Umpire C.B. Bucknor Misses Call Again This Season

C.B. Bucknor faced criticism after a controversial call during the Brewers’ 6-2 victory over the Rays on March 31, 2026. He incorrectly ruled that Milwaukee’s Jake Bauers missed first base, despite Bauers clearly touching it, and was not watching the play when he made the call. The decision was quickly challenged and overturned, prompting laughter from players and managers alike. This incident follows a weekend where Bucknor had six calls overturned in a single game, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of his officiating.
