But it could very well be that he knew he was not going to be going the full 9 innings as there are rumors he will be joining the Rangers this week. Another probable explanation could be that as a major league pitcher and Cy Young winner, a perfect game will not mean the same doing it in the Minors. Nonetheless, it is still crazy and in reality, who really know what goes on inside the head of Scherzer.
