He knew the rules Whatever much he signed for - what did he get again - Looking back at Madison Bumgarner s disagreement with Max Scherzer over the latter s belief that pitchers are not real hitters

By mariorjf Modified 28 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Madison Bumgarner once disagreed with Max Scherzer over the latter's belief that pitchers are not real hitters Madison Bumgarner saw a different side to the story with Washington Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer after injuring his thumb back in 2015. Bumgarner blasted Scherzer after taking issue with the latter's words. Scherzer stated that "pitchers are not real hitters." Speaking to ESPN, he said: "He knew the rules. Whatever much he signed for - what did he get again? He didn't have a problem signing his name. He didn't have a problem with hitting then. I'm sure he had his pick of anywhere he wanted to go." Bumgarner continued: "If you look at it from the macro side, who'd people rather see hit: Big Papi [Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz] or me?... I hate what happened to him. He works his butt off out there. But I don't think it was because he was hitting. What if he gets hurt getting out of his truck? You tell him not to drive anymore?" Bumgarner insisted that the uniformity of the rules should apply to both leagues and that pitchers were also vulnerable to injury. His comments came in the aftermath of Scherzer suffering a thumb injury, which kept him out for a few games.
