Aaron Judge is on the cusp of breaking a once-in-a-generation record, and New York Yankees fans have just about had enough of opposing pitchers walking the Yankees superstar.

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Spenser Watkins received some unsavory jeers from the Yankee crowd as the Orioles' coaching staff instructed him to walk Aaron Judge. Not only were the fans in attendance incensed, but those on Twitter expressed their opinion on the matter as well.

Aaron Judge finished the game with a statline of two walks, two strikeouts and one run scored. Yankees fans were angered at the way Judge was treated by opposing pitchers. Meanwhile, non-Yankees fans and neutrals expressed their disgust towards the special treatment that the Yankees fans were calling for their superstar.

Whichever side of the argument you're on, it surely makes for some interesting points as a huge record is on the line.


Aaron Judge's magnificent September

Judge batted an insane .417/.565/.869 with an OPS of 1.434 to go along with his 10 home runs, 17 RBIs, and eight doubles in just one month. September also saw the Yankees stabilize their playoff quest by going 17-8. This was a stark contrast to their baffling month of August that saw them have a 10-18 record.

The American League MVP conversation is constantly brought up when Judge is talking to the media. However, the outfielder has maintained that he is not focused on individual accolades. He has expressed that helping the Yankees lift the World Series crown is the most important thing.

With the Yankees squaring off against the Texas Rangers next, fans might very well see Judge strike for the fences and cement his name in MLB history.
