BT says Max Scherzer is "back" after putting together a fourth straight quality outing, but Tiki isn't ready to make that declaration just yet.
"You've got to feel good about the Mets," Tiki said. "But with all that said, I still can't quite trust Max Scherzer and it's not because I'm hating on Max. It's because the reality of a long season, and I don't trust him to stay healthy. I don't trust him to be that player that he was previously with Nationals, even with the Dodgers in the postseason.
"I gotta see that Max Scherzer before I say 'I love Max Scherzer.'"
Tiki wants to see the dominant Scherzer that helped the Mets to 101 wins last season, before he faltered down the stretch and into the postseason. If Scherzer shows that version of himself for an extended stretch this summer, then Tiki will buy back into the future Hall of Famer's stock.
"Let's not forget the circumstances that Max Scherzer is here under," Tiki said. "Max Scherzer was brought to the Mets to be a mercenary ass kicker."
