Arrr, matey! Max Scherzer be havin’ a pesky thumb ailment, makin’ Blue Jays captain John Schneider hoist the sails and send the three-time Cy Young booty back to the ship in the third inning! Aye, even the fiercest buccaneer can’t pitch with a sore thumb, savvy?
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather ye round for a tale of the mighty Max Scherzer, the three-time Cy Young conqueror, who set sail with the Toronto Blue Jays but met a tempest most unexpected! Aye, 'twas nary more than three innings into his debut when the scallywag felt a twinge in his right lat, causin' him to abandon ship after tossin' but 45 pitches.The crew learned that the foul winds of injury had blown upon Scherzer, causin' him much frustration as he paced the dugout, lamentin' that he wouldn’t be throwin’ his cannonballs come the fourth inning. “Blast it!” he surely exclaimed, “This be a problem linked to me thumb, no doubt!”
As the tale unfolds, our poor pirate had been battlin’ a sore thumb since the spring, and it seems his body was compensatin’ like a ship tryin’ to sail with a broken mast. Scherzer, wise as the sea, knew pushin' on could spell doom for his arm. “Imminent danger lurks,” he warned, as he felt the tension in his lat tighten like a ship’s riggin’ in a storm.
Alas, his quest ended with the Blue Jays sufferin' defeat upon the high seas of baseball, losin’ 9-5. But fret not, brave souls! There be another battle at Rogers Centre on the morrow! So, hoist the sails and let the adventure continue!
