Here’s what people were saying on social media:
@cai_rogers7: “Spencer Jones gets the start at DH for his MLB debut in Milwaukee tonight!! I am very excited to see Jones and he gets one of the hardest tests right off the bat, facing RHP Jacob Misiorowski”
Max Mannis: “Is the fact that Spencer Jones is DH’ing simply a product of the team having better defensive outfielders, or are they trying to showcase his bat while hiding his glove? A bit of both?”
@Thats_BB_Suzyn: “Calling it now. Spencer Jones is gonna ball out tonight.”
@risucci_rick: “2nd best defensive OF on the team playing DH, ok, I guess but why not get the most out of his callup?”
@Sjonesenjoyer: “Interesting jones is dhing. Would’ve liked him to play cf but okay! Play ball”
