The Blue Jays manager John Schneider decided to walk Aaron Judge on multiple occasions throughout the series against the Yankees.
Schneider told reporters after yesterday's game that the decision was not due to the Blue Jays pitcher inability to pitch well but more due to how good Judge is.
«Nothing against our pitchers, nothing against anyone else on their lineup.. (we're) singularly focused around how talented Aaron (Judge) is.»

While Schneider comments probably softened the decision with his pitchers, it is hard to believe that he would intentionally walk Judge if he felt his pitchers could deal with him.
