"LEVERING: So the call from CB Bucknor is that Jake Bauers missed first base, and then was tagged out not that he made a move to second base and was tagged out that he flat-out missed the bag. And I think that is a horrendous call. Where is CB Bucknor looking?"
"SCHROEDER: He's not even looking at it. Why would he even say that? LEVERING: CB Bucknor was not even looking at the play! SCHROEDER: He stepped right on top of first base. I'm not sure what CB Bucknor's looking at there. That's ridiculous!"
"LEVERING: Well, I'm really excited for him to have the plate tomorrow. Another ump then announced the call was overturned."
"SCHROEDER: That's just a waste of time reviewing that. LEVERING: At least review is available so you can get it right."
During a game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays, an umpire incorrectly ruled that Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers missed first base after a hit. The call was made by first base umpire CB Bucknor, despite replays showing Bauers clearly stepped on the base. The Brewers challenged the call, which was subsequently overturned. Broadcast announcers expressed disbelief at the initial call, criticizing Bucknor for not observing the play correctly. The incident ended with both managers laughing at the situation.
