The Washington Nationals and their star pitcher, Max Scherzer, were scrutinized after Saturday night’s game after Scherzer was found to be part-cyborg.
After all, there is no way a human can pitch seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts the start after he threw eight innings of one-run ball with 15 punch outs.
In the bottom of the second inning, Scherzer took a comebacker off of his left calf. Immediately, San Diego Padres manager Andy Green noticed something unusual.
“I picked up pieces of metal and wire from the field and showed it to [Crew Chief Gary Cederstrom], and he told me it wasn’t a reviewable play,” Green said.
