Is he the same umpire that officiated Game 3 between the Astros and the Yankees in the playoffs this year? That umpire was atrocious! He consistently called about 65 pitches that he ruled as "strikes" against the Astros hitters that he ruled as "balls" against the Yankees hitters! A couple of the pitches that Christian Javier threw were perfect strikes that landed nearly dead in the middle of the strike zone and he ruled them as "balls!" Lucky for the Astros they were clearly the much better hitting and pitching team that night or else they would have lost the game to the Yankees! That umpire tried really hard to cheat for the Yankees that night! He has no business officiating games in any level of baseball, never mind the MLB level!

He seems like an awful human being who happens to be an umpire

😂😂😂

Bad....or rigging the game. There’s definitely something going on behind the scenes with this guy, if he’s constantly calling bad plays when they’re obvious to everyone else. There’s corruption with the MLB and the union that protects him. Just like it’s an open secret that boxers throw their fights at times or prolong the fights because there’s a lot of money behind the scenes exchanging hands, I have no doubt it’s the same with other sports like baseball. No doubt in my mind, Hernandez was intentionally calling bad plays and rigging games. Probably lining his pockets with a piece of that pie too.

@@Cr1ms0nRav3n I suspect MLB knew about the steroids and continued to line their pockets before they got called out on it.

@@stuartholden6163 oh definitely.

Good analogy.

There are bad cops teachers mfg workers that hid behind the union

I think he needs glasses or something. It would be hard to wear them behind the mask though, so he won't say anything. The MLB probably wouldn't let him do that. He could be a 1st or 3rd base umpire though.

Or for going the speed limit

If Angel Hernandez were a cop, he would be very good at using his knee

yep, it’s terrible

He learned that from Joe west

Too true

True.

@@nommchompsky damn, well he’s persistent. I’ll give him that

I wish I was there to witness hearing that ruling from the judge.

He got promoted

Hernandez is terrible, but you're lying with statistics there. He didn't get 80% of his calls wrong. He got 80% OF THE CALLS THAT WERE SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW wrong. He made way more than 5 calls that game. All of the other calls he got right, apparently.

@@puckerings that is true, I'll grant you that. I was thinking in lines of what was reviewed. Even if he gets every other call right, it's still bad. And let's face it, if he got 4 out of 5 wrong that they did review, gotta wonder how many others he has blown. But you are right, that % was misleading as hell.

His calls are below the Mendoza line

Not if they were union workers.

At least CB Bucknor isn't an arrogant tool like Angel Hernandez

You nailed it. Those are the worst umpires by far.

I agree, but since it is a WS game, Eric Gregg should also be out there! He arguably had the worst called game in the history of the playoffs in 1997 behind the plate. I still have nightmares over that one!

@@andyd_9 Yeah that was pretty bad.

Joe West has to be considered.

@@johnpendleton9326 i was gonna say this, there is only one other who can compare to how bad hernandez is and that is joe west. the guy can legit barely stand up after he crouches down anymore and has the only highlight reel of bad calls to match angel.

Joe west isn't bad when making calls, he just has an ego bigger than his neck and it has been a massive problem for a long time, and everyone hates him for it.

Worst part is that him doing that takes away credibility from people who may have actually experienced racism in major league sports.

Play the race card

Not even fired, just not promoted 😂

Isn't it always racism?

Blind people are a race?

Classic God complex?

Eeehh I think there's not enough umpires wanting to deal with peoples bullshit. I'm an umpire I call what I see, don't like it? Hey take whatever steps necessary, they won't fire him because NO ONE WANTS TO UMPIRE. They take what they can get

Bad umpires & worse, bad politicians...

I was at an Orioles game a few years back. An umpire actually ejected a fan from the game. He couldn't handle criticism.

It's the same with the intellectual anointed where policy decision that have disastrous outcomes and where they paid no price for being wrong.

@jeff sadly I have to agree!! SMH

A professional sport that painted BLM on its fields deserves to deal with a lawsuit like that.

@@leonardshevlin7260 I couldn't agree more on that aspect. I was a longtime baseball fan of over 50 years, but after all of the BLM bullshit with players putting BLM flags on Homeplate and then walking off the field and canceling games I finally gave up the game. Baseball was the only sport left that I watched and that I cared for. I stopped watching the NBA in 2002 and the NFL in 2004 so this one really hurt.

