Social Media Reacts To Lineup
Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup:
@codywells1981: “Bregman out of the lineup so he bats Happ at cleanup? 🤦🏻♂️”
@GmanChi_: “Taillon’s here to ruin the great pitching weekend.”
@capihood: “Hopefully Bregman can refresh and finally bounce back. Cubs need his bat, it is remarkable they’re doing this good without his bat. Maybe bring him back lower in the lineup until he heats up… Bat him behind Happ and push Nico’s .645 OPS bat bat lower in the order”
@RomeOdunzeSZN: “Find a way to win a ballgame today”
@bleacherbum099: “no bregman they might score 10 runs.”
@Joe__Goes: “A sweep sounds great GO CUBS”
