The Red Sox Foolishly Decided To Pitch To Aaron Judge And The MVP Responded By Blasting His 56th and 57th Homers Of The Season

It's come to the point where if you decide to seriously pitch to him he's hitting a home run. The entire inning revolves around you trying to get to a position where you can pitch around or him or just outright give him first. The Sox don't know what they're doing on the pitching end so naturally they decided to challenge the behemoth. You can see how that went.
Judge entered Tuesday on a 5 game homer-less streak. For any mortal out there that's absolutely nothing to care about, but for him it raises questions despite him still hitting .444 in that mini-stretch. Well, what did he do tonight to make up for that "slump?" How's a two homer night to help the Yankees pick up a big win in Fenway? The MVP doing MVP things. We haven't seen someone outpace the rest of the league in homers like this since Ruth.
On pace now for 65 homers. There's only one correct MVP vote and it's for 99.
P.S. Shout out to Gleyber Torres for finally staying inside on a ball and driving it to right center. We've witnessed two months of this dude pulling every single pitch like the captors of his family were demanding it. Good things happen when Gleyber is going the opposite way, and tonight a great thing happened.
