Social Media Reacts To Lineup
Here’s what people were saying about the lineup:
@YankeesFanEarl: “Why is Spencer Jones hitting higher in the lineup than Garcia lol”
@MaxMannis: “Quad lefties to start it off wow”
Eric Hubbs: “Like the shakeup. I can’t have Ramos near the top of the lineup. This is a start.”
@nykrefs: “0 reason why George Lombard jr is batting 9th makes no sense imo”
@dom_n_ckfox: “First time seeing some new Yankees tonight at the stadium, can’t wait to witness Lombard Jr.!”
@roberto71111773: “Heliot is not doing the job, for what we traded him for. His overswing instead of just making contact with the ball. Keep rolling guy, cause Belli and Judge are not so far away.”
