The moment, captured on camera during the top of the fifth inning, quickly spread online.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Max Scherzer was mocking home plate umpire CB Bucknor, suggesting that he was flipping a coin to make his calls<br><br>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sportsnet?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@Sportsnet<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tkp1D2neDj\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/tkp1D2neDj<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JomboyMedia\/status\/1918481241277366734?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 3, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The message was unmistakable: Scherzer, watching Chris Bassitt work a tight 2-2 game, seemed to suggest that Bucknor was essentially flipping a coin to determine balls and strikes. The two-time World Series champion didn&rsquo;t say a word, but the sarcastic motion said it all. For Scherzer, this wasn&rsquo;t just a random jab, it was also personal history on display. In the same game, Cleveland Guardians star Jose Ramirez exited early <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/jose-ramirez-injury-update-why-did-guardians-star-exit-the-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>due to an injury<\/a>.<\/p><p>Scherzer&rsquo;s disdain for inconsistent umpiring is well-documented. Across his 17-year career, the 40-year-old, eight-time All-Star has never shied away from confrontation, whether over pitch clocks, sticky substance checks, or questionable strike zones. And Bucknor? He&rsquo;s long been one of the most polarizing figures behind the plate, often ranked among the worst umpires in league-wide player polls.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/how-will-yankees-replace-jazz-chisholm-jr-at-second-base\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>How Will Yankees Replace Jazz Chisholm Jr. at Second Base?<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Put them in the same ballpark, even if Scherzer&rsquo;s not on the mound, and tension is inevitable. Their most infamous clash came back in 2015, when Bucknor made a crucial fair\/foul call, without actually seeing the play, that cost Scherzer a walk-off loss. Max Scherzer clearly hasn&rsquo;t forgotten that moment.<\/p><p>This isn&rsquo;t Scherzer&rsquo;s first umpire-directed outburst in street clothes, either. Just last month, he was caught on camera yelling from the dugout after a video review didn&rsquo;t go the Jays&rsquo; way. He may be sidelined, but he&rsquo;s still all-in.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Will Max Scherzer Return to the Mound?<\/h2><p>For now, though, the right-hander seems close to returning. Scherzer, who signed a one-year, $15.5 million deal with Toronto in February, has made just one start this season, back on March 29, before landing on the IL. He recently threw what was described as a &ldquo;heavy bullpen session,&rdquo; an encouraging step in his recovery.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not the first time, probably not the last&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":47155,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2088,3131],"class_list":["post-47212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-blue-jays","tag-max-scherzer"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
