Another fielding mistake by Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe led to another confusing rationalization from his manager.

Volpe has struggled at the plate and in the field, but his team talks about him like he's having a fine season.

With the Red Sox threatening to add an insurance run in the top of the ninth, the Yankees ’ shortstop threw speedster Jarren Duran out at home plate. Volpe charged to his right, made a backhand play and in one fluid motion, delivered a strike to Austin Wells at the dish.
