Social Media Reacts To Lineup Without Jones
Here’s what people were saying about Jones being out of the lineup:
@SteveDietrich4: “I don’t understand why they won’t play Waldo and Jones was the only one that hit yesterday”
@TheStrikeZone4: “Caballero playing 2B is better than him playing LF. Why is he not playing SS? Stop messing with the infield! Also, would have liked to seen Jones in the lineup.”
@JonTonnessen: “Play Spencer Jones. Win for a change. Let’s go Yankees”
@JKBOGEN: “Ahh yes Spencer Jones was only one of 3 hits yesterday and looked good against Tolle but sure lets continue to baby him. Way to go Boonie! Brilliant”
