Here’s what people were saying about the lineup:
@kyungsoolie: “pls take bregman out of cleanup im begging”
@PCA4FC: “Matt Shaw needs to play over Dansby Swanson.”
@bleacherbum099: “dansby back that’s a w.”
@todd1967: “Swanson over Shaw? Bring back Ross. Pathetic.”
@Zabojake: “Fully prepared for the loss, how many homers does the pitching allow tonight? 4? 5?”
@BHawk__KMZ: “Surely Bregman sitting in the clean-up spot wont go 0 for 5 and strikeout with RISP again”
@CubsWorld80: “Cubs lineup-game 1 vs COL: Dansby Swanson is back. No day off for Alex Bregman as he continues to hit cleanup for some ridiculous reason. Bregman leads MLB in runners LOB & is hitting .173 w/RISP. He has 19 RBI on the season which is last on the team for everyday starters #cubs”
@capihood: “I think Colorado is the right place to try and get guys like Nico, Swanson and Bregman going.”
