Boston – Walker Buehler did not risk the beginning early.
Instead of getting up and discovering what paths may have been closed The Boston Marathon Route took his family to a nearby hotel to prepare for his start from Monday morning.
“I stayed at a hotel last night, just not having to worry too much,” he said after Boston’s 4-2 Victoria About the white socks in his annual game of the Patriots Day.
“My wife and children stayed with me and everything was normal for us,” he said. “We are all used to sleeping in hotels, so we are all fine.”
Using a white homemade shirt with red letters, “Boston” spent on the front, an inspired shirt after the city recovered in the first Red Sox game after the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013, Buehler launched its first release at 11:11 am in a cold morning in Fenway Park.
“I did all my things,” he said about the movement of his nearby Newton’s house. “I took an iPad home and read it last night, where I usually do it. I explained all their alignment and all men in the bank.”
Buehler left a race in the first entrance before going to the next six without goals, keeping Chicago four hits while strucking nine and walking three at his output of 100 pitches.
He said he put his alarm for 6:45 am and arrived at the park at 7:15. It was the first game in which he had launched since double-A in 2017, he recalled, when he was in the agricultural system of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“Against Jack Flaherty, the Day of the Squarepants of Bobo Esponja, in which we face,” he said, smiling. “I was thinking about that before.”
