I like the idea this one caller presented about giving the player who is intentionally walked to give him second base, granted if there is no one on base. Now if there’s a runner on first the player on first should get second. If it happens again with a man on first , then the man on first should get theirs bad only when it happens twice to the same player
It’s not the Blue Jays job to please Yankees fans who came to watch Aaron Judge hit… Changing the rules about the batting order is so ridiculous, baseball has a batting order for a reason & it’s up to the manager to set it up the best way to attack the other team.
so you think walking judge intentionally is bad for baseball because you upset the fans?????? you think MLB OR THE PLAYERS care about the fans feelings???? Its a business first
I maybe the only one who feels this way but I lay this whole thing at the foot of the media including Kay on the Telecasts. When Judge went on his crazy tear of homering almost every day all I started hearing from Kay was WHY DO THEY PITCH TO HIM WHY DO THEY PITCH TO HIM?. I got so damn tired of hearing it everytime he homered I was like PLEASE STFU. If they pitch to him so be it. You don't think that got back to the opposing manager? I'm sure he was getting asked about it after the game by reporters. And now it's come home to roost. This is what you may see the rest of the season. Spend a whole bunch of money to go to a game to see him get pitched around or walked internationally. So now we will hear different ways Baseball has to rectify this. I want to see him hit but now the bat maybe taken out of his hands. But if someone does pitch to him and he homers watch big mouth Kay ask why did they pitch to him?
Exactly,and he do it every single time Judge hit a home run,every time if it was like the ones he hit 62,for real almost 40 of them you hear Micheal Mouth said that shit,and now crying that they are doing what he was asking for,
They changed the rules for ohtani so he could stay in games after he gets taken out of games he pitches. Kay is right. U should get 2 bases for intentional walks. Everyone on base already should get 2 also
Extra innings rule being like the NHL shootout rule in terms of selecting players would be cool. Can’t repeat anyone until the next inning, unless 9 different players come to bat in one inning
@@josesantiago4985 what's the matter with you guy's,,listen Mr Einstein,does Ruth gotten this treatment,does Gerigh gotten this treatment,why is it so difficult for you people to understand that,the more they are doing it,the pathetic it's gonna be to watch in the future, damned this is so annoying to even written about it man.
And the next step will be that each team can get up to 5 batting practice fastballs down the middle and they would have to throw it at anytime in the game. An intentional walk is a formality; get rid of it and they will still throw 4 balls well out of the zone.
Intentional walks are supposed to shorten the time of the game from when the catcher would hold the glove out 4 times so i dont think theres any going back
Another rule change that would be nice is substitutions. Just like basketball and football, if a player is substituted in baseball he can come back in and doesn't have to stay out the entire game.
Don't they understand that some of the games most dramatic moments occurred by people who are not stars who stepped up, Aaron Boone, sending the Yankees to the World Series, Scott Brosius in the World Series, Gibson's Homerun. All that might be erased.
I agree with Kay on this, watching intentional walks is boring as hell, thsts why most kids wanna play Football, Basketball or even Soccer, baseball wants to live in the past, If Babe Ruth played now, he'd never hit 60 home runs, or Ted Williams wouldn't win a triple crown, because nobody would pitch to them, the game has changed due to using 5 different pitchers every game instead of leaving a guy out there for 8 or 9 innings, so I think a small change in favor of the offense is fair
@@kamikazekrush3758 Babe Ruth was intentionally walked 28 times in 1924 that's not any different than today. The solution then was Lou Gehrig, they stopped intentionally walking Ruth when Gehrig was hitting behind him. In 1927 when Ruth hit 60 homers he was only IBB 3 times. This is not a problem for baseball, its only a problem for the Yankees. Judge needs more protection in the lineup plain and simple.
Just bc there’s nothing wrong doesnt mean things can’t get much better. Stop being stuck in ways! This is a great idea and would add massive excitement. That’s the way it should be. Best player vs best player with the game on the line. It’s every other sport
@@Alchemist718 Ah, good point. Maybe, if a better has walked already in a game (Once? Twice?) and during a subsequent at-bat the pitcher doesn't throw at least one strike, then the batter gets 2nd?
