Matt Williams talks mound "exchange" with Nationals' starter Max Scherzer
Washington Nationals' right-hander Max Scherzer was adamant. He wanted to get the last out of the seventh last Friday night. He [expletive deleted] wanted it! Of course, Matt Williams had no intention of taking the starter out...
"I want it," Max Scherzer told Matt Williams when the Washington Nationals' skipper came out to the mound with two down in the seventh inning of last Friday's game with the Miami Marlins in the nation's capital.
"I [expletive deleted] want it," Scherzer appeared to say. "I [expletive deleted] want it."
He wasn't being insubordinate, or showing his manager up. He was answering a question.
