What to do about Judge

Can't keep throwing meatballs on inner half, he can be pitched to, other teams do it. All three of those pitches he hit for homers where in a similar area, in and belt high. Bad pitching, the starters have hit a bad patch, hitters won't keep battling back.

They did strike him out twice and walk him once.

Letting a mediocre-hitting catcher trying to survive the torrid weather get four base hits was more inept and embarrassing.

As much as I'd like to hate Judge (for being a Yankee), I can't do it. He is a monster and seems like a class guy. People talk about Ohtani, Soto...I'd take Judge. I don't think he is much of an outfielder, other than arm strength, but at what 6'9", he could be a great 1st baseman. I don't know what it would take to steal him, but just not facing him would give the O's more wins.

Just walk this guy. Make someone else beat you. Especially when you have a runner on second and first base is open.

He's the best hitter on the planet.

On the bright side the Orioles only have three more regular season games against the Yankees in New York.

It is the second to last series of the schedule, so if the Orioles are still competing for a wildcard spot, I hope they have the sense to pitch around Judge. Let Rizzo or anyone else in the Yankees lineup beat you.