Aaron Judge has been intentionally walked 11 times this season. His career high is 19 in 2022. Barry Bonds had at least 19 intentional walks in a season 8 times between 1989 and 1998. He had as many as 43 in 1993. This guy is making something out of nothing.
@austinallison3205 I didn't even mention 1999-2004. In those years, Bonds was getting intentionally walked 70-120 times a season. Either way, your logic doesn't hold up at all. Lots of players were using and none of them were walked like Bonds. Alex Rodriguez was actually suspended for steroids and they didn't intentionally walk him any less than Judge. The discussion is about whether intentionally walking Judge is bad for the game. I don't see how you comment is relevant at all. Your poor critical thinking skills are glaring.
There's more to baseball than 1 guy getting all his at-bats 😂😂. In fact, one could argue, the WHOLE POINT of baseball is to get the batter out. But I'm just a former little league shortstop so what do I know?😂
My proposed rule change. Similar along the lines of Don. If you’re a home team who is behind in the bottom of the ninth . You should be allowed to send up whatever three batters of your choosing to lead off the inning. After three batters, we’re right back to where we were in the lineup. Doesn’t intentional. But also gives you a fighting chance at the end with your best players.
I love judge because he is a great human being and a great player who does special things, no more having to make a big deal about someone running hard to first...
this isnt a WWE match where you see John Cena or The Rock shine. This isn't scripted. when you have a team that doesnt produce anything past the 2nd or 3rd batter, the strategy is just to walk your threats and strike out what's not there to fulfill. Aaron Judge is one of the greatest players of our time, but if I was any other team, I'm only surprised that this strategy wasn't able to be implemented earlier to expose truly how bad our team is batter wise.
This is a big reason that I prefer the manual 4-pitchout IBB to the softer version today. 10 years ago, you had to wear it, embarrass yourself in front of the crowd for 2 minutes, risk pass balls and advancing runners, and get heckled by the opposing bench while you do it. That can really rattle a pitcher and discourage the free passes
Michael is not wrong. But unfortunately there is nothing we can do other than changing the rules. Perhaps they could institute a policy of allowing only one intentional walk per player per game?
I hear where Michael is coming is coming from, but at a certain point it is not always about the Fans the team wants to win. Like people say the GM can't always make decisions as a Fan.....
How bout getting good hitters if Aaron Judge gets walked its because the other team knows theres only two good hitters on this team everyone else is below average how bout getting Judge some help with a .300 hundred average hitter and you’ll see Judge not get walked again.
Even tho Judge is good, he’s still getting out 70% of the time. A walk is actually better because he’s getting on base vs a likely out. Tell the Yankees to drive in a run and the game will be exciting
It’s on the Yankees to protect Judge. The team is risking putting a runner on base. It’s now the Yankees job to make them pay for that risk of putting him on. It’s baseball! Eventually, if he has protection, teams will think twice before just walking him
This is just part of sports. If a guy is beating you in basketball you'll trap him or double sometimes triple team him to force someone else to beat you. This is not exclusive to baseball.
Enough already. He had 11 IBB’s and 4 of those came in back to back games. Barry bonds averaged 37 IBBs a year for his career. Years before any PEDs bonds was leading the majors with intentional walks year after year. It’s called strategy. It’s not supposed to be batting practice. Teams are trying to win. Where the outrage directed to Yankees on not having someone that can hit after judge. Have a good hitter behind judge and there will be less IBB’s. But even that. Judge had 7 IBB,s leading up to those 2 games.
500 Abs and he was intentionally walked 11. Are you kidding me. Do you feel just as bad for the fans and the game when judge strikes out 3 times in a game. Or even strikes out once. Again. 11 IBB’s in 500 At Bats. And 4 of them being other day. What a joke this “outrage” is.
