Max Scherzer hasn’t changed a bit since being dealt out of Queens.
The fiery right-hander had some words for home plate umpire Dan Iassogna as he walked off the mound in the seventh inning during his start against the Oakland A’s Tuesday night. , Iassogna issued a pitch-clock violation during Scherzer’s between-innings warmups.
Scherzer claimed Iassogna told him he had time for his eighth and final warmup pitch, but he was called for a violation anyway. “That’s what’s frustrating about this. The umpire tells you that you have one pitch left, and then all of a sudden, now you’re at fault,” Scherzer said, per Grant. “So, what was I supposed to do? This goes back to a health and safety thing. Pitchers should be allowed their eight warm-up pitches, regardless of the situation, especially when something like [the double play happens]. But this is just the reality of it. And that is what is frustrating.”
The double play Scherzer is referencing came in the top of the seventh, when first baseman Nathaniel Lowe lined out to quickly bring the Rangers’ at-bat to an end and the three-time Cy Young Award winner was slow to get to the mound for the bottom of the inning.
