Maryland president: North Carolina scandal merits 'death penalty'
Since 2010, the North Carolina athletic department has had hanging over it a dark cloud of allegations that threatens to rain down severe NCAA sanctions at any time.

C . B . Bucknor called that an out and had to be overruled by an umpire at the other end of the stadium. While working third base tonight, Bucknor again bailed out the Braves with a bad call as he ruled a one-hopper hit by Bryce Harper toward Emilio Bonifacio as an out.
The umpire was at third base for Wednesday’s Washington Nationals-Atlanta Braves game and nearly robbed Bryce Harper of a hit by calling this an out in the sixth inning Luckily the other umpires overruled Bucknor on his blown call , giving Harper a hit.
C.B. Bucknor must be trying to give us the belief that we can become MLB umpires. Because I have to imagine you or I would be way more competent at the job than this guy.
After almost ruining the end of the Nationals-Braves game Tuesday night, Bucknor came back for night two of his “Incredibly Incompetent Tour” of the major leagues.

C . B . Bucknor is my least favorite umpire (and at times it actually moves over the line into hatred). Bucknor blew a call , just blew it; and, Lou, being Lou, raced out of the dugout to argue vociferously about the bad call .
It’s now starting to look like umpire C . B . Bucknor has it out for the Nationals, because it’s hard to imagine that he’s this bad of an official. After blowing a strike-3 call behind home plate on Tuesday, Bucknor went back to sucking less than 24 hours later, and made another ridiculous call that went
CB Bucknor just said Bonifacio caught this ball. pic.twitter.com/95esmpQU3B

Yes, that was ruled an out. A one-hopper that fell and bounced a couple feet before landing in Bonifacio’s glove was ruled an out. Forget about the zoomed in replay angle everyone; in SunTrust Park other than the person who made the call thought that was an out. It was so bad that Bucknor’s call on a play that occurred in left field had to be overruled by the first base umpire. That’s when you know you made a bad call.
I have sympathy for officials because they’re human and make mistakes but even I can’t defend someone making two horrific calls in consecutive nights. I mean seriously, if I was as incompetent at my job as C.B. Bucknor is with his, I would hope my bosses would have the decency to fire me. Or at the very least, let me know that I suck at my job and need to improve or else I’ll be fired.
Umpire CB Bucknor faces backlash for terrible call
Umpire CB Bucknor faced some backlash on Tuesday night after making a horrendous call to give the Atlanta Braves a second chance against the Washington Nationals. Chase d’Arnaud was up for the Braves with the bases loaded and two outs in the 9th, with his team trailing 3-1. Facing a 1-2 count, d’Arnaud swung and clearly missed a pitch that bounced in the dirt.
Umpire CB Bucknor blows another call day after debacle. CB Bucknor saw his own brutal call from Tuesday and decided to one-up himself on Wednesday.
If not for his fellow umpires , Bucknor nearly blew another call on Wednesday.
Unsurprisingly, Bucknor was slayed in social media for the bad call.

About 50 children were evacuated from a Caracas hospital Thursday which the Venezuelan government blamed on an attack by armed gangs but the opposition attributed to tear gas used to quell unrest. As protests and looting continued into the night following another day of clashes between police and demonstrators in the capital, the government and opposition traded blows over the events at the maternity hospital.

CB Bucknor is awful. Just missed a ball bounce into a glove not more than 20 yards directly in front of him. Signaled Out. Was overruled.

I’m afraid to imagine what Bucknor could possibly come up with for a third edition. Hopefully when Braves and Nationals players talk about the game and talk about Bucknor’s abilities as an umpire, Major League Baseball takes it easy when it comes to any fines for criticizing officials. Because for what happened over the past two nights, they’re completely justified.
