CHICAGO -- Manager Matt Williams was a bench coach with the D-backs a few years ago and got to watch a young Max Scherzer work on a regular basis.
The way Williams sees it, Scherzer had the same stuff then but wasn't close to being the pitcher who dominated the Cubs in a 3-0 win on Wednesday.
"He's got a real good plan for everybody that he faces," Williams said. "He's diligent about it, he takes time to work on it and he's got extra gears that a lot of people don't have.
