Here’s what people were saying about their lineup:
@SleeperMets: “Mets lineup update; – Mark Vientos will replace Jared Young – Eric Wagaman will DH with AJ Ewing getting a rest. – Vidal Brujan will play SS Makes sense especially with lefty Martin Perez on the mound.”
@metsbatflip1: “No Young, Ewing, or Baty today with the Mets facing a lefty. Torrens getting a day off. All will be available to pinch hit at some point!”
@DouglasRowan: “Fireable lineup from Mendoza lol”
@MidnightBulFrog: “Actually get a big win last night and they are going with their “day after clinching the division” lineup? Why do they do this?”
