Perhaps the biggest series on the MLB slate this weekend is a four-game set between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves.

This series has major NL East implications, and both teams are rolling with their ace (Chris Sale vs. Christopher Sanchez) in the series opener.

Before the Braves game on Friday, the Phillies announced their lineup, which features Alec Bohm.

There are some notable fan reactions to the decision.

Here is the full Philadelphia Phillies lineup for 9/4 against the Atlanta Braves, per @UnderdogMLB: 

Phillies 9/4: “K. Schwarber DH T. Turner SS B. Harper RF L. Arraez 2B A. Bohm 1B E. Sosa LF B. Stott 3B J. Realmuto C D. Hill CF C. Sánchez SP”

Here are some social media reactions to Alec Bohm:

@russmahrt: “Harper doesn’t trust Alec Bohm to be productive at all. It was obvious for a long time and even last week Harper tried stealing home with 2 outs and Bohm batting because he felt it was a better option than letting Bohm try to get a hit.”
Despite a lot of recent criticism surrounding Alec Bohm, he has performed much better for the Phillies in August and now into September.
@Hector394888836: “I wonder if this is almost a must win game”
@PhilliesJake: “Auto loss with those power rangers unis on”
In other Alec Bohm news before the game, a report surfaced that his multi-million-dollar lawsuit against his parents has been settled.
@TJRunsty: “Let’s start this series STRONG!”

Alec Bohm has been an everyday player for the Philadelphia Phillies this season in what is a contract year for the 30-year-old infielder.

Over 133 games, Bohm is batting .246 with 14 home runs, 23 doubles, and an OPS+ of 85.

While most of his offensive marks are down this season, Don Mattingly still trusts Bohm in the middle of the order, especially given his knack for the RBI. Bohm has driven in 77 runs across 492 at-bats this season.
