Max Scherzer says it was way different playing for Rangers GM Chris Young because he was a former player — and Scherzer loved it. "Use your eyes, use your feel ... we lead with that. Not the computers." Full interview:

@Ken_Rosenthal the 7 ER in 9.2 playoff innings was based on eyes and feel

@Ken_Rosenthal Funny bec I’m pretty sure the eye test would indicate that he doesn’t take the mound again

“To hell with your computers- I got a feeling about this kid” -Chris Young when he decided to trust his gut & trade for the 3x cy young winner & future hall of famer Inspiring bravery & eyeball/feel usage by Young. The computers will never recover from this

@Ken_Rosenthal But max you didn’t play

@Ken_Rosenthal Scherzer sounds like he’s auditioning for a national broadcast booth

The same Chris young, from Princeton, who speaks at sports analytics conferences. And revamped the rangers into an analytically driven team?

@Ken_Rosenthal That’s old school…can’t win that way…oh, wait.

Gotta love Max (clearly) critiquing his old team when he did all of nothing to help us win key games when he was here, and all of nothing to help the Rangers win a WS lmaooo

@Ken_Rosenthal As a Mets fan I have a good amount of distaste for Scherzer and how he has handled certain situations, but I couldn’t agree with him more. The game is played on the field, not on a computer.

@Ken_Rosenthal *man who pitches bad at two locations says why the 2nd was better*

Max needs to STFU already

Mets fans about to let this ruin their week

@Ken_Rosenthal Anybody with eyes, feel or computer data would know Max should never be on the mound in the playoffs. He’s not a gamer, he’s a loser.

@Ken_Rosenthal Pretty sure Mark Prior was a former player……

@PAlbertoSanchez

Good ol baseball, THANKU

@Ken_Rosenthal What faked reaction you committed a robbery against the Mets ; after winning, it makes it easy to sound correct but the bottom line is you never earned your stripes here. So consider a gift. By the way you wasn’t the reason why the Rangers are champions.

@Ken_Rosenthal Bochy.

@Ken_Rosenthal Yea, the eye test also said that Max SUCKS.

Nerds are triggered in here.

That begs the question, why did he $ign with the Met$

degrom gets a ring

But max, your old ass played a whooping 1 game for the rangers

@Ken_Rosenthal major major old man yells at cloud energy

Youre lucky they didnt follow the numbers and so are the Mets, because you suck and we got Acuna JR. 😂

I wonder if he knows that Young would probably undo that trade in a second if he could 😂

What a clown 🤡

Don’t miss him in orange and blue at all. Thanks for not much.

shut up boomer

@Ken_Rosenthal Oh my, another shot at the analytics crowd!
