C.B. Bucknor should retire

[Lefty]

How does this guy continue to have a job?

Angel Hernandez says hold my beer.


I think this has been one of the worst season in MLB history for umpires. It's almost like they're deliberately making bad calls, because they know bringing in technology makes their job easier and less stressful, but they still get paid.

C B stands for Could Be a strike, Could Be a ball, Could Be safe, or Could Be out and on and on

I think all home plate umps should retire. Time to use the strike zone for calling balls and strikes.

100%.

Now with all the improvements to the speed of the game, the umpiring is easily the worst remaining issue with the game. 1st and 3rd is all you need.

It's laughable. Hawkeye revolutionized tennis in 2006!

I still say the umps are doing it on purpose. They want the electronics brought in....it won't cost any of them their jobs and they will still make the same money and be full time...but will have less responsibility.

He’s the ump who called the balk yesterday.

I really don't get how this guy and Angel Hernandez stay employed.

We are in week one and CB Bucknor must be fired. He had so many missed calls the other night behind home plate.

Also, last night he said the runner did not touch first base and replay showed he clearly did. Bucknor was not even looking at the runner when he touched first base. This guy needs to be immediately fired. He had to be the worst umpire right now in MLB.

Bucknor in spotlight again after missed call in Brewers-Rays

Umpire C.B. Bucknor, who had the poorest results among umpires in MLB's new ABS system last weekend, had another call overturned at first base during Tuesday's Brewers-Rays game.

Loving the new ABS.

And yes, CB needs to go
