Max Scherzer, The Biggest Psycho in Baseball
#MLB #Baseball #MaxScherzer
I've always hated baseball, my entire life refused to have anything to do with it. One day one of your vids popped onto my reccomended and I watched it then all the rest. Since then I have been to 6 mlb games. Thank you so much for what you do man
@Michael C same, this happened to me with hockey and baseball. I used to just watch soccer and NFL before
That's what it's all about.
@Vincent Daly I didn't hate baseball or hockey I just didn't watch it often, but since I'm Mediterranean I've always liked soccer, and football was always big in my family too. I think something that stopped me from getting into baseball originally was that people kept saying that it's the most boring sport so I never watched, but when you actually watch a full game it's entertaining (at least for me)
Baseball is awesome.
Same thing happened to me with anyone with balls.
His catcher stopping the game to give him an unfair fantasy football trade is just downright hilarious
Ik i told my grandpa and he laughed for a bit lol
proving he's not a psychopath, he just has small genitals and anger issues
Modern problems require modern solutions
Those piss me off too.
Lmfao! That’s amazing! 😂
It’s a complete shame that MLB is so absurdly incompetent at marketing their players, cause Max is truly one of the great enigmas in the history of American sports and yet so few really know about it.
He is un marketable.
He throws tantrums and comes across as a huge jerk - not much is marketable about that in my opinion. He’s clearly a talented pitcher but I don’t know if that’s enough to outweigh how very unlikeable he is.
@@mdurham2137 are you kidding me? One of the most enjoyable aspects in all of baseball history has been its ability to go from a calm dignified sport to a complete shitshow. The fact that the MLB isn’t utilizing someone like Scherzer who’s so performatively both calm and insane shows poor knowledge of their fan base and it’s desires
he is a straight white male in the "current year"
Seriously. The casual viewer thought Strasburg was the hottest shit.
Hearing these crazy stories about Scherzer and Grenke makes me extremely regret not paying more attention to baseball when I was growing up in the 2010’s
YESS......FUCKING MY EXACT THOUGHTS.....I watch some of this shit their talking about from those two and im like.....hell yeah man i would have considered/done that too! hahahahaha
I stopped following baseball back in the early 2000s when I quit to play lacrosse right before my teens. Now my son plays 8u and since the two of us have horrible ADHD we’ve been obsessed with it again. I’m so sad I missed the Harper era of baseball. We’ve been watching nothing but baseball since May.
Max is gonna be pissed at his HOF induction cause it means he’s not starting that day.
Lmfaoooo 😭
He just shows up and rips the entire ceremony. Insisting they all go outside and play so he can dominate. Anyone who challenges him in any way he has a bat, ball and glove ready to go. Those aren't necessarily for playing...
Hall of what, hall of psychos wll be. No HOF for this psycho.
LOL
🤣🤣🤣😁👍
Nats fan here with a little story about Max: In December 2019, two months after he won the World Series, I ran into Max and his wife at the mall in Tyson’s Corner. I approached him and said “hey max” and he acknowledged me but started to turn around. I get it. He’s with his wife and doesn’t want to be bothered. But I was with my family, too, and told him: “you’ve got two massive fans over there who would love to congratulate you.” My two sons - who still wear his jersey - were standing a couple feet away. He walked up to them, asked their names, and shook their hands. He is still my oldest son’s favorite player.
I’ll always appreciate that moment.
He and his wife seem like genuinely awesome people. Advocating for the LGBTQ community, rescuing shelter animals and she is an ambassador for a nonprofit to stop human trafficking. Definitely good people to look up to for sure.
That’s awesome!!!!
Some athletes would just ignore fans out in public when they're with family cause they want to spend time with their loved one.
