MLB fans mock New York Mets starter Max Scherzer despite strong outing vs Astros

Max Scherzer capped off a brilliant performance against the Houston Astros in an 11-1 win for the New York Mets. Starting for his team, the veteran pitcher got through eight innings, giving away just four hits and one earned run with eight strikeouts.Max Scherzer has been part of the New York Mets starting rotation since last season. Previously, he had two successful spells at the Detroit Tigers and the Washington Nationals that saw him win a combined 3 Cy Young Awards and 8 All-Star apperances. He also won the World Series with the latter in 2019.In the game against the defending champions, Astros, Scherzer was almost impossible to hit. He recorded just 91 pitches in eight innings and had four 1-2-3 innings. Only Yanier Diaz hit a solo home run off the experienced pitcher on a 0-1 pitch on an 83 mph slider.Regardless of his efforts in the game, the 38-year-old has been a bit out of touch all season. Even after the strong outing, his ERA is at 4.04. That in some way also translates to the New York Mets' position as they are languishing fourth in the NL East with a 34-38 record.Fans took to Twitter to troll Scherzer despite the impressive stat line.Ten@tenR6RL@TalkinBaseball_ @shea_station Once a year type beat@TalkinBaseball_ @shea_station Once a year type beatFreddy300@FreddyAllDay22@SNY_Mets Check his glove@SNY_Mets Check his gloveMax Fried Enthusiast@atlhoe12345@TalkinBaseball_ 4.049@TalkinBaseball_ 4.04Ethan@EpicGamer126642@TalkinBaseball_ Glad the yanks didn’t face this Scherzer1@TalkinBaseball_ Glad the yanks didn’t face this ScherzerJosh@lLOVEDAME@TalkinBaseball_ took a while@TalkinBaseball_ took a while単調🍐@GodsDogsGod@TalkinBaseball_ Mickey Mouse team.

Well, that adjustment to the slider screwed everything up for the Yankees start. So I just went back and undid that change and that’s it.”The veteran RHP would want to continue the form and improve his 4.04 ERA.
