Appearances
Like he did the things that he's been known to do.
voice-verified
He just executed them at an extremely high level.
voice-verified
And he didn't even really need his defense to do much behind him either.
voice-verified
It was the fa the fastball and slider, especially.
voice-verified
That was the combination.
voice-verified
He threw 60 fastballs and sliders in this game.
voice-verified
30 of them were either
voice-verified
called strikes or swing and miss.
voice-verified
So th in on thirty of those pitches you could conceivably get a strikeout and the opposition was doing absolutely nothing with them.
voice-verified
It was it was a honestly it was just a joy to see again a performance from him that was a bit of a throwback and something that we weren't exactly sure he could still do.
voice-verified
When you get a pitcher at this point in their career, often you think, okay, you know, the velocity is gonna be down potentially, the strikeout's gonna be down, but they still have that sense for pitching, and so maybe they can go out there and they can, you know, they can surprise hitters with their plan of attack, they can use diminished stuff, but they can locate it and they can be respectable.
voice-verified
And there's been times where Scherzer to his credit has been even more than respectable for the blue.
voice-verified
J's, but there's also been a fair amount of struggles too.
voice-verified
It's been an uneven era for Scherzer in Toronto and bringing him back this year was a bit of a controversial move, especially at a time when
voice-verified
they felt like they had quite a few starting pitching options and it was worth wondering, you know
voice-verified
Do you have to throw a couple million dollars in Max Schuster just to be another option?
voice-verified
What's gonna happen if you have other healthy pitchers who are better suited to just go out there and give you better production, who are more consistent, who are staying healthier?
voice-verified
Could you use him in the bullpen?
voice-verified
Does he become almost a player?
voice-verified
Like there's a lot of this stuff hovering around.
