Social Media Reacts To Lineup

Here’s what people were saying about the lineup:

@BobbyMilone29: “Schuemann in CF?…..the day they sent down Jones LOL For Jones sake I hope he gets traded this July If they think Schuemann is a better CF than Jones, trade Jones this deadline”

@The_Bleacherss: “You just can’t have Volpe batting 5th on a serious Major League Baseball team. The 5-9 on this team is embarrassing.”

@GregMazzo21: “Now tell me why Caballero isn’t in the lineup at shortstop? He had a good game last night and Volpe is back in there. The sense of urgency with this team is extremely overrated from the perceptive that people thought the Yankees had that this year. Utterly ridiculous.”
