I say this, then I witness him hit a double, steal third on a failed hit and run (the batter struck out), and score on a SF which really shouldn't have been deep enough but Volpe scampered home anyway.
He manufactured that run all by himself. Every run these days is big for the New York Yankees.
There is no doubt that he has great potential, particularly as a team sparkplug. But he cannot keep flirting with the Mendoza Line. Believe it or not, I have been rooting for this guy all year long. I still do, despite what I said.
