Yankees: ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith Explodes, ‘It’s a Shame Pitchers Don’t Want to Throw Judge’

It’s been almost a week since Aaron Judge will hit his 60th home run of the seasonand in this period of time, it seems that the managers have instructedor their pitchers to avoid at all costs that the New York Yankees hurt them: In 31 plate appearances since then he has received 13 walks, perhaps the final straw being the four that The Toronto Blue Jays awarded him on Tuesday.

Given this, MLB gets impatient, as they’ve wanted to celebrate home run 61 for some time now. Another of those who is impatient to see Aaron Judge’s 61st home run is ESPN’s controversial star panelist, Stephen A. Smith, who on his show ‘First Take’ blew up at pitchers and managers for refusing to challenge Judge, going further saying that it is because of that type of mentality that baseball has lost popularity.

Are you going to give Judge four tickets? Pitchers, please take heart, you get paid too. I mean, aren’t you professionals? That it is not their obligation to go out and show what they are worth? You have Aaron Judge, who is going for his 61st home run of the year. What you should do is go out there and try to strike him out. That’s what Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson would have done.

The truth is that Aaron Judge’s career for Roger Maris’ record has given baseball a notoriety that it did not have years ago, coupled with the great figures that have appeared in recent years such as obviously Shohei Ohtani and his tremendous 2021 and 2022 seasons , in addition to the Latin legion commanded by Juan Soto, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Ronald Acuña.

I’m a fan of the San Francisco Giants, number one defender of Barry Bonds, and hater of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto and Ronald Acuña are the future of baseball, Mike Trout is overrated, and the Astros deserved to have the World Series taken from them for their cheating. Besides baseball, I also enjoy football, flag football, basketball, and just about any other game that involves a ball or ball. I’m also an amateur musician, a penniless gamer and very nerdy.
