Not seeing Max Scherzer participate in the World Classic came as a surprise to many people. After all, the star launcher thrives on big moments.
I am convinced that looking at the result, it gave him the taste despite everything.
However, knowing that he is getting older and his priority is to win in New York, he made the right decision. For what? Because the pitchers who go there are not prepared to pitch six or seven innings.
As long as he did it halfway, he did like many pitchers, or skipped his turn.
Finally, he did well since since the start of the Mets season, he is not 100% and he cannot take his wanders.
According to him, the solution is simple: simply postpone the Classic to the last week of camp. So everyone will be ready to move on.
He even goes on to suggest a smaller MLB schedule (154 games?) that season, to allow the Classic to end properly.
I don’t know if it’s the best idea, but in fact, if we want to see pitchers, it’s going to take a solution to help them a little. Otherwise, they will continue not to go.
