Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup:

@BanchaAP: “Stop playing HSK. Mateo does not deserve to be benched every other day for a startup SS getting 20 mil for a 1 year deal.”

@MtnDude1020: “He needs to play. He didn’t have any spring training. He absolutely has to get the reps in so he can get his timing back. You don’t get out of funks by sitting on the bench every day”

@secpharmd: “If we are using Eli White we need Mateo in the lineup”

@LeClai70710: “Why Kim? That experiment should be over by now!”

@ChoppinBravos:Michael Harris has earned the right to stick in the 2 hole even against LHP so you gotta love it ! Great to see Ronnie get half a day off his feet. And of course HSK gets another chance to try and get the bat going!!”

@Dizzle541: “yikes… that bottom of the order is rough.”
