Blue Jays accuse Aaron Judge of Cheating: Are they for real or are they sore losers? by Hank Indictor

Editor's Note: Since this blog was first written (prior to uploading), Jackson has admitted to tipping his pitches.

The New York Yankees had a key 7-4 victory over the division rival Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night. Or more appropriately, the Yankees had a 7-4 verdict because the Judge continues to rake ever since coming back from the IL. 

However, we somehow got some controversy. The Blue Jays broadcasters noticed his side glance to the dugout before, during and after the second of his two home runs. And so, they must’ve thought, he might’ve been given a sign of what pitch was being delivered. And so, if we read between the lines (in addition to a lot of the fake outrage we’re seeing on the Twitter Machine) it's obvious that a man who hit 62 home runs just one year prior has been accused of cheating. 

I’M SORRY…..WHAT?!?!?! 

Having watched their clip dozens of times and after seeing his postgame interview, I’m here to tell you that not only is this accusation ridiculous, but what Judge was doing was not only him demonstrating his leadership qualities, but also hitting a meatball that’s probably headed for Quebec as we speak!

I'm sorry, but the analysis seen here provided by Jays' broadcasters Buck Martinez and Dan Schulman just appears to me as if it is a reach and nothing more.

And let me explain why. Aaron Judge crushed a 462-foot bomb thrown by a journeyman relief pitcher in Jay Jackson, who in only 62 career games has an ERA of 4.15. And somehow, I’m to believe we should focus on his side glances towards the dugout in between pitches. Yeah, I’m sorry but that just doesn’t add up.

And let’s be honest: If you saw that pitch, a hanging slider over the middle of the plate, I don’t know that it takes Barry Bonds (with or without steroids), or whatever technology the Astros were using, to crush that pitch to smithereens! 

And what did Judge have to say after the game? He was trying to get his teammates to stop chirping at the umpire with his team up 6-0!

Sounds more like a good leader, captain and teammate here than an alleged cheater!

So what are my final thoughts here? Blue Jays pitchers suck, their fans, and apparently, announcers, are trying to make excuses, and most importantly, Judge is not only a Major League hitter, but he’s a true leader of men. 

Case closed! Verdict? NOT GUILTY!!!!! Leave our M.V.P. Alone and get over yourselves!!!!!!
