Where is the DH Aaron Judge??

Why in the world is Judge not in today’s starting lineup as the DH??

At least give him a chance to up his batting average and possibly achieve a Triple Crown. I understand protecting him for the playoffs, but weigh that against the chance for a Triple Crown, with Judge as the DH, seems like a no-brainer. If he makes an out in his first plate appearance, then take him out. Keep him in the lineup as the DH until he makes an out. Then take him out. At least Judge would get an opportunity.

I look back at Ted Williams on September 28, 1941, the last day of that season, he went 6 for 8 in a doubleheader and afterwards had a batting average of .406. An average of .400 has NEVER been achieved again. Williams took a chance and was rewarded for it.

Judge riding the bench in the last game of 2022 does NOT even give him a chance for a Triple Crown!! The only way Judge should be on the bench, is if Judge asked to sit this one out. If it’s a Boone decision, then I just despise Boone that much more!!
