Both times, he said "batter challenging the pitch." No, the batter was challenging the call. Which Buckner got wrong, all 6 challenges in that game. Quote

But umpires like Buckner are going to be shown up, on TV, for the whole baseball world to see. And once word gets around, more players will challenge every borderline call he makes. His credibility will be shot.... Quote
