"I Thought Max Scherzer Was Going to Kill Me" - John Schneider Breaks Silence After Fiery Moment with Veteran Pitcher Goes Viral

At 41, Max Scherzer defied recent injuries by striking out Randy Arozarena to end an inning and help the Blue Jays tie the ALCS series 2-2 with an 8-2 win.

  • On Oct. 17 in Game 4 at T-Mobile Park, Max Scherzer angrily refused a mound visit from John Schneider with two outs in the fifth inning, then struck out Randy Arozarena to end the inning.
  • This year, Scherzer was limited to 17 starts due to assorted aches including thumb inflammation and hadn’t pitched since Sept. 24 while recovering from the injury.
  • Despite an early two-walk start, Scherzer finished his outing with five strikeouts in 5.2 innings after yielding a Josh Naylor second-inning home run.
  • The result left the ALCS tied 2-2 after Toronto Blue Jays’ 8-2 final score, keeping their World Series hopes alive for the first Toronto appearance since 1993.
  • As the series progresses, Blue Jays starters going deeper stress Seattle Mariners bullpen, forcing a must-win on Friday to avoid two games in Toronto.
