Is it too soon to start a Magic Number thread?
Not too soon. It's the perfect time.

That's what I was thinking. I didn't want to jump the gun and be accused of jinxing anything. So I asked here instead of just going and doing it.

So, remember this?

Umpires for today's exibition game were Ron Kulpa, Angel Hernandez and...

CB Bucknor (talk about an unholy trinity).

https://www.stltoday.com/sports/basebal ... 02527.html
In the first meeting since a biting exchange last August in Arizona, Marmol approached home plate to meet with the umpires before Saturday’s Grapefruit League opener at Roger Dean Stadium. From the press box, it was possible to see Marmol extend his hand toward Bucknor for a handshake. Marmol said Bucknor refused the offer, and the Post-Dispatch confirmed that Bucknor did indeed decline to move his hand.

“He didn’t extend his. He didn’t,” Marmol said when asked by the Post-Dispatch about the exchange with the umpire. “The thing is when I think about it, I went into that game pretty certain of my thoughts on him as an umpire. Weren’t very good. And it just shows his lack of class as a man. That’s bottom line.
Marmol said one of the other umps apologized for Bucknor's behavior.

Yeah, now that I watched Jomboy I do remember that game.

Frankly, after that screed from Marmol - as well deserved as it was - I understand why Bucknor didn't shake his hand today. "You need to f*cking go" indeed!

Bucknor sucks and good on Marmol. Nice to finally have a really good all around manager on this team. He doesn’t miss.

To be clear, I'm all for retiring CB Bucknor. I wish the league could do something about him and Angel Hernandez both.
