Listen: Max Scherzer discusses his comeback from injury, Davis Schneider talks his turnaround and Tommy Nance discusses career path
The Blue Jays are getting set for a three-game series against the MLB’s best Milwaukee Brewers, and they’ll go into it just half a game behind the Detroit Tigers for the best record in the American League
Guests: Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer, left fielder Davis Schneider, reliever Tommy Nance
The Blue Jays are getting set for a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers, who have the best record in MLB, and they’ll go into it just half a game behind the Detroit Tigers for the best record in the American League.
Bullpen questions abound, and we discuss those on this episode of Deep Left Field, and also welcome Max Scherzer to the podcast for the first time. The 41-year-old, Cooperstown-bound starting pitcher is showing glimpses of the pitcher who won three Cy Young awards every time out and we discuss his comeback from three months missed with a thumb injury. We also try to get him to compare this Jays team to the three teams he’s played on that have been to the World Series, but he’s not looking past his next start.
ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW
Davis Schneider homered twice Wednesday night and has been red-hot in the month of August, batting .341 with an 1.123 OPS. He joins the show to talk about his turnaround and to sing the praises of his roommate, Ernie Clement, and of Joey Loperfido, who is likely to move back in with them shortly.
And 34-year-old Tommy Nance, who has a 0.90 ERA out of the bullpen in 17 appearances, discusses his long and winding path to the big leagues, his flourishing in his role with the Jays and how excited he is to be part of a September pennant push for the first time in his career.
