Buehler acknowledged that reality with how he chose to attack the Texas Rangers in the 3-2 loss on Tuesday night, throwing the pitch a career-low five times.
"I just think there's a little bit less on [the four-seam fastball] and a little bit, for the lack of a better term, like, f- you behind it," Buehler said.
"For the most part," Buehler said, "I feel pretty good about it." More than 70% of his pitches were either cutters or sinkers, an uncharacteristic mix for the former fireballer.
"I think he's in the process of evolving," manager Dave Roberts said. "But the truth of the matter is he's not the same pitcher after the second Tommy John [surgery]."
