I think it was obvious to everybody that the league had adjusted to Little.
I think he can still be useful if he throws enough in the zone. But hitters are not going to do him the favours they were doing before.
I was always taught to think about the possibilities before the pitch happens so that I'm not caught off guard. I guess major league players aren't taught that.
If all six are at their best it's not close because Scherzer's best is relative. He'll never be the pitcher he was several years ago, he can only be the best version of his 41 year old self, which is a couple of notches below.
Remember the 2021 team. One of the best teams we ever had.
Remember what the failing of that team was?
That's right folks, the same front office left us with a f***ass bullpen.
