CB Bucknor and six other umpires will retire after 2026
CB Bucknor has had a justified reputation as one of the worst umpires over the last couple of decades. This became even clearer this year with the beginning of ABS challenges.
Bucknor had six calls overturned in his first game behind the plate this year, March 28 in Cincinnati:
ABS Challenge:Narváez (Ball-Confirmed); Anthony 2 (Strike-Overturned to Ball, Strike-Confirmed); De La Cruz, E (Strike-Overturned to Ball); Suárez, E 2 (Strike-Overturned to Ball, Strike-Overturned to Ball); Benson 2 (Strike-Overturned to Ball, Strike-Overturned to Ball).
