The Toronto Blue Jays took on the Philadelphia Phillies yesterday in a great 5-4 win in which Max Scherzer made his second appearance for Toronto.
Scherzer in one of the Blue Jays biggest signings of the off-season and despite some worries regarding his health due to multiple injuries over the past two seasons, he has looked great so far in Spring Training.
Phillies Trea Turner messes with Blue Jays pitcher Max Scherzer
During yesterday's game, Trea Turner was hitting leadoff for the Phillies and won a World Series with the Washington Nationals alongside Scherzer a few years back which is why he decided to have a little fun with his former teammate.
In the first pitch of the at bat which was a clear strike, Turner decided to mess with his former teammate and challenge the call which was confirmed to be a strike.
The first pitch of Max Scherzer's Grapefruit League outing Sunday was a strike on the outside part of the plate. Nothing complicated or controversial about it. 0-1. -Nicholson-Smith
But Trea Turner, the Phillies shortstop who once won a World Series with Scherzer in Washington, didn't appear to see it that way. Whether he'd heard Scherzer's recent critique of the spring challenge system isn't clear, but either way, Turner challenged the pitch, which was soon confirmed as a strike. -Nicholson-Smith
After the game, Scherzer was asked if Turner was just messing with him which he confirmed was nothing but that as there was no chance Turner actually thought that was a ball.
So was he messing with Scherzer?
«Of course,» the 40-year-old right-hander said with a laugh. «Not a doubt in my mind.»
«They're just messing with me.» -Scherzer
