The MLB needs to introduce a rule where the lowest ranked umpires are sent down to the minors.

@rubenperez1404

I hope baseball could place an earpiece on the Umpire ear like the pitcher, where it will buzz in a strike in the strike zone, right after they make a called ball or strike. This way when they miss the call they will recognize the strike zone better and become a better umpire. So they improve to at least 96% correct calls. Also it makes either the pitcher or batter change their game and either swing at pitches that are normally balls or frustrate pitchers. They need to be a major league umpiring better and not frustrating fans.

What a crock of shit!

I'm pretty sure Angel is just trolling baseball at this point. He's making a mockery of the game because he doesn't get along with the umpire's association. They won't give him good assignments because he sucks so he is showing them, "Oh you think I'm bad? I'll show you bad!"

I remember a game years ago where Angel was umpiring at first base and had THREE calls overturned by replay. He is terrible in all aspects of the job.

Here's the bit I don't get. Angel sucks behind the plate, we all know this. There has to be a reason they keep shoving him out there to do it...but MLB won't say what it is. My theory is they keep shoving him out there to do it to get enough people onside to bring in the robo calls they're doing in AAA. So MLB can say, without naming people, "Hey we're bringing this in to get rid of bad calls. 50:50 calls on the edge of the plate are always gonna be tricky, but a ball six inches off the plate called a strike can be challenged so we get the right call" Everyone knows they're talking about guys like Angel and CB but they won't say it is them so they can't get sued.

How can anyone like him have a job umpiring? I mean, if I thoroughly sucked that bad at my job, I'd be fired without recourse. How can an umpire be this invincible? We now have the data to back up how bad he really is with sites like Umpires Scorecard using statcast data.

It destroys the integrity of the game.

Angel is obviously pushing the envelope intentionally.

The Harper check that Angel called a swing 🤦‍♂️

Barring Angel Hernandez from baseball should have been the first item agreed to in the CBA

Hernandez should have been fired years ago. The guy is a fucking joke.

If you exploit umpires as hard as they do before they make it to the majors, the union has to fight all the harder to keep their members there once they do. That's why they can't fire Angel. The only way to solve this is to make minor league umpiring (much like minor league playing) a liveable experience, and negotiate performance based demotion to the minors.

The fact that Angel used to be under Joe West tells us A LOT. They're on the field to be in charge and to be right, not to get the call right,

I’m convinced he’s this bad on purpose and thrives off the heat he gets. He loves being the center of attention and he’s gonna make sure he’s just that every game he umps

what about teams refusing to play if hes an umping?

I spent nearly 30 years umpiring high school and college level baseball and Angel is embarrassing

Angel Hernandez and Joe West were the 1 2 combo of Bad umpires

The Gleyber Torres call was probably the worst thing I've ever seen from an umpire.

They should have years ago when he started and proved he had no idea what he was doing behind the plate, and was a hothead besides.

He will someday call a players homerun was nothing but a strike.

Teams will have to agree not to play if he is working.

What would happen if both teams agreed to boycott a game that had Angel scheduled to ump?

Teams should refuse to take the field when he is a part of the crew

Keep him, but he needs to legally change his name to Diablo Satanez.

the home plate ump in the mariners reds game yesterday made a call just as bad on Ty France. At least 3 balls outside.

Counterpoint: any news is good news - MLB needs villains, Angel Hernandez is the guy we all love to hate and he gets MLB trending. He's terrible, universally hated... and that's exactly why we need him.

