Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup:
@Miraj_Shah12: “Starting Jasson in RF in Fenway is a choice for sure”
@thejackhaskell: “JOSE CABALLERO IS NOT AN MLB LEFT FIELDER”
@josephsabin3: “Jasson should be in left with Jones in center Cody in right that is your best Fenway defensive outfield. Crochet isn’t starting there isn’t an excuse. Cabby can play short or second for all I care.”

@VaksNYC: “I genuinely don’t understand the obsession with putting Caballero in LF Also why call up Oswaldo if he’s not gonna play”
@HalfSick: “Goldschmidt has an insane .816 SLG against LHP. He should NOT be batting leadoff!”
@Seth_Price10: “Send Spencer Jones back down to AAA if you’re going to keep denying him the opportunity to develop”
