New York Mets fans concerned by ace Max Scherzer giving up five runs against minor league team: "What the f*** is going on"

New York Mets ace pitcher Max Scherzer had a tough outing today against a minor league team, giving up five runs. Five runs would be a lot against an MLB team considering how good Scherzer is. Giving up that many against a minor league team has Mets fans concerned about their pitcher's season.The New York Mets' greatest strength is supposed to be their dominant starting pitcher rotation. If they are not one of the best in the league, they will have missed expectations significantly. A poor outing in March may not be a harbinger of things to come, but it is certainly not a good sign.Mets insider and analyst Anthony DiComo reported on Max Scherzer's tough outing via Twitter.Anthony DiComo@AnthonyDiComo📸 Max Scherzer allowed five runs (three earned) over parts of five innings in a minors game this afternoon.

They also added Kodai Senga, who played professionally overseas and is making the transition to MLB. Scherzer is supposed to be the anchor of the newly built trio, so his struggles are concerning.H__I__D__@xSOLOxBLUExWashed twitter.com/anthonydicomo/…Anthony DiComo@AnthonyDiComo📸 Max Scherzer allowed five runs (three earned) over parts of five innings in a minors game this afternoon.
