MLB Fans React To Kim’s Performance
Here’s what people were saying about Kim on social media:
@Vinsmoke1P: “I don’t understand why Kim Ha Seong is in the lineup… buddy should be optioned or released from the ball club… he’s a momentum killer for braves lineup… he’s not a MLB material anymore, one and done type of hype”
@braves2430: “Braves have to bench Kim he is horrible”
@steverocks2020: “@Braves if you want to win a World Series you need to get someone to replace Kim on the team. Literally an automatic out”
@BreedloveJack: “Braves didn’t want to win once they put kim in the line up. It’s an automatic L if he’s in.”
@billhullatl: “I understand they are trying to get Kim going but there has to be an end to giving him starts. And Riley should have sat until Tuesdays game.”
@QMbfXnR0aw58446: “DFA Kim already! A $20M fraud who is nothing but a liability to this team”
@joe_miller75: “Why was Kim ever allowed on the field?”
