Max Scherzer 1 inning away from perfect game

Just in case any one wants to follow.

He's got the top of the 9th coming up to get it.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

I blame you if he doesn't get it.

Aw shit!! That sucked!

Aw shit!! That sucked!

That sucked big time. Unreal.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

That was one hell of a jinx @Jack_John_Mark

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I apologize to all sports fans.

Makes me sick!

As former pitcher I knew he was going to have a hard time with two strikes to go to his changeup or something off speed but that was the thing to do. He got too pumped and his fastball just tailed in too much. Damn I wanted to see him get it especially considering he was so close only a week ago vs. the Brewers.

What a crappy way to lose a perfect game. Looked like he leaned into it too. Wow

Yu Darvish knows how this feels.

what a gutless play from a nobody.

He had a heck of a run with the Tigers, knew he was capable of something like this. Glad he went to the National League. Thank you for you time with the Tigers, Max.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

what a gutless play from a nobody.

If he is in the lineup, I wouldn't be shocked to see a fastball in the ribs.

LOL...the ball hit him in the elbow...no leaning required. Take your base and no perfect game. Sucks for you Sherzer but it happens

Scherzer still got the no hitter, what an awesome pitcher he is, wish Boston had signed him instead of Sandoval.

Lol! That was my first thought yesterday, too! But shit happens, intentional or not on the part of Tabata, perfectos are definitely a rare feat...anything can go wrong, and usually does!

maybe you should go watch that again and see what everyone else saw. Geez..get some fucking glasses.

even if he had gotten the perfect game, the 16 K game was more impressive IMO.
