They are so overpaid it is ridiculous. NBA is going that direction also.
1:52 at this point Max had 8 strikeouts. The other day when DeGrom was pitching he did too at the end of the 3rd inning before he got pulled out bc of a shoulder problem. Man I wish he finished that game, he would’ve been up here with Scherzer for a high strikeout game
Scherzer is the closest protege to the big unit Randy Johnson. Longevity, intensity, intimidating presence and a savage fastball won him 3 cy youngs, a World Series ring and the HOF
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.
Even as an Astros fan who had to watch this guy play a part in beating us this year, I’m glad that he finally got a ring. If there’s anyone in baseball who deserved one it was him.
@@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.
Does anyone know if Scherzer is the 3rd or the 4th person to do 20 K in one game. 1. Roger Clements 2. Kerry Wood 1998 3. Randy Johnson??????? -- I think there was a game where Randy did 20, but it may have been 10 innings he pitched.
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
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
@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
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.
This is more impressive than Kerry Wood's 20K game, only for the fact that the strike zone for Kerry Wood was way bigger. The strike zone has shrunk considerably since Woody's.
I love the way max changes speeds on his fastball. When he starts he’s at 93. When he’s at 100+ he’s hitting 97-100mph. Him and verlander both do it but max really brings the juice late.
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.
Love the way he stalks around the mound like he owns it
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
To think we had him, Verlander, and Price in our rotation and we still couldn't win a world series.
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.
100+ pitches in a non-shutout game from a single pitcher. That’s classic pitching. I miss it.
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".

Stupid ass Cora took out Sale after 17ks in 7 innings, all because of his pitch count. Which was only like 107.
there's 27 total outs in baseball and to get 20 of them through strikeouts is insane if you think about it
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
This game changed his season. This is the day in which Max Scherzer won the Cy Young award
For real he had a 4.56 ERA going into it with lefties batting .300+ off him
he has one of the nastiest fastballs i have ever seen
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
And to think a lot of people thought the nats were crazy giving him the deal they did. Hes insanely good its not fair
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.
It's a shame he couldn't get the 21st. Still though, 4th man ever to do that is pretty good.
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
Hall of Fame for sure
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
This is like the 10th time I’ve watched this phenomenal feat.
Watching it again just one more time
Letting him go was the worst mistake Detroit ever made. Its like we don't want to be good
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.

Jd martinez has been on the bad end of a 20k game, a perfect game, and a no hitter
but he hit 4 hr on the good side
Just an absolute stud. My favorite pitcher. Can’t touch his intensity, his toughness or his stuff. Pitching with the broken nose. Love that guy.
This dude has earned every penny on his contract with the Nats. Would love to see him paint in the WS someday!
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
He’s got insane movement on his fastballs.
His combo of fastball and change up are unmatched! That’s why he was me 2019 first pick!
Best pitcher in recent years.
crazy how 6 yrs later and hes still pumping 96-97 on his fastball
They call him Mad Max for a reason. Now he has won a WS with my beloved Rangers. Definitely a first ballot Hall of Famer, for sure. He's a badass.
every single pitch comes from the same location and arm speed --- nasty
I was there for this game. Pretty awesome to experience it in person!
I remember his first year, met him when I was a kid cool guy signed my baseball and everything. Hope I still have it
Слов не хватает, чтобы выразить своё восхищение от такого питчера. Круто!
Max is one of my favorite pitchers, dude is a beast
When Max is dialed in like this, he’s the predator and the batter is his prey.
Congrats on 2,500Ks Max
WELCOME TO LA MAX!!
Could have had 21. I don't know why the defense just didn't let every ball drop and every runner reach base til he got it
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
1:52 at this point Max had 8 strikeouts. The other day when DeGrom was pitching he did too at the end of the 3rd inning before he got pulled out bc of a shoulder problem. Man I wish he finished that game, he would’ve been up here with Scherzer for a high strikeout game
Most pitchers will have those days where nothing is working out for ya. So having a game like this is a supremely special feeling.
Scherzer is the closest protege to the big unit Randy Johnson. Longevity, intensity, intimidating presence and a savage fastball won him 3 cy youngs, a World Series ring and the HOF
Maybe 4 now.
Make that 2 WS rings. I'm glad he's won another WS with my beloved Rangers.
That really is some aggressive mound stalking tho
Like a prowling lion..
Max is an avid hunter
@@roberterlandson8234 and that night, tigers were prey
how does he get so much movement on a 4 seam fastball
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.
In the line with Kerry Wood with the Cubs in 1998. Amazing!
And Clemens.
I always wonder how home plate umpires feel being part of Games like this. It must be a rush.
The amount of 0-2 and 1-2 counts he got into in the beginning of the game is incredible
His enthusiasm is the best.
Welcome to the Los Angeles Dodgers Max! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
To think this has only been done 4 times in MLB history. Crazy!!
Nobody:
Miguel Cabrera: 3 strikeouts
I tried to text Max Scherzer,
But he just kept replying with “K”.
Amazing pitcher, hall of famer
2022 watching this, he said another one,LMFAO 😂🤣
You guys, you won world series! And proudly of them for them to get that title is not easy to do,✌️
What ever happened with the last batter? Or the last out rather?
Even as an Astros fan who had to watch this guy play a part in beating us this year, I’m glad that he finally got a ring. If there’s anyone in baseball who deserved one it was him.
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."

To have been there in person... #Blessed
That's our Mad Max! Go Nats❣️⚾️ #Natitude
Great pitcher plus a st.Louis boy!!
I did this in grade school t ball to the opposing team. Its not that big of deal folks. No idea why the crowd is going wild
joe doe you have the most underrated comment I have ever seen
The game is even harder to come by than perfect games.
I miss these nationals
圧倒的過ぎる
Of the 4 times pitchers struck out 20, twice were against the Tigers
No shit , Sherlock
My favorite player in the show
He's got the stuff
Anyone know what the last out of the game was?
Does anyone know if Scherzer is the 3rd or the 4th person to do 20 K in one game.
1. Roger Clements
2. Kerry Wood 1998
3. Randy Johnson??????? -- I think there was a game where Randy did 20, but it may have been 10 innings he pitched.

Scherzer is such a beast on the mound. Just cold-blooded.
At 2:05 (or -5:17), Tigers 1st base coach Omar Vizquel was gesturing how much movement Scherzer's fastballs had that day.
I've never seen someone just purely feeling it like this. Scherzer's a boss
@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
Scherzer已經拿過3次賽揚獎(2013、2016、2017)
The dude on the far right on the bullpen at 6:50 is like why tf cant I do this
this guy was straight DEALING
And now he has a game 7 World Series win 💍
He didn't get the win, he did helped made sure his team gets the chance to get the win so it's good.
Dude almost had an immaculate inning in the 2nd
Beast
What happened to the commentator at 2:35
What a performance
I see ya maxwell- Ron Allen
Swing and a miss down he goes- Mario Impemba
Sad those 2 are no longer working together
진짜 오늘만 사는 것처럼 던지네요.
Remember when Strasburg was supposed to be the future ace of this team?
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.

Like the Kerry Wood game; "uh, guys, could I get a run? I don't think I'll be able to do this again until...oh... a week from Thursday."
