arent trying to be funny or anything like that but you’d understand where we are coming from if you lived and saw what we saw coming up. It’s something that can’t really be explained and expected of an “outsider” to understand. Again not trying to be funny but it is what it is. And maybe we are wrong, but my gut tells me otherwise.
I think that’s agreed upon. Volpe hasn’t been terrible. If you look at his total season’s numbers, you prob thinks he has. But again since that change:
That’s more than serviceable. The problem is, in our lineup devoid of actual production, when he doesn’t produce it just looks bad.
If we had any kind of player development at the big league level, he would have corrected it sooner, as well as other guys in that lineup. Our player development has always been bad and usually why prospects of ours, or guys we trade for that don’t pan out, leave and seem to flourish elsewhere.
Oh I agree. They need to bring up everyone to do that. That’s also why they played opposite or by each other at Triple A. I know they gave Peraza plenty of work at 2nd and at 3rd, which they should be doing now. That may mean we need to see one at 2nd and life without Torres even though I’d hate to lose him, but may be able to acquire some kind of depth from outside with him rather than throw money at a bandaid.
Volpe was 21 last year.
This is a really dumb excuse for a racist take. If the Yankees had a long history of pandering to the Italian community in NY, ok maybe you have a point. They don't. In this case, they are prioritizing their top prospect in a very long time. That shouldn't be a surprise at all, regardless of skin tone or heritage.
Not ignoring data, you and the Yankees are obviously ignoring data. So Everson and Wells is vibes? Peraza last year was vibes? Volpe shortcomings this year is vibes?!? Nah B this all data, Numbers, but just because you played minor league Ball you think whatever you think is gospel. You thought Gallo no matter how bad he was he was good because analytics told you.
You have no idea about NY and what goes on behind the scenes and it shows
I completely get it. But I’m just confused on how making a statement on favoritism leads to it being a racist comment. I was just using Volpes overall season as an example and what they’ve done with Peraza and a few others. And dam don’t even know how you did itVolpe’s shortcomings were from player developmental at the big league level.
I played minor league ball for the team we’re currently losing to

My bad, I didn't know you had the behind the scenes info on the Yankees. By all means, please give the ling list of Italian players the Yankees have favored to pander to NY Italians.You have no idea about NY and what goes on behind the scenes and it shows
Bc you literally said he was being favored bc of his race.I completely get it. But I’m just confused on how making a statement on favoritism leads to it being a racist comment.

I Guess you still don’t understand that Hals number 1 priority is all about making money and putting people in seats and selling merchandise.
I didn't think "Yes I'd prefer a highly educated person to run a billion dollar business over Joe from the mechanic shop that didn't finish 10th grade." was a hot take but apparently it was.
If you'd said "I don't get why they are giving Volpe such a long leash but not Peraza and the others, cool. When you literally blamed it on his race, that's when it veers to...
If your basis is bc of their skin tone? Yes. That's literally the definition. If a decision is made bc of race, its racist.
Just to clear things up I don’t think Hal and Cash are racist but I stand by my Volpe thoughts and some people understand and some don’t.
So you think they are making racist decisions but aren't actually racist.
I think they are making business decisions. Every decision doesn’t have to fit in a box.
