Judge claimed at the time he was upset with the"chirping" in the dugout after manager Aaron Boone was already ejected.Aaron Judge, #99 of the New York Yankees, looks on from the dugout during a game against the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium on May 25, 2023 in Bronx, New York.Bassitt said he did not believe Judge’s story.
"Judge’s response to it? I had no problem with it. Was it a lie? Yeah, it was a lie. … What do you want him to do? Come out and say, ‘Hey, all their pitchers were tipping and I’m gonna tell them how they’re tipping.’ I just think he kind of made up a story just to basically kind of say like I’m not gonna tell them they’re tipping.
