Clarke Schmidt expressed disbelief at the Guardians' strategy, noting that intentionally walking a player to face Aaron Judge could provoke a stronger response from the star hitter.
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt explained the decision to walk Juan Soto was based on the hope that Aaron Judge would hit into a double play rather than gain to win the game.
Despite Judge having a chance to be the game changer, he contributed with a sacrifice fly which ignited his determination, showing the impact of strategic decisions.
The decision to walk Soto was controversial, with Schmidt fueling the conversation by saying such moves can provoke top players to elevate their game and perform.
