@TalkinYanks My notes:
- Goldschmidt and his .776 SLG against LHP should be in the middle of the order
- Jones needs ABs vs. lefties! He’s gonna be here a while. Let’s see what he’s got.
- Why is our starting SS playing 2B?
- Jazz getting punished for the ABS botch yesterday?
@TalkinYanks It was a nice story when he made the team... but the guy has done nothing at the professional level. Like... he's not even a minor league catcher.
@TalkinYanks@Enrique_Rojas1 Have there been rumors of this? Seems like a zero percent chance it would happen. I don't think the Yanks want to deal with Chapman again, and I don't think the Red Sox would want to trade their All Star closer to the Yankees.
@BelowAvgSport@TalkinYanks Trust me, I know what you mean. But Volpe is a special case. It's been 4 years. We know who he is. He needs to spend SIGNIFICANT time in the minors to see if he can figure something out. And him going on his 3 game hot streak and then turning back into a pumpkin won't help.
@TalkinYanks .832 OPS since May 1st (not including today). He feels like a way more complete hitter this year too. He's already surpassed his double and triple totals from last year.
@TalkinYanks Volpe OPS+ this year: 77 (doesn't include today)
Volpe OPS+ career: 83
He's not in a slump. This is who he is. We have a shortstop on the roster who is better at every facet of the game. There is zero reason for Volpe to ever get another start this year besides injury.
