It may have just been too soon to bring Max Scherzer back into the postseason fray.
In his start since Sept. 12, Scherzer got shelled in Game 3 of the ALCS against the Houston Astros at Globe Life Field en route to an 8-5 loss, giving the reigning champions some hope as they got their first win of the series.
Scherzer had been out for more than a month with a strained muscle in his right shoulder but was named the starter for Game 3 earlier in the series. Unfortunately for the Rangers, it was a rough outing for the veteran.
The three-time Cy Young award winner got hit early and often, giving up five runs in just four innings of work, including a massive solo homer to José Altuve in the third inning.
Scherzer struggled against the Astros in the regular season as well. In his penultimate start of the regular season, he gave up seven runs—three homers—in just three innings against Houston back on Sept. 6.
And things didn’t really change Wednesday.
MLB fans were ready to rip him for the poor outing.

If this keeps up, the umps should start using the between-innings substance checks to provide Max Scherzer with sticky stuff.

Max Scherzer hasn’t been an effective postseason pitcher for multiple years now. There’s a lot of mileage on that arm on top of consistent injuries. I knew the contract he signed with the Mets in no way shape or form would pay off for whomever pays it. He’s basically done.

Max Scherzer is like a home run derby out there, Lord have mercy

Rangers couldn’t have been flying higher and thought that bringing back postseason Max Scherzer was going to keep things that way. https://t.co/Lza0VYbGOd

Expected this could happen with Scherzer’s rust. Came out throwing strikes, but a few guys were locked in on him and just left a few too far over the plate

Maybe Scherzer first game back wasn’t the move
The Rangers will now look to bounce back against the defending champions in Game 4 on Thursday.
