How do you pitch to Aaron Judge?!

Aaron Judge is having a season for the history books! DeRo and Anthony Recker discuss the Yankees star and how he has been shining even when the ballclub has been struggling

[@johnnyyang5024]

Judge is my MVP, go Yankees let's go Win 🏆 💪 👏 🙌 😤 💙 🏆 💪 👏 🙌 😤 💙 🏆 it All this year ...........

[@Katsos44]

You don’t, if Judge sees more than 4 pitches he’s going to either walk, or hit the ball very hard if you’re 3-1 or 2-0 on Judge, just walk him man

[@lokotroko1]

Facts 😂😂😂, I trow nothing but slider outside or splitters bouncing on homeplate 😂😂😂

Throw them below the strike zone and let the umps ring him up! 😂😂😂

[@brodyfraser2595]

This guy is JACKED

[@baileysmith4744]

just dont throw fastballs or down the middle. hes always crushed fastballs, and you cant leak mistake pitches. throw the ball edge of the zone or out of the zone, and make sure it breaks or has lots of movement. he may out it out still but hes more likely to miss it or not put it over compared to fastballs or middle pitches. id rather walk him than give up a bomb

[@lamelmazerouno9332]

As long as the umps call strikes balls you can't

[@thetodd2738]

Pitchers today are pitching scared, you get Judge out by not pitching scared, pitch him hard inside, come up and in ya gotta then start going soft away. Eventually finish him with fastball up and away just off the plate or slider just off the plate down away

[@SavingSoulsMinistries]

With that lineup just walk him every time and you’ll be better off

[@paraisoinformativo]

Analytics go against that move. In today's game you can't go against the analytics department because if anything goes wrong, somebody will get fired. Perfect example is Snell in the 2020 WS.

[@huh8896]

@@paraisoinformativo that’s a terrible example lmfao, please don’t comment anymore.

[@who4804]

Hits for average, patient at the plate takes his walks, hits for Power .. Oh yea, he plays a great center field too . you take Judge out of that line up Yanks are a 4th place team in the division maybe last so how isn’t he the MVP

[@bounderby99]

Best chance you get is Fastballs in/up and in and breaking/off-speed stuff down and away. You just have to hope to jam him on the inside pitches and get him to chase away. If he gets a hit or walks, you just tip your cap

[@CoachAndrew77]

That is in fact the general rule of thumb pitchers are taught from 10u and up. Hard in, soft away. Problem is, miss 3" one way it's in New Jersey, miss 3" the other way, it's an easy take. Easy to say hard to do against him. Walking him is the only answer because right now he is reading the serial number on the ball from 50 feet, but walking him destroys the joy of baseball.

[@meejinhuang]

Walk him.

[@steveneumann9011]

I don’t understand why pitchers don’t intentionally walk him each time given how no one else is hitting well

[@Ryan-cb1ei]

It’s not like they don’t hit at all. Interestingly though, a lot of those batters hit better with RISP. Not exactly ideal to keep letting a runner on, the Yankees are patient at the plate and will take walks until you beat yourself

[@XxXFlyingArmBarXxX]

Intentionally walking is the biggest bitch move in all of sports

[@brianwilkinson356]

Who is this Anthony Recker guy??? LoL

[@g311music]

How sad would the Yankees be if they lose Judge? The Yankees lineup is putrid, Brian Cashman should be ashamed of himself for putting this team together.

[@RoperGamingVideos]

Looks like Anthony Recker has ringworm what the hell.

[@viveknamikaze761]

Ask the Astros staff.... They do it best 😂

[@starblitz_999]

I got to hand it to the Astros man, they. just. don't. give. up. Even after the cheating scandal and the 2 WS losses in 3 years they're still one of the best teams in baseball. They are probably making it to the WS again unless something happens. Just watch out for the Dodgers.

[@pistol670]

Carefully or not at all.

[@TroysSweetCornhole]

You throw it over the plate and hope he doesn't hit it hard

Just throw low and away sliders he’ll chase em every time

[@Looch27]

Lmao yeah “every time”, that’s why he’s batting .302 and has fuckin 54 dingers. If he had a hole in his game that was that bad, he wouldn’t be playing this well

@@recusantvessel that’s misleading . give me a right hand hitter who isn’t batting terrible against sliders low & away . the fact is he isn’t chasing those pitches like he use to so yea he’s batting .082 at the slider that he swings at but how many does he let go by for a ball? that stat doesn’t give you that answer ..

MLB is rigged, down & away he strikeout every time !!!!!!

Fully believe at this point pitchers are being paid to throw meatballs to Judge for the record legit look at his past like 10 home runs, all meatballs down the middle

[@AyoStainFTW]

Are you joking or do you actually believe that MLB pitchers are willingly giving Judge HRs? Especially when the Yankees are struggling, you think teams are willingly trying to let Judge keep their WS hopes alive?

[@derektyndall4552]

@@AyoStainFTW It's all about entertainment and ratings. Not saying it's true but I wouldn't be surprised

[@AyoStainFTW]

@@derektyndall4552 so a team like the Twins who are currently trying to win their division and are 1 game out of 1st place, is giving free HRs to Aaron Judge? Especially when that HR is the deciding factor of the game?

Yes I’m sure you are a major league level pitcher who only hits the corners on every pitch. Be quiet

[@lukechalmers71]

We always overlook about how Gary Sanchez is NOT a good catcher

[@PapeySapote]

This has nothing to do with Sanchez. By the logic you use we must attribute the Yankees losses for two months to the catchers as well

[@stanleyjh601]

Didn’t he just come a 6 consecutive AB streak with all K’s?!? There are A LOT of players I would rather have than Aaron judge...A LOT!!

[@okGM013]

Yeah because he struggled for like a game and a half clearly he’s terrible… yeah that makes sense I’ll buy that for a nickel

[@PapeySapote]

Good luck with that

[@stanleyjh601]

@@okGM013 No one said he was terrible. Btw what an ancient expression...what was that from Robocop? Buy that for a nickel...mercy me! Yanks are more concerned about an individual accolade than finishing out a pennant race. Both NY teams are doing what they do best especially the Metropolitans. I thought Buck was going to prevent all of this from happening. Nah same ole same ole. A hot and cold offense no bullpen besides one pitcher. Pretty obvious both teams are NOT built correctly! Chop On!

[@who4804]

6 ABs is a drop in the bucket compared to what he’s actually doing . he’s also homered in 3 straight games . you screaming about 6 consecutive Ks is like me be excited we won 2 games in a row, both are true but how much do they actually matter in the grand scheme of things
