Nationals Spotlight: Max Scherzer, The Best Righty Of His Generation?

Sam Fels August 23, 2019 0

Either way, it’s kind of funny that the Tigers had both Verlander and Max Scherzer and contrived to not win a World Series. And it would appear the Nationals are intent on imitating that pretty […]

Yu Darvish Is Incredibly Weird

Sam Fels August 22, 2019 0
