Here’s what people have been saying about the team’s lineup on Sunday:
@LombardIsKing_: “I’m fine with George getting rest but why not give it to him against the Twins rather than an important game like this”
@Keith_McPherson: “No rest day for Judge. Ya’ll cool w/ the lineup?”
@Barishn22: “GLJ day off. Judge day off tomorrow.”
@iHitSplits: “Austin Wells catching all 3 games because they don’t have a viable 2nd catching option”
@PinstripePress5: “Nice to see Lombard getting a day off. Important for young players, something Volpe didn’t get the luxury of his first year.”
