One umpire amusingly seemed to think that San Francisco Giants pitcher Blake Snell forgot this fact during the Yankees' 7-5 win over the Giants on Sunday. Facing Judge in the top of the third inning with the count 1-and-0, Snell delivered a changeup near Judge's shins at the bottom of the zone, a borderline pitch for almost any other hitter, but one that home plate umpire Jonathan Parra ruled a ball.

When Snell appeared upset at the call, Parra amusingly gestured at Judge in a you-see-how-tall-this-guy-is sort of way.
