“We need to see MAD MAX!” “Someone send Max out to threaten the weather” - New York Mets fans react to game delay as they await Max Scherzer’s return

The New York Mets have been one of the best teams in Major League Baseball this season. They currently have a 50-30 record, and are one of just three teams to have 50 wins at this point of the season. The Mets are also first in the National League East, and have been for the entire season.The Mets are not perfect, though, and have been plagued with injuries this season. Their two top pitchers, Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer, have been out much of the season. This has caused New York to start slipping in their division standings. The Atlanta Braves, who were once almost an afterthought, are now just 3.5 games back.However, Max Scherzer has finally returned to the team and is expected to start tonight, July 5, against the Cincinnati Reds. Before his injury, Scherzer was 5-1 with a 2.54 ERA through eight starts. He also had 59 strikeouts in just 49.2 innings pitched this season. He was in the conversation for this year's National League CY Young Award, but since his injury, he will not have enough starts to qualify.Scherzer's return will provide a huge boost on the mound for the New York Mets. His return has long been anticipated, and now it is finally here. Except for one thing: The Mets game tonight was delayed due to rain.Anthony DiComo@AnthonyDiComoTonight's Mets-Reds game has been delayed due to thunderstorms in the area. No start time yet.
