Max started sliding the last 6 weeks of the 2018 season and it looks like he’s still in that rut. He’s wracking up the K’s but he’s also getting shelled. Is this his new norm?
MOst likely.
Tried telling you people this was coming, but nobody wanted to listen. Scherzer ain't the guy he was two years ago, when every time he took the mound, he might throw a no-no. He's come back down to his pre-Cy Young form.
Strasburg is a much more stressing situation. Dude is grooving fastballs to hitters at 93 mph. I was really hoping to get one more year before his arm imploded. At this point, I think they need to try him out of the pen and see if he can get back to 96. Would solve the bullpen issues and we could trade for Bumgarner or another starter.
