Yanks @ Jays 1 of 4

[Daniel Labude]

Good. More interesting is actually a few minutes earlier when Judge was on deck and talking with the dugout about what was coming. They caught a shot of it in the telecast. He definitely knew what was coming, but it's not clear whether the dugout tipped it or someone on the Jays.

 

They did it before his last AB as well with him in the on deck circle. Someone figured something out and they tested it a few times before Judge ran with it imo

[JFD]

Alek Manure at it again

[Terminator]

 

 

 

Lol he is so full of s***. In the middle of the AB he's taking notes on who is chirping in the dugout so he can go regulate later on? Then why the sneaky side eye?

[Terminator]

Time for a little chin music tomorrow

Why, Schneider knows somebody was tipping and it was before the pitch so...

[Terminator]

His 7th place tie for the single season home run record needs an asterisk next to it. Roger Maris Jr. needs to apologize.

I was right that Berrios was going to out WAR Manure this season! What an amazing bold prediction.

Is the season already over?

It's hard to miss that chin too

If you think Manure can turn it around that quickly, you're dreaming.

 

His BB rate is horrendous! He's been awful.

[Daniel Labude]

1 last one and let's see if its the same tomorrow

 

Every single Jays pitcher threw more offspeed pitches than fastballs...except 1, which was tied 50/50

[M.E.]

Also Altuve's wife doesn't like his jersey to get ripped.

Lol exactly

[Pendleton]

Definitely should be plunking Judge today.

If they were relaying pitches to Judge - why wouldn't they do that with other batters? Is it they just don't want to give it away, so they gave it to the guy who can do the most damage? Doesn't add up to me.

Didn't Buck and Dan also point out they were yelling out "guesses" for pitches coming up when Judge was on deck too. What if one guy is designated as the one to yell out the actual pitch or something like that? I can't imagine they would be that blatant though so it's likely something else was up with Judge. I don't believe for an instant Judge's explanation though.

More noticeable as a LHH? It's a skill to look away and re-focus. Maybe he's the only guy with the skills on the team to do it. Not sure but I'm good with teams trying it.

Sounds more plausible they were picking up on what Belt was doing at 1st baseball on different pitches.

Perhaps it's just me, but I literally see nothing in that video of Bauers

Quality of the vid is so bad can’t see s***. If true though, then I think you can say with 100% certainty something is up.

 

Could be Kirk tipping pitches or something else

[Terminator]

The video quality is bad but I went and looked for myself and screen shotted it. You can definitely see his eyes shooting over to the third base coach a couple of times.

 

 

Here he is peeking:

 

And here he is right before the pitch:

[glory]

Yeah, if the Jays were tipping pitches and Judge/the Yankees caught it then it is what it is, but Judge's response had a lot of Altuve "last time I did that I got in trouble with my wife" energy.

[L54]

Jays got caught with their pants down. Hopefully they made the necessary adjustments

[Daniel Labude]

 

[jaysblue]

Jansen behind the plate tonight. Take that to the bank!

[Terminator]

I don't have enough autism to go through prior games and see if this is something that's been happening for a while.

 

Something Kirk is doing is the most likely tell bc if it was Belt or the pitcher or someone else in the field of play the batter could simply look to them directly instead of needing to get the signs from the dugout or 3rd base coach.

 

Judge's initial explanation was fine with me. He was obviously full of s*** but his explanation was so bad that it was basically a wink and a nod that he was caught. But now today he's acting all high and mighty about it which makes it seem like something fishier is at play.

 

Either way we need a total and complete shutdown of Aaron Judge playing baseball until we can figure out what the hell is going on. I'd put a provisional asterisk on his 7th place tie last year and then I'd take him off the field, at least for the next 3 days.
