Social Media Reacts To Saturday’s Lineup

Here’s what people were saying about the lineup:
@WiseAndFly: “Cabby should be starting on a regular basis. Stop forcing Volpe into the lineup”
@JMC9787: “I don’t understand the process at short right now. You can’t keep rotating Volpe and Caballero. It’s not fair to either one. Commit to one or the other until they falter and show they can’t do it.”
@MissYankee: “Boooo! Volpe and Wells are back”
@KabukiUSMC: “I disagree with the method cabby had two hits last night and now he’s got to sit down again. They will do anything to accommodate volpe.”
@FrankStang96230: “Why did yankees use Jose Caballero that 1 game at 3rd base but haven’t since then?”
@d_mart97: “Play Cabby every day. I don’t care who has to sit but sitting Cabby once a series like he’s a catcher isn’t it.”
