@AnthonyGros13 Remember the Yankees "urgency" early in the season when they were winning? Now, we're the worst team in baseball over a 20 game stretch and apparently all the "urgency" has been used up lol
@pcdebol@SupaSped1@GrchyOldGzr@HendrickD82 I do think that if soccer went to Wegner offside it would make more sense. I’d also like to see them remove the red card auto next game suspension and instead make every red card subject to review for suspension. Intent and resulting injury matters I feel. That’s just me though.
@Alikareem2469@cdmusing@HendrickD82 Lol I don’t know what your definition of failing is but the NFL itself has 12 teams worth more than the highest worth soccer team, Real Madrid. I don’t think you truly understand the empire that is American football.
@DawgsandGolf@HendrickD82 That’s actually pretty funny lol. Fact is though they’re still worth less than every single NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL team and that’s not even accounting for the popularity of college football and college basketball and the advertising dollars they bring in. Too much competition for soccer
@HendrickD82@LG___1998 Lol you’re just a clown man. “Failing” lmao. Doesn’t matter who the Mayor is in NYC. If you live here you know that the only thing that runs this place is $$$.
@LG___1998@HendrickD82 Again, you miss the point. We are a strictly capitalist nation. That is our culture. If there is not enough ROI there is no point to invest. We have 6 other leagues/sports that make money hand over fist. Why invest into soccer when those are available and make you money?
@cdmusing@HendrickD82 You can't compare the World Cup to MLS. Americans also widely tune into the Olympics but everyday gymnastics, swimming, and curling aren't getting much play. Obviously soccer is bigger than those but the investment needed to be a better soccer nation is larger than the ROI.
@cdmusing@HendrickD82 Technically, yes. But what is the incentive to do all of this when the sport does not generate the type of revenue, in this particular country, that would justify the investment? The core problem here is Americans simply don't like the sport enough to do what needs to be done.
@CMacWFAN Chris, we all know where this is going. You can't strike out at this rate and win meaningful games in October. We're bottom 5 in K rate. It's embarrassing that it's been this way forever and we've done nothing to fix it. This team ain't it.
@YankeesStats@ChrisKirschner No, we're talking about the fact that he's not a major league player. If you want to player lawyer for Volpe, write up a brief. Can't wait to see what evidence you conjure up that says otherwise.
@Keith_McPherson Of course it matters. It's important to make this an issue because the only way this minor league clown gets sent down is if the Yankees think they need to protect their little boy from the fans. Clearly his inability to hit or field isn't enough to send him down for Cashman.
@YankeesStats@ChrisKirschner In 2026 he's had 129 AB, is hitting .240 with a .338 OBP and .664 OPS which is just above his career .662 OPS. He also has 1HR in 129AB. Basically, he's drawn a few more walks this year. Bravo! Not close to a major league player.
@BronxBomberBall I'm sorry but your SS having a career OBP of under .300 is a major major issue and is one of the biggest problems on this team. The issue for years has been hitting and the Yankees continue throwing minor league players in the lineup who can't hit a lick.
@rationalyankee He has a .224 career average and .287 career OBP. Anything happening to Volpe right now is on the Yankees for continuing to roll him out at SS when it's beyond clear at this point that he is not a Major League baseball player.
@tartanmarvel89 You losers and cowards allowed Hitler to take over your continent before you were bailed out. You allowed an entire Holocaust to take place under your nose because you were too scared to get involved. Sit in your dome of cowardice and enjoy your soccer!
@HendrickD82 No it's not. This is America. This is capitalism. Money drives everything. What effect does it have on this country if we're never good enough to win the World Cup? Minimal. You want a better system? The soccer needs to start generating way more money in this country.
