Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Max Scherzer had a great game against the Detroit Tigers today and after the game spoke of how him and catcher Alejandro Kirk are no in sync just yet.
The Blue Jays media has been praising Scherzer at Spring Training as he has been dominant on all fronts but he mentioned in an interview that he is not fully impressed since it's only Spring Training.

After the game, Scherzer spoke to the media about how he has been getting used to playing with Kirk to which he gave an interesting answer.
Scherzer stated that the two are still getting to know each others game and that it is hard to fully understand each other before at least playing together for a few months.
He has now worked with Kirk three times, and the familiarity's building gradually, but it's not fully there yet. That's not a concern, it's simply the reality so early in spring. -Nicholson-Smith
«Yeah, it'll get « Scherzer paused for a moment and chuckled. «Not until June. You don't know where anything is at. This is spring. You're not locked in per se. You're at game speed, but you don't have the full preparation, so you're not 100 per cent locked in here. It's good that he can see the sequences and see what I'm trying to do, but the fun starts once the season starts.» -Scherzer
While some might think this is Scherzer being harsh, he makes a valid point since the two have not even been playing together for a month so it will take some time to figure each other out.
Even if they are still unfamiliar with each other, the duo is looking great so far after another great outing this afternoon.
