In response to Yankees supporters jeering him, Aaron Judge answers.
Though it’s difficult to fathom, Aaron Judge was jeered by Yankees fans on Saturday.
At Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York, Judge went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in the Yankees’ 2-0 defeat to the Tampa Bay Rays. Judge whiffed at 10 pitches, which was a career best for the number of pitches he has ever missed in a single game.
A few spectators jeered Judge for his subpar performance.
Judge doesn’t seem to be blaming them. Judge defended the supporters when questioned about the jeers following the game.
Judge told reporters, “I’ve heard worse, and I would probably do the same thing in their situation.”
This season, the 31-year-old Judge has batted.179 through 21 games. Fortunately, the Yankees offense has been sustained by the dominant play of Anthony Volpe and Juan Soto at the top of the lineup.
Given Judge’s dismal start, some are questioning if the toe he broke in a collision at Dodger Stadium the previous season is still troubling him.
