I don’t think Bucknor was involved, but the Mariners had a call against them earlier this year that was as bad or worse. As I recall, it was a similar play, with the pitcher tossing the ball to the first basemen after fielding a dribbler down the line. Except the pitcher never even threw the ball to the first baseman, who feigned catching the ball for the out.
I did some research on the play I referred to in an earlier post, and I had it a bit wrong. Seattle was playing Texas, and the Mariners had a runner on first base. A bouncer was hit towards first base and was fielded by the pitcher, who threw to second base for the force out. The pitcher then continued on towards first base, stopping about five feet short of the base. The relay throw to first was caught by the pitcher, well off the bag, rather than by the outstretched first baseman, who had his foot on the bag. The runner was called out even though the pitcher never tagged the runner or touched first base. The first baseman pretended that he had made the catch, and got away with it.
