If the NL Central is the worst division in baseball, how is it possible that they only have 1 team under 500 and might have 3 teams make the playoffs?

Yes it is.

He really needs to be fired.

Hate to tell ya this "Amigo", but that is sort of the essence of how life works.

Holy shit this guy sucks.

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Fucking guy couldn't even get out the first inning of his first spring game behind the plate without blowing a call


The more I see of this guy, its not his fault. He's just a bad umpire. There are bad pitchers, hitters, and fielders across the game as well. The difference is that when you are a bad player, you're generally sent down or shipped out. The fact that MLB keeps Angel employed as an umpire makes them at fault more than anything.

Those are some horrible calls.....

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Does he not see them for whatever reason and just guesses hoping he'll be right?

"Our goal was to get the play right, and that’s exactly what we did," [ ] We talk about this. Replay is an extension of what we do out there. As you saw, I got basically blinded by the outfield scoreboard. The pixels on the lights were as clear as white can be. I was trying to make out what happened out there. The harder I looked, the less I could see. So I was trying to read the players to see what they did with the ball. And I had to come out with the call. I basically guessed on the wrong call. So as soon as I turned around, (home plate umpire) Edwin (Moscoso) started walking towards me. We got the crew together. And we fixed the problem."

With the flyball, thats exactly what he did.

I'm a lowly IHSA umpire, but a simple rule they tell you in any sport is don't call what you don't see. I don't have TV cameras and (usually) 30k fans there watching my calls, but if that's a play you don't see for some reason, you'd just make yourself small and go by how all the players are reacting and hope nobody questions it. Maybe because you're Angel Hernandez and you suck someone will tweet a video showing you didn't make the call when you were supposed to, but that's better than a whole video showing how you blew an easy call.

Pretty sure in a 4 man crew with runners on 1st and 2nd any outfield fly to the right of 2nd base is U1’s call. Other umps should be listening/watching for tag ups/obstruction.

Angel is always #2

Yeah, if he was U2 he would have found a way to call the runner at 2nd out for leaving early even though there was no catch.

He certainly would have been stuck in a moment you can't get out of.
