Show Notes
CB Bucknors week of umpiring in Major League Baseball took a turn for the worse, with six calls overturned by the automated ball-strike challenge system during the Boston Red Sox game. The Red Sox lost their challenges early, leading to controversial strikes. In the eighth inning, Bucknors questionable check-swing call on Trevor Story sparked an argument, resulting in the managers ejection. The situation escalated on Tuesday when Bucknor, now at first base, incorrectly called Jake Bauers out, leading to laughter from both managers after the call was overturned. These incidents have sparked debate about umpiring and the role of technology in baseball.
