The New York Yankees stumbled into the 2023 MLB All-Star break by losing four of their last five games. They sit in fourth place in the AL East, and following Sunday’s loss the team fired its hitting coach after an awful first half of the season.
So yeah, things haven’t been going great for the Yankees as of late.
Want to see something that was pretty great from the Yankees over the weekend? Well, it was bad for them because it led to an embarrassing out, but this slide from Anthony Volpe while he was getting picked off on the base paths was a thing of absolute, confusing beauty:

Volpe is almost in the stage of his life where you can't dive like your 16 years old and come out of it without an injury. He'll learn. https://t.co/C5aWHX1GXZ
