Does Volpe's Surgery Bury His Blunders—Or Just the Yankees' Shortstop Hope?
Update: 2025-10-15
Description
BT and Sal dive into the fiery debate surrounding Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe's shoulder surgery after a rough season. While the surgery offers a potential explanation for his struggles, the hosts clash over whether the injury is a genuine excuse for three years of inconsistency, with one speaker declaring he won't "hear about the shoulder being the primary reason for his inconsistencies or his failures." The conversation quickly escalates to a searing critique of the Yankees' and Mets' analytical approach to team and staff building, including the Mets' recent coaching changes, which one host labels an "arranged marriage." The discussion centers on the flaws of being too "married to the analytics," questioning if a computer can replace a manager's "gut" feeling and calling for a focus on acquiring "better players" over "analytical guys."
