Max Scherzer leaves first start early
“ Future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer exited his first start as a member of the Blue Jays after just 45 pitches, and Toronto later announced that his departure was due to soreness in his right lat.
As noted by Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, Scherzer battled a thumb issue throughout Spring Training that appeared to be connected to the nerve issue that limited the veteran with the Rangers last season. Throughout camp, Matheson relays that Scherzer indicated that pitching through the thumb issue increased the risk of other injury issues and specifically highlighted his shoulder as a possible area of concern. Scherzer went on to confirm that the issue is related to his thumb, telling reporters (including Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet) that after three innings he told manager John Schneider that there was “imminent danger” of a more serious injury if he continued to pitch.”

The Blue Jays may have attempted a bridge too far.

“The Cardinals should trade for Scherzer. Dewitt owes it to Goldschmidt and the fans”.
My response: “DeWitt owes Goldschmidt? You’re funny.”
He called me an idiot and put me on ignore.
I think time has proven which of us is the idiot.

I don’t have anything against rock - and despite Melville’s naming of players, managers, etc, rock still can claim the greatest one of all by dubbing DeWitt III as “Fredo”.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑30 Mar 2025 10:08 amRocks a good dude...we all have ourpmentsBomber1 wrote: ↑30 Mar 2025 09:50 amThe overly-sensitive Rockondlouie has had me on ignore for about 10 months because he said around last June:scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑30 Mar 2025 08:13 amSome on CT were pissing and moaning that the Cards didn't sign him![]()

I NEVER, EVER said that and now that p r i c k knows why he's been on IGNORE.
I haven't wanted Max since BDWJr passed on him the first time he became a free agent.
Bomber is a total LIAR and an a z z wipe for making s h e e t up.

Less than a year ago you said EXACTLY WHAT I posted above.
I’m curious, between you and me, which has been proven on this site to be liar??
Hint: It ain’t me!
I guarantee there are other posters who remember this exchange.
When one or more of them back me up, what will your response be?
Re: Max Scherzer leaves first start early
Well, at least Scherzer will keep his $1M+ per start pace going.