Especially if they're a big name celebrity who has cameras on them every where they go
@@darkghastful wow so he's only a crazy person when he's competing against people, that's good to hear
awesome story. These guys don't owe us their time off the field, and I totally understand wanting to be left alone and treated like anyone else while they're out in public, but it's really cool when these guys take the time to interact with the younger fans. That is something they will remember for the rest of their life, and will keep the true spirit of baseball alive, to hopefully be passed on to their kids one day.
As a nats fan I’ve watched Max for years. He’s literally the nicest, silliest dude in the world off the mound. The argument he had with Strasburg is the only time I’ve seen him in conflict with anybody. He’s definitely crazy but he’s no psychopath.
He's one of my all time favorite players if not favorite. As a Nats fan Im upset he's a Dodger, but hell of a career as a Nat.
That's why he is so well respected, everyone understands his outburst are purely a result of his competitiveness, that it's nothing personal and any feud is over as soon as the ballgame, or training session, is over
Nothing was better than days max started
Did anyone ever find out what the fight was over?
@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind then there is me a tigers fan being depressed that we lost all of our pitchers
He used his anger obviously as fuel. He knew it. Love this guy
I'd love to see Scherzer and Zack Greinke inducted to the Hall of Fame at the same time. Those back to back speeches would be insane.
probably Psychology professors might put it on lectures for case study lol
Scherzer will be a no doubt 1st ballot. Greinke might take a couple years before he gets in. So we'd need Scherzer's career to go at least 1-2 years longer than Greinke to get that to work I think. Would be great to see!
Bro🤣🤣
Imagine both of them Staying in Arizona. You'd have 2 aces and not be in a perpetual seller dweller position. Sucks being a dbacks fan sometimes.
@@garrydhintz8017 The next Johnson and Schilling??🤔
As someone who has seen Max in game many times, you can literally hear him snarl and growl on the mound within like 15 rows of the field. He’s my favorite player ever to watch.
We get it. You go to baseball games
True story
@@stephenadams2354 you’re “that” guy aren’t you?
@@jeremiahhowe2956 absolutely
@@stephenadams2354 buford 😂😂
Can we please talk about how well the catcher knew Scherzer when he offered the unfair trade? That right there is knowing your pitcher and knowing exactly how to fire them up 😂😂😂
It kinda pulls apart the whole "he's crazy and no one likes him" narrative, so we don't talk about that lol
@@bruhayy3331 how you feelin about obj now lol
That’s an attribute of a good catcher: knowing what will get your pitcher going on his off days
Right, I thought that was genius. Lmao
His managers too. I think they know exactly what they're doing when they "try" to pull him in big situations.
The fact that he was so emotionally destroyed after his brother committed suicide is proof he's not a true psychopath. The man just has insane drive and work ethic.
Many psychopaths still feel deep love for their parents, siblings, spouse, kids etc… I’d argue the fact he was back playing the next day actually supports the idea that he’s a psychopath.
@@robertmurphy1974 exactly lol
I'm 4 minutes into this video and I'm not watching anymore. This is just made up stuff by this youtuber for views. He may have mental health issues but the claim he's a psychopath based on this is ridiculous
@@robertmurphy1974 isnt that sociopaths
@@justyoureverydayskater3110 yeah I guess so, the terms are somewhat interchangeable but sociopath is probably more accurate
My favorite clip of the whole video is where he has a black eye and a busted nose and he said, "I felt zero pain tonight". True Psycho Stuff.
I was wounded in combat and didn't realize it until one of my guys said "Sergeant, you're bleeding!" Focus is an amazing thing, and Scherzer has the ability to get into a zen-like state.
Adrenaline
i broke my nose from a baseball and I can confirm adrenaline takes away the pain, until you get to the hospital
JUICE!
@@donairsauce2496
In little league, my son playing short stop took a hard drive bad hop to the nose.
Moms were crying at the sight of all the blood while my boy was pissed.
I’d buy a ticket to hear the conversations he has to himself on the mound.
Me too lol haha
Mic him up!
That's why we have Jomboy.
