CB Bucknor makes the worst call you've ever seen, a breakdown

This one is brought to you by Fanatics

Sportsbook. Let's dive in. We're in the

sixth inning of a two-run game. There's

two outs. Brewers and Rays. Remember

they had a big brawl a couple years ago?

That was fun. 20 pitch is smoked,

knocked down by the second baseman, but

then thrown away with these. The Rays

say, "Hey, give me the ball. This play's

not dead. I don't think he touched first

base," says the Rays first baseman. And

Stevie Buckner calls him out. The first

baseman,

the first baseman thinks he has to go

tag him. He steps on the bag there, but

he doesn't think that that's when he's

going to get him out. CBer says, "Out."

First baseman is like, "What?" Okay.

Okay. And CB's like, "I already called

him out." And he tags him and everyone's

like, "What's going on? What's going

on?" Then you're going to see CB walk

in. This is footage we got that hasn't

been seen. And he he asks the Home Plate

umpire. He says, "Did he touch the bag?

Did he touch the bag?"

Uh, "Did you see him touch the bag?"

Homeplayed umpire's like, "Well, CB, you

called him out." He's like, "Yeah, I had

him not touching the bag." He's like,

"Well, then he's out." Yeah. So, you

have to call him out. Yeah. Okay. Yeah,

you're right. call on the field is that

the batter runner did not touch first

base and then was put out.

>> 15 seconds on the clock for you guys to

challenge. And trust me, you're going to

want to challenge. So, I'm letting you

know right away, you've got 15 seconds

on the clock to challenge. Look at the

first base coach. Gives him the confused

dog look. Huh?

What?

Bower's like, "Come on, CB. You crazy.

What? He What you say? He didn't touch

the bag. What? Everyone's looking at the

replay. Okay, let's see. Did he touch

the bag? What's happening here? Did he

step on the white? The big white. Yeah.

Okay. And CB surely saw that because

he's looking right at the player. Oh,

he's not looking at the one place he

should be looking.

Maybe that's why he missed it. Well,

what could have happened? Because he's

getting in position. He's looking at it.

the throw goes away and he goes, "Oh,

look at so funny." He just gets

distracted by the ball going away right

there. He just starts following the ball

and by the time he looks back right

there, he's he's off past the bag. It's

unbelievable. They go, "Well, how did he

miss that?" And then they show the

replay and you're like, "Oh, because he

didn't look at it." So, he's getting

into position, getting into position,

the ball is ary, and then he follows the

ball. Look at this. It's just so

perfect. It's so perfect. It's

unbelievably perfect. That's why it's so

surprising because CB isn't a

perfectionist. And this is perfect. It's

the perfect way to to miss a call. You

don't look at the one thing you're

supposed to be looking at. You get

distracted by the ball flying in the

air. So, they they quickly come back

from replay.

>> Have to review. He's safe. The call's

overturned. Milwaukee retains your

challenge. Uh, and Vow is just laughing

and CB's like, "Okay, well, yeah, I knew

I missed it. Don't blame me. I mean, I

went and asked." And the manager just

looking at it, you're like, "What?"

I mean, look at these like serious

faces. Then Icon and Cash is like, "What

the hell?" Looking at manager of the

Brewers, Murphy, who looks at him like,

"I don't know, man. I mean, that's CB

for you." He's like, "What?" He's like,

"Yeah." I mean, so CB's giving laughter

to the people, which is great, and good

medicine. and the hat's coming off or

scratching her head like what the hell

just happened? And yeah, I do have a

little bit of a problem with baseball

MLB in this way. If the umpire,

you know, we're all human. If an umpire

looks away, they miss it. There's

something wrong with the either MLB, the

infrastructure put in, or the union.

Like CB Buckner should just go, "Hey,

this is an umpire's challenge. I'm not

positive." I I I botched it. I looked

away. They shouldn't force another team

to risk one of their challenges because

we know they love to say call stands,

even though that's egregious, but if

you're an umpire and you're not sure,

why can't they just go, "Oh, this is

going to be an umpire's decision." At

any point in the game, I think that that

would be the best thing to do. This
