Aaron Judge broke up a double play by blocking the throw with his hand and somehow wasn't called for interference

Though it would actually be pretty awesome if MLB allowed players to contest throws like on-ball defense in basketball, it is not allowed in baseball.

But just think if it was a thing … Aaron Judge would be an elite shot blocker.

We saw that on Sunday, and it was bad news for the Milwaukee Brewers.

With Alex Verdugo hitting in the sixth inning, a grounder to second should have been an easy double play. Judge was out at second, but when it came time for Willy Adames’ throw to first, we could see as Judge reached up his left hand (with the oven-mitt guard) and knocked down the throw.

Now, this should have been called interference with Verdugo ruled out at first. But the umpires convened and determined that Judge didn’t interfere on the throw. I mean ….

That was awfully clear.

It only got worse for the Brewers after that as the Yankees scored seven runs in the inning. So, the non-call on the interference completely changed the game for Milwaukee as Giancarlo Stanton’s fly out the next at-bat would have ended the inning. Instead, it was seven runs for New York.

Still, it wasn’t a play we see very often, and MLB fans had plenty of thoughts on Judge’s block.
