New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge sent a blunt and clear message to the Toronto Blue Jays broadcasters that made shocking cheating insinuations on Monday night.

Dan Shulman and Buck Martinez discussed on the broadcast that Judge kept looking over at the dugout for some reason. Many latched onto this and implied that they accused the star Yankee slugger of cheating. Though, opponents of that opinion have said he might have caught onto the pitcher tipping his pitches. If that’s the case, MLB doesn’t outlaw picking up on pitch-tipping; those are just the rules of the road.

Judge did not take kindly to what the broadcasters had to say. MLB.com reporter Bryan Hoch, who covers the Yankees, said Judge had “some choice words” for Shulman and Martinez but declined to offer them. But he did have this to say.

“I’m not happy about it, but people can say what they want,” Judge said. “I’ve still got a game to play. I’ve got things to do.”

You rarely hear Aaron Judge chime in like this, so you must imagine he was pretty perturbed by it all.

And obviously, there is the factor that it’s the New York Yankees, and they’re one of those teams that will be a lightning rod no matter what.

The sports world reacted to the blunt message Aaron Judge sent on the cheating accusations.
