Schenider makes bizarre statement on why he decided to walk Aaron Judge

Schneider told Berrios to walk Judge in the 2nd inning as the Jays were down 4-1 and stated he chose to do that because he did not want to see him swing.

This was a strange statement to make since an intentional walk could be the right play to make when their is a strategy involved but putting Judge on base because he did not want to see him swing is a strange move.
