C B Buckner at it again

If he was replaced, someone else would take his place as the worse umpire in MLB and I am sure players and coaches wouldn't like the new "worst".

I understand the comments concerning his judgment, abilities and visuals.
But, somebody up the food chain seems to disagree.

I watch MLB umpires to see what I can learn. Both do's and dont's. As far as the worst umpire .... somebody's got to get that tag, and he has accomplished far more than I could ever dream of.

I've said this numerous times: Is it just me, or does CB seem to have some permanent smirk on his face? It's as if he's got an irritating smirk that just doesn't look good.

How is trashing Bucknor going to make me a better official? So he makes more mistakes than the average MLB guy. They all have weird mechanics. So what.

Or is the point that he punched out Manny on a ball? Is this RSN whining?

I'm not saying he does this look intentionally; rather, I think it's just a physical attribute of his that makes him look worse.
