Social Media Reacts To Lineup
Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup on Tuesday:
@braves2928: “I like the changes”
@snelson_2215: “Drake needs an actual day off and Murphy should catch every game possible. It’s not that complicated.”
@CarasikS: “Love them finally switching it up and moving Baldwin to 4th. I didn’t love Baldwin hitting 1st.”
@calfenn_: “Probably the make or break start for AJ, it wouldn’t be terrible to just transition him to the bullpen as a multi inning arm that throws every two days”
@BryanHarris003: “Riley continuing to bat behind ozzie is a choice.”
@edwardharris251: “Albies should be batting 9th in this lineup. He is beyond terrible against righties and Dubón should be batting lower. Just stick Riley behind Baldwin and hope for the best.”
