I mean… I don’t know what he’s supposed to do? I don’t mean to sound like a Boone apologist, but it’s not his fault that the offense (and now the bullpen) has hit a wall. No matter what, he’s always going to back his own guys to the media—that’s the top reason he still has his job.

Offense hasn’t taken the next step (I was fooled by his postseason and his first few games of the season) and we have now seen his defense deteriorate (especially since the start of May)

Volpe will have his first year of being arbitration-eligible this winter… think the Yankees have to look in the mirror and decide if they really want to be paying him real money starting in ‘26

I think the Yankees lead baseball in catcher interferences since the start of the 2021 season (first full season with Tanner Swanson on the staff)

What’s he supposed to say? Sorry that Escarra stuck his glove out and then Weaver threw a fastball down the middle with the bases loaded?

It’s still 90% of his season! It matters, that’s just how numbers work!

You can “take out” the “take out” part and just use his last x amount of games then because it’s a large amount of a sample size to worry.

This is an extremely boomer take from me, but the Yankees’ offensive slide literally coincides with Aaron Judge being given his first day off of the season on June 12. 7 runs in their last 7 games and their season wRC+ has dropped from 129 to 120 in that span (.813 OPS to .781 OPS in that span).

If you take out Anthony Volpe’s hot start to begin the year where he hit .297/.366/.703 (1.069 OPS) with 4 HR in his first 9 games of the year, he’s hitting .224/.298/.372 (.670 OPS) with 4 HR over his last 63 games (since April 7). And he’s also been worth -3 DRS at SS over the last 7 weeks!
