But the Yankees’ assistant hitting coach has seen the speculation that the comment, which has since gone viral, was directed at him.
“I’d like to hear it from his end, but stuff happens,” Wilkerson said at Rogers Centre on Wednesday before the series continued. “We try to stay in our dugout. Some things happened over at third base and we were trying to defend our guys. I didn’t know anything about it until after the game when I saw the writeups and [it was] shown all over TV.
The heated moment in Tuesday night’s game came in the third inning when Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker barked at Yankees third base coach Luis Rojas for being out of the coaching box. That was a carryover from Monday’s game, when the Blue Jays suspected Aaron Judge was picking up signs from first-base coach Travis Chapman before crushing his second home run of the night.
