The ump that day

Has a brutal zone. Short leash for players/managers. Not a big league ump.

Yesterday’s ump for this same matchup was also trash. So many bad calls.

Let's not forgot it all started with the atrocious incorrect call Buckner. Only Angel Hernandez is worse.

Tell me you're a new homeplate ump without saying you're a new homeplate ump

PLEASE @MLB GET HIM OUT SOONER THAN LATER WE DONT NEED MORE CB BUCKNORS

Dude was 💯 looking in the mirror before the game talking to himself getting ready for his big moment, and he saw it and took it lol

When you realize umpires are just the cops of baseball, a lot of their behavior starts making sense

I’m an Astros fan so the Mariners are a rival. And yet, this was trash. This umpire is ridiculous. I’m glad he got an earful.

He’s got “look at me” written all over him

It's getting ridiculous how soft umps are these days. They need to tuck their ears in and grow thicker skin. From a fans perspective, it cost too much money to go to a game then see some soft ump eject star players because their feelings got hurt. 😡

That’s one of the worst check swing strike calls ever

Now that the pitch clock debate is mostly over can we go straight to robo umps. Pretty sure you could have a camera system that calls checked swings too.

Why is he touching the manager? It's a no contact league, suspend him.

Every year the mlb comes up with new rules to ‘improve’ the game…how about getting their umps in check?

Think about how awesome NFL refs are. They get earfuls from coaches and players and never toss anybody. Mlb and nba refs…

CB Buckner is terrible...so arrogant. It was so obvious that Tom checked his swing....Buckner needs to check his calls please. 😊 GO MARINERS!

MLB umps make way too much money to be this soft.

It was CB Bucknor at first. Huge surprise

CB Buckner made the bad call on the check swing. He’s had to overturn two of his bad calls in two games. They say CB stands for confused brotha 😂

Billions of $$ spent MLB and the average umpire salary well over 200k and we still have this. Please renegotiate the grading system with the Umpire Union so the umpires can be held accountable and really fined for what they do. Do they have Qualified Immunity like police officers

That inexperience shows. Bad call on the check swing (1B umpire) but then home plate ump doubled down and tossed him. Hope he learns.

@PatrickR_1 dam cb buckner needs to retire this call isn't even close and then this still wet behind the ears rookie ump trying to show he is the man ... what a joke

He didn't make the call, U1 did.

That whole crew is so ass

Who's the jamoke behind the plate?

Don't disrespect the umps and there won't be any problem.

Cal should have let one go over the shoulder the next inning

I hope Jomboy also shows the Big Dumper double after taking over Tom Murphys at bat...oh wait

Fucking CB you're fucking terrible, Jesus christ 🤣🤣

It's so good for baseball that Bucknor gets to train these new, young umpires..

Seriously, what a joke.

Get rid of human umpires entirely.

The problem is when a player messes up gets tossed. They are fined and suspended and everyone knows it. When a Ump screws up. You never know if they are fined, suspended etc. it’s all BS.

The weird thing is he's carrying CB Bucknor's water, of all people
