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

@SFGiantsGuy_: “Not a coincidence this team plays better when Adames hits in the bottom third of the order or actually isn’t even in the line-up”

@nbaWatts: “I’ve tried to latch onto Adames as my favorite Giant but seeing him bat above JHL & Eldridge most days just kills me. The fact I was shocked that Willy, a veteran & alleged clubhouse leader, had the poise to draw a walk last night to extend the 9th inning rally is a tough look”

@JayAreaTakes: “Why does Eldridge hit behind Adames? Feel like he’s leading off every inning because of it.”

@wolfman5469: “My only problem with the lineup is why do they continue to hit Adames behind their most dangerous hitter? If I’m a pitcher I walk Devers every time up”
