Max Scherzer

[fan_since79]

He's about to go 11-0. 

0.91 WHIP

.189 BAA

116 K's in 96 innings. Only 24 Walks.

 

We may see him on Thursday. At least we will not see Verlander this time around.

It must be nice to have a good pitching staff.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

He's probably the leading candidate for the Cy Young. Verlander is having a somewhat off year (by his standards). The Tigers have a really good top of the rotation (Verlander, Scherzer and Fister).

Those numbers are insane. He's got to be close to some records.

The team is on pace to shatter the all-time record for strikeouts by a pitching staff.

In 646 innings this season, Tigers pitchers have struck out 683 hitters. At 9.52 strikeouts per nine innings, they're on pace over 162 games to punch out 1,558. It would be a staggering 11 percent increase over the previous high, set a decade ago by the Kerry Wood-Mark Prior-Carlos Zambrano Cubs. They walked 617. The Tigers are on pace to walk 431.

[Angel Oracle]

Don't they have a long time success pitching coach?

[tdawg87]

And away we go

Detroit's pitching coach is Jeff Jones. Hired in 2011, had never been a pitching coach at the major league level. Long time bullpen coach for the Tigers.

[Angelsjunky]

Don't forget Anibal Sanchez, and Rick Porcello isn't bad for a #5.  Best rotation in baseball by a long shot.

[Ohtaniland]

We have Joe Blanton.

Some of these players are still on the juice. He might be one of them.

[Marsaka]

Who did Arizona trade him for?

Who did Arizona trade him for?

On December 9, 2009, Scherzer was traded along with Daniel Schlereth, Phil Coke and Austin Jackson to the Detroit Tigers as part of a three team trade that brought Ian Kennedy and Edwin Jackson to the Diamondbacks and Curtis Granderson to the New York Yankees.[6]

[fan_since79]

He's 12-0 now, the first pitcher since 1986 to do that.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

The Angels are fortunate that they didn't have to face him or Verlander this year.

H/T @EliasSports Max Scherzer is 1st in MLB history to go unbeaten in 1st 16 starts of season with at least 120 strikeouts

[Vegas Halo Fan]

We have Joe Blanton.

 

With a little luck Blanton could have been the anti-Scherzer at 0-11.

[HaloFan85]

It definitely helps to go 12-0 with that offense.

 

He'd be 6-6 on the Angels.

The Cardinals would give you an argument there.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

The Angels traded for the wrong Arizona pitcher.
