Despite his sluggish start to the season, even Aaron Judge, the star outfielder for the New York Yankees, is subject to jeers from the crowd.
The majority of players who have been part of the Pinstripes for a considerable duration have faced jeers from Yankees supporters. They will communicate their feelings to players when they are not performing up to par, whether it is right or not.
That occurred for Judge on Saturday afternoon in the ninth inning of the Rays game. Judge struck out for the fourth time in the game, earning himself the dreaded golden sombrero, with a chance to ignite a rally in a tie game.
That day, Yankees supporters decided to have had enough of their captain and let loose with some jeers. Judge, though, remained unmoved.
Judge remarked, “I’ve heard worse,” following the extra-innings defeat. “If I were in their shoes, I think I would be doing the same thing.”
Managing the booing is a difficult circumstance. Blaming the supporters for booing amid a downturn will simply make the supporters more enraged. If a player acts too casual about it, it could be interpreted as a lack of concern.
We are aware of Judge’s intense desire to triumph and his significance of donning the pinstripes. At Yankee Stadium, even Derek Jeter faced jeers when he went 0-for-32 at the start of the 2004 season.
“It’s not too late. The season is lengthy,” Judge remarked. All I’m lacking is the pitch. I have to take advantage of pitches that find their way into the zone. It’s not too many for me. It boils down to this: Don’t pass up your pitch when you have it.Given his past performance, it’s wise to give Judge the benefit of the doubt, but until he improves, the fans will continue to let him know when he’s not doing well.
