The discovery of #Maxface was one of the more important developments of 2013, and it seems that this phenomenon has returned in 2014.

What was Max Scherzer so fired up about? Oh, only this strikeout/caught stealing double play to end the eighth inning.

Scherzer threw eight shutout innings, lowering his ERA to 1.72 this season.
