Social Media Reacts To Lineup
Here’s what people were saying about Wednesday’s lineup:
@InvestSportsInc: “This isn’t normal. I don’t know who’s making these lineup decisions, but constantly forcing Volpe in there, benching Spencer after a great game, and not playing Cabby at SS is not putting the best team on the field. #Yankees know it. The decision-making is awful.”
@NYsportSufferer: “Sweep these bums and it’ll be the start to the greatest day ever in NY”
@ChiefTeef8: “Lets start off the day w good vibes and a sweep”
