Social Media Reacts To Lineup

Here’s what people were saying about Friday’s lineup:
@ZGiven71084: “Okay this lineup is the best we can probably put together right now.”
Kevin Keneely: “Jacob Misiorowski has only allowed ONE run over his last eight starts. And this Braves offense ranks bottom-6 over the last five weeks”
@PhilNull: “Bottom of the order actually doesn’t look terrible, though facing Misiorowski, we are gonna have to really dig deep to have a chance here.”

@BeaneaterB: “I’d complain about this lineup, but the Miz is pitching and I don’t think it really matters. But we have to add a bat or two at the deadline.”
@ChoppinBravos: “This is absolute nightmare fuel. Dom hitting cleanup then 4 straight of- Riley, Yaz, Eli and Mateo. It’s not good Harris can’t go, it’s also not good they won’t IL him and it’s not good they are carrying Tellez. We went from this depth and roster is amazing to what do we do ! And fast.”
@ScottCampbell13: “What a lineup vs the best pitcher in baseball”
