THE BLUE JAYS ANNOUNCERS ARE BITCHES


 Aaron Judge is just a really good home run hitter. He's pretty disciplined at the plate even though he does strike out, but for the most part he's productive at the plate, really coming into his own the last few years.  It's impressive. 

Last night the Yankees beat the Blue Jays 7-4.  Judge had 2 home runs.  Now mind you, the history between the Yankees and Jays as of recently has been toxic. You have to blame Vlad Guerrero for that. After all, he just likes to start stuff just for headlines. But what he doesn't seem to understand is no one cares about Vlad Jr.  Yes, the Jays are a good team, but what do I care is Vlad likes the Yankees or not. No one cares.

But back to last night, it's what happened during Aaron's at bat that had the Blue Jays announcers in a tizzy. Awful Announcing writes:

"...one of the home runs has generated some controversy, or at least chatter... During that at-bat, Dan Shulman and Buck Martinez, calling the game for Sportsnet, had a different observation. They noted that Judge was looking in an unusual direction.

“You don’t wanna go throwing allegations around without knowing, but…

Martinez, himself a former catcher, noted that based on where his eyes were going, Judge could not have been glancing back at the catcher, trying to steal the sign.

Then, right before Toronto pitcher, Jay Jackson delivered his 3-2 pitch to Judge, Shulman said that Judge “just did it again...



Martinez said “Once again, he’s looking at something, then the next move is that powerful swing, and he blasts one to center field. I’ve not seen that before with him. I’ve not ever seen that.”

So this is what we do now, we accuse players during game play. We build a narrative to cater to our audience, right Jays booth?  Maybe Judge saw a stray cat. Maybe some chick was flashing her cans. My point is to come right out and accuse the guy of cheating during a live broadcast, and mind you, they acted like they weren't accusing, but they were, it's pathetic.

Now Judge explained himself, even though he really doesn't have to.

ESPN writes:

"The Yankees slugger looked sideways for a moment before driving a 114.9 mph scorcher off right-hander Jay Jackson.

"There was kind of a lot of chirping from our dugout, which I really didn't like in the situation," Judge said."

Whatever the case, the haters that are going to continue to blast the Yankees and Judge for garbage allegations are ridiculous.  The Yankees haven't won anything in years. We are an average team at best.  If we were cheating, we're pretty bad at it.  So hey Dan and Buck, go scratch, your broadcast sucks.

I hope our YES guys have a field day when the Jays come to the Bronx, because the Jays announcers just started a war.

Sad.