Same
😂
Max is an absolute savage. And for anybody still entertaining the "psychopath" question, just take a few minutes searching up how much charity work this guy does for his community outside the sport. That should answer any lingering questions. Considering psychopaths lack the ability to feel empathy, they aren't very keen on donating a bunch of their time and/or money toward helping those who are less fortunate. Although, I suppose one could possibly do this if they felt it benefitted them in some way... but I highly doubt it.
He’s kinda the human version of a rodeo bull when they’re working they’re completely nutz but alot of them the rest the time are pretty much a 1700lb golden retriever
I agree. Considering how he rolls on the team, he sure doesn't seem to care too much about perception of himself or getting ahead for brown-noser reasons.
Dude, come on, man. You're seriously aren't falling for the "community + charity = empathy" play are you?
@@54raceman he's the MLB's version of Brian Dawkins. Great guy off the field, but an absolute maniac when its game time
Psychos are also very manipulative. Who's to say that he doesn't do that specifically to throw people off his trail?
Scherzers the kind of guy that we should all be thankful he is great at baseball. If he wasn’t an incredible pitcher, we would all be watching a documentary about his dozens of victims in 45 years
Haha 😂
Fr🥣🥣🥣
I did some googling on Scherzer the other day, he apparently does tons of charity work. He hosts and participates in multiple charitavle events every year, so even though he's a psycho on the mound it sounds like he's got a heart of gold
Psychopaths always participate in this kind of thing. Plenty of serial killers were volunteers and such. Obviously not every psychopath is a serial killer.
@@michaelmccomb4045 SPOOPY 😱
Jimmy Savile did a lot of charity work, but he was a kiddie fiddler, morgue rat, accomplice of the Yorkshire Ripper and spymaster.
@@michaelmccomb4045 psychopaths don’t experience genuine emotions tho this doesn’t display a psychopath it j shows someone that needs a lot of anger management
Alot of rich people do this for tax reasons instead of out of the goodness of their hearts.
Max is just a bulldog competitor!! He's a throwback. He's passionate, and he cares! He's like a football player playing baseball!
Max could easily have been that Navy SEAL or Green Beret who is just literally too angry to die.
Maybe not green beret, you can get kicked out by peer review during q course.
Never would have passed the psych evaluation. :)
On the job, no. As a family, yes. Your job’s in those two field’s are to not care if you die, and make sure you do your job, while making sure your co-worker’s don’t die.
@@mockingslur6945 Can someone on TH-cam for once, just take a joke as the joke that it is and not act like it's some dissertation that is up for being refuted?
@@TR-zx1lc I just think it should be a choice. Where are you going with this?
As a Nationals fan, I always found myself to be extremely lucky to get to see him pitch every 5 days. I even got to see his 20k game in person. So many epic memories that I'll never forget. I also loved when Scherzer's wife went into labor, and rather than go be with his wife he pitched that day and threw a complete game, and then went to the hospital right after.
I went to that game too, he's my favorite to watch
So instead of being with his wife he chose to pitch first. Yeah sounds like a real classy guy and not a psychopath. NOT!!!
@@mikehunthurst6953 The average MLB game takes over 3 hours, he got it done in 2:37 and left right after, still in uniform I believe.
I was there too also for his near perfect game I was sitting right behind are teams dugout best experience
@@mikehunthurst6953 The husband being in the birthing room with his wife is only a recent phenomenon in the last 40 years or so. All through human history men weren't there.
Hey
I'm European and I've never watched a real baseball game in my life, but I do enjoy these videos: proof again that enthusiasm and knowledge can make anything interesting
thanks for the content!
Georgetown university: *has graduation at Nationals Park*
Max: "I don't care about what you nerds are doing, I'm going to play catch in right field"
I would have been damn glad to have Max throwing in the background when I graduated.
What a self centered a hole
Hoya nerd here. Would have LOVED to have had him out there during my graduation.
