[@A38]

And just to remind everyone, the title and general theme of this video is straight up incorrect. Angel is one of the least consistent umpires the MLB has ever seen (his numbers and accuracy vary wildly by team and by year of service), culminating in a 2023 season where he missed 161 calls in 10 games. Angel (among Wendelstadt, Kulpa and West) can all be attributed with having umpires' jobs replaced by robots. Not to mention, umpires' numbers decline with age. There's a very clear and noticeable trend in this regard. If Angel or any other ancient Ump had acknowledged that fact even once, we wouldn't be celebrating as much as we are. Angel really hurt the legitimacy of the sport with his narcissism.

[@xLOAxSpartan]

"Angel Hernandez isn't actually bad" might be the most controversial statement I've seen in a while.

BDE loves these clickbait pisstake vids every once in a while. Angel is undoubtedly one of the worst umpires anyway you slice it. A whole bad he had a video about “why jeter sucks”. It’s a fun exercise, but it’s just not true. He’d make a great defense attorney.

I think this is most of it. He has poor timing for bad calls. The other part is that once people started calling him a bad ump, people would assume close calls were wrong just cause everyone knows he is a bad ump. That led to people making scenes about bad calls and getting ejected.

[@MrBeatboxmasta]

Since Pat Hoberg called a game better than a robot would, perhaps MLB should enter all his calls into an algorithm to create their inevitable robot umpire.

That's a good idea. Maybe we should have that algorithm, and then pay people to be on the field with a relay team in the video rooms that see the pitches/plays, and then they relay it to the person on the field to call it, that way it'll be 100% accurate and everyone will love everyone on the field

[@crimsoncub4076]

i feel like angels calls behind the plate aren’t why people hate him it’s a combination of how quickly he ejects people and his atrocious calls in the field

[@fuhkerz]

Exactly. His ability to blow a big call in high impact situations is what really makes him stand out. The fact that he is so unapologetically bad just makes it worse. I think a good comparison would be Jim Joyce. He blew a call that cost a pitcher a perfect game and he acknowledged it and clearly felt awful about it. And most players, including the pitcher in question, loved him for it. Just imagine how Angel would react if he did the same thing and I think it will show the reason he is so widely considered to be the worst. It's way more than just number of balls and strikes incorrectly called.

one thing to note that most baseball players dont mind a ump missing as long as the miss is consistent the entire game every game. So they know the strike zone that umpire tend to have. its when they are all over the place that they get heated. (of course this is not a set rule in stone and outcomes can vary)

This comment deserves more love

[@BroheiOhtani]

the ump POV shots made me feel for them for a second, then I remembered I'm not professionally trained and haven't been calling balls and strikes in MLB for the last 25 years

[@wsb9045]

It made me remember why I get frustrated with most umps. Every one of the camera angles was leaning on the batter side because the umps are more worried about a foul ball than getting the call right. Of course you’re going to make bad calls when your perspective changes each batter.

[@Ianthegreatest]

I also got them all right, and I wasn't trained for that

[@patrickledonne5547]

​​@@wsb9045the view was on the batter side because the catcher was lined up on the outside corner. If the umpire positioned himself behind the other shoulder his face and view would be 2-3 feet outside the plate. The umpire should always set up over the shoulder of the catcher that offers the most direct view of the plate. If the catcher lines up inside, they position over the outside shoulder. If the catcher lines up with his head right down the center of the plate the umpire should be over the left shoulder unless the catcher is left handed.

[@Alexander_Grant]

The POV doesn't even make sense, I got all of those right and I've never been an ump in my life. I've hit against 90+ before though in high school (we had a stacked division) and it's a whole different game when you have your eyes vs watching video. The batter POV looks so much quicker to me than when I was actually in the batters box, and I'm sure that's the same for umpires. You're completely losing your spacial sense and hearing by watching a video, I could tell how deep a ball was hit in the outfield by the sound of it and I'm sure that helps with umping as well. All of that on top of what you said, I don't have any experience being an umpire and I still got it right.

The problem is that many people feel that "even they" could do a better job than most umpires. And, apprarently they're wrong.

The strike zone is not where the ball hits the mitt, it’s when it goes over the plate. Players move forward and back in the box for a reason, but the call is always made at the point it crosses the plate. You need to rethink what the strike zone actually is and what mlb explains it as.

Greg Maddux would be an average pitcher in 2024 because he wouldn't get anywhere close to the calls he did back then. And by the way, that is not necessarily a bad thing.

I feel like it's not the frequency of bad calls with Angel, it's more how extreme the bad calls are. He might not miss the most but when he does he misses big time. And his propensity for throwing players out. I don't have the data on if he throws more guys out than others but it certainly feels that way. If an ump makes a bad strike call the batter will move on by the next time he bats, but when they get tossed that's all they think about the rest of the day, so that would probably cause people to lean a lot more negatively towards their opinion of him. Then now that he already has a reputation for being bad, making people more likely to blow up at him... bit of a downward spiral

[@MicahSilversmith]

[@Riokaii]

18 umps worse than angel doesnt mean angel isnt bad, it means at least 19 umps are atrociously bad. People care less about the pure # of wrong calls, A close call gotten wrong is understandable. What gets you called bad and hated universally is the egregiousness of the incorrect calls, how NOT close they were, yet still called incorrectly. Angel does those, a lot.

[@zacharykai6317]

yea. when im playing if i get an ump that is consistant, im happy with that.

