Bucknor's Blunder: Replay Saves the Day

0:00On April 1st, Umpire CB, but North had another rough moment on the field during the Milwaukee Brewers 6-2 win over the tap of Bay Rays on Tuesday. In the 6th inning, with the Brewers of 4-2, Jake Bowers smacked an infield single but got called out for missing first base. Replay showed he touched the bag clear as day, right in the middle, so the call got flipped. Bowers didn't waste time after that. He stole second and scored on Brandon Lockridge's double later in the inning, helping pad the lead. Both managers cracked smiles over the obvious miss, keeping things like. Bowers just said he was thankful to get on base and score, laughing about MLB's replay saving the day. This blunder came right after Bucknor's worst showing in baseball's new automated ballstrike system last weekend. Six out of eight challenges on his calls got overturned during Cincinnati's win over Boston. All strikes turned to balls. Bucknor's season slump keeps rolling, but replays got everyone's back for now. We've been listening to MLB News today, AI-powered baseball coverage.