There have been so many rule changes in the past decade - limit each team to either one intentional walk per player per game or two IBB per game. They adds so much strategy. If he comes up with 2nd and 3rd in the 3rd inning, do you IBB him then or wait to see if he comes up in the 8th or 9th in a big spot?! And I like the idea of resetting the batting order, or even shortening the batting order in extras.
as much as I love soto batting 2nd I'd move him to 3 and bat judge 2nd Schneider and every other manager will think twice from now on intentionally walking judge
Here’s what I’ll say-I think this is a Yankee issue. Put some protection around him. Make the other team pay for putting him on. Dodgers do this Phillies do this OR Take away the rule where the pitcher doesn’t need to face a minimum amount of batters. Would incentivize the manager to attack the hitter.
How about hack-a-Shaq? That approach is similar to an intentional walk. The Yankees need to do a better job of making the other teams pay for walking him.
This sounded dumb yesterday and even dumber today. Kay brought this up because of Judge but it's not a Yankee thing? Was he saying this crap when Bonds kept getting walked?
What’s dumb about it? Do you think the fans went to Yankee Stadium paying ridiculous amounts of money for tickets, parking, concessions, etc. to watch Aaron Judge get intentionally walked three times? Did anybody tune into the game on television to watch him get intentionally walked three times? It’s a 100+ year old rule in baseball that needs to go. It’s outdated.
@@dbreiden83080they went and spent all the money to watch their favorite team play and try to win. It’s not the Aaron judge show no matter how good he is
@@dbreiden83080 So they should suddenly change the rule for one player? I never even heard of this until the last few days. Switch Soto and Judge and watch what happens.
Arbitration hearings are immediately affected by this kind of rule changes. Judge makes money regardless but now the pitcher has 1 or 2 less homeruns given up this year but players like Wells have a better chance to inflate their rbi numbers for arbitration
....to make an argument that the intentional walk should be addressed is absurd.....would I like it better Mr Kay if the catcher got out of crouch & the pitcher lobbed 4 pitches outside?
Easy fix. Switch him with Juan Soto. Bring up dominguez and put him at the 4. Make teams pick between risking him at the plate or risking him on base with Soto and Dominguez up to bat
Its ridiculous to intentionally walk 3 times including no one on base with 2 outs! Challenge your pitchers instead of taking the lazy way out. People pay good money to watch aaron judge hit or for any star for that matter. To deny fans to see them including judge is wrong and not ok. In the biggest moment of the game there could be a chance that a manager denies one of the best player to hit.
Ill say that Kay had a caller in his show the other day that proposed an amazing idea. By limiting the amount of intentional walks a team has per game. Something like that will def correct this issue and it will not change the game that much. In a way I do see how the fans are being cheated out of their money with such tactic.
@@zachstolpa6521 I guess the competition and back and forth amongst two teams make it a classical watch. Calm your nipples there buddy. It was only an opinion not a command.
This is just weird. Hockey allows you to play people like that. Just make a new sport if you want Aaron judge out there for the whole time. Have him go play basketball
How about you have someone hit behind him that can make them pay. Don't remember you complaining when Bonds got IW with the bases loaded. Sounds like a homerism to me.
Putting a guy on 2nd in extras isn’t a crazy idea it’s just like sudden death. I like the idea of having any order in extras as well as guy on 2nd tbh. Or one at bat a game you can sub someone in anytime. Or even allowing substitutes to re enter the game. Good ideas
I hate it entirely, but I could at least live with it easier if it didn't happen starting in the 10th. Most extra inning games end before the 12th, so how about having the ghost runner staring in the 12th inning? Nobody watches a baseball game and complains that it went an extra inning or two.
This is what is killing baseball Mike? How about lifting the TV blackouts that literally limit eyeballs to the sport. That is one of the biggest problems in the game.
In extra innings I am fine with the team batting 2-3,4, but I am not for making a rule where 1 Batter can hit 3 times in a Row.... How is that fair to the pitcher he gets him out twice and the batter can get 1 lucky swing and beat him Hell No.......
