In a lighthearted postgame moment that quickly went viral, the Toronto Blue Jays’ manager admitted he genuinely thought veteran pitcher Max Scherzer, now 41, “was going to kill” him after a heated mound visit. Known for his fiery competitiveness and piercing intensity, Scherzer reportedly bristled when the manager hinted at pulling him mid-inning during a tight matchup. The exchange, though tense at first, ended with laughter as Scherzer went on to finish the inning in dominant fashion, proving he still has plenty left in the tank. The incident underscored Scherzer’s undying passion for the game and the respect he commands even in the twilight of his career — a testament to the drive that’s made him one of baseball’s fiercest competitors for over two decades.
