Anthony Volpe’s Yankees Comeback Proves Critics Right
About this episode
The episode discusses Anthony Volpe's impressive return to the Yankees and the implications of his performance on the team's management decisions.
Anthony Volpe returns with a grand slam and five RBIs, but Evan Roberts sees his breakout as proof the Yankees mishandled him for years. Sending Volpe down, forcing him to earn his way back and adding defensive versatility may have finally unlocked the player the Yankees kept waiting for. Evan, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether one huge game is enough to believe Volpe has truly changed and whether his hot bat could keep Jazz Chisholm out of the lineup. Plus, Nolan McLean gets his chance to prove himself against the Yankees as the Subway Series puts the Mets rookie directly in the New York spotlight.