I mean honestly if I'm another team pitching versus Aaron judge I'm walking them too until the Yankees put someone behind him that's going to give me any sort of anxiety to pitch to that guy I'm going to keep walking him why pitch to him
The purpose of baseball is to prevent runs and score runs. Aaron judge is so good at hitting that he is weaker at first base with his feet than he is at home plate with a bat. It’s Barry bonds level at this point. I remember Maddux said that facing bonds was easy because there was never a tough choice to make. If it mattered at all, you walk him. That’s where judge is now. You might not see judge get real pitches to hit during a high leverage moment for a long time.
Fake runners at second is ridiculous too. Make the plate bigger. Make these guys swing the bat. Just eliminate intentional walks. Make the pitcher pitch around him.
Funny I bet he had no problem when Bonds was Intentionally walked all the time. He is only complaining because it is about Judge. When he himself said a few weeks ago if no one is going to hit behind him then teams will walk him. Also he said he doesn't understand why teams pitch to him?
Here we go again! Moving the goal post , change the rules to satisfy the big market teams! So make it fair we just change the rules to benefit you. If it’s a new rule so it isn’t cheating or unfair we have more money for better talent. How about getting the rest of your team to step up?! This is a team sport not for the individual. If your team can’t win as a team then go make a league like 3 on 3 and leave our game alone. Ridiculous takes!!!!
I didn’t think you could fit so many bad takes within a 14 minute video, but here we are. 😂
"We should be able to have anyone we want bat in the 10th inning. Send Aaron Judge up there 3 times"
What an absolute ridiculous take
As a Yankee fan, Judge can get walked 100 more time for the year and I’ll be happy. Gotta respect greatness
You don’t see Ohtani getting intentionally walked anymore like he did in Anaheim…. It’s on the Yankees to provide Judge protection
because the dodgers have more than 2 good hitters in the lineup

Take away the rule where the pitcher doesn’t need to face a minimum amount of batters. Would incentivize the manager to attack the hitter.
How about hack-a-Shaq? That approach is similar to an intentional walk. The Yankees need to do a better job of making the other teams pay for walking him.
OmFG can't believe I am.hearjng this shit
This sounded dumb yesterday and even dumber today. Kay brought this up because of Judge but it's not a Yankee thing? Was he saying this crap when Bonds kept getting walked?
What’s dumb about it? Do you think the fans went to Yankee Stadium paying ridiculous amounts of money for tickets, parking, concessions, etc. to watch Aaron Judge get intentionally walked three times? Did anybody tune into the game on television to watch him get intentionally walked three times? It’s a 100+ year old rule in baseball that needs to go. It’s outdated.
@@dbreiden83080they went and spent all the money to watch their favorite team play and try to win. It’s not the Aaron judge show no matter how good he is
@@JoseAlvarado-nl4pisure bud 😅
That's right 👍
@@dbreiden83080 So they should suddenly change the rule for one player? I never even heard of this until the last few days. Switch Soto and Judge and watch what happens.
Arbitration hearings are immediately affected by this kind of rule changes. Judge makes money regardless but now the pitcher has 1 or 2 less homeruns given up this year but players like Wells have a better chance to inflate their rbi numbers for arbitration
Why are they trying to fix something that’s not broken 😩😩 I don’t get it 🤦♂️🤦♂️
....to make an argument that the intentional walk should be addressed is absurd.....would I like it better Mr Kay if the catcher got out of crouch & the pitcher lobbed 4 pitches outside?
Easy fix. Switch him with Juan Soto. Bring up dominguez and put him at the 4. Make teams pick between risking him at the plate or risking him on base with Soto and Dominguez up to bat
Put soto behind him
like to know how many times he scores when intentionally walked
Its ridiculous to intentionally walk 3 times including no one on base with 2 outs! Challenge your pitchers instead of taking the lazy way out. People pay good money to watch aaron judge hit or for any star for that matter. To deny fans to see them including judge is wrong and not ok. In the biggest moment of the game there could be a chance that a manager denies one of the best player to hit.
