Yankees rave about Anthony Volpe’s patient approach after big day vs. Twins

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 18:22:33 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS – Aaron Boone contemplated giving Anthony Volpe some rest on Wednesday, but the rookie shortstop ultimately led off. It’s safe to say Boone doesn’t regret that decision.Volpe had a huge day offensively, going 2-for-3 with three runs scored, a double, two walks and one strikeout in a 12-6 Yankees win that avoided a series sweep. The neophyte’s three RBI tied Aaron Judge and the Twins’ Jose Miranda for the game-high, and they helped the Yankees secure a sizeable, early lead.“Overall, [I] feel pretty comfortable,” Volpe said afterward. “I feel like I’m seeing the ball well. I just want to put together good at-bats. As long as I feel like I’m doing that, I feel like I’m helping the team win.”Volpe’s hits helped spark an offense that had been dormant in recent days, but it was his walks and general patience that drew rave reviews in the Yankees clubhouse afterward. That’s nothing new, though, ...

Pedro Grifol said he didn’t anticipate the Chicago White Sox’s struggles.“But you don’t control the cards you’re dealt,” the first-year manager said before Wednesday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays. “You control how you respond to it. And that’s the only thing we can control.“Adversity is educational. And how you deal with adversity is also very important. We’re not going to panic through this thing. I’ll reflect and work and make adjustments and be hard on myself, but I’m definitely not going to panic.”Those adjustments will have to be made at home after the Sox completed a winless six-game trip with an 8-0 loss in front of 35,069 at Rogers Centre.The trying times continued for the Sox, who suffered their seventh consecutive defeat and are 11 games under .500 at 7-18. It’s their worst 25-game start since 1986, when they also began 7-18.“We’re in a funk and we have to come toge...
