state legislative maps Wednesday that could flip three or four U.S. House seats while easing a path for the party to hold onto veto-proof majorities over state legislation. https://t.co/mowDrhvJ12

The American Right is fully committed to a fundamentally anti-democratic project, and the Republican Party has a comprehensive strategy to put it into practice.

The brutal gerrymanders would transform the current 7D-7R delegation into as lopsided as an 11R-3D breakdown.

"The new North Carolina maps are even worse than many feared, pursuing partisan advantage with greater audacity and precision than any gerrymander in recent history." – Prof. Asher D. Hildebrandhttps://t.co/tPfll4CEQu

The new North Carolina budget significantly curtails access to the state's public records and erodes the public's ability to challenge redistricting maps.

This is a monumental change for the worse.https://t.co/lYPz6V6JHq

The economy is better than people think

Unemployment is near record lows, inflation is coming down, and we just had a quarter of gangbusters GDP growth.
But consumers are about as negative about the economy today as they were during stretches of the Great Recessionhttps://t.co/6AdXd97CIJ pic.twitter.com/p5CdVa55iL

"The U.S. economy is doing far better than public perceptions suggest," @JRubinBlogger writes.

Maybe it's time to recognize the strength of the country’s economic recovery and signs that prosperity might be shared more widely than it has been in the past. https://t.co/YpiXSYbKzR
