With a 2-0 lead in the ALCS, Texas doesn’t need vintage Scherzer. They just need another starter.
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer tosses a baseball as he walks in the outfield during an off day practice before Game 3 of the American League Championship Series, Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023, in Arlington, Texas.ARLINGTON — He is 39. He’s been on the injured list for five weeks with a muscle strain. Before that, it was a forearm issue. Before that, he was dealing with the New York Mess, er, Mets. His last Cy Young Award came six years ago.. Besides, title’s already taken.
From the morning after the injury, Scherzer has eyed this return. He went out that day, while awaiting imaging results and did his regular post-start workout. Within a week he was picking up a ball and tossing lightly, “flicking it,” in his words. At the two-week mark, he was getting on a mound. Once he smelled the possibility of a return, the club had to hold on for dear life.
“I wasn’t as annoying as I usually am on the IL,” Scherzer said Tuesday with a laugh. “But there was a reason: It was the postseason.”Said pitching coach Mike Maddux about Scherzer’s drive on the IL: “When he came out there to throw the first time, I was stunned. I said: ‘I thought you were hurt.’ He said: ‘I think I can do this.’ And he knows his body better than anyone. From that point on, I was busy. I did a lot of listening. He used a lot of words and terms I just don’t know.
