MLB Fans React To Volpe’s Apparent Blooper

During the game, Spencer Jones hit a double that scored one run.
However, there was reason to believe that Volpe could have also scored on the play (from first base).

Here’s what fans were saying on social media:
@LouisBabcock12: “I hope volpe doesn’t get in his own head. He can work his way back.”
@PlayoffYankees: “Volpe certainly isn’t doing himself any favors”
@ShaqMitchell: “And that’s why he’s there”
@QuietRay: “Please keep Volpe away from my Yankees 😂”
@NY647764: “awful by volpe”
@kc_dos_siete: “I’m not making an excuse cuz this is bad. It looked like he thought the ball was fouled off. And I’m not sure how that could be. Don’t think it would be an outs issue”
@gibbs219283: “And this is why Volpe will be playing the year in the minors”
@mashmore98: “Had a few baserunning issues in Somerset as well.”
@ParkerYowell: “I swear this guy has ZERO baseball IQ.”
