the pitcher didn't back up the catcher, and instead just stood there on the mound. (They teach pitchers in Little League to back up the catcher on plays to the plate.)
Volpe looks like he’s going to bust out in a big way this year

My high school coach would have pulled him for that. Coach T was a fanatic about hitting cutoff men and backing up throws.

Stuff like that drives me crazy. It's baseball, not basketball/hockey/football where you're sprinting all the time, it takes no effort to jog behind the catcher just in case. (I guess I'm the nygiants16 of the Yankees threads.)
And turn them into quality relief arms is staggering. It's really a superpower. If Volpe can be a gap to gap OBP machine it really will make this offense.
pretty much convinced as he goes so goes the Yanks these next 5-10 years. Develop another star from the farm like we did Judge and we will win a WS soon enough. Volpe looks great. Totally looks sustainable and we already know his D is good enough at short.
Also, I am fascinated with Soto's at bats. His overall demeanor is just awesome. Love how he carries himself. There's good players who put up good or great numbers and then there are guys like Soto. It's not all numbers. We needed that presence here.

Cabrera said this in a recent interview for an Athletic article, and it hit me it’s no doubt a meaningful thing in the clubhouse - Soto being not only a stud and team leader, but comfortably bilingual in Spanish and English is a big deal for the young Spanish speaking Latin players on the team. Kinda bridges a gap for guys not yet be fully fluent in English
from the young guys knowing we have Dominguez, S. Jones, Peraza, Arias and several others getting closer to the bigs. May make the Yanks or may be traded for pitching but, with health, the prognosis is improved.
little 7 game road trip to begin the season is a blessing. Looking at the weather, and what the Mets are already dealing with (already one postponement, with more likely on the way this week), we could have have had a bunch of doubleheaders already on the future slate. For a team that where the pen is typically an advantage in a series, those stacked games would have mitigated their usage a bit.
100MPH on that K of Walker (first 1B with back to back 30HR / GG seasons since Teix).
let's go!
1-0 NYY
Oswaldo
Thats how you get a run with just one hit
Nelson is dancing in between rain drops, he's not gonna last long.
3-0

I'm with Cone, let the kid try for the win with one more batter.
Big picture, they need to change the 5-inning requirement for a win rule.
Without the reigning AL Cy Young winner.
With Aaron Judge rusty and ineffective at the plate.
No problem, 5-0. Wow. Hard to avoid giddiness at this start. Volpe showing why he was a top 10 prospect.
