In a tense moment during the third inning of the Red Sox-Mets game, pitcher Walker Buehler was ejected after arguing a ball call with umpire Mike Estabrook. This incident followed Buehler's recent return from injury. Though disappointed in his early ejection, Buehler took accountability on social media, celebrating his team's victory and expressing confidence in the bullpen's ability to maintain the shutout. Buehler also responded humorously to criticisms regarding his outburst, acknowledging the heated exchange with the umpire while maintaining a light-hearted stance on social media.
"Bullpen full of savages! Brutal way to come back and horrendous spot to put those boys in but huge team win. I'll be better! W!"
"Who cut the distance?" he replied to Diaz's quote, which claimed the Red Sox pitcher "[left] his position to argue balls and strikes."
"I wouldn't want me out there either... Sad thing is the BULLPEN is full of f****** animals. Tough choice."
