JUDGE EJECTION DOESN'T DAMPER YANKEE WIN

Let's call it what it was.  The umpire made a shit call.  And my take is clearly he knew he was wrong and didn't want to show weakness, and so he heard a little chatter from Aaron Judge and said "You know what? Without this getting crazy, let me eliminate the guy." And in the end he showed weakness. One of those split-second decisions that went bad. Moron. 

That decision to eject Judge of course was an awful mistake as Yankee fans came to the stadium to not only see the Yankees play, but they also came for Aaron Judge. And so, there's a balance.  Judge is the leader. He's the leader because he's not a troublemaker.... but in the end, it was the umpires who got it wrong again.

Aaron Judge was just ejected for the first time in his career by umpire Ryan Blakney after an atrocious strike three call. What an absolute fucking embarrassment MLB umpires have become. This motherfucker should pay serious consequences for this. Remember the name — Ryan Blakney pic.twitter.com/fjukfIo0L3

 Another bad stain on how soft and weak they are and how one day real soon umpires will all be losing their jobs.  

But the Yankees won and that's what should be talked about. Yahoo Sports writes:

"Judge left the game after batting 2-for-4 with an RBI. The Yankees eventually won the game, 5–3."

The win would come because Rizzo cranked a 3 run homer. The bat is getting hot.

Judge explained himself and I really don't fault the guy. He's a class act and didn't do anything wrong. That umpire? He's soft and clearly he messed up.
