Umpire Angel Hernandez missed 23 calls in the

[@R2robot]

The umpire's union should be ASHAMED to allow this guy to continue working at this level.

[@kentonpriestley3173]

He sucks obviously and has for years but his ego is what makes him truly bad for the game. Maybe he is a good person but he makes me not like to watch any game he calls

[@antonioladd186]

Any levels

[@nukeninmgt1504]

​@@antonioladd186 Fr, Id be annoyed if he was calling HS games.

[@woodcutter6235]

There’s a lot of them that need to go! At least sent back to training school! And maybe term limits 😂

[@jheiny1231]

This guy is consistent. I've played all my life . Threw college. As pitchers and hitters u need to know what the ump likes to call period. Each ump is different and u have to take that into consideration. Its part of the game

[@todd.goslin6190]

Angel Hernandez's strike zone is like a box of chocolates......

[@michaelcafaro]

Touche 😉

[@hueality]

😂😂😂😂

[@Lukeruffner]

That made me lol

[@Only1Feedie]

U never know whatcha gone get

@@Lukeruffner it’s not 2016 who says that😭😭

[@charlespreiss3426]

I don’t understand how Angel Hernandez can see videos like this and still believe he is a real umpire.

[@bryonkidder6199]

He's convinced everyone hates him because of his heritage, not because he's a terrible Umpire...lol

[@austinlilly8385]

If he could see this video he might be able to call games better but the issue is he’s clearly blind and can’t see at all😂

Cuz he's an utter moron. Dude thinks he's discriminated against, when reality is he only got the gig as a diversity hire.

[@jonb2911]

He doesn’t care. They knows they can’t fire him and he’s making bank. When you make tons on money, you tend not to care about people’s opinions.

[@AdamLock3]

This is honestly hard to watch. Pathetic really

[@74bigt]

He is doing it as a protest. He lost his court case. Fire him immediately!

[@12cmercer]

This guy is a threat to the integrity of the game. If the union wants to prevent computers from doing their job, they need to keep Angel Hernandez from ever being behind the plate. It’s not helping their case whenever he’s back there

[@franklinrogers6388]

They gave them that power as a union, bring in the robots!

[@Saidwhatyourethinking]

Facts!!!

[@MrManAmong]

You can thank the umpires union for this. It’s like impossible to fire these guys.

[@xuimod]

America loves unions.

[@carlfrye1566]

​@@xuimod: America loves competent hard working folks. Unions have allowed the slackers to get paid more than they should.

[@nicklanese2210]

All I could say is AMAZING. The man is a show unto himself.

[@adriankaschel4035]

It's time for him to go

[@1ChuckO]

Iossogna is following his footsteps. Batters and catchers should be allowed appeals for this

[@AG86666]

Teams need to refuse to take the field when angel is set to umpire

[@franklinrogers6388]

Like tenured teachers you can't fire the worst umpire in the history of the world.

[@jasonb5613]

What is crazy, we as fans know this. And yet he still has a job. I’m thinking if you’re the worst at a job, maybe it’s not for you. ✌🏼

[@michaelcafaro]

So if you go to the steak house and your steak sucks...do you keep returning anyway...the fans can get the chef replaced for crappie steak 👀 the fans can get angel replaced by not returning also. Guess what else...if the fans boycott baseball cuz of Barry being excluded from the hall and it costs substantial revenues...the owners will change rules putting Barry in Cooperstown just like it was a magic show 💣

[@billnoi]

Teams should protest, refuse to play with some of these umps and force baseball to do something

[@antmon123]

basically like calling the weather - you can get it wrong most of the time, but still keep your job

[@MauricioR23]

Weathermen are way more accurate than Angel Hernandez. Weather is also unpredictable that's why it call the forecast, not the weather prediction.

[@davidcarmack5074]

Angel Hernandez is the very worse umpire in major league baseball.

[@markreibson7030]

i would expand this to include all professional sports.

[@Andrew-ve6it]

I hope people realize the MLB is paying him to miss these calls, it’ll make going fully automatic seem like a great idea and it was the fans choice.

[@Saidwhatyourethinking]

You dropped your tin foil hat..

[@rayl3103]

In the end, it evens out. That's Angel's thinking.