[@fuhkerz]

Exactly. What is the metric to decide the worse umpires? If it's just number of missed calls, that could easily be a few borderline calls that nearly any ump would have missed in the same spot. Even if it uses something like "average miss disrance", if those misses are on the first pitch of an at bat, that's very different than missing in critical full count situations. It's possible the metric takes all that into account and Angel really isn't as bad as some others. But I somehow doubt it. Especially when you consider things like his blown calls at first, blown tags at home, etc - things that dont show on umpire scorecard. Either way, MLB should make home plate umpire a specialized position and require a certain level of accuracy to do it. If they want to rotate umps for the other positions, that's fine. But home plate should be a rotation of guys with proven accuracy.

[@iamhungey12345]

This exactly.

[@cloudkitt]

And also being smug about it even after you were wrong. No one shits on Joyce despite blowing a perfect game because he owned up to it.

[@anonymousperson3023]

Here's the thing though: Would you rather get many close calls called incorrectly or more calls called correctly with the occassional egregious error? Obviously, if you don't look into it and see surface level stats, you'd chose option 1 but objectively, wouldnt you rather all the calls be right?

[@0besePlatypus]

He sued MLB for racial discrimination, claiming that was why he never umpired a World Series. A judge heard the case and ruled that he's just objectively bad at his job.

[@Howlett200699]

Crazyyyy he retired and saw this video yesterday. What timing on it lol 😆

[@TheePterrordactyl]

Lmao the odds this video released shortly before Hernandez announced his retirement is incredible.

[@foramoreperfectamerica8490]

I think it was Jomboy Media that did this but I'm not 100%. They compared where Angel Hernandez sets up compared to Pat Hoberg who called a perfect game, Hernandez sets up in the same spot no matter what, where as the perfect game ump sets up so that he is right above the catchers target at all times, also Hernandez blinks a lot so he misses things.

[@lxnavs]

What I get from this is that tv needs to fix the strike zone box

Angel retiring a day after this coming out is Comedy

[@quackatak6191]

This video made him retire

[@BobbySacamano]

So just when you try to get us to not be so hard on him, he retires. Classic Angel. He loved being the heel and you went and ruined it. And CCS is going off the air for awhile. What the hell is happening?!?!

[@monkeyperhaps4563]

My guy defended him and he still retired 🤣🎉

[@randomcommenter5552]

He deadass saw this video and decided to retire LMAO

[@justynclarke2747]

It’s kind of outrageous yet iconic that Angel announced his retirement the day after this came out

[@inthebucket2698]

Angel Hernandez has since retired after this video was posted 😂😂😂

Tony Brothers. Its bad when the broadcast is saying refs are supposed to de-escalate and he is out there looking for a fight.

[@jesusrivera521]

Wait! Is Scott Foster a "bad referee" or the BDE of NBA?

[@mkicon]

Angel Watched this video and retired immediately

[@legendofzeldaforlife8374]

Angel announcing his retirement after this came out is gold.

[@t3knyn]

Being a match official is never easy. Being an umpire in cricket I should know. Match officials whether a ref or umpire get the worst of it from players, coaches, managers and fans. It's a tuff job and u gotta be able to ignore the masses. I beg these ppl who always think they can do a better job than officials to step on the field and do wat we do

[@swimmerkat3965]

Yeah all those coaches and players whining about getting ejected after throwing a temper tantrum like they’re 3 year olds. Lmao

[@ru40342]

If Angel Hernandez is not even the worst umpire, there is no better arguments for robo ump.

[@luissoto3933]

PREACH!

[@XxxTheFireEmblemxxX]

There's an entire section in this video showing you how different robots disagree. Constantly. All the fucking time.

[@anonymousperson3023]

Not necessarily. The whole point of this video was to show that Hernandez is not the worst ump. He only gets that reputation because when he does make a wrong call, it goes viral compared to other umps who make worse overall calls but don't go viral. He's overhated because he's found himself in shitty positions. Not because he's actually just that bad. He's still below average but massively overhated due to things outside of his control

[@h445]

@@anonymousperson3023 the title is 'angel isn't actually bad' which he goes on to prove the opposite in the video. scoring better than 28% (lmao) of the others in your crew isn't a great point in the video's favor. the 'point' really loses its luster fast.

[@gradyjones7017]

Watched this video right before he retired 😭

Same I came back

[@chap8965]

Bro made Angel Hernandez say “Oh atleast one guy doesn’t think i’m the worst, i’ll retire now”

[@unseeninja]

May not be the worst, but its his approach and attitude that makes him completely hated.

[@Gallalad1]

Without a doubt. Be sued a league with almost half Latino players saying he was being discriminated against for being Latino. Like my brother in Christ come on

[@opietaylor2843]

Angle announced his retirement one day after this video was posted. Coincidence? I think not.

[@yakymua]

People gotta realize modern pitching is meant to deceive the batter with the most subtle of movements. The best pitchers throw 3 pitch combos where a 2 seam strike and a cutter ball only change direction across the plate.

[@abelportillo2855]

So basically here is how to make a grilled cheese Start off by getting your two slices of bread, lots of kinds of bread can be used such as sourdough which is pretty popular although I personally prefer using white bread. Next you need to get your cheese, lots of cheeses exist that are really good for grilled cheese but I realize that most people don't have many types of cheeses at home just laying there so if all you have are slices of American cheese I would recommend just using two slices per grilled cheese because that's just my personal preference for cheese to bread ratio Now for the cooking, I know some people use panini presses which work very well but most people don't have a panini press so you can just get an oven top and a stove and set heat at 3 and put butter on the pan and spread it around then when it's melted slap on the grilled cheese and keep it there until it is golden brown which is when you take it off and put another piece of butter on there and put the grilled cheese back on when it melts once that side has turned golden brown as well you must take it off and I personally recommend cutting it diagonally to make triangle and once you do that you can enjoy your delicious grilled cheese
