Max Scherzer Strikes Out 15, All Swinging

Via Fangraphs  |  May 21, 2012
It’s been a strange season for Detroit Tigers stater Max Scherzer and its only the third week of May. Well, maybe strange is too strong of a word. Perhaps interesting is a better choice. And it certainly has been interesting. Scherzer’s first start of the season, on April 8 against the Boston Red Sox, ended after only 2 2/3 innings. The righty gave up seven runs on eight hits...

Tigers' Scherzer fans career-high 15 batters

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  May 20, 2012
Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer never doubts himself. After struggling through a four-inning start May 15, there was some pressure on Scherzer to rebound. And when right-hander Rick Porcello followed with a four-inning bomb May 16, manager Jim Leyland noted "that's just not good enough" from the two rotation fixtures. "I always believe the...

Scherzer, Tigers strike back

Via Fox Sports Detroit  |  May 20, 2012
DETROIT (AP) -- Max Scherzer struck out 15 -- the most by a Detroit pitcher in 40 years -- and the Tigers rallied for him with three runs in the seventh inning to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 on Sunday. Scherzer (3-3) threw 115 pitches in seven innings and was done for the day when the Tigers came back from a 2-1 deficit while he was still the pitcher of record. Alex Avila hit...

Detroit Tigers: Can Max Scherzer Be Consistent?

Via Detroit Sports 360  |  May 21, 2012
I once heard it said that baseball is the only team sport where each player stands on an island. That statement couldn’t be more true when it comes to pitching. Standing ten inches above the field, and sixty feet and six inches from home plate, it is the pitchers duty to make hitting the hardest [...]

Correia's last stand?

Via WHYGAVS?  |  May 20, 2012
Kevin Correia is taking the mound for the Pirates again this afternoon, even though it seems like everyone everywhere thinks this is a bad idea except for Clint Hurdle (and maybe Neal Huntington, who knows?). The Pirates have better options, most of Correia's starts have generally resembled ticking time bombs, and the Tigers' lineup is absolutely capable of just destroying...

Max Scherzer (credits below) You know it’s been a good day in baseball when a guy with the last name ‘Van Slyke’ has a pinch-hit homer, one of the best hitting prospects in baseball gets called up for his first major league game, and MLB’s most interesting starter takes the mound.The aforementioned Scott Van Slyke slugged his first major league homer as a 25-year-old rookie...

Miscues, strikeouts lead to 4-3 loss vs Tigers

Final: Tigers 4, Pirates 3 WP: Max Scherzer (3-3, 5.73 ERA) LP: Kevin Correia (1-5, 4.50 ERA) SV: Joaquin Benoit (1, 3.06 ERA) Kevin Correia had somehow made it through six innings with the Bucs leading 2-1 thanks to solo home runs by both Rod Barajas and Neil Walker. But then Clint Hurdle sent Correia out for the 7th inning. Prince Fielder led off the inning with a “double”...

Bucs whiff in rubber match

Via Raise the Jolly Roger!  |  May 20, 2012
The Pirates had a great chance to steal a victory today in Detroit, but a mess of a seventh inning quickly put them on the wrong end of the series. The story of the game was Max Scherzer, who completely blew away Pirate hitters all afternoon. Scherzer threatened the all-time Tigers record for a starting pitcher, as he struck out FIFTEEN Bucs in seven innings (the record is sixteen...

Game 40: Tigers 4 Pirates 3

Via WHYGAVS?  |  May 20, 2012
I guess I could say something about Max Scherzer striking out 15 Pirates after a lackluster start to the season (before the game started today, I told my friend from Detroit that Scherzer would go 7 innings, give up one run on three hits, and strikeout 11: his actual line was 7 IP, 2 R, 4 H, 15 K) or Kevin Correia making a surprisingly solid start this afternoon, but there's...

#Pirates RHP Jeff Karstens (shoulder) will throw up to 3 innings (45 pitches max) Monday with Double-A Altoona. — Rob Biertempfel (@BiertempfelTrib) May 19, 2012   Jeff Karstens has been out of action ever since being pulled from an April 17th start with shoulder inflammation. It was just his 3rd start of the season. I would assume the Bucs will try to get him three starts or...

Pirates swing for Comerica’s fence and miss often

Via The Sports Jags  |  May 21, 2012
The way the Pirates have been pitching and the way the offense has been hitting this season, you would normally be happy with two home runs in a game. When those homers are solo shots scattered amongst 15 strike outs in seven innings of work from Max Scherzer, you don’t feel quite as good. The game even ended with a fitting Nate McLouth strikeout to give the Tigers a 4-3 win....
