Social Media On Saturday’s Lineup
Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup on Saturday:
@yfatheart: “What are you doing Ramos batting third guy has two hits as a Yankee so lets reward him and jazz again playing second with no hustle don’t play Rosario or cabellero makes sense lol”
@gallagwar: “This organization’s complete inability to create a sensible lineup is absolutely astounding. I understand that this is a sad collection of hitters, but you simply don’t have to put them in an order where the worst hitters get the most ABs.”
@Daniel05316359: “Ramos at 3rd!?!?!? Bellinger PLEASE COME BACK!!”
