On Tuesday night, Buehler was ejected from the Boston Red Sox matchup with the New York Mets after arguing with home plate umpire Mike Estabrook. After the game, Buehler quote-tweeted a clip of Lindor cheerleading for his ejection and said, "I wouldn't want me out there either. Sad thing is the BULLPEN is full of f--king animals. Tough choice."

Buehler had a heated argument with umpire Mike Estabrook. Buehler recorded a strike, but Estabrook called it a ball. The pitcher started to argue with the umpire, and he was tossed from the game along with manager Alex Cora. During this incident, Mets slugger Francisco Lindor was rooting for the umpire to eject Buehler.
