The TV tubes had barely cooled when Volpe's ignoramus, stupid, immature botch was being whitewashed by Boone and Volpe himself. Schuemann tells the truth, but for self-preservation does not say the obvious:
Volpe fucked up, again. Volpe was a key reason that the Yankees lost...again.
"Schuemann fielded the ball cleanly with his backhand and seemed poised to throw home, but Volpe ran into him. Both players were charging hard for the ball, which was their plan.
Schuemann might have had a chance to throw out Semien, but it would have been close.
“Yeah I picked it pretty clean,” Scheumann said."
And this post mortem, correctly analyzing what happened:

The guy got a couple of hits--amazingly and finally--then completely negated whatever value he displayed by being an unaware jerk, preventing a teammate from possibly gunning down the runner at home to give the Yanks another chance.
Naturally, Boone and Volpe were in high whitewashing mode after the game. We are obviously expected not to believe our lying eyes. Volpe is merely an innocent dove who did nothing wrong, ever, in the field or at the plate.
Yes, Bednar sucked, and Bednar has sucked a lot this year. Cashman, incompetent asshole that he is, might possibly address that problem in six weeks. If he addresses it like he addressed last year's bullpen, I don't have much hope. And that's if he addresses the problem at all, along with Doval, Bird, and the other clowns he's signed or wasted young players on in terrible trades.
But Volpe...he showed nothing the minors, was called up anyway, and still benefits from the blatant favortism of Yankee scouts and management, including Boone. As with many things to do with the Yankees, it's completely inexplicable.
Will they keep trotting out Volpe, maybe even after Caballero is recovered? I wouldn't be surprised and neither would you. This is an organization that prides itself on its incompetence, top to bottom.
Volpe fits right in.

Volpe fits right into America at this moment. The worst of the worst are being put into positions of power, where they suck and cause great damage. Then, we are being told that their shit don't stink - as we used to say in Yonkers - and reality is denied in after-action reports. Orwell covers baseball. I'm with Hoss and hoping for a long, deadly lockdown. The game must change. We had to destroy the village in order to save it.
Excuses. The game was lost before then. Man on second no outs and no runs. Same old shit, different day.

Hear, hear! And Bitty, you're right. Our national game—even if it's no longer our favorite game—is a reflection of our national government. Both are a disgrace.
The game wasn't lost. It was life support, but they still had a chance. Post the Volpe clownshow, it was over. I'm not letting Wells, Bednar, or Boone off the hook. But the clear whitewashing over Volpe's mistake--and it was his and his alone--shows how badly the Yankees have drunken the Kool Aid. It's maddening.
Craig Nettles had a license late that read PUFF E5. I forget what PUFF meant; "Puffy" was a nickname? But I like VolpE6.
Fuck CashBrain.
