The Dodgers are turning to their two-way superstar on the mound.
The Jays counter with "Mad" Max Scherzer, who is now 41 years old. He was the starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals in Game 7 of the 2019 World Series, which the Nationals won.
It's going to be must-see television!

(12,756 posts)He's taking a moment to gather his thoughts. Or maybe meditate or pray. Nothing wrong with that.

(27,311 posts)I wasn't being critical of Max in any way.
He's the picture of intensity. The warrior spirit. The will to win.
He'll have that again tonight. The only question is whether he can make his 41-year-old body perform to the level that his mind wants him to achieve.
It will be fascinating to watch.

(12,756 posts)I did misunderstand you. I think it's going to be a good game. I'm hoping that Mad Max pulls it off one last time.

(27,311 posts)the Dodgers will have Tyler Glasnow ready to go in "bulk relief" tonight.
