Is CB Buckner still calling games?

Oh yes he is and he seems to have the popular vote as next in line as the worst. I can't say I disagree. I'd certainly throw Laz Diaz in the nomination pool.

Saw this somewhere else and just had to copy and post ...

Reports are coming out that Angel Hernandez's retirement came out from a meeting with top MLB officials. Officials were questioning Hernandez's ability to see and comprehend correctly. Angel got so worked up that he stormed out and slammed the door behind himself. It took Angel 10 minutes to realize he was in the closet...His announcement of retirement came soon after.

A decent read. He got three calls overturned by replay in the first four innings of 2018 ALDS Game 3.

Ángel Hernández, MLB’s most infamous umpire, leaves us with an odd legacy

Being an MLB umpire is a thankless job, both emotionally taxing and physically strenuous. But Hernández’s outwardly standoffish attitude and penchant for comically bad calls did him no favors.
