Max Scherzer's fall is so sad. This time, I couldn't smile due to the injury.

Scherzer took the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 3 of the 2023 Major League Postseason World Series held at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, USA on the 31st (Korean time) and got off the mound after pitching 3 innings, allowing 2 hits, 2 walks, 1 strikeout, and no runs. come. 먹튀검증사이트

However, Scherzer failed to pitch more than 5 innings this time. In particular, he has not been able to show his good pitching form since returning from injury.

Previously, Scherzer suffered a teres major sprain in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays on the 13th of last month, ending the season in vain. 

Afterwards, he prepared to pitch in fall baseball, and joined the roster starting with the American League Championship Series (ALCS).

However, he is rarely in good shape. In Game 3 of the ALCS, Scherzer's first fall baseball appearance this season, he became the losing pitcher to the Houston Astros, allowing 5 hits (1 home run), 1 walk, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts, and 5 runs in 4 innings. 

He then appeared in Game 7, but was disappointed with 4 hits (1 home run), 2 walks, 2 strikeouts, and 2 runs in 2⅔ innings.

The pitching that day wasn’t bad. 

He walked Ketel with one out, but ended the inning by forcing Moreno into a double play.

But we faced a crisis in the second inning. In the first inning, he allowed a double to leadoff hitter Walker and then a hit to Thomas Pham, but he sent Walker home and brought the mood back. 

In the ensuing crisis with one out and two on base, Scherzer treated Gurriel Jr. with a fly ball to second and blocked Thomas with a grounder to third, ending the inning without allowing a run.

In the third inning, when the team was ahead 3-0, Longoria struck out and Perdomo hit a fly ball to right field. 

Afterwards, he gave up a walk and a wild pitch to Carroll, leading to a crisis with 2 outs and runners on base, but he treated Marte with a fly ball to left field and did not allow a run this time.

However, after that, I suddenly felt pain. Scherzer complained of left back pain.

After consulting with the coaches, he checked his condition by making a practice pitch, but eventually came off the mound with a trainer. 

The Texas mound was replaced by John Gray.

Scherzer’s pitch count that day was only 36. 21 strikes, 15 balls. The maximum distance was 94.8 miles (152.6 km) and the average distance was 93.7 miles (150.8 km). 

Along with 16 fastballs, cutters (7), curves (5), sliders, and change-ups (4) were eliminated.

Meanwhile, in the current game, Texas is leading Arizona 3-0 in the 7th inning.
