Arrr, me hearties! C.B. Bucknor be makin' a blunder of epic proportions with his strike three call in the MLB game betwixt the Cardinals and White Sox. 'Twas a real head-scratcher after a three-hour rain delay. Bucknor be walkin' the plank for that one!
In the year of our Lord 2024, MLB umpire C.B. Bucknor found himself in hot water once more after a call that would make even a parrot squawk in disbelief. The game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox ended with Bucknor calling strike three on poor Ivan Herrera, a call so far outside the strike zone it belonged in Davy Jones' locker.Despite the Cardinals having bases loaded with no outs, the White Sox slipped away with a 6-5 victory after two strikeouts and a three-hour rain delay. When Herrera stepped up to bat with a 1-2 count, the lefty Tanner Banks threw a pitch so wide it could have been mistaken for a plank off the ship.The Cardinals crew couldn't believe their eyes, with the announcers crying, "You've got to be kidding me!" Manager Oliver Marmol voiced his displeasure, lamenting that the game should have been decided between the pitcher and the hitter, not by a scallywag of an umpire.Bucknor's recent blunders have been the talk of the seven seas, drawing the ire of players and fans alike. While the life of an umpire may be treacherous, calls like these from Bucknor are enough to make even Blackbeard himself shake in his boots. Arrr!
