Social Media Reacts To Lineup
Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup:
John Denton: “Masyn Winn is out of the starting lineup a second straight game tonight against the #Phillies.”
@danw4673: “Going to need a couple players who normally don’t produce to have their best game for the Cardinals to have a chance.”
@rforlines4: “1. Winn being out after getting hot scares me, hoping he is ok 2. Baez is going yard 3. Gotta absolutely take 2/3 4. Dobbins is a big game pitcher, get it done”
@NormSanders: “Seems more like one of Tony La Russa’s old getaway day lineups after winning the first two games of a series – not a lineup for a team within close range of a playoff spot. IMO Burleson and Winn need to be in unless battling undisclosed ailments #stlcards”
@MizzouPlzWin: “Biggest series of the year JUST WIN”
