This wasn\u2019t any Joe Shmoe, but rather Mikio Mori, Ambassador and Consul General of Japan. <\/p>\n<p>Mori appeared to get a late start to the bump, or the Mets mistimed his scheduled throw, which resulted in Mori hesitantly waiting for Scherzer to step aside during his warmup pitches. But Scherzer wasn\u2019t going anywhere. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>Mori never did get to throw his pitch, not even with it being Japanese Heritage Night on the 150th anniversary of the United States\u2019 introduction of baseball to Japan.<\/p>\n<p>Scherzer had other plans and more pitches to throw, as he would get through 7.0 innings of work, allowing just one run on three hits with six punchouts. The Mets, however, fell to the Mariners, 2-1. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Follow Nick Geddes on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickGeddesNews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NickGeddesNews<\/a> and on Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nick.geddes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@nick.geddes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">New PointsBet Sportsbook users can make their first bets risk-free up to $2,000.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/join.pointsbet.com\/2riskfree?utm_source=Unbounce_Outkick&#038;utm_medium=Digital_Affiliate_CPA&#038;utm_campaign=Risk_Free_2_1500_500&#038;utm_term=Unbounce&#038;utm_content=Outkick&#038;promo=OUTKICK\">\u00a0If the bet loses, PointsBet will refund you in site credit.
