Social Media Reacts To Lineup For Game 3
Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup on Wednesday:
@ForzaNY22: “I need Anthony Volpe back in this lineup”
@hyse: “Why not try volpe or jazz at 3rd? Give yourself options in the playoffs since McMahon isn’t the guy that should have a guaranteed spot. Need Caballero to be able to come off the bench and steal a base.”
@LeorKushner: “what happened to volpe at 3B lmao”
Max Mannis: “First start in left field for Caballero since June”
Gary Phillips: “Not a surprise, but a different look to the #Yankees’ lineup today:”
@DanRantz99: “Lombard 2 hole. Now we’re talking. Break up the lefties and his profile fits 1-2 hole”
@TheSouthGAJohn: “Great day to try Jazz out at 3B”
