Boston – The right -hander of the Red Sox Walker Buehler, activated earlier this day from the 15 -day injured list, was expelled from his departure on Tuesday against the New York dishes during the third round for the balls and the strikes.
After two balls to open an at-bat of Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor stole second place. After Lindor’s slide, Buehler approached the referee of the Mike Estabrook plate while shouting and pointing. Buehler was quickly ejected and a few moments later, Boston manager Alex Cora was also launched.
It was the second consecutive match that the Red Sox played without Cora. On Monday, he missed the opening of the series to attend the graduation of his daughter at the Boston College. Cora was replaced both nights by the coach of the Ramon Vazquez bench.
Cora shouted on Estabrook’s face for a while, and the first base referee Laz Diaz finally intervened to separate the two. Cora contacted Diaz while continuing to go wild on Estabrook. The manager finally went to the clubhouse to the cheers of Boston fans.
“It was weird; they went back and forth,” said Cora about the debate between Buehler and Estabrook. “I don’t know what was the exchange, but I’ve been there for a few years, and I’m not just a beggar:” Give me just a break. I’m going to go out and you can throw me away, and we can keep the launcher in the game. “But I guess he had enough.
Brennan Bernardino replaced Buehler and inherited the count on Soto. Bernardino made Soto on four throws in a goalless match. But the enclosure of the lifts resisted the rest of the path, and Vazquez directed the Red Sox towards a 2-0 victory.
“Everyone saw what happened. It’s baseball; we just had to respect the plan,” said Carlos Narvaez, receiver of the Red Sox, on the post-match show on Nesn.
Buehler had not launched for the Red Sox since April 26 due to the right shoulder problems. After that, he was scratched from his next departure, and the tests that followed revealed that he had a shoulder bursitis. The 30 -year -old veteran launched a three -round match on Thursday and said he had behaved well and was ready to come back.
“I’m not going to talk about what he did or did not do. I don’t think it’s my place,” said Buehler about Estabrook. “For me, it has a little spiral, and I said certain things that he thought that I should not have said and so on. In the end, put our team in a position as it is the only thing I really regret this situation.”
Although its release was short, Buehler has now started seven games during its first season with the Red Sox. He participated in the match from Tuesday to 4-1 with an MPM of 4.28 and 29 stick withdrawals against nine steps in 33⅔ sleeves.
“The field was in the striking area,” said Narvaez about the call of the ball that sparked Buehler’s response in the third. “He was fighting with the guy behind the marble. He said:” Hey, it was in the middle. “And the guy said:” No. “And it was back and forth.
Diaz, the head of the crew, told a pool journalist after the match that Buehler had been launched because he was left the mound to Estabrook to discuss a call.
“He can say things in the mound. But once he got out of the mound, he leaves his position to argue the balls and the strikes,” said Diaz. “Once someone leaves their position to argue bullets and strikes, it is an immediate ejection.”
In the end, the Red Sox won for the second time in as many nights under the tutelage of Vazquez. And they did it with six lifts combining to finish bleaching.
Before Tuesday’s competition, Boston optionized the right-hander Nick Burdi at Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding movement to make room for Buehler. Burdi, 32, made two appearances and launched 2 -sleeves aimlessly for the Red Sox.
Member of the organization of Los Angeles Dodgers until signing with Boston as a free agent in December, Buehler underwent two Tommy John surgeries during his career. This last procedure, in 2022, led him to sit on the 2023 season and to make his debut in 2024 in May.
Buehler had a full season without problem in 2021, when he recorded a career summit of 33 departures to lead the major leagues this season. He went 16-4 with an MPM of 2.47 in 2021 and was selected for the All-Star game for the second time.
The Dodgers selected Buehler with the 24th choice of MLB 2015 draft.