Absolutely a narcissistic a hole.
Good, graduation ceremonys are lame anyway.
As a Nationals fan. This guy is a hall of famer and one of my favorite pitchers of all time. Thanks, Max.
As a Tigers fan I am so glad to have witnessed his rise to dominance
As a Mets fan he isn’t my favorite pitcher but he is definitely a hof

@@RSndlrCBG yeah if he has not played on your team you probably don’t love him cause he is filthy against literally everyone especially the mets
@@Karmy. how can you not cry when saying "as a tigers fan"
First MLB game I ever went to, he happened to be pitching. I noticed his velocity went up throughout the game instead of down. In the 9th inning he was sitting 98-99 after throwing like 100 pitches.
Sounds like not happy JV

Max is a beast. He'd have excelled in 2000's MLB, when pitchers tried to pitch the CG every night.
uh maybe steroid era wouldn’t be the best for any good pitcher now
@@thunder7433 Is that how people view the 2000s? I've never really thought about it before. I'm gonna have to give it some thought.
I remember when he didn’t average 6 innings a game lol (first to win a cy young without averaging 6 innings
Facts man
IMO, you need to go further than 00s for CGs being a big part of the game...80s, or 70s.....
His voice just makes me interested in everything he posts. I've caught up on every video he posted. The Greinke one was the first.
It’s the music too. The intro music just sets the mood so well.
The Greinke one was the first for me too.
I thought you were talking about Scherzer at first..
I urge everyone to read ESPN's article on how Max and his family dealt with Alex Scherzer taking his own life. They're surprisingly open and candid about the situation and it may help someone who has a family member dealing with severe depression.
I couldn’t find the article, do you have the link still by chance? All good if not it’s just interesting to me and I have some friends with depression
Sanchez, Robert. “Max Scherzer: A Brother's Passage.” ESPN, 6 Apr. 2013.
thank you for this
I gotta be honest …… everything you said about him here only makes me love this guy. There is a huge difference between aggression and passion/intensity. It is why he is so successful.
Max is going to be the only pitcher ever who will be PISSED OFF when he's inducted into Cooperstown
Lmaoo for real
Welp, he’ll just have to stay pissed off on that one because he is a first ballot hall of famer guaranteed! And he’s going into Cooperstown and baseball immortality WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT! On the real though. I love Mad Max.
Lol
😂😂😂 Gold
We need guys like max scherzer in our lives
I watched him come up thru the Tigers org. I always told my buddies losing him was a bigger mistake than letting Verlander go. Not just the age difference, Max was crazy then and pitched like it too.
It was the true downfall of the Tigers. They haven't been the same since

I’m a Cardinals fan. Max Scherzer is the modern Bob Gibson. Hyper competitive, a mean slider to go with an awesome fastball, ferocity on the mound, but a gentleman off it.
I can agree with that comparison.
Gibson was one of my favorite players as a kid. Batters feared for their life when he was on the mound. He didnt mind giving a player a close shave if they crowded the plate.
The difference is that Gibson was an act. He put on a show to intimidate opponents. Max is just like that.
@@allenburns3177 When Dusty Baker came up with the Braves, Hank Aaron told him, "'Don't dig in against Bob Gibson; he'll knock you down. He'd knock down his own grandmother if she dared to challenge him. Don't stare at him, don't smile at him, don't talk to him. He doesn't like it. If you happen to hit a home run, don't run too slow, don't run too fast."
As a Giants fan, when Psycho Scherzer was traded to the Dodgers I was like, "fuuuuuuuck!"
Same here
Sm i wanted him and gausman to be the new duo
He's gonna be fun to watch partying during the parade.
@Carlos Shepard SF should be afraid, very afraid.
@@kyleadam6728 It's "Shepherd", like the dog or the Bible. As for the Dodgers, you'd think with all the money they've spent and have the highest payroll (174 Million) in MLB, that they wouldn't be chasing the Giants (108 Million payroll) for the last 5 months and are still chasing them going into September. We'll see how the season ends and who's in the post-season as the division winner or the wild card. Either way, it should be a great post season!
