It is still amazing that Tony has yet another coherent lineup that features a degree of consistency. What the fuck was wrong with him for dozens and dozens and dozens of game to this point that has changed?

The "we hate everything he does" explanation is the front office forced him to or he sobered up. 

A "let's assume he isn't a total idiot" explanation is he was trying to shake things up with guys underperforming. Fisk once credited Tony with helping him break out of a slump by moving him up to 2nd in the order. We also don't know what minor injuries they were hiding.

I know it's fashionable to blame Hahn, but he has to work within the contract framework that Jerry will allow at any given time. 

IMO the blame is with ownership putting handcuffs on the FO, scouting dept and other areas that would help the team. 

If Jerry doesn't want to invest in sabes, advance scouts, long term deals, and in the international market then Hahn and Paddy are hamstrung by it

Jerry is an awful person and needs to be gone, but it's not his fault that Hahn thought Harrison would be an upgrade over Leury/Mendick.

Well at least I now know he can actually swing a bat.

Haseley has no chance against Javier

Seen enough of Adam he is useless 

Who was the last person to wear a golden Sombrero on their first game up from AAA?  Just asking for a friend.

Okay, one of the only hitters I have faith in, please give me a little something here

Did I hear the announcers right when they mentioned Kopech having to pitch through the pain the rest of the season with his knee?

ok we get it, he hit a home run and hes happy, can we move on now?

If I ever catch anybody's first home run, anything less than a fully stocked 200 level suite (with nobody carding) for a Friday night home game with fireworks after the game is not getting the ball.

Right idea by Vaughn, just off the end of the bat.

Damn thought he crushed that off the bat....nope can of corn.

 

Luis is getting closer

And Robert hit that about 500 feet foul. Just in front of it. Sheesh.

Just a little early damn

Weak ! The approach hasn't been terrible tonight.  

Alright ready the little pudgy teenager got some scrub's first homer. Enough of this shit

Are the fireworks so you can get out of the lot easier with a lot of people staying? That's usually my plan.
