Here’s what people were saying about Wednesday’s lineup:
Daniele Franceschi: “Guerrero Jr.’s stay in the leadoff spot was short-lived. One-off occurrence – for now, at least. George Springer draws back in at leadoff. Ernie Clement is at SS. Andres Gimenez took a 96 MPH fastball off his arm last night, but perhaps just a routine off day.”
@love2breal22: “I liked last nights line up better – they were finally using their brains on what works best”
@Prominent_Jaay: “The lineup, I like. I’m terrified about Max, though”
@mlbjess: “there’s so much to unpack here and i couldn’t be happier!!! i get to see ernie at short and batting 3rd 🤭 i get to see mcadoo play finally!!! aaaaaaand i get to see THE max scherzer pitch !!!! 🥹🥹🥰😩😅🫶🏻”