This man is a literal anime protagonist, different colored eyes, the determination for practicing and serious about it every time he ever does it, continued his job after almost dying, and even has self monologues when he's up to pitch.
@@zacheray you mean Diamond no Ace?
Damn that's got a lot of eps
One of my all time favorite pitchers and had the pleasure of seeing him pitch a 2-0 shutout. One of the best changeups in baseball so deceptive. So fun to watch.
I think he's just really hard on himself and (overly)competitive. I like this guy. And there's no way he's using sticky stuff because HE wants the glory.
A true psychopath doesnt care about winning wth their own talents. They don't even care about winning itself they just care about getting ahead. If he's not using the sticky stuff that's proof he isn't a psycho.
@@1313tennisman Plenty of psychopaths most definitely care about “winning”, even if it’s by any means necessary. Claiming that not cheating, or getting caught cheating, is proof enough that someone’s not a “true” psychopath is kind of absurd. Nobody’s 100% psychopathic, or 100% “normal”, because psychopathic traits manifest differently in different people.
@@1313tennisman Hes never cheated. As the first guy stated "Max does it for the Glory."
He’s not a psychopath. Just super competitive. You don’t break down in tears over your brother if your a psychopath. Psychopaths don’t care about anyone, but themselves.
May have forgot to mention, I don’t think he’s a psychopath
Even with setbacks and tragedy he demonstrated what someone can accomplish if he has the will and determination.
I'll never forget watching him start an All-Star game. The camera is moving around to all of the different players, all smiling, laughing, having a good time, and then it got to Scherzer as he stepped on the rubber to throw the first pitch, looking furious, and from reading his lips, said something something "fucking ball."
One thing for sure I know about him is that he has a great pain tolerance, Jesus Christ.
Trust me when you pay tens of millions to someone to throw a ball you make sure there's plenty of tools and tricks on standby to keep them going they even said it took 5 cortisol shots to keep him going when his shoulder was injured right before they won the world series, they also give them epinephrine shots (adrenaline) numbing agents and painkillers prescribed by the team doctor, they don't let injuries stop them from making millions in revenue for their organization and their city especially when they have control over who goes into their facility they can just bring medication that's illegal right to him or have the team doctor who's paid to prescribe medication to the players to give it to him which is what usually happens
Jesus has nothing to do with his pain tolerance. I would say quite the opposite. He made deal with the devil.
It’s normal for me to eat 2 burritos from chipotle when I go, and I’m pretty competitive. The resemblance is uncanny really, I’m basically Max
My condolences to your toilet.
@@itheuserfirst3186 That was hilarious. Much respect.
@@itheuserfirst3186 His underwear is safe with Chipotlaway
But can you pitch like this Psycho?
But can you paint the entire inside of your toilet feeling zero pain?
I didn't know about his brother taking his own life so sad hope hes resting in peace now and Max is a beast and is one of my favorite pitchers of all time
Imagine if Scherzer and Nolan Ryan had played at the same time and faced each other? Arguably The toughest pitcher in baseball history vs the most psychotic in baseball currently? That would be awesome!
Throw in Randy Johnson!

I don’t even like baseball… but your content is not only getting me into it, but makes me want to step my content up as well. Keep doing great things!
It's a very simple and very complicated game.
There's no clock and the defence has the ball.
If you watch a season on tv you'll start to figure it out.
And the more you know about it the more you'll enjoy it.
Hi I'm more of a hockey, football guy. Even with me being closely related to a former Major Leaguer. (Although his time in the Majors was short lived but still). I kinda view Bryce Harper as a crazy mad-temperered Psycho more than Max
Hi Mikerophone love your vids but yeah love his videos as well
Mike!
