On Saturday, following a three-hour rain delay, the Chicago White Sox's 6-5 10-inning victory over the St. Louis Cardinals ended abruptly, thanks to a controversial call by Bucknor. Once the rain subsided and play resumed, the Cardinals left the bases loaded after the umpire rang up pinch-hitter Ivan Herrera on an outside pitch for strike three to end the game.

This isn't the first time this week that Bucknor's decisions have drawn the ire of the baseball community. On Wednesday, former Baltimore Orioles pitcher and MASN in-game analyst Jim Palmer criticized a low strike call by Bucknor in a game against the New York Yankees, saying "he shouldn't be umpiring."
