The WORST Umpire In Baseball History

vampires and baseball are never usually liked every single night and every single game being played there's always one side at the very least being critical of the home plate umpire if not both dugouts the idea of robot umpires has been brought into play for a few years now and the more and more we watch the current umpires mess up calls the way they do it's looking more and more like robo umps can be a reality but until then we just have to keep on suffering through people like angel hernandez most baseball fans are not familiar with umpires names if really any the popularity is exactly the opposite of the players in the sense where the worst ones get noticed the most whereas you never hear about the good ones angel hernandez is easily one of the top known umpires among baseball fans and has been for a number of years now why because he's terrible from calling balls strikes strikes balls not understanding what it means to be safe or out unnecessarily ejecting players and coaches suing major league baseball for racism for simply not having an umpire in the post season the list just goes on and on so why is angel hernandez so hated why is he still employed why did he sue major league baseball and why is angel hernandez the worst umpire in baseball take a second to like this video and if you're new to the channel be sure to hit that subscribe button for future baseball content angel has a ton of vampiring accolades throughout his career he umpired in the world series in 2002 and 2005 as well as the all-star game in 1999 09 and 2017. he has officiated in seven league championship series in 2001 03 0407 10 and 16 and an 11 league division series 97 98 0205 09 11 12 15 17 18 and 20. hernandez also worked game seven of the 2008 lcs as an injury fill-in for daryl cousins in 2006 and 2011 hernandez was listed as the third worst baseball umpire in sports illustrated player bull a 2010 espn survey showed that 22 percent of major league baseball players asked identified hernandez as the worst umpire in the major leagues angel has also had his fair share of incidents regarding players managers and coaches on may 8th of 2013 hernandez and two other umpires ruled a long hit by the athletics adam rosales as a double following a video review although the ball clearly hit a railing above the top of the wall oakland's manager bob melvin argued the call and hernandez ejected it from the game one in which the athletics lost 4-3 major league baseball later admitted that the hit should have been called a home run but said that it was too late to overturn it several umpires argue that the replay system did not provide clear enough pictures and the system was later changed in august 2017 detroit tiger second baseman ian kinsler was fined ten thousand dollars by major league baseball for critical comments he made about angel hernandez kinsler had said that hernandez was a bad umpire and quote unquote needs to find another job you then have october 8th of 2018 when hernandez was the first base empire 4 game 3 of the 2018 alds between the yankees and red sox four out of five plays that he called at first base which were submitted for video review were overturned hall of fame pitcher and your current tbs analyst pedro martinez said after the game angel was horrible don't get me going on angel now major league baseball needs to do something about angel it doesn't matter how many times he sues mage league baseball he's as bad as there is pitcher cc sabathia also weighed in saying this i need to say this though i don't think ancient hernandez should be up in uh playoff games he's absolutely terrible he's terrible behind the plate today he's terrible at first base it's amazing that how he's getting the job to pitching to playing these to umpire and he's in these playoff games it's just a conversation for us but he's he shouldn't be anywhere near a playoff game is that sentiment shared by many of you everybody out there everybody i think if you go ask them on the other side too cece was it was his strike zone tonight it's always yeah it's always he's bad i don't understand why he's doing these games hernandez declined to comment after the game a blowout win for the red sox but major league baseball issued a statement through a spokesperson and i quote there were several very close calls at first base tonight and we are glad that instant replay allowed the umpire and crew to achieve the proper result on all of them that sounds like a defense of angel to me mlb removed hernandez from the position of acting crew chief after accusing him of eavesdropping on an mlb investigative call in july 2019. hernandez did not hang up his phone when his interview ended and instead continued listening to the subsequent questioning of another umpire that he knew was intended to be separate had the most ridiculous lawsuit of all time in july 2017 hernandez filed a federal lawsuit against major league baseball alleging that racial discrimination led to him being overlooked for world series games and crew chief promotions nearly a week after he filed the lawsuit hernandez was named to the 2017 all-star game and selected as the first base umpire for the 2017 and later the 2018 american league division series in march of 2021 u.s district judge j paul odkin granted a summary judgment in mlb's favor writing quote unquote the court concludes that no reasonable juror could find that mlb's stated explanation is a pretext or discriminatory motive and the evidence shows beyond genuine dispute that an umpire's leadership and situation management carried the day in mlb's promotion decisions mlb's response in legal files to hernandez's trial includes that hernandez didn't behave as a team leader or work in the world series in addition to the red sox raised delay the mlb also listed other incidents in a response to hernandez including violating the league rules when he asked homer bailly to autograph 11 baseballs after a no hitting game in 2012 and three of his calls were cancelled by a pickup during the first four innings of a 2018 yankees red sox playoff game and as of most recently in may of 2021 hernandez literally admitted that he basically guessed and that's a real quote on a crucial play during the royals indians game saying that the kaufman stadium outfields walls scoreboard got in his way of seeing what happened on a play where the ball hit the dirt indian's manager terry francona the manager of the team that actually benefited from the bad call criticized hernandez for the play saying he asked hernandez himself quote unquote why is this always happening when you're here hernandez is the perfect example of someone who has a huge ego and when called out on his bs plays the victim card it's maddening to watch as for why he's still employed by major league baseball your guess is as good as mine it legitimately makes zero sense he's terrible at his job and impacts games in such a negative way the players hate him managers and coaches hate him the fans hate him and like i said he has a massive ego that he hates being challenged angel hernandez is the worst umpire in baseball history

Wasn’t this video the impetus for the sub being created?

Is the umpires union that strong where they still support this guy? He has a proven record of being bad for the game in every way. Cut this fucking guy loose, pay him whatever you gotta do to get him out of here.
