Bucknor's Botched Call Fuels Umpire Accountability

0:00On April 1st, Umpire CB Booknor added to his notorious rep with a wild call during Tuesday night's brewers raised match-up at American Family Field. In the bottom of the 6th, with Milwaukee up 4-2-2-2 outs, brewers first baseman Jake Bowers ripped a line drive on a two-ball. Zero strike count. Ray's second baseman Ben Williamson doe for a stop but sailed the throw way over first base. The play looked like a clear safe call with a ball in the dirt, but Budnor punched Bowers out, claiming he missed the bag entirely. Brewers challenged right away and replay flipped it, putting Bowers on first. Fans lit up social media, roasting Bucknor as one of Major League Baseball's weakest links behind the plate. His history of Bosch calls has everyone calling for change, from desk jobs to full retirement. That overturned safe, kept the ending alive. Bowers swiped second, then scored on a double from Brandon Lockridge, widening the brewers lead in their win. But North still upping games amid the backlash, but calls like this keep feeling demands for better accountability in the league.
