Max Scherzer led the Toronto Blue Jays to an emphatic 8-2 win on Sunday as they levelled the American League Championship Series against the Seattle Mariners after four games. In 5.2 innings pitched, the 41-year-old earned two runs, on three hits and four walks, and struck out five. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Scherzer gave up a leadoff single to Dominic Canzone. He got the next two outs, but before he faced Randy Arozarena, his manager, John Schneider, came out for a mound visit. The three-time Cy Young winner refused to be taken off and struck out Arozarena to end the innings.As he walked back to the dugout, a pumped up Scherzer shouted at Schneider, who was on the top step, and went behind to take his seat. Fans on X felt that the Blue Jays pitcher went out of line and disrespected his skipper. Here are a few reactions:"That is such a bad move such a disrespect just awful from Max," a fan said.planetHood @HamtherealLINK@JomboyMedia That is such a bad move such a disrespect just awful from max"Punking his manager on national TV," another fan observed.Paul Rydberg @pmrydbergLINK@JomboyMedia Punking his manager on national tv"I’m tired of this act honestly," another fan said.Get It Together @TimeTo_Grow_UpLINK@JomboyMedia I’m tired of this act honestly"The guy is a giant a**hole but people tolerate it because he can do just what he did," a fan wrote.MJ.

The veteran had recorded a 9.00 ERA in his final six regular-season starts. On Thursday, he didn't have a good beginning, walking two batters in the first inning and earning a solo home run by Josh Naylor in the next frame.But the eight-time All-Star breezed through the next few innings before clocking out at 87 pitches and leaving a runner on base in the fifth on a two-out walk.
