Aaron Judge might as well get used to it.
He’s going to get hit now and then. It’s the way of baseball. The only fact in question will involve intent — whether the opposing pitcher meant to hit him, or if the ball “just got away” from the hurler.
And a lot of them will not coincidentally come an at-bat or two after Judge sends one of his adversary’s serves into orbit.
Sometimes, the opposing pitcher receives a small measure of baseball justice and gets tossed, like the Rays’ Matt Andriese did Saturday after he planted a payback pitch in Judge’s ribs to lead off the sixth inning of Tampa Bay’s 9-5 walloping of starter Masahiro Tanaka.
