Earlier than becoming a member of the Mets, Max Scherzer was considered one of their chief tormentors, by no means extra so than when he took the mound at Citi Subject late within the season seven years in the past. What occurred is one thing neither the Mets within the lineup that night time, nor Scherzer himself, will quickly neglect.
For what was to happen, the situations and circumstances have been excellent, and Max Scherzer nearly outlined the phrase that night time.
This was Oct. 3, 2015, the ultimate weekend of the common season, the nightcap of a doubleheader at Citi Subject. The Mets had already clinched their first NL East title in 9 years and have been wanting towards the Nationwide League Division Sequence. On the opposite aspect, Scherzer’s ideas have been on the frustration the Nationals’ season had develop into (the group was eradicated from playoff rivalry) and ending with one final sturdy efficiency.
“We had come into that yr considering we have been going to win the division, we had a extremely good group,” Scherzer stated. “I had signed there and all the pieces had gone fallacious and the Mets had crushed us.”
Temperature at first pitch was 54 levels, with a 28 mph wind blowing in from middle area. This wasn’t an evening for hitting.
