Yoshinobu Yamamoto‘s excellent outing in Game 2 against the Toronto Blue Jays gave the Los Angeles Dodgers a tie in the World Series. There was no way the Japanese pitcher was going to be hurt, as from the moment he stepped on the mound, he knew the game was his and no one was going to take it away from him.
Now, ahead of game three of the Fall Classic, Max Scherzer has been named by the Jays. The player is already a veteran of the Major Leagues, but he is still maintaining a high level at 41 years of age.
However, Dodgers fans ripped him for his age, as they consider him to have a ‘dead arm’, and that will give them an advantage for their team. Although the games should be played and not celebrated ahead of time, because as the saying goes, ‘don’t count your chickens before they hatch’.
Max Scherzer, a winner in every sense of the word
Despite the criticism and ridicule received by the Toronto pitcher, it is worth remembering that Max Scherzer is a triple winner of the Cy Young trophy. Although this went unnoticed by several of the Angels’ followers, who took out everything they had inside to heat up game 3.
Bring that dead arm to Dodger Stadium, son.
This is how one of the many Angels fans expressed it.
Okay. He will not have two good postseason starts in a row.
While another left his feelings this way.
Kershaw vs Mad Max in a senior showdown.
This was said by another, alluding to the age of the Toronto pitcher.
Ol Dead Arm, I’ll light him up like a Christmas tree.
For some, it was colorful.
Guys, about to be set on fire. This time, the dead arm can’t save you, buddy.
Another one that alluded to the player’s age.
Scherzer made his postseason appearance in Game 4 against the Seattle Mariners, and in this Fall Classic he will do so for the third game. He hopes to silence many critics with his performance.
For Scherzer, pitching in another World Series is a stroke of luck
In 2019, with the Washington Nationals, Max Scherzer won the first of his two World Series. Now that he is going for his third championship ring, he is excited about the possibility of starting in a game that will be vital to his team’s aspirations.
This is what you play for, to be able to get to this point, to get to this moment, to have the opportunity
Scherzer said, adding.
Think about all the things that have happened to you throughout your life.
How lucky to have another chance. There are so many great players who never made it to a World Series, so many great players who only won one.
This was the feeling of the veteran pitcher, who is facing a unique opportunity to continue writing his name in gold letters in the history of Major League Baseball.
