“It’s raw skin, so it’s a lot of pain,” Scherzer said. “I’ll be good by next start, but you are going to have one start where it’s miserable.” Corey Sipkin for the NY Post “Throughout my career I’ve had different injuries and ailments going on and still pitched,” Scherzer said. “That’s when you learn about what you’ve got, what you can do. That’s when you find out what you’re made of — when you go out and compete and win. That almost strengthens you. You get a bounce in your step when you overcome something.”
