Reminds me of the time when Matt Chapman ripped Schneider in the dugout for pitching to Ohtani when Ohtani hit 3HR.

It’s definitely a tough call. Walking him would have created a situation where a double would have tied the game while pitching to him needed a home run to tie the game. I think Rice or Stanton hitting an extra base hit is more likely than Judge hitting a home run (although it is really, really close). I think the fact that there weren’t two outs made the difference.
