As Phillies starter Aaron Harang put it, Scherzer "is the best pitcher in baseball right now."
So as a player who came into the game off the bench, Revere said he observed his teammates' approach and thought they were trying to do a little too much at the beginning of the game.
"A bunch of young guys today, I think they just went after him, trying to get him early as much as possible," Revere said. "That was the main thing. I guess everybody was thinking about him trying to throw another no-hitter."
In trying to prevent a no-no, the Phillies almost walked into one.
