Ozuna striking out without seeing a SINGLE strike is mind-boggling

Umpires need to be held accountable and made to address the media

Can’t have a ‘worst calls’ compilation without Angel Hernandez

When batters know the strike zone better than the umpires.

Ozuna striking out without seeing a strike is disgustingly hilarious

We do need computer umpires now. The demonstration in game with Jasson Dominguez was a perfect thing to have in high level games and not just triple a

imagine being that bad at your job and being able to eject the guys pointing out what a terrible job you're doing.

You know it’s a bad call when the ball is both low AND outside.

3:09 this Ozuna AB is insane! 3 clear balls all called strikes, just awful!

Respect to Peña for just walking away

Castellanos definitely had the funniest reaction lmfao

I mean to be fair some of these were framed VERY well. But some are inexcusable.

Bro Schwarber literally looks like George Costanza freakin out about something 😂

Scherzer sequence at 6:25 is fucking hilarious

That Jays vs Sox game was a Doug Eddings legacy game, absolutely brutal

It's embarrassing how confident some umpires are in their incompetence. You would think they would watch tape of their mistakes and get better. I understand that it is very difficult to determine exactly where a ball is when it's travelling so fast...but some of these umps need to improve. I can see an inch or two off the plate...but some of these are missing by 6 inches or more.

They should show the Umps where the pitch was on the big screen and make them apologize after a terrible call

3:33 oh hell nah even the catcher was shocked

Alternate title: Angel Hernandez’s Greatest hits

This video deserves more views. It’s really well put together. ❤

This is why robot umps are on back order!

That call Strikeout call to Contreras at 1:29 doesn’t even look bad anymore when compared to the few that came before it in the compilation, and that’s saying something

Nobody expects a home plate umpire to be perfect every game, but these misses are absolutely brutal. Makes you wonder how the players manage to hold their tongues so often. If a wired court is good enough for tennis, then why won’t baseball go to a wired plate so that the strike zone is not only consistent, but totally accurate. The human element be damned…

the funniest thing is to see the catcher going to throw to the pitcher back then change to 3rd baseman

Little League Umps: "Wait those are supposed to be called balls?"

Wade Boggs would have struck out 250 times a season, if umps called pitches like that back then.

1:50 Respect to Jeremy Pena, he didn't argue at all.

These umpires need to be publicly shamed into explaining how these calls keep happening, whether it is incompetence or malice.

I would not be able to hold me cool. When you’ve worked so hard to get to this point and you’re trying to win your city a world series… this is unacceptable

Angel wonders why he doesn’t ump in the playoffs

I've seen a lot worse. A couple of observations: If they put in automated umpires, we will find the strike zone is in reality very small, and pitchers will have to adjust their delivery, assuming the computers are programmed according to the rulebook. The high strike zone will be much more honored, and pitchers will pitch higher, which will make strikeout pitchers more dominant. Without the soft inside and outside pitches being called strikes, though, I think scoring will go up. As for now, they know who the good home-plate umpires are. They have the statistics. The best solution is to identify the best and have them assigned as permanent home-plate umpires, whatever crew they are on. Of course the union won't let that happen, is my guess.

How does Angel Hernandez still have a job?

And I'm pirate ejecting someone before the home plate meeting is impossible. The umpire literally does not have control of the game until the home plate meeting. You could literally talk as much s*** as you want to an umpire all the way up until that point, but until then the umpire has no power whatsoever over the game. It's kind of surprising how MLB umpires don't even know the rule book.

Ah yes, another Angel Hernandez montage

1:55 was a beautiful frame job

The Ozuna strikeout without a single strike was the funniest one to me. In part because I’m a Braves fan that lost all sympathy for him.

Wow, these are baffling. Imagine being one of these umpires and being shown this. I umpired college ball and never had a bad call like these. I feel sorry for them.

that ozuna strike out is crazy

We need a worst calls by Angel Hernandez in 2022 soon.

It’s so funny to me that sometimes the ball is so outside that the Cather will frame it and it’ll still be outside the box

they have to bring in the automated strike zone and make it so umpires are not immune to discipline and heavy fines for terrible calls no matter what they are! like A.J pierzinski said to an ump..'do you have any balls in that bag that you can see"?

What we need are glasses that you put on and it’ll show an animated strike zone. We also should get about 3 strike call challenges.

I saw Angel immediately and said "Yeah that tracks."

The fact that the MLB isnt doing anything about this really aggravates me. These calls are absolutely wrong and nothing happens. The home plate umpire in game 2 of the WS just called a perfect 100% accurate game. IT CAN BE DONE AND SHOULD BE THE STANDARD.

Okay people. The little white box that appears on the screen is not always an accurate representation of the strike zone, neither on the corners nor at the top and bottom. Additionally, the dot that appears is not an accurate representation of where the ball crossed the plate, which is critical in determining pitches on the corners. These graphics are creations of the TV networks. If the technology were that good it would be used in place of human umpires.

I’m old school. I love the human element that permeates the game of baseball….or at least used to. MLB was much more enjoyable years ago.

Specialized glasses with strike zone frames on them may be a serious need for some visually impaired umps

Suggestion: Could you also do worst Ball calls?

part of this problem is umpires follow the wrong thing and that is the catchers glove and not the ball if and when it cross the strike zone

We need robots and lasers asap.

