The Deets
Bruh, Max Scherzer is straight-up a whole mood. So, the Blue Jays were playing the Mariners in Game 4 of the ALCS, right? Scherzer was pitching, and he was feeling himself. He pitched 5 2/3 innings, gave up two runs, and struck out five. But then, the manager, John Schneider, came out to the mound in the fifth. Uh oh.
Scherzer was like, "Nah, fam, I'm good! I'm staying in this game, no cap!" Apparently, it got kinda heated. Sources say he was like, dead serious. But Scherzer wanted that W, and he wasn't backing down. The manager ended up letting him stay in, which is iconic, tbh.
And guess what? The Blue Jays WON! They beat the Mariners 8-2, tying the whole ALCS series. Andres Gimenez went OFF with a home run, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit one too. Gimenez straight carried, fam.
Now it's all tied up, so Game 5 is gonna be absolutely bussin'. Kevin Gausman is pitching for the Blue Jays, and Bryce Miller is up for the Mariners. This is gonna be good.
Oh, and also, Scherzer passed Roger Clemens for fifth all-time in postseason strikeouts. Major W for him!
