Social Media Reacts To Murphy Being Out Of Lineup

Here’s what people were saying on social media:
@ChoppinBravos: “Drake Baldwin has already missed a month with a fatigue injury. If he goes down again his season is likely done. I think he’s had one day off since returning and still PH. He is also in a slump. It feels like a prime time to start letting him rest while also trying to get Murphys bat going.”
@WilliesWater: “Would love for them to give Murphy a few games in a row and let Baldwin stay at DH”

@badamsufl: “As someone who prefers Murphy catching. I like pairing Drake up with Holmes after what they combined for in his last start. Hope they found something and he can pitch like that again.”
@Tfreema94181255: “You need to play Murphy . He needs to get his timing back. But he is worth is weight in gold behind the plate.”