[@JP18729]

Worst umpire in MLB history. There isn't even a debate

[@drewbryan6739]

He is actually better and more consistent than half the umpires in the 1970s. What's the reason he is so reviled today? That stupid white box on the TV screen that tells you nothing, that's what. Go back watch a game called by Vic Voltaggio.

[@NizineToFizive]

I’m so intrigued that I want to go watch him call a game

[@kenneth-pc7mf]

He is the worst in MLB.

[@joeyb1766]

Helen Keller: "wtf, angel are you blind"

[@danielpeters6937]

He had something on the game… only excuse I would except

[@FunkBastid]

He’s consistently this bad

[@krwblue]

It was clearly going both ways.. these comments straight up piss me off with how stupid people can be

[@BigTexan4]

How is this man still an umpire?

[@cleveland2022]

in the bizarro world of Angel Hernandez where strikes are called balls and balls are called strikes

[@rayl3103]

Literally misses perfect pitches.

[@whatsakingtoagod5583]

Vegas-If it’s a strike, call it a ball. If it’s a ball, call it a strike. Angel-Got it

[@davidtrickey9863]

Dude had a bet on the game

[@murraysmith1925]

Still amazed that this guy has been able to keep his job.

[@junkwaxflashbacks]

Clearly, he was the umpire that Frank Drebin knocked out with the bat in the Naked Gun.

[@theShadowBolts20]

Angel hernandez is the strongest argument for electronic umpires. He shouldn't be coaching peewee much less MLB.

[@guywebster8018]

Hes that bad folks. 😂

[@TreyM1609]

There’s a reason this dude “retired” today. It was either that or him being fired with lawsuits.

[@landonp4726]

Easy solution to the umpire union…get rid of umpires. Dont need them

[@chewiebacka4377]

Must be so frustrating for the players.

[@christophermchale2971]

In little league if the pitch was a clear strike I would roll the ball back to the pitcher.

[@xxcampheroxx]

Okay I feel Nick a little bit… on the fact that it’s just weird that he’s apparently this good. But then I was reminded of Tom Brady and the fact that something like this has kind of happened. A young competent QB paired with a great coach, and a great defense to back him up. I wouldn’t be putting all my chips on “he’s not legit” just yet.

[@Adaman135]

Their union needs to do something about this guy. He single handedly makes me want to I unpack so I never have to see his face. Will never go to a game he’s working

[@MauricioR23]

What's incredible is that he calls the blatant balls, strikes, and he call the borderline pitches balls. That's incompetence at it's finest.

[@adamjefferson6229]

The ump is correct them catchers being slick tryna move the spot wit his glove we Kno the tricks 🤨😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@terrimcghee6922]

Oh he is the WORST umpire in the league! I am a Rangers fan and he called 3 outside pitches strikes and struck out Langford and even the Astros announcers said “Wow”

[@martinbednarczyk5814]

He would he not be considered a reliable eye witness in court

[@user-skankhunt4242]

If I missed 23 calls in one day at night job, I'd be fired. I think it's time for Angel and MLB to part ways. He's already off to a horrendous start in '24.

[@richardperegud]

eric Gregg #2

[@user-ue2vf7sc5s]

Oh no. I have seen his calls before!! No Angel here.

[@michaelwoodard726]

Does that umpire have any eye problems or did he get bought off ?

[@adamm2787]

Since Umpire Scorecard started tracking umps Hernandez has called 231 games from behind the plate. He has had 10 or more incorrect calls in 170 of those games and 20 or more incorrect calls in 20 of those games. He has also had 56 games where his accuracy was below 90%.

[@Whosaids0]

Angel keeps pulling the reverse uno.

[@barrywainwright3391]

the MLB organization needs to have this unprofessional Ump removed and dismissed from duty and the Umpire organization should be ashamed to have him working for them. Unreal.

[@noicenoobs-gb6hr]

Just so you know he was fired XD

[@kylewilson7821]

Baffling that he is still employed. Something is definitely wrong with MLB.

[@Condemned439]

Equality 💪🏻

[@fardinahmed7154]

Now I wonder how the hell does Angel Hernandez have children if he keeps missing a certain strikezone if you know what I mean.

[@Rivethead242]

Este señor, Angel Hernández, es un broma. MLB deberia despedirlo de una vez por todas. Es ridículo !!!

