Walker Buehler completed his 2024 season celebrating at Yankee Stadium last October, after having recorded the final of the Dodgers on the Bronx Bombers in the World Series.
Now, with the Red Sox, Buehler made his first return to the Bronx on Friday evening to obtain his first taste of rivalry and the vibrations could not have been more different.
Buehler granted seven points while recording only six withdrawals in the 9-6 lossLooking at his ball at 5.18 after signing a one -year contract, $ 21.05 million.
“This organization has trusted me a lot in this offseason and I was embarrassing for us,” said Buehler, According to Masslive.com.
The Red Sox (30-35) were one of the largest disappointments in baseball and that has to do with disappointing departure staff.
While Garrett Crochet was an ace, the rest of the staff, including Buehler, was disappointed. Boston ranks 25th with an MPM of 4.53 of its starters.
The Red Sox offered Buehler the strong financial offer of one year in the hope that it would work well this season during his first full season since he undergone Tommy John surgery.
The right -hander posted an era of 5.38 in career in the regular season last year for the Dodgers, but launched 10 -sleeves aimlessly against food and yankees in the NLCS and the World Series, respectively.
Buehler seemed to settle after lowering the era to 4.00 with 2 1/3 sleeves aimed against the food before being ejected on May 20 when he returned from the injured list, but he has since struggled.
The former Vanderbilt starter has a 0-3 file with an MPM of 8.52 in his last three departures, granting 14 points (12 deserved), 21 strokes and five circuits, while only during 12 2/3 cumulative sleeves.
Buehler experienced a summit of seven points of the season on Friday evening, including five in the first round after having come a strike far from the exhaust of the frame without damage.
After a walk in advance and a double, Buehler induced a line line and withdrew Paul Goldschmidt before obtaining chisholm jazz in a 0-2 hole.
His 0-2 was just hanging enough for Chisholm to hit a three-point circuit in the center. Two strikers later, Anthony Volpe went deep for an advance of 5-0.
Chisholm added a simple RBI in the second and Buehler struck Volpe to force in a race in the second before the manager of the Red Sox, Alex Cora puts the exit of his starter after 67 throws.
“It’s difficult,” said Buehler, according to Masslive.com. “It is obviously a great match and a great rivalry of which I was delighted to be part. And for it to have done as it did is super disappointing, especially after the last two, three weeks of preparation and launch and all this (explanive) and how I feel myself. Physically I feel good and for it to happen in this way, it sucks.”
Buehler told journalists that he still thought he was getting closer to his normal self, even believing that he had launched many good locations on Friday evening.
The Red Sox can only hope that it will start to result in results.
“Physically and even the execution of this one, I did not think that it looked like an outing of seven sleeves and two rounds,” said Buehler, according to the point of sale. “But it’s the game and gives another blow in five days.”