Not only is he the worst umpire in baseball history but it's absolutely laughable that he filed a lawsuit based on his "race". Angel Hernandez is WHITE, a White Cuban to be precise. He would have been better off claiming that he was being discriminated against because of his Cuban ethnic background or because he is Latino.

@@Gsmooth10455 My Dad became a fan of college lacrosse late in life. Some sports fans I know revisit events from the past. Whole games (and whole series of games) are available online or on DVD.

pretty sure they have no control over it

Umpires have a union. MLB might want to fire them but is not able to.

They keep him and guys like him around because we will talk about him and make and watch videos about him. He is a marketing tool. Or just a tool in general.

Who watches these overpaid kneelers anyway? Pro sports are DEAD. Quit supporting overpaid shills.

I agree. MLB keeps telling the viewing public that improving the product is their foremost concern. Yet Angel and a few others remain employed and impacting the viewing experience in a negative way.

If Angel was your boss, you'd be given a promotion hahaha

Thats the point....why don't you invite a dozen MLB umpires to watch you do your job and bash you publicly?

He says "I'm number 1. I'm number 1."

Just like cops!

With malignant narcissism, it's always someone else's fault.

@@billyrodriguez1878 the fuck?

@Bipolar Bryan I just turned 55 this Mother’s Day and have had my run ins with police. Being a minority with a good car, I am an emergency medicine physician, I have been stopped just for fishing expeditions. They think that they are masters of the world. Just see what is happening on the news. Power leads to corruption in the long run, just like umpires.

Everyone should agree

its hard not to after watching him ump

its Joe (Tor-ee)

You need to take the video down and re-cut the audio track. You can't spend all that time ripping Hernandez for his errors when you, yourself, screw up like that. Yes, it's that big of a deal.

I’m a bitter Angels fan that still thinks Doug Eddings is the worst.

Right.

100% knew exactly the Ump the clip was going to talk about 😂😂

He'll play the race card every chance he gets.

😂 I feel the same way about these bozos in the MLB organization that continue to use flawed and corrupt human beings to make strike and ball calls when we could be using electronic devices that could call the game a billion times more accurately and fairly! Maybe it's up to the Yankees to decide since the vast majority of the time it's the Yankees that are benefitting the most from these umpires' bad calls!

Hahahahihihilol

That is insulting to Stevie Wonder 😂

🤣

Hey! Stevie Wonder as a blind man is still a better possible bus driver than Hernandez ever was an Umpire! 🤣

30 years of umping experience from Little League to Adult leagues and our Board really has no tolerance for criticism of fellow umpires, but I am sure an exception might be made for Angel 😇.

​@@user-sg6fw7zh3bYou will all be replaced by robots 😊

Have a like mate

Automatic

He's just jealous because he couldn't become a ball player!

That would be actually relatively fair, it wouldn’t be putting them out of work, therefore not triggering the umpire Union and the major leagues get rid of the incompetent guys

If that was the case, Angel Hernandez would be umpiring a T-ball game.

@@NJGuy1973 And even that, badly!

Oh! NO! NO! NO! I don't want him umping my 5 year old grandson's T-Ball games! He would even terrible selling shoes. May he need to shovel $hit at the local stock yards 18 hours a day.

You just described my ex-wife 😂

Just like an offensive lineman in the NFL. If you never hear his name, he played a good game.

Greg Bibson is an exception 😎

RIGHT!!! We are supposed to show up and the only thing the managers know about us is we did the pregame meeting at home plate.

@@chrism.1749 Joe Thomas the other one.

Same with hockey referees.

Yea what’s up with that ?

Thank god it wasn’t just me. You’re making a video about baseball and you don’t know how to pronounce Joe Torre? Oy vey!

Put some respect on his name. Com on man

@Kevin L Not one mistake, the same mistake multiple times in the same video. Torre is a HOFer and has been an extremely well recognized figure in baseball for years. You lose credibility when you make an egregious error like that, especially in a video where you're killing an umpire for making errors.

@@kaimaynor2007 YOU lose credibility when you make decisions on whether or not someone is credible based on a pronunciation error. These things happen in video production. Things slip by. There's even a pin. "Egregious". Fucking drama queen. No seriously if you're the type of person to get mad when your name is mispronounced, you're a worthless diva.

