Max Scherzer now at 2,808 career strikeouts, passing Cy Young
22nd on the all time list
The only "non-retired" pitcher ahead of him is Verlander
He'll likely be top 15 by the end of 2022, could crack the top 10 if he hangs around
Fans are overreacting yes. And yet at the same time the Yankees don't scare me that much. I mean they're going to improve, and they'll likely make the playoffs. But I thought they'd be a step better than the Jays and now I don't think they are.
Outside of Cole their SP rotation isn't good. Taillon looks like s***. Kluber looks just OK.
They have a bunch of streaky power hitters that can win games but also disappear.
They have defense that is good in some positions and very spotty in others (spotty in the most critical positions too like C and SS)
They have a bullpen that *should* be really good but looks shakier than it was before
I dunno. Maybe they click and win 95 games. But I can also see Toronto or Tampa winning the division.