I don't like baseball either BUT this video was insanely informative and interesting!

The heterochromia definitely adds to the Crazy Eyes!

Plus, he has one brown eye and 1 blue eye. I was a groundskeeper when he first came to the tigers, and was the No.2 picture behind Verlander. It was almost impossible to look him in the eye(s) while talking to him. In real life, he's just a great guy.
Scherzer has that MJ "taking everything personal" , so he can go ultra instinct
There may be some trauma in his past. I think he's a legend.
The Nationals need a statue of him at their stadium and I hope he goes into the HOF as a National
He definitely will I think
Ah yeah he gets into the HOF he will be a National because he won the World Series with them :P
Idk how long he will stay playing but hopefully he does as a National. It only makes sense. Detroit doesn’t and idk how long he will be with the Dodgers but I doubt enough titles or accolades to surpass everything he did in Washington. Even if he were to win 2 championships with them idk how you overtake the body of work in a Nats uni.
I absofuckinglutley LOVE Scherzer, him being traded to the Dodgers literally made my week
Dodgers are loaded with players I like: Mookie, Turner, Bellinger, Kelly, Kershaw and Scherzer. I'm still a Sox fan but if it comes down to us I wont even care if the Sox lose. These Dodgers have been to 3 WS in the last 4 years. They've just killed it recently.

People think singlehood encourages criminal behavior. Yet, alot of our prominent career criminals are married with children.

Sherzer had a massive reversal of fortune in 2023, was on a sinking ship of the overpaying mets team, then got traded late in the season and became a Texas Ranger, then the rangers won the WS Championship!
Hes both crazy on the field, and also CRAZY LUCKY.
Scherzer's stare down of Girardi on day one of inspections is one of my favorite moments ever of Max.
I was at the black eye game. It was truly incredible seeing Max throw 7 shutout innings with 10 strikeouts while he had a broken nose and a massive shiner. This man is truly a legend, psychopath or not
I love how in the 3 weeks after this video was posted he has been on an absolute tear. Pitched another immaculate inning, took a perfect game late into a game and is being talked about as the greatest deadline acquisition of all time
Dude may get as much money per year as Bauer did.

@@dannybo1472 And now he'll need Tommy John surgery one month into the season. If you're a Mets fan like me, you know SOMETHING will go wrong.
Nahh he probably watched this video in its entirety and took offence.
So he didn’t throw a perfect game. Cool.
He's no psychopath. Just a determined and angry individual.
Scherzer isn't a psychopath. He's just a very competitive, talented, intense guy. I worry about him though. After he retires, all of those injuries he's sustained over the years and "played through" could eventually impact his mobility and quality of life.
I worry about him finding a purpose in his life when he retires. He lives and breathes baseball. I hope he finds something to replace it.
It might be a good thing that he can channel his personality through competition in baseball. There's no telling what he'd be known for if he worked at 7/11.
They’d probably have the best damn Slurpees on planet Earth!!! Lol
Cleanest gas station bathrooms in the Milky Way.
Notice he never fights
Fair point. I couldn’t imagine a man of his stature and with those eyes being intense outside of a field lol
@@shadowsanddust2 Yeah because he's restraining himself lol
@6:23 i can fully understand what he did and was going through. In 1997 my father took his life on my birthday, the day of his funeral i was dragged off the baseball field to go say my goodbye to him with my family. I didn't want to leave, i didn't want to leave my team without their first baseman. And Honestly you get pissed when a family member takes their own life and leaves you hanging, so i fully understand what he was going through in all ways !!!
@M W yeah its was on my birthday but Honestly we didn't find out until valentine's day when police and fire were called in to check his trailer he was living in... so his note was dated on my birthday and the corner dated him on the same day for death. So January 31st has been a bi-polar birthday day for me and also on February 14th..
@Z BEAR I'm sorry brother . It's not your fault
@@mr.makedonija2627 thank you. I know it's not now but I wish I did the rest of my life.

