He’s the best pitcher the Tiger’s have had since Scherzer left for the Nationals. :^)
The best pitcher the Tigers ever had was, IMHO, Mickey Lolich — in the 1968 series he pitched three complete games, won them all (against Bob Gibson I think) and hit his only career home run.
Scherzer has turned into quite the choke artist in big games...his last game, elimination game, he literally melted down. Did the same when he pitched for the Tigers..
As a lifelong Cardinals fan, I remember that series - even as a kid, that was a tough loss.
