Boycott all games Angel umpires till he's fired. Money Talks then BS walks.

It would work. Money always talks

Any time my wife sees a baseball game with a bad call she asks if it’s Angel Hernandez pitching. It’s one of the few things she knows about MLB

That is an amazing anecdote. The guy has quite the rep.

MLB can fix this and really needs to.

Even after the catcher frames the last pitch it is still a ball. Angel is bad for the game.

If you look at the reply, the ball hits the corner of the plate then tails away please keep in mind you are seeing this in 2D not 3D. He is a bad umpire but not for those calls.

Im getting a lot of mixed comments on these calls. You aren't the first person to argue these are strikes or much closer than they appear.

we all know the strike zone is 3 dimensional right? it isnt a square/rectangle sitting at either the front or the back of the plate. Lots of these "bad" calls are wicked breaking balls that nip the front part of the plate and by the time the catcher receives the ball about 2 feet further back are a couple 2-4 inches off the "square" plate.

Biden and Hernandez forever

Angel Hernandez is calling the balls, strikes because the catcher is framing them into the strike zone. Simple.

If he's being fooled that badly by a clever catcher, he doesn't belong behind the plate of an MLB game

OK. The last one was terrble but the first two are called by lots of umps.

Guys like you, who know nothing about baseball, crack me up. The strike zone is a 3-D rectangle. All a pitch has to do is hit any part of that rectangle to be called a strike. It has no bearing on where the ball is caught. All three of those pitches caught the front edge of the strike zone. Masterful pitching, horrible take.

Statcast calls the last pitch THE WORST CALLED STRIKE IN YEARS

before i read all the comments I made my own that is the same as this one. I agree with what you said and I am amazed that i haven't heard a commentator discuss this. There are plenty of bad calls in the game and with technology we could have a drone sitting right above the plate to actually see if the ball nips the plate and know who the bad umps are and replace them or drastically change how the game is called

The stat cast virtual strike zone is displaying the pitch when it reaches the front of the rectangle, these would all be called balls by the computer.

Its obvious the ball is showing up where the catcher catches the ball in this video. Are you referring to the other view ? Certainly this isn’t the statcast view you are referencing