The biggest psychopaths in politics would be a week long special. the world got kidnapped by criminals disguised as honorable people.
Being from DC all I can say when I see Mad Max is thank you so much! Brought the intensity our previous teams were missing even when the talent was there to get to the promised land
Never met him but forever in doubt to him for making my baseball fandom complete
Also it's important to note that Scherzer's behavior isn't indicative of a real psychopath at all. Psychopaths actually show much less real emotion than average people.
I think you're thinking about sociopaths
@@shutout951 you have it backwards. I'll quote a medical source.
"Although they are both a type of antisocial personality disorder, they have different traits. Sociopaths have severe mood swings, while psychopaths have very few emotions."
If we take away all their defenses and look at them exposed for exactly who they are, the sociopath seems like an evil human but the psychopath doesn't seem human at all. They are like empty shells where no soul exists.
Not a psychopath just a really competitive guy
Bob Gibson was similar in demeanor, extremely focused on the mound, refused to come out of games. Tough guy, who most people were afraid of. Did what he had to do to win, first ballot Hall of Famer……Nolan Ryan was similar, all business, nasty inside pitches…..you don’t screw with these kind of guys. Max may be a bit extreme but it’s made him the best pitcher in baseball for the last 10 years
Just a driven and committed individual. No one can accuse him of hot dogging it. Love Max!
He's like Rob Dibble x3 times the intensity and talent.
Only 48 seconds in and I am already very interested…
It’s for sure a great Video!
That’s this guy for you
Bruh I was interested as soon as I saw the thumbnail
Talking shit to yourself on the mound is completely relatable lmao 😂
I LOVE Max Scherzer. Sports in general desperately need more competitors like him.
nice deftones avatar
IN attitude, he's very close to Nolan Ryan or Bob Gibson. They were rage monsters and very intense too.
Max deserves all of the praise he’s been given. His story with his brother is the most heartbreaking and inspiring thing I’ve read from any recent ball player. Max struggled and found his form in the majors and became one of the best. I’m a Red Sox fan so I’m usually indifferent to the NL but Max is special and I will always root for him
I used to see him weekly while he was in Detroit and he was one of the most down to earth people I ever met.
Except during games while he's pitching.
Baseball needs characters like Max! Go Max!
Someone who considers Scherzer a "psychopath" obviously has never competed at a high level. Wish I had that kind of intensity.
I love that my Mets signed him. The guy is still the second best pitcher in baseball and now he's on the same rotation with THE best pitcher - Jacob Degrom. This could do for us what Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling in the same rotation did for Arizona. Add another starting pitcher and we NEED some new bullpen pieces, everyone forgets how unreliable our closer was and that is a big no-no in the playoffs. Having a closer you can rely on night in and night out can help get us over the hump. Look at what Mariano Rivera did for the Yankees. And I don't think Max is crazy - he's just a wildman. I knew plenty of them while serving and he strikes me as that type of guy.
The Johnson/Schilling comp is a good representation of the upside of signing Max. Downside, deGrom needs TJ, Max breaks down, sure it would suck, but if you have money to burn, why not do it?
Degroms UCL is going again bud, sorry to say. That's why we grossly overpaid for Max.
@@Floridaman1780_ If you look at it realistically - they are ALL grossly overpaid. They are grown men that get paid millions to play a GAME.
@@marcoslaureano5562 it's all relative, they are paying a 37 year old that plays every 5 days the highest per year salary in the league. I agree they are all over paid, hell, NFL practice squad players are overpaid.
LETS GO
I totally get being mad about not pitching in an old high school game. Because that happened to me basically, the coach didn't pitch me when it was my start in a major playoff game. Coach later said he made a mistake but I'm still pissed well over a decade later. The guy that put he'd game up 6 in under 3 innings and I had to clean up the game. They didn't score another run and I struck their top guy out twice who was a big prospect and went to a really top shelf college program. I also accounted for 4 of our runs. But couldn't make up the deficit. Like I said still pissed about it.
