Some might say New York Yankees fans and the media have been piling on Anthony Volpe, but the truth is that the shortstop continues to fan the flames with his concerning play. Even in an 11-2 win over the Washington Nationals (a series sweep), he managed to make things worse for the discourse.
The Bombers piled on the struggling Nats and blew it open with a nine-run inning in the third. That featured the Nationals throwing 77 pitches and facing 15 Yankees batters. Four homers were hit. They logged four other hits, three walks and reached base via a catcher's interference.
