Social Media Reacts To Monday’s Lineup
Here’s what people were saying about Monday’s lineup:
@tommyownzall: “Looking for a Spencer Jones homer.”
@willNYYanks: “Spencer Jones needs to hit a blast and go off on a hot run. Another is Jasson Dominguez, when he comes back, he’d better look like a Martian before Aaron Judge comes back, because if fans think that Volpe is the modern newest Yankee bust, think again.”
@Sjonesenjoyer: “Let jones get ulimited playing time and send down Volpe”
@BranBranly81: “Can we keep Spencer in the lineup! I he needs the at bats!”
Jones was picked in the 1st round of the 2022 MLB Draft.
The Yankees (and their fans) are expecting a lot from him over the next few years.
