Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup on Wednesday:

@JinbeiSeaKnight: “Why don’t the Giants want JHL to bat lead off? He gets on base just so the bottom of the order does nothing.”

@HarryBerezin: “Bericoto and Cox that’s interesting. I didn’t think you were allowed to put bench players in the starting lineup.”

@iliveinayurt: “I don’t understand how Vitello keeps hitting Lee so low in the lineup. Malpractice”
