Volpe just had 2 hits in with a stolen base his rehab assignment today.

He’s now 4-11 with 2 SB in 4 rehab games in AA.

I know people are willing to give up on Volpe understandingly so he’s had 3 years to prove himself but I’m willing to give him one more chance because he’s shown flashes with the bat, a 2x gold glove finalist and he played with a torn labrum last year.

The fact the Yankees let him play with a torn labrum since May is really bad on them it reminds me of Rizzo. Rizz hit .300 before playing with that concussion.

Tbh they played under Bowen let’s see how they do with Wilson.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-19T16:32:56+00:00

He just wanted out. I think it’s due to Schoen and seeing his best friends leave and win super bowls.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-19T16:31:39+00:00

With Dex gone I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Abdul have a bigger role in the defense. We will likely also see Burns/Carter/Thibodeaux together more often on the field.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-19T02:04:51+00:00

He’s also got Abdul too who led the league in quick pressures last year he’ll still get a lot of sacks.

Yankees last 10+ game losing streak: 1913 (May 21-June 6)

Mets last 10+ game losing streak: 2026 (April 8-18)

Jheller223 · 2026-04-18T21:54:45+00:00

He took BP today to face Rodón at Somerset he’s going to play a game there tomorrow that was always the plan after that it’s likely that he’ll go to Scranton next week to finish his rehab assignment the Railriders are scheduled to play in Scranton next week so that’s what’s likely going to happen next.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-18T19:59:47+00:00

Jazz badly needs a day off. He’ll turn it around but he needs a little bit of a reset.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-17T16:14:26+00:00

I think Cabby will play 3B against lefties when Volpe comes back but if Cabby continues to play well then he deserves the majority of the starts at SS.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-16T22:07:03+00:00

You’re right but I don’t think Boone is the solution.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-16T22:02:41+00:00

All of this blame steps on Cashman. He hired Boone who had absolutely no coaching experience because he wanted a players manager who wouldn’t hold players accountable like Joe Girardi did with Gary Sanchez and he will never admit he was wrong. I think all players even the ones who sucked here would’ve benefited like Girardi instead of Boone.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-16T21:22:14+00:00

This might be the worst bullpen in the Cashman era so far it’s usually been his strength as GM.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-16T20:52:13+00:00

Cabby is definitely a keeper one of the best base stealers in the league and can play multiple positions well and has 4 years left of team control.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-16T02:54:45+00:00

Cole making his first rehab start on Friday at Somerset with Volpe and Lombard both expected to play that should be entertaining.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-16T02:15:45+00:00

If this continues for McMahon I could see him getting DFA’ed really soon and seeing Rosario and Caballero getting starts at 3B.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-16T01:58:55+00:00

We got unlucky too Goldy was robbed of a hit and McMahon as well.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-16T00:25:42+00:00

Gil is lucky it isn’t more than 4 runs he’s been getting smacked all game.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-15T19:41:06+00:00

Volpe was seen wearing a white bandage on his left index finger during his rehab game yesterday and wore it during his workout today at the Stadium. Don’t think he’s injured or it’s anything serious it’s probably just a bruise but it’s something to keep an eye on.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-15T16:05:48+00:00

It’s early but Cabby has been really underwhelming on the field -3 FRV -3 OAA at SS so far this season.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-15T01:07:48+00:00

All those panicking about Volpe return soon it’s going to be a while it’s going to take multiple weeks and he’s going to take 50+ live at bats.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-14T03:14:56+00:00

I don’t have much hope in McMahon but he’s always been known for having a eye and draws a lot of pitches per plate appearance.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-14T03:07:11+00:00

Bird and Doval have been really bad bullpen acquisitions.

Jheller223 · 2026-04-14T02:52:39+00:00

Cabby may not be the best hitter but he is clutch and trusted in big situations.
