“I read about it,” Ausmus said, shaking his head. “Talk about making a mountain of a molehill.”
Scherzer cursed and stomped and adamantly let Williams know he wanted to stay in the game. Ausmus has been there and done that with Scherzer. And he’s never looked at that part of Scherzer’s makeup as a negative.
“It’s just Max,” Ausmus said. “Max has done that with me. He’s emotional on the mound. When he wants to stay in, he is very emphatic about it. He wasn’t yelling at Matt Williams about anything.”
Ausmus said it would be different if Williams was asking for the ball and Scherzer was refusing to give it to him.
