are never a nightly affair, and in every game played, there is always at least one side that criticizes the home plate

umpire

, if not both dugouts. The idea of ​​robot referees has been in play for a few years. and the more we see current refs mess up calls the way they do, it looks more and more like robot refs may be a reality, but until then we have to continue suffering through people like angel hernández who most of

baseball

fans are unfamiliar. With the names of the referees, if there really are any, the popularity is exactly the opposite of that of the players in the sense that the

worst

ones are noticed more, while the good ones are never heard of.

Ángel Hernández is easily one of the most well-known

umpire

Angel has a lot of accolades as a vampire throughout his career. He refereed in the World Series in 2002 and 2005, as well as the All-Star Game in 1999, 2009 and 2017. He has officiated in seven leagues. 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. Hernández also worked in the seventh game of the 2008 LCS as an injury substitute for the daryl cousins ​​in 2006 and 2011 Hernández was listed as the third worst baseball umpire in the sport illustrated bull player a 2010 espn poll showed that 22 percent of major league baseball players questioned identified hernández as the worst umpire in the Major League Angel has also had its fair share of incidents involving player managers and coaches.

On May 8, 2013, Hernandez and two other referees ruled a long hit by athlete Adam Rosales a double following a video review, although the ball clearly hit a railing over the top of the wall. Oakland manager Bob Melvin argued the decision and Hernandez was ejected. of game one in which the A's lost 4-3 in Major League Baseball later admitted that the hit should have been called a home run but said it was too late to overturn it. Several referees argue that the replay system was not clear enough. images and the system was later changed in August 2017, Detroit Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler was fined ten thousand dollars by Major League Baseball for critical comments he made about Ángel Hernández.

Kinsler had said Hernandez was a bad referee and, quote, he needs to find another job. then you have October 8, 2018, when Hernández was the first base empire 4, game 3 of the 2018 alds between the Yankees and the Red Sox, four of every five plays he called at first base that were sent for video review were overturned as a Hall of Fame pitcher. and his current tbs analyst pedro martinez said after the game that angel was horrible, don't make me go on about angel, now major league baseball needs to do something about angel, no matter how many times he sues the wizard league , it's as bad as there.

Did pitcher cc Sabathia also chime in by saying this? I need to say this, although I don't think the old Hernandez should be on top in playoff games. It's absolutely terrible. He's terrible behind the plate today. He's terrible at first base. It's amazing how he's getting the job to pitch, play these to umpire and he's in these playoff games, it's just a conversation to us but he shouldn't be anywhere near a playoff game, that sentiment is shared by many of You, everyone, everyone, I think you are going to ask. them too on the other side cece was his strike zone tonight it's always yes it's always bad i don't understand why he's doing these games hernández declined to comment after the game a landslide victory for the red sox but major league baseball issued a statement through a spokesperson and I quote: There were several very close situations at first base tonight and we are glad that the instant replay allowed the umpire and the team to achieve the proper result in all of them, which sounds like a angel defense eliminated by mlb.

Hernandez from the interim crew chief position after accusing him of spying on an MLB investigative call in July 2019. Hernandez did not hang up the phone when his interview ended and instead continued to listen to subsequent questioning from another referee who knew that 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 passed over for world series games and the promotions to team leader almost a week after filing the lawsuit. to the 2017 All-Star Game and selected as first base umpire for the 2017 and later 2018 American League Division Series In March 2021, U.S.

District Judge J. Paul Odkin granted summary judgment in favor of MLB writing in quotes the court concludes that a reasonable jury could not find that the explanation given by the mlb is a pretext or a discriminatory motive and the evidence shows beyond a genuine doubt that a referee's leadership and handling of the situation prevailed in MLB's promotion decisions MLB's response in legal filings to Hernandez's lawsuit includes Hernandez's failure to conduct himself as a team or work leader in the World Series In addition to the delay raised by the Red Sox, MLB also listed other incidents in response to Hernandez, including violating league rules when he asked Homer Baily to autograph 11 baseballs for him after a no-hitter in 2012, and three of his calls were canceled for a pickup during the first four innings of a 2018 Yankees Red Sox playoff game and most recently in May 2021, Hernandez literally admitted that he basically guessed and that's a real quote about a crucial play during the Royals Indians game saying that the scoreboard on the outfield walls of kaufman stadium got in the way of him seeing what happened on a play where the ball hit the dirt indians manager terry francona the manager of the team that actually benefited from the bad call criticized to Hernández for the play saying he asked Hernández himself, in quotes, why does this always happen when you are here?

Hernandez is the perfect example of someone who has a huge ego and when he gets called out on his bs he plays the victim card, it's maddening to see why he is still employed by major league baseball your guess is as good as mine, legitimately no makes no sense, he's terrible at his job and impacts games in such a negative way, players hate him, managers and coaches hate him, fans hate him and like I said, he has a huge ego. who hates being challenged, angel hernández is the worst umpire in the
