Max Scherzer and his crazy reaction

In the final game of the Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants, Max was the ace card for the Dodgers. Astonishingly, it was his pitch that clinched the victory for the Dodgers.

Los Angeles Dodgers had kept Max in the bullpen, hoping to fire him in at the right moment. Before he entered the field, fans saw Scherzer was walking around the bullpen like he was waiting to hunt down his prey.

In the ninth and crucial inning, Dodgers sent Max out, and he executed the winning plan for the team.

Max pitched the ball towards Giants’ Wilmer Flores in the ninth inning. Courtesy of the umpires’ controversial decision, Flores was called out for a strike, and the Dodgers won the series. Max couldn’t keep his calm, as his emotions got the better of him.
