Social Media Reacts To Giants Calling Up Porter
Here’s what people were saying on social media:
@Giants__Update: “The Giants are calling up C Logan Porter to fill Patrick Bailey’s roster spot. Porter joins Jesus Rodriguez and Eric Haase on the active roster. Could be a temporary move until Daniel Susac rejoins the team.”
@FattyBarrels: “A few days on the big league club until Susac is back.”
@C2Cbsbl: “This makes no sense, Susac due up in like a day means you are either cutting Porter or Haase Monday They lost 2 catchers in 24 hours essentially Completely eviscerated their catcher depth”
@TonyAj61: “If you really liked catchers who can’t hit…”
