Toronto Blue Jays Broadcasters Wonder if New York Yankees Star Aaron Judge is Cheating
New York Yankees star Aaron Judge has homered twice against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, and in doing so, he made a little Yankees history. We wrote about that here.
Right before Judge hit his second home run of the night, the Blue Jays broadcaster team of Dan Shulman and Buck Martinez made note of the way that Judge was looking either at the dugout or the Blue Jays catcher.
You can watch that here: Jomboy Media tweeted about the interaction.
Aaron Judge hits a home run as the Blue Jays broadcasters wonder why he keeps glancing toward the dugout
Noted baseball personality Jared Carrabis also tweeted about the scenario, saying he disagreed with the Jays broadcasters.
It’s baseball, so I get why people automatically jump to cheating. Cheating and baseball are synonymous with each other. But A) Judge is historically good and doesn’t need to cheat, and B) After what happened to Houston, no team is dumb enough to try something so egregious imo.
I also tend to agree with Carrabis. It doesn't seem as if cheating is something that Judge needs to do, but it is curious what exactly he's looking. It would make sense if he was looking back at the catcher to try to see where the catcher is setting up, but it doesn't appear that Judge could actually see the catcher from where he is in the box.
The Yankees beat the Blue Jays 7-4 to move to 24-19. The loss moved Toronto to 24-17.
