Yankees THAT WAS NUTS! (Yankees News 2026)

That was absolutely insane. Anthony Volpe, his redebut comes on up, has one of the best games of his career. There is no doubt about that, that Anthony Volpe came up and had one of his best games of his major league career. Now, as I've said it, I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again. I have been incredibly, incredibly, incredibly hard on it, on, on Anthony Volpe throughout his major league career. I just have been, it's, it's been probably you as well. It's been incredibly frustrating to watch him at times and it's not even his fault to tell the Yankees organization kind of treated him. They didn't send him down when they should have sent him down. Well, they finally did. And then he goes down to triple a, that lights a fire under his butt and 37 games. He hits 11 homers, I believe that I know he was up after he came back. I know he was there after he came back from an injury so that he had a home run before he came up to the big league roster. But then during his demotion, I believe he had 10 homers or one had a 1000 OPS played really well. Yesterday's game going three for four and he hit a grand slam and I get it. It was against the Colorado Rockies, but I don't care. That doesn't mean anything to me. He comes up, hits big league pitching, goes three for four, hits a grand slam and he knew that ball was out. He had such confidence that that ball was out and he, I think Anthony Volpe feels that he has something to prove. And of course he does. Of course he does. You don't think the kids, 25 you don't think he knows what we're saying, what the Yankees fans are saying. Josh Donaldson was talking about it, how, how the players know what the fans are saying and how the front office knows what the fans are saying. So that must, that has to be just immense pressure for these guys. Immense pressure when it comes down to it. Anthony Volpe coming in, playing second base, going three for four and his first game back. It's called building momentum. Lombard went over four, right? Dominguez went over four. We're going to talk about him in a few seconds, but Volpe three for four. Awesome game by him. Incredibly happy for him. And hopefully the Yankees can finally bear fruit when it comes to Anthony Volpe because it's been quite a while that he's been up here, that we've been seeing him on the major league roster with very inconsistent play. And that is on the Yankee organization. 1000%. It's on them. It's on them. They should have sent him down halfway through his first season in 2023 and they never did that. So I got to this point and he comes in, performs now. Well hopefully he performs against the Mets at the recording of this video. The Yankees haven't played the Mets yet. They're playing in a couple of hours. I apologize. I got to recording this a little later than I should have, but I still wanted to get something out today just to talk Yankees. I still needed to get something out today. But Anthony Volpe, incredibly, incredibly proud of. I'm incredibly proud of him and I'm excited to see how well he's going to continue to play. This kid has had, had more than a cup of coffee. He was up here for three and a half years before being sent down his most recent time. Anthony Volpe crushed it and I'm hoping for his sake he's able to carry it throughout this Met series into the twin series, into the diamondback series, into the Tampa Bay series, into Baltimore, then into the playoffs. By the way, the Yankees are close in clinching a postseason berth. The Yankees can clinch a postseason berth with wins today and tomorrow versus the Mets. So this is if they clinch a berth tomorrow, they could clinch a postseason berth today or tomorrow. Well, if they have to win, they have to win today and tomorrow against the Mets to clinch. But then they also need losses by the blue Jays today and tomorrow. And then they need one loss by the Rangers today or tomorrow with the blue Jays. They have to lose both games today and tomorrow, but the Rangers only have to win, lose one game. That, that, that, that was a lot. I'm just going to show it for you on screen. In fact, I already did. So I'm sorry for all that word salad. That really wasn't that great. And listen, the Yankees, they're already in it. There's just no shot. They would have to, they would have to, a lot would have to happen for the Yankees to not make the playoffs. Like a lot would have to, a lot would have to go wrong for them to not make it. Now, here's something I want to talk. I never talk about other platforms, other creators. I never do. It's just not something I do. We're all doing our own thing. We all love the Yankees. It's so much damn fun. There's a, a Yankee channel account out there that I had respect for. I liked them. Never really spoke to anybody over there, but I liked them. I'm not going to say who they are. If you're on X, go find out, go. You can see it all over there, but there, it seems like they're stealing what people are saying on X. They're stealing tweets basically. And they're posting it as if it's, as if it's their own. And this is a company that's doing pretty good. They have other outlets. They have, they cover the giants too. So if you guys know who I'm talking about, if you're listening to this, I'm just going to say this, tighten it up. Like, cause that's insane. You did this with somebody else. You apologize to them. And then now you did it again. Verba. It's verbatim. It's wild. That's how you lose credibility. How you do it by stealing people's work. And I know those guys are bright over there. So that's what makes it so damn confusing. You gotta give credit when you're doing this stuff. It's wild. I actually went to, I mean, you don't need a journalism degree to know all this stuff, but that's what I majored in. I majored in all this stuff. And they have some bright minds over there. It's just crazy how it just keeps happening. Happened once. Okay. I mean, not even happened once. It can't happen. Why? I just wanted to talk about X. I just feel like it's crazy. It's crazy that it keeps happening over there, but go check it out on X. It's you'll find it. You should anyway, if you don't, I apologize. But Anthony Volpe, redebuting playing played really well. Hopefully that carries over cause we need it to, we need him to. And I wonder too, I wonder if it does carry over. Right. And if he just hits like three 50 to end the season, I wonder if what that could mean for jazz. If jazz is healthy, ready to come back for the playoffs, does Anthony Volpe loses spot or does Anthony Volpe take over a short stop? If Lombard isn't playing well, like I gets confusing at that point because you didn't expect Volpe to do this. If I'm really jumping ahead, I'm just, I'm on the Volpe train right now. I love it. I love an underdog story. I'm all of a sudden he was. And I feel like a lot of people in New York feel the same way. It was really frustrating watching him struggle. But at some points I just, I felt so bad for the kid and they never, never tempted the idea of sending him down and they finally did. And he responded really well. Now Dominguez breaking my heart. Jason, I don't get it. I really don't get him. This kid never, he doesn't strike out. And I love that about him. He's a good offensive player fee. If he got every day at bats, it would start to click and he would start producing. He would be, he's going to be really good. He's going to be a really good ball player. Still very young, but his mishaps in the field, like what are you doing, brother? Even playing this game at a high level, pretty much your entire life. I think the world of Jason, I think he has tremendous, tremendous talent. He could be, I think so high of him. He could be a 30, 30 guy, 40, 40 someday. That's how highly I think of him. Now I could be wrong, but that's how highly I think of him. But his defense is that's her. It's terrible. I don't know why it keeps happening. I don't get it. Guys. Listen, let's go Yankees. Thank you so much for supporting the channel as of late. Things are every September, things cool off a little bit. It just, it happens. They pick back up post season. And then November off seasons is crazy. I love the off season. Hopefully we have it. We have an off season to cover this year, hoping, but I just want to thank you guys. If you're still around, you're you're listening at this point in the video, leave a comment. I want to know if you're still around and I just want to thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And all you have to say is these words, Joe, you're welcome.
