[@kg4wwn]

People would come to games he's umpiring just to do this, and ticket sales would go up, and they'd put him in more games because of it. What people need to do is walk out, leave the game and demand refunds. Issue chargebacks if no refund is issued.

[@seanbrower6738]

Not to mention that all teams of games in which he’s to be an umpire need to start to refuse to take the field. Sure, at first, MLB would just give both teams forfeits, but as times goes on, things will begin to change. Hey, non-violent civil disobedience worked once. It can work again.

It is actually not Hernandez's fault. He is useless. He has disengaged and lost respect of the players. He has compromised the fans enjoyment of the game. He consistently brings baseball into negativity and disrepute. Everyone knows the man has no pride or self respect as he consistently puts himself above others. He knows the damage he is doing. And he just doesn't care. It's all about Angel Hernandez and no one else matters. All he is doing is using the system because he knows he can. It's no secret. A dead ant knows all of this. However the fault is the system and it's management for allowing this to continue and not resolving the problem. For the games sake make a stand and an executive decision. Never let the man step onto a baseball field under the guise of an umpire ever again by quoting ineptitude and a failure to produce minimum required results. If he sues, so be it. If he wins, pay it. The game is far more important that this individual. Do whatever it takes to get rid of this unwanted stain on the great game of baseball...

Here's the thing with Angel, he does it all on PURPOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! He knows what he's doing, he's not stupid, in fact, he's very smart. He loves to make bad calls on purpose, just to f**k with players and managers. And, by the looks of it, he's doing a great job!! I mean, the guy really likes to screw with players, if he's behind the plate he will call a ball a strike and a strike a ball. To even it out, sometimes he will make some good calls. He has to, otherwise it would be too obvious LOL!! I think he's got the record for most overturned calls at first base, and when they overturn his call he always has this goofy look on his face like "WHOOPS" did I do that?? O well, one of these days he's bound to do something so crazy that baseball will finally be able to fire his ass. Patience.
