Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider had seen enough by the time Aaron Judge stepped to the plate in the second inning Saturday.

The New York Yankees\' otherworldly slugger, less than 24 hours after smashing a 477-foot, two-run home run in the first inning Friday night, had clubbed another two-run shot in the first Saturday. The blast, off Blue Jays right-hander José Berríos, was Judge\'s league-leading 41st of the season. Schneider decided he wasn\'t going to give him a chance for No. 42. So, with nobody on base and two outs, the manager chose to intentionally walk Judge.

Isn't this a pretty standard strategy?

No? The standard strategy is to avoid letting guys get on base and get them out instead.