Ill say that Kay had a caller in his show the other day that proposed an amazing idea. By limiting the amount of intentional walks a team has per game. Something like that will def correct this issue and it will not change the game that much. In a way I do see how the fans are being cheated out of their money with such tactic.
How many games y’all expect to be classic in it’s how many regular season games there are? Ridiculous
@@zachstolpa6521 I guess the competition and back and forth amongst two teams make it a classical watch. Calm your nipples there buddy. It was only an opinion not a command.
Wtf did I just watch
The Yankees 5-9 is bad for baseball
Bring up the Martian
9th inning top of the order bats
This is just weird. Hockey allows you to play people like that. Just make a new sport if you want Aaron judge out there for the whole time. Have him go play basketball
Put Soto behind judge what’s the problem
Stop making new rules that’s what’s wrong with baseball it’s fine
Like Soto said it sucks.....
A team of just Aaron judge and Soto would beat some major league teams(obviously with runners and fielders helping but just those 2 at bat)
What's the point of a lineup if you can make certain players hit six times a game?
How about you have someone hit behind him that can make them pay. Don't remember you complaining when Bonds got IW with the bases loaded. Sounds like a homerism to me.
First IW as is second to 2nd base 3 to 3 base no IW after 7th nings
It is annoying but I don’t know how you stop it
Michael Kay might have the greatest idea ever in baseball here
Thank god no Peter
Putting a guy on 2nd in extras isn’t a crazy idea it’s just like sudden death. I like the idea of having any order in extras as well as guy on 2nd tbh. Or one at bat a game you can sub someone in anytime. Or even allowing substitutes to re enter the game. Good ideas
I hate it entirely, but I could at least live with it easier if it didn't happen starting in the 10th. Most extra inning games end before the 12th, so how about having the ghost runner staring in the 12th inning? Nobody watches a baseball game and complains that it went an extra inning or two.
Why he mentioning j rod over marte harper ozuna acuna jr. betts machado yelich gunnar witt jr. yordan both joses even devers lol...
This is what is killing baseball Mike? How about lifting the TV blackouts that literally limit eyeballs to the sport. That is one of the biggest problems in the game.
In extra innings I am fine with the team batting 2-3,4, but I am not for making a rule where 1 Batter can hit 3 times in a Row.... How is that fair to the pitcher he gets him out twice and the batter can get 1 lucky swing and beat him Hell No.......
WHAT IN THE FUCK DON
Stop charging $100 for a ticket to not sit in the second and third decks.
I mean honestly if I'm another team pitching versus Aaron judge I'm walking them too until the Yankees put someone behind him that's going to give me any sort of anxiety to pitch to that guy I'm going to keep walking him why pitch to him
The purpose of baseball is to prevent runs and score runs. Aaron judge is so good at hitting that he is weaker at first base with his feet than he is at home plate with a bat. It’s Barry bonds level at this point. I remember Maddux said that facing bonds was easy because there was never a tough choice to make. If it mattered at all, you walk him. That’s where judge is now. You might not see judge get real pitches to hit during a high leverage moment for a long time.
Fake runners at second is ridiculous too. Make the plate bigger. Make these guys swing the bat. Just eliminate intentional walks. Make the pitcher pitch around him.
A flawed team offensively yet they lead MLB in runs?
Judge-Soto-Judge would be wiiiiiiiiiiiild
Funny I bet he had no problem when Bonds was Intentionally walked all the time. He is only complaining because it is about Judge. When he himself said a few weeks ago if no one is going to hit behind him then teams will walk him. Also he said he doesn't understand why teams pitch to him?
Here we go again! Moving the goal post , change the rules to satisfy the big market teams! So make it fair we just change the rules to benefit you. If it’s a new rule so it isn’t cheating or unfair we have more money for better talent. How about getting the rest of your team to step up?! This is a team sport not for the individual. If your team can’t win as a team then go make a league like 3 on 3 and leave our game alone. Ridiculous takes!!!!
