if you asked me how many pitchers are there with 3000 Ks i would've guessed more than 19. like at least 30.

anyway scherzer is #19
You could also track his game on another thread...80 pitches, two more innings.

Damn. A perfect game, 3,000th K, and an immaculate inning would have been a pretty good start.

I really had no idea the "immaculate inning" -- nine pitches, nine strikes, three strikeouts -- was so rare. scherzer joined sandy koufax and chris sale as the only pitchers in history with three such innings in their career

I'm the only person on here who pays the least bit of attention to this tabulation (I won't call it a stat), but Scherzer moved ahead of Kershaw into 4th place on Baseball Reference's Cy Young Share list:
1. Roger Clemens (7 wins) 7.662. Randy Johnson (5 wins) 6.503. Greg Maddux (4 wins) 4.924. Max Scherzer (3 wins) 4.615. Clayton Kershaw (3 wins) 4.586. Steve Carlton (4 wins) 4.297. Pedro Martinez (3 wins) 4.268. Justin Verlander (2 wins) 4.219. Tom Seaver (3 wins) 3.8510. Jim Palmer (3 wins) 3.57

Two two will be there forever, probably, but Scherzer may pass Maddux for third.

Two two = top two

Thought “two two” was some weird nick name I’d never heard before!

Max Scherzer has "rattled some with his tough negotiating style" over the past few days https://t.co/hyhg976Erv pic.twitter.com/w54vrb88Ny— SNY (@SNYtv) March 1, 2022

Verlander out for almost three weeks, pitches 5 no-hit innings with a walk and 9 strikeouts. Sixteen days between starts for Scherzer, 6 perfect innings with 9 strikeouts. Old guys need their rest to get by.

Terrible news for the Texas #Rangers:Max Scherzer has a low-grade strain of the teres major muscle in his right shoulder that ends his season.— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) September 13, 2023

Dodging the Casas rematch. Between this & Verlander vs the A’s Steve Cohen’s step is lighter today.

Will be joining Kershaw:

If he'd stayed healthy the past few years, I guess he would have hit 250 wins and 4,000 strikeouts. Doesn't really affect anything else, but too bad.
