Report: Ron Washington, Angels’ manager says it is preferable to walk ‘bad boy’ Aaron Judge than ‘let him beat up on us’
Rival teams are on edge because to Aaron Judge’s incredible 2024 season, as the Angels deliberate in their approach.
Rival teams are constantly alert thanks to Aaron Judge, the captain of the New York Yankees in the 2024 season. With 41 home runs, 121 runs batted in, RBIs, and a.322 batting average, he is presently leading the majors.
Manager Ron Washington discussed the prospect of purposefully walking Judge during their most recent game against the Los Angeles Angels, following the Blue Jays’ example from the previous Sunday. The Blue Jays benching Aaron Judge caused a stir in the Major League Baseball world as some disagreed over the captain’s play and the team’s choice.
The subject came up again during the most recent Yankees vs. Angles game, which the latter won 8-2 against the Yankees. Regarding the purposeful walk, Washington responded that he would do it if there was nobody on base but that he would do it if necessary.
I would be foolish to simply allow him to abuse us.I mean no offense to anyone. There are things you just have to do. He really is a nasty boy. If you don’t have to, you just can’t enter this ballpark and let him beat you up.
Ron Washington stated that while he won’t purposefully walk Aaron Judge when the bases are empty, he will in other circumstances.
“It would be foolish of me to simply allow him to abuse us.I mean no offense to anyone. There are things you just have to do. He’s a horrible lad, really. You simply cannot come.
The Yankees have recovered from their bad run of luck after acquiring Jazz Chisholm Jr. Even though the squad was struggling in July, the 26-year-old’s arrival strengthened their offensive line and helped them win their first AL East title.
