Summary
MLB umpire CB Bucknor had a bad day behind the plate in a game between Cincinnati and Boston, with six of his calls overturned by Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenges. Former pro Cameron Maybin demanded a suspension for Bucknor, citing his history of inaccurate calls. Bucknor has been criticized for his wide strike zone, and the newly introduced ABS system has forced him to overturn several missed calls.
