It’s hard to believe that Yankee manager Aaron Boone gave Aaron Judge Wednesday off when Shohei Ohtani was pitching for the Los Angeles Angles. Too bad for the fans, who all wanted to see the showdown between two Super Star players. If Judge were hurt you could understand the decision, but Judge is not hurt. It’s not a good look for the Yankees who beat the Angels 11-5 on Tuesday night and Judge played the whole game. Why didn’t Judge rest on Tuesday and play on Wednesday? Fans deserved to see Judge against Otani, and unfortunately it never happened.
