VIDEO: Mic Picks Up Aaron Judge Calling DJ LeMahieu 'Sale Killer' in NSFW Postgame Handshake Line
By Parker White
Aaron Judge may be out of action, but that doesn't mean he's not paying attention and giving his teammates encouragement. After New York's victory over Boston Friday night, Judge was in the handshake line. And through isolated audio, you can hear him call infielder DJ LeMahieu the "Sale Killer," with an expletive mixed in, thanks to great work with the video by Twitter user @Jomboy_. Take a listen:

He's not wrong. LeMahieu was instrumental in Friday night's game, as he recorded two hits off Sale, including a fifth inning solo homer that made it a 4-1 ballgame.
DJ LeMahieu owns Chris Sale tonight ?

In two games against Sale this season, LeMahieu now has three hits, two of which went for extra bases, to go along with three RBI. I'd say he's Sale's worst nightmare when he goes up against the Yankees moving forward.
I mean, Judge is surely not the "Sale Killer," as he's 4-for-20 with one home run and 13 strikeouts against the Boston southpaw. Maybe he can learn from the DJ?
