He’s the king of the mound 👍🏽

Ummmmm, he kinda does...

If I had struck out a guy 3 straight times in a game, I'd be stalking around him.... Cuz I OWN YOU!!!!!

Robert Erlandson shut up😭

You say that like he doesn’t own that mound

And another Cy Young winner in Porcello

and doug fister😂

bolstered by the offense of Miguel Cabrera, Tori Hunter, Prince Fielder, Victor Martinez, and Delmon Young, and Austin Jackson it's baffling that they had no victory in the one they had played with San Francisco

@@thedude3065 Baseball playoffs is a crapshoot.

And Anibal Sanchez whose a great playoff pitcher.

yeah there was a time when JV, Max, Clay, Doc and Chris would all go deep into games because their managers knew that they were on fire whether it was a shutout or not. remember Doc? that dude was surgical i swear he toyed with batters just for fun

Amen Max feels like one of the last of a dying breed. I feel like this guy could do 250+ every year but it is not that kind of game anymore.

Tell that to Mark Prior and Kerry Wood (among countless others). Two careers needlessly cut short because of the nonsense behind "classic pitching".

Steven Kunzer Yeah once pitchers like Matt Cain, Cliff Lee, Wainwright, Halliday and such disappeared, it was kind of the end of it. Verlander and Max Scherzer kind of feel like old relics of a long Yeah once pictures like Matt Cain, Cliff Lee, Wainwright, Halliday and such disappeared, it was kind of the end of it. Verlander and Max Scherzer kind of feel like relics of a lost game

Stupid ass Cora took out Sale after 17ks in 7 innings, all because of his pitch count. Which was only like 107.

Roger Clemens did it twice. The odds of that are astronomical.

Emma Barnes that has nothing to do with odds its skill of the pitcher and outfield

Krouls According to your logic, humanity should do away with statistics.

Emma Barnes you make no sense dumbass

A four strikeout inning would help. Also, strikeouts take a lot of pitches, so a pitcher has to be able to throw at least 120 pitches

For real he had a 4.56 ERA going into it with lefties batting .300+ off him

bham245 ham its really all in his windup damn ball is sp deceptive and combined with his heat. Filthy

He has a great fastball but I think it's his slider that better that thing is disgusting

@@totalmage56gerstenschlager13 yeah also that changeup

It’s not the fastest velo wise but it’s just seems to come in so hard and just fast and no ones ready for it

change up and two seam are disgusting

Not crazy but 50 million is quite a large deferment to make after he's done playing.

chewyismycopilot And you didn’t even mention the beautiful little secret of his success: since the ace he “usurped” the spotlight from is as happy to be out of it as he enjoys being in it, the Scherzer signing is the best thing that ever happened to Strasburg.

To be fair, his career found a second wind when he came to Washington. And his best years have undoubtedly been in Washington.

chewyismycopilot it’s probably the best contract of the decade

@@djjohnson9389 He's already been worth far more than his contract.

um, perhaps. ? he doesn't quite have the full body of work to make that claim. but he's arcing in the right direction.

@@bconni2 he is forsure

@@bconni2 3 cy youngs. He'll reach 3000 ks by the time he retires. Easy HOF

@@brandoncarlos7057 That's an understatement since he will blow past it long before he retires as well as a shot for 250 wins.

Lol hes 1 of the greatest

Raine Jervey pretty amazing when you think about it. Over 210,000 games played in MLB history.

Correct. Four pitchers have had 20 KOs in a game and one had 21 KOs in a game (16 inn game).

Pretty good? More like INSANE

Roger Clemens did it twice. That’s pretty amazing.

Emma Barnes too bad he used PEDS but those games were still very impressive

Watching it again just one more time

He wanted more money than we could give him

Purveyor 2389 we should have dumped Verlander earlier someone would have picked him up. No let's wait and pay him for 3 more years just to dump him for a couple of draft picks

Mat Chavez c

I'm a Yankee fan, but the fact that he's a #ScottBoras agent & that alone should tell you something.

Ninja Spider-Man-This! Scott Boras is a fucking Douchebag who ruins players reputations due to the ridiculous contracts he gets them from teams. Then they hardly ever live up to them, and the players end up being loathed. Fucking dude is trash. At least in the NFL we can see a players worth and market. In baseball? They are so overpaid it is ridiculous. NBA is going that direction also.

but he hit 4 hr on the good side

Only if he's traded.

He did pitch in the World Series with the Tigers.