I understand that some of it is catchers framing the pitch but I still believe we need the computer umps behind the plate

It might be time to get rid of home plate officials and replace them with something else. 😂 Like seriously. Do they get their paychecks reduced with these bad calls?

When this guy only had 200 subs I new he would get 1k very soon

It’s the way the umpires act afterwards that makes you think it’s all rigged

1:54 framing job is amazing

i love the channel name

This current World Series & post season has been like this

Even as a Marlins fan some of those calls were really bad for our opponents like how can you call some of those pitches strikes when the ball is clearly like full seven to nine inches off the plate doesn't even make sense at all.

Credit to the catchers with framing on some of those pitches, the ump’s can’t see what we see, but some of those are absolutely egregious. Especially the ones in the bottom of the ninth with RISP, straight up blowing games. Absolute joke. Can’t wait for robo umps and challenges on strike calls to put these clowns in their place.

3:33 we need all arguments to be mic'd from here on out

If the home plate umpire calls a pitch a strike you need to accept it and move on

I would love to see the percentage of times a player is thrown out because of a blown call as opposed to a correct call.

Great vid but missed all the strikes called on Judge below his knees

Haders face on the schwarber pitch says it all

If they're not going to use technology to get calls rights, change the pay structure for umpires... Pay them $1000 a game minus $100 for every pitch they call incorrectly

Umpires themselves are making the case to go to some sort of automation calls behind the plate. I believe they are still needed on the field but home plate? Not really. Plays at the plate can easily be settled by replays.

If you fine the umpires for every bad call trust me they'll get better real quick.

Two things in MLB now. ZERO accountability for MONEY and ZERO accountability for awful Umpiring. It's 2023 and it has NEVER been this terrible. Egos are completely out of control and the Puppet Commissioner is absolutely ZERO help. The only recourse is for people to walkout or just not go.

I love how it's mostly against the phillies

I don’t blame Schwarber for getting mad at the beginning

Nothing like a B.S. ejection on top of a B.S. call. Win-win, baby.

"On the outside edge and it was six inches outside."

Angel Hernandez's Greatest Hits

Here after the perfectly called game in the World Series just so I can appreciate it more

its just funny hearing the announcers reaction

Teams should have the right to appeal at least a couple of calls per game. It shouldn't take too long as it is displayed in the virtual strike zone after every pitch.

Should be able to fine ump.s Guarantee they’ll start making better calls if they have a certain number of ball/strike/safe/out calls. I’m think if they miss more then 10 as a ump calling balls and strike and more than 3 calling safe and out they should get fined 3k and additional 1k per incorrect call after the fact.

Problem is, you could have filled up hours upon hours of pitches similar to these on the season. It would be one thing to call a corner strike and then call a pitch just off the corner a strike, but too many times a pitcher can throw the ball in the same location 4 straight times and have the count be 2-2. As a pitcher and a hitter, that makes your job harder. If a guy behind the plate is consistent, you can adjust, even if it is adjusting to balls being called strikes and strikes being called balls. Consistency is the key. But these umps nowadays are nowhere near consistent, other than the idea of being consistently bad.

You make one really bad call in a game, it is fine, people make mistakes. However, some of these umps made horrible call after horrible call and even losing the game for some of the teams.

1:44 I like the dude that just walked away without arguing, alot of these players would just chew people out especially me, I would get so mad that I would throw I bat at the umpire.

There is zero need for a home plate umpire with today’s technology. Especially with all these blunders.

Didn't show a single Julio call lol

those sequences with the jays, at some point, the players just got to get themselves all thrown out as an act of protest against gross incompetence.

I get the whole “dropped third strike” rule where you can run, but what about being able to challenge called third strikes that are clearly balls, I mean if it’s right on the black, dead outer edge of the strike zone that’s one thing be aggressive and choke and poke that ball but if you see as a coach the catcher clearly have to frame the ball 6,7 or even 8 inches or more off the plate it should be a thing where you can be like, “I wanna second opinion from replay”. I know it probably doesn’t make any sense but that’s just my opinion

My questions is why does the home plate umpire even exist? MLB has the technology to replace them and yet still fail to do so.

"The umpayuaah" god damn they need to replace these corpses.

Not the “Ow” at 1:50

God these calls physically hurt me

holy shit that Ozuna at bat was HORRENDOUS

The second one😳😳😳😳

The umpires frequently deemed many pitches as strikes due to their interpretation of how the catcher presented or framed these pitches.

Did anyone else see all the catchers frame

I suggest you SWING at the ball! Haha

Some of these are pretty well framed but some are awful!

In little league, my teammate got hit in the leg, and the umpire called it strike 3, and the manager came out and cussed out the ump, and the ump ejected both my manager, and the manager's son because he was just standing there pissed off because his dad was thrown out so he had to sit on the bench 💀💀💀💀💀

Gabe Morales is the Angel Hernandez of this generation.

when the umpire wants to eject the batter

Without even seeing the first video, I am willing to bet that Angel Hernandez is the umpire in most of these bad calls.

Very easy to tell which games the umpires have bet on. I'm just surprised the justice department hasn't investigated

This videos real name Angel Hernandez being mean to the Phillies for 10 minutes😂
