Doing that too much lately, chasing high in the middle. Especially the fastball.

Judge takes a slider high, 1-0
Pulls off the FB near the corner away again, misses 1-1
Slider low, ball 2
Fb above and inside middle, swings under it, 2-2
FB up to 97, above middle, fouled.
Slider to the outer 3rd, near the corner, fouled off.
Slider 6-8 inches outside waist high, doesn't chase, 3-2
FB at the top in the middle, spoiled.
Same pitch maybe 2 inches closer to him, but he swings under this one for the K, 2 down.

Judge isn't missing by much. I wish he would lay off that high fastball, though. He's got too much of an upper cut to get on top of that pitch with any consistency.