“Mama was wrong again”[Col Sanders]

Spoiler alert: he has a ring now 👌🏼

He did it

Maybe 4 now.

Make that 2 WS rings. I'm glad he's won another WS with my beloved Rangers.

as an Astros guy, i'm sure you're also happy to see Kershaw get his ring, considering you guys cheated him out of one a few years back.

@@bconni2 I don't like the Dodgers anyway but I never really had a problem with Kershaw but with him it was less of a 'Glad you got it' and more of a "Finally, now those stale memes can go away." He's the only guy on that Dodgers squad I'm happy for, the rest of them can piss off particularly Justin Turner for almost infecting his teammates with COVID.

Like a prowling lion..

Max is an avid hunter

@@roberterlandson8234 and that night, tigers were prey

bham245 ham his arm angle, and a lot of them are two seams

bham245 ham his 4 seam is not a regular fastball its a rising fastball and he even uses two seam too.

America's finest tf is a ring fastball

@@collusionz_5744 rising fastballs are essentially fastballs with a high spin rate, which gives a "rising" effect.

a lot of guys are doing that now. late movement on a 95+ fastball isn't that uncommon. but to compliment it with a nasty slider and changeup is a different story.

And Clemens.

Great pitcher plus a st.Louis boy!!

joe doe you have the most underrated comment I have ever seen

@Jon Levi its the nights pitchers dream of. Where they're on fire from the beginning and are basically on strikeout cruise control and their momentum melts batters for innings

I'm a Nats fan....But Kerry Wood had the best 20k game. A 1 hitter

Hes the 3rd pitcher to do it but its been done 4 times. Clemens did it twice. Woods 20 ks were the most impressive by far. Against a good Astros team. They were having trouble just making contact and the 2 feeble hits barely made it out of the infield

@@alexanderbutler2989 wood only gave up one hit in that game

Johnson struck out 20 in 9 innings but the game went to extras tied at 1. So it's on a different list. (His D'Backs won in 11.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_single-game_strikeout_leaders

No shit , Sherlock

TheDCGuitar13 who do you think is better

Lucas S aww don’t make me do that. Let’s see. I’m gonna have to go with max because his fastballs and break pitches have more movement. I feel like max can play through and hide pain like no pitcher I’ve ever seen. It’s almost like pain angers him and makes him even better. He had a 10 k long outing with a broken nose and black eye!This man had a 16k shutout and follows it with a no hitter that should’ve been a perfect game if not for bad umpiring. Then he beats Houston’s signStealing in game one and game seven of the World Series I couldn’t never hate Justin though. I actually wished he was a nat with max so he wouldn’t have had to suffer another playoff disappointment.

TheDCGuitar13 I mean we don’t know if they stole signs in 2019 but I’m mad they did too I have completely lost respect for all there hitter but verlander and Cole are still good

Lucas S oh we definitely know. Check out the home games In the word series where you heard a whistle before homeruns or doubles in every home game. Problem is max and Stephen were too damn good. Stephen even said he tipped pitches to gauge them and switched up on them after the second inning in his legendary game 6. It really upsets me because I had immense respect for the Astros and admired them from afar. They were more than good enough to win. Look at what they did in dc without the cameras. That stench may never leave em at this point.

TheDCGuitar13 yeah I know it’s terrible

Matt Matt l

Who is your team?

Felix Mendelssohn tigers duh

He didn't shutout

Same

Same

1 year later here we are!

It was Kerry's rookie year tho

AlexOvechkin8MVP Strasburg was the reason we got a game 5. Max was the reason we blew it...

TheDCGuitar13 2 words: limited rest

TheDCGuitar13 Max didn’t blow it, he was playing off 3 days rest. That won’t happen again now that we have Corbin. With 3 aces we can give real rest in the playoffs to Max.

Colt The GOAT we’ve always had 3-5 aces. What we’ve never had since clippard blew it vs St. Louis is relief pitching. Always been the kryptonite that is never addressed

TheDCGuitar13 same thing with the tigers. We would have probably made to the World Series in 2013 and atleast won 2 games in 2012 if we actually had a decent bullpen.

He didn't get the win, he did helped made sure his team gets the chance to get the win so it's good.

김Msmsmsms 쓰리쿼터

Lol why?

Because he would’ve needed like 140 pitches

And they would of lost. Lol

@@aerpx Not the dumbest thing he had posted.

I looked at you channel for a few seconds and after that, I’m not surprised to hear something As asinine as your comment