I caught several bullpen sessions for Max when he was still at Mizzou. He was a savage then too. I will always root for Max. Keep killing it!!!!
Nice, Nathan culp was a good high school friend. I should reconnect and press him for some stories 😂
Much respect to Scherzer, seems like the last of a dying breed of true intimidating pitchers. So glad he has a world series win, much deserved
Degrom is better in all respect.
@@Bettingtips-in4re No one cares, DeGrom is an entirely different pitcher.
Max is a fantastic example of what's possible if u tune everyone out
I remember watching him beat my team in the world series in 2019. He's one hell of a pitcher, really hope he gets to the HOF one day.
Same here. Hurt to get the loss but happy to see Mad Max get his ring
I’d be absolutely SHOCKED if he isn’t elected in as soon as he’s eligible. He already has the resume and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. It’s not a matter of “if” it’s “when.”
I'll never forget the first time I saw Scherzer play. 2013 ALCS against the Red Sox, game 6, Scherzer vs Buchholz. I was on acid at the time and Scherzer's intensity was fascinating. With every inning that went by, I was convinced there's no way the Sox would get anything but that one run by him and after Buchholz let up 2 I thought it was over. I was so grateful to the Tigers for pulling him and it was no surprise that they lost the lead right after.
As a Nationals fan I'll always be grateful for the championship he helped bring. I really hope they get their heads out of their ass and stop getting rid of any player with talent lol
True genius requires some true craziness. It's a beautiful thing.
gotta love baseball; it's wild how many of the greatest players have stories like they were cut at ___ point in their early life and sheer will and small adjustments they became legendary
When I say I have no interest in sports I mean it. I don’t even think I’ve seen a full baseball game, ever. This video is like peering into a world I have never known before. This man is insane AND he’s super good.
I wish there was a channel like this for hockey as well. Love these videos.
Love Max. I was roommates with one of his cousins and I don't know what exactly it is but there's some kind of gene on the Scherzer side of the family that is just balls insane. But yet also pretty captivating at the same time. He's a kitten tho in real life outside of competition. 🤫
Max and greinke are my favorite pitchers by far. Max just has that little something extra tho haha.
The thing that got showed he wasn't actually a psychopath is that he broke down crying a few times, even publicly, after his brother's death. A true psychopath would literally be like "meh" and shrug it off and resume going like nothing happened.
He’s kinda the human version of a rodeo bull when they’re working they’re completely nutz but alot of them the rest the time are pretty much a 1700lb golden retriever
this dude, is absolutely crazy and i LOVE it. baseball needs more personalities like this guy.
No we don’t lmfao
No they dont
My wife and I were just talking about the ill-defined line between brilliance and madness. Is Scherzer right in the head? Probably not, but he's wired in a way that has allowed him to become hyper-focused on being the best pitcher possible. Anything that gets in the way of that needs to be removed.
This is why I get the "don't touch me!" moment with Dave Roberts. Scherzer is so tightly wound during a game that he cannot tolerate anything that distracts him. I doubt the guy hears the crowd or sees anything but the batter and the signs being put down. His madness makes his magic.
As always, an excellent video. Thanks!
Used to love watching him pitch for the tigers. Always entertaining to watch. Very relatable to see the drive and commitment he has
Personally I think Bauer's got a better case for psycho, this guy's just a great pitcher who doesn't need affirmation.
anyone who has a love and passion for a sport and plays at competitive level understands this man.. you pour your heart and soul into the sport.. its the sport or nothing.
Literally Ronaldo of Baseball
As a Nationals fan, to this day, there is the swear "F*** Jose Tabata."
When the Zebra’s in the zone. You got to leave him alone.
Absolutely love his competitive intensity
Mad Max might be pitching into his 50's with that intensity, keeping the MLB alive.