[@pelawler15]

Opposite day that day or what? 😂😂

[@justineicher1123]

He would be the worst umpire to use during agame to teach someone else about baseball. So when someone throw out of the box its a strike and when you throw inside the box its a ball

[@cacique8133]

He needs to be fired man This dude is blind is a bat

[@KyleePookie]

The thing where it shows the ball where it was is wrong

[@870expressmag]

Little did anyone know, but it was opposite day. 😂

[@wiseogjc370]

At this point, I think AH does this on purpose. There's no way a reasonable professional umpire is this bad at the highest level of baseball. There's just no excuse.

[@Puckbroz]

Like what the fluff angel

[@bryceegley2443]

If it’s on the line, it’s not a bad call for the ump to go either way. We have the box they don’t. But the ones that are a few inches outside and still strikes are ridiculous

[@drewbryan6739]

The box is not accurate.

[@bentracy6197]

Every ump has their own zone.

[@officerlawnmower]

Its time to go to automated balls and strikes. This way, pitchers, batters and managers will have one less thing to complain about.

[@rnv685]

That mthrfckr is the reason why there's an urgent need to make use of the positioning tech on top of umpire calling... they're killing the game's fairness!!

[@timstevenson7993]

He calla a high strike. Best be swinging at those

[@jamiemcfall2523]

umpires everywhere should be ashamed

[@jeffstark6465]

Fire this dude

[@patrickmeehan2841]

And to think this fine umpire actually sued MLB for not making him a crew chief and no playoff assignments. Thank god the courts threw it all out.

[@Jalenhurtsishim]

I’m his next game he missed 22 😬😬😬

[@thegraciousfundamentalists6146]

Now I know to look him up & see what game he's umpiring, and not bet that game.... He's ridiculous... Him & a few others....smdh🥺

[@yeeeyeeeeeeyee]

Why do professional leagues have professional players, professional coaches, and bush league officiating 😂

[@Tmb31]

The result of no consequences…

[@ulikemykungfu3995]

If they really can’t fire him can’t they say he is only allowed to be a 3rd base umpire? Does he HAVE to work behind the plate?

[@Colinisgojo]

We need the robots 🙏

[@lincoln12347]

bro why is no one talking about how horrible the astors catcher was framing it😭 the pitch was at the very bottom of the zone and he brought it up to the very top

[@LiquidSoulfly]

So you're saying he's improving?

[@NRG_GOLD]

bro he hates the Astro’s bro like why

[@munaclassic4020]

I don’t understand how the MLB has umpires like this and call them selves the best run baseball league.

[@coreystone5370]

These catchers are ridiculous with the framing.

[@michaelcafaro]

Clearly angel will always be clueless this issue will not be addressed ever absent the certainty of negative effects on baseball revenues. Just something else to talk about. Anyone remember what was previously labeled a "national league strike". The national league umpires cared that technology showed they suck. Angel knows he sucks 😂 Angel simply doesn't care 😮

[@christianwarner3155]

This straight up looks intentful, wth?

[@bradw7688]

What’s the semi retired ump looking at ?

[@indypendent7337]

Just got to this one. Care to say who got the calls? Kind of looks like Orange is the new black.

[@CK-yi6pc]

Absolutely the WORST EVER! 🇺🇸🇨🇱

[@daleg324]

Angel is no angel. He is a terrible corrupt umpire. While many umpires are waiting to get to the big leagues this schmuck hurts badeball everytime he steps on the field.

[@alexmccleod243]

Does he know he’s the worst ump in history?

[@boilerbob0526]

Worst umpire in baseball

[@hoysebebetv4406]

The umpires are in on it… The sport wants to justify bringing in AI robots to call balls and strikes. Makes sense

[@bhouse8o8]

Why is this guy still an MLB ump?!?

[@equinoxproject2284]

Some of the strike zone graphics are whack. The top for some guys is so low.

[@Eddie0102]

Brother some of these were absolutely painted… are you serious ??? DESPICABLE

[@turnthree5617]

He couldn't call a little league game.

[@Jalenhurtsishim]

In his next game he missed 22 calls

[@JamesBrown-li4ej]

He has strikes and balls confused that’s why

And has the nerve to cry racism because they don't let him call WS games 😂😂😂

Can I apply 😊

Angel needs fired but because of the Union he won't

I have worked thousands of games from 8 u preps to NCAA championship games … Hernandez is the worst.
