On social media, several fans were not joyful about the missed call from CB Bucknor. The Minor Leagues are working on a challenge system and in this particular case, it would be nice if it was implemented to get the right call on the field.
CB Bucknor is just ruining this game

A missed call or two here and there, even close calls, are part of the game. It’s not baseball when a guy is that bad. And he’s like that every game.
