On Sunday though, Judge got his revenge, lifting his 53rd home run of the season to dead center as the Yankees went on to win 5-2 (with the Yankees also taking three out of the four games in the series).
After Sunday’s game, Judge was asked about getting thrown at the day before. He came back with a pretty ruthless response.
“You play this game for a while, things like that happen,” Judge said, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. “So I think the biggest thing is, just don’t miss when you do it.”
Judge is a big target at 6-foot-7 and 282 pounds, so that was a great way of clowning Bello and the Red Sox for their poor aim.
With the kind of season that the AL MVP front-runner Judge is having, he has usually been getting intentionally walked more so than getting thrown at. But Judge is clearly ready for anything that gets thrown his way.