Yeah he's needed to go for awhile

I’m no special pleader for Angel, but in an equal way, about we talk about how bad the catching is these days? When I worked, catching was an art form. A good catcher would present pitches well and it made it easier for the umpire to call the game. Nowadays, nearly every pitch is pulled, and some are pulled 6-10 inches. That should not be rewarded but rather punished. When a catcher pulled a pitch that badly on me, and he’d ask me where did you have it? I’d respond, I don’t know, where did you have it? You must have thought it was a ball. Stop pulling the pitch and I’ll give it to you. My how this game has changed over the years. Greg Maddux would not be a hall of famer in today’s game

The "rigging" idea is sound. I am old enough to remember the Brinkman crew making their personal religious purpose in life too constantly f*** over the Toronto Blue Jays. They got away with it for a long while, but eventually the press coverage of it moved outside of Toronto and it became so well-known that they hsd to tone it down enough to be decent.

This is proof of a few things, one of them is that unions aren't always good. His union is the only reason he has a job. I worked with more than a few Teamsters who were protected by the union.

It just wasn’t being called against the rangers, it was against both teams. Atrocious

Nope, they should fire him and see what happens in court when he sues. He's already lost twice in his lawsuits vs MLB, go for 3 for 3.

F the MLB. Let's just crowd fund this thing. Plenty of former players would chip in to get him gone.

all umpires should have been removed the moment hi-def video cameras were invented. like literally around 2004. baseball is now 20 years behind.

i remember that game aj is talking about, i was so pissed, like these umps go out of their way to screw players

Angel is the most famous umpire in baseball.

If umps went back to chest protectors, they would call outside pitches correctly...but Angel thinks he's bulletproof by his " racist" suit against MLB. He is incompetent and should be fired

Fire Angel, hire Trevor.

Yes. Offer him triple the salary to get off the field. Make him a consultant that consults about nothing.

Not just baseball, other sport too. This is one of the reason I don’t bet any professional sports.

Fast way to get rid of him is for both teams to refuse to take the field if he is behind the plate. MiLB would fire him so fast.

Wait. I got it. AJ didn’t read about or listen to the relevant facts but boy he sure do got opinions.

If I sucked that bad in my job as Angel Hernandez is, I deserve to be let go. For what he's being paid, he needs to be let go for how horrible he is.

Theres no reason that mlb cant act as theres ability to send him down for retraining. He can accept it or retire.

That was the strike zone back in the 90's. Just ask Maddux.

maybe he needs to be investigated for "Point Shaving"... he might be dirty... then punish him with Rose...

6.2 inches off the plate???? Guy needs to go. Fired for cause. Incompetent. On the record. He is indeed a drama Queen. An incompetent drama Queen.

I will start a GoFundMe for MLB to pay Angel to go away. I’m sure most MLB fans around the country would gladly pitch in

mlb should pay fans who put up with this POS

ABSOLUTLY NOT! MLB needs to fire him for cause. Do not pay him a dime for being the worst umpire in baseball history. MLB has been gutless for way to long and it's time to make this worthless employee pay the price just like any other employee in any other job. After that, move to have the union decertified and start fresh.

I think it’s a matter of loving the power for Angel. He doesn’t want to leave. He loves it too much. Everyone has a price however

A.J. makes every single topic about his own career.

Mlb should have a rotational structure where all umpires rotate to minors and be evaluated. They all stay far too long and get way too comfortable.

At the VERY least implement the Ball/Strike Challenge they've been playing with. This level of incompetence needs to have some course of redress!

Never going to happen. The umpires union won’t permit it.

Someone doesn't understand how unions work.

Angel’s a legend! Lmao

Whatever it takes. He needs to go.

Look, everyone has been stuck with a really bad teacher at some point. Or some terrible boss whose only skill is pleasing his direct supervisor? This is a good storyline for MLB, I’m enjoying it.

from the games Ive watched this year, they ALL need to go. abysmal strike zone for all of them.

Buddy buys his shirts in the kid section

They should make him go away, without any pay.

As sad as it sounds Angel won’t be fired because he’s protected by the union; and ironically enough, he adds a comedic relief, which gives the MLB more money.

This video title is the question I've been asking for a year, basically since the Schwarber game nearly two years ago... I'm waiting for the day when an Angel bad call goes in favor of a player and that player still calls Angel out for making a bad call...
