Let’s watch Max Scherzer strike out Tim Tebow again and again

In case you were unaware, Tim Tebow is a baseball player now. Tim Tebow, winner of a Heisman trophy, conquerer of playoff games and starter of weird online trends plays a sport that isn't football.

I use the word “plays” loosely, in the sense that Tebow puts on a jersey, a ball cap and some cleats and hits the baseball diamond every day for a full-time salary. His actual play on the field is ... regrettable. As a 29-year-old “prospect,” Tebow is hitting .167 during his spring training with the Mets — for some reason he hasn’t been assigned to minor league camp yet — with a strikeout rate of 33%.
