Social Media On Rosario

Here’s what people have been saying about Rosario recently:

Greg Joyce (July 11): “As was the case last night, Ryan McMahon pinch hits for Amed Rosario as soon as the righty bulk pitcher relieves the lefty opener. Today its the third inning.”

Chris Kirschner (July 10): “Rosario is unplayable defensively”

Gary Sheffield Jr. (July 10): “I think we all knew this, but Rosario can’t play third base. That’s unreal over there. Bats look better today. I’ll take it.”

@mikedorb1 (July 10): “They need to DFA Rosario after tonight’s game. He is one of the worst defensive players in baseball. And he no longer can do the one thing he used to be able to do. Hit lefties. He serves no purpose on this team at all.”

@RandyinPO (July 10): “He’s going to play his way off the roster after the All-Star break. Terrible defensively.”
