Walker Buehler, known for his perfectionism, adapted to the unusual morning start time of the Red Sox's Patriots Day game by arriving early and staying nearby. His pre-game routine was influenced by the day’s significance for Boston. Buehler's preparation paid off as he performed excellently, allowing only one run in seven innings against the White Sox. This game marked an important tradition for the city and showcased Buehler's dedication to his role, despite the unconventional scheduling.
"2017 in Double-A against [Tigers starter] Jack Flaherty,...We had a SpongeBob SquarePants Day that we pitched against each other in. I was thinking about that earlier..."
"He's on-point. It's not like it takes him a long time to get ready. But there's a lot of moving parts throughout his process."
"So I think that’s it... It was an unorthodox routine for Buehler on a day that stands as an outlier against the rest of the Red Sox's 162-game schedule."