Discrimination lawsuit.

WRONG..HIS LATINO BACKGROUND

They should bring up a couple Alfonso Marquez' and get rid of Angel

One word QUOTA!

No doubt about it.

That's why I'm not into basketball. The refs have way too much subjective control over the game.

It seems to be overly complicated to find the Umpire schedule, but I only ever seek it to find out if Angel is umping in a game for my team.

What's his annual salary in bribe money?

That's so racist

@@guitarhero6584 no such thing. There has been nothing racist here.

Joe West is Angel’s hero

Joe West is Angel Hernandez with even more arrogance.

@@brucesmith9144 And a huge belly

Joe West was his mentor.

CB Buknor

I don't watch baseball at all. I know two names currently involved in baseball, Joe West and Angel Hernandez. Not for good reasons.

As a Giants fan I learned about Joe West. He obviously hated MadBum. He didn’t even try to hide it.

Worst five umps: Angel Hernandez Joe West CB Bucknor Laz Diaz Alfonso Marquez

Why would you put that nightmare in someone’s head.........

omg...

And Joe west on first yikes

Don't understand the hate for buck. I think he's just fine

I’ve seen that game…

Cow Boy Joe West must had got mugged at 13th and Market Street in Philly because he hated The Phillies!

But at least he's retired and can do no more harm.

Don't forget that he's also really fat

Oh YES!!! West Was A Whole Shit Box Of Confusion To Me!!!

Strangely as bad as Joe West was, over the past decade Angel has managed to be at least twice as bad. West has generally serviceable with a really bad game here and there. Angel hasn't had a game that wasn't bad in years.

Should have put them in a crew together just so they could eject each other.

I think Joe West needs an honorable mention, at least.

@@FHL-Devils iconic response. Had me dying

And Joe Buck's World Series commentating

Joe West was once a decent NL Umpire in his early days. Oh well...

I think Gregg had money on that game. Those balls were ,18 inches off the plate.

That may be true .... Buuuuuuuut I clearly remember Braves catchers setting up a couple inches off the plate and out of the strike zone in the early to mid 90's and whenever Tom Glavine or Avery hit the mitt in that spot it was called a strike - It wasn't. The overhead shots clearly showed the ball an inch or more off the plate when it passed by.

That statement takes balls!!! Maddux didn't throw a legit strike for a decade!!!

Add Bob Davidson

Eric had that terrible game, it was like he was having a seizure or something, it was horrific, but the guy really was a good umpire, especially on the bases, he had some tough games behind the plate but he was a solid ump, Charlie Williams however was another terrible ump.

I think that’s the worst insult an umpire could ever hear

I wouldn't be surprised if Vladimir Putin heard of him.

Get rid of Joe West and Jerry Crawford, too. Keep Jim Joyce.

Don’t forget about CB Buckner, I think he is worse than Joe West and that is pretty bad

Bucknor , sorry for the spelling error but he umps worse than I spell

Sad thing is, West used to be a good umpire....Hernandez( and Bucknor) have ALWAYS been worthless

Joe West ejected Mr. Padre!!! Tony Gwynn, terrible umpire.

a few months the local jail is not so bad, as all the other inmates will treat you like a hero,. And if you take your fingers and jamb them deep in his eyes, he will not have his job, and maybe then he would realize what an ass he is.

Depends on how hard they hit him though… 😉

IAN Kinsler would've been a good candidate for doing just that, especially with the bat in his hand!!

I will personally pay that player’s bail. Whoever it is.

Excellent point

He'd be in jail

Well glad they deal with games like Hernandez does.

I see dead people.

I would have the same response as Michael Scott did when he saw Toby back at Dunder-Mifflin. "God please no....no....nooooooo!!!!!!"

And while your average Major League player can absorb a $10000 fine no problem, it still seems disproportionate for merely expressing an honest analysis of an umpire's performance.

He's a pitcher's nightmare for sure but he's also a hitter's nightmare. The one consistent component of Senor Hernandez's game is his everpresent inconsistencies. He is a very shameful black eye on the MLB umpire's union.

Indonesian soccer referees--one of the lousiest in the sports industry-- have had better decisions than Hernandez for the last six years. Literally down horrendous.
