CB Bucknor went 2 for 8 on ABS challenges in a single game Saturday and the Red Sox couldn't even fight back by the fourth inning.

He called back-to-back strikes on Eugenio Suarez with the bases loaded in the sixth, both got overturned. Then he rang up Trevor Story on a check swing in the eighth with the tying run on base, refused to ask the first base umpire for help, and ejected Alex Cora for arguing it. The league is going 58 percent on ABS challenges so far this season. Almost 60 percent of the time a team challenges a call, the umpire was wrong. That is not a system catching tough calls. That is a system catching real mistakes, documented in public, with nowhere to hide.
