It is beyond me why the Orioles EVER throw ANYTHING to him to hit

[banks703]

I can’t find the other thread for this but good God. Stop pitching to Aaron Fing Judge. Even John Smoltz is saying to not pitch to him even with a man on first. His numbers against the Orioles are video game like. How stupid is it to throw him ANYTHING? JFC

Tyler Wells is just not very good right now. I could have homered off that pitch.

Wells to IL.   He wasn’t right in the Dodgers start.  He’s a command guy who now walks more guys than he strikes out.   You’ll find out he’s been hiding elbow or shoulder discomfort.  Just saying.

[banks703]

They threw off his routine by holding him out for what, ten days?

I’d suggest that this should force them to pursue a starter but I doubt they will.

Coming into this series Judge’s number against the O’s:

In 91 career games

103 hits
38 homers
19 doubles
83 RBI
.312 AVG
.434 SLG
1.149 OPS

It is idiotic to pitch to the guy.

He certainly doesn't look right and I don't want him near the mound.  ME needs to add pitching.

Did Wells go to the IL or you think he needs to go to the IL.

I've been saying this for two years. He clobbers the O's. Don't let him do it. Make someone else beat you. I sure hope we don't see these guys in the playoffs.

I think he’s hurt but I think he’s hiding it.  He’s had issues the last two years about this time.

It wouldn't bother me a bit to see "these guys".  We can play with anybody.

The classic player x isn't just playing poorly, he's hiding an injury!

 

Because the team and the trainers are idiots who wouldn't notice.

[Moose Milligan]

Good players beat you. That’s what they do. 
 

In regards to pitching to him, it’s the competition. If it were me out there, I’d want to try to get him out, too. 
 

Judge hits homers, that’s what he does.  Take the logic in the OP, apply it to all teams, they’d just walk him all the time. Even Barry Bonds got pitched to. 
 

I’m more disappointed in giving up a homer to Higgy and a bases loaded double to IKF to put the game out of reach. 
 

Get everyone else out, don’t let Judge hit with men on base. Don’t let chumps like IKF and Higgy drive in 5+. 

[Baltimorecuse]

You can get anyone out if you can pitch.

 

In the 1934 All Star Game played at the Polo Grounds, Hubbell produced one of baseball's most memorable moments by striking out five future Hall of Famers in succession: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin.[7] This happened in an era where the strikeout was far less common than today and was regarded as an undesirable outcome for hitters, not merely an acceptable byproduct of swinging for the fences

[InsideCoroner]

It surely didn’t help matters yesterday that when Judge hit his homer, the guy waiting on deck (Stanton) had already taken Wells deep earlier in the game.

[ChosenOne21]

Because his numbers versus the Orioles are a small sample size and he makes an out in 60% of his plate appearances?

Just looked up Barry Bonds stats, his 2004 year was crazy. He had a 609 OBP, driven by 232 BB (120 intentional) in 617 plate appearances. And in the 373 AB where he did get pitched to, he hit .362 with 45 HR. 

Insane.
