In the Red Sox-Yankees ALDS game last night, Angel Hernandez had 3 calls reversed by instant replay.
Hernandez is the home plate umpire in game 4 tonight.

I have seen him call some horrible calls over the years.

Behind the plate?
This should be fun.
Any play that was even close to close got reviewed last night, and most often got overturned.
Not that it mattered. My Yankees got blown out. Ugly game.

He has always been a horrible umpire. I cringe that he’s calling balls and strikes tonight. He sucks.

Hoping for tonight to end better. That was awful, yes.

It’s really great the way he calls people out and safe. Great gestures. Very emphatic and dramatic.
Unfortunately, the calls have nothing to do with what actually happened on the field.

Angel Hernandez vs Laz Diaz for the heavy weight championship of prima donna umpiring would be an awesome battle.

Baseball has had Hispanic umpires for a long time.
His suit is bunk.

You have a hopelessly retro perspective. It’s the socially constructed narrative that counts, not some non-existent “objective reality.”

Really bad at what he does combined with a huge chip on his shoulder...what a combo.
To: DFG
Cripes...he had to get this in there:
MLB’s lack of minority umpires is a problem, one that dovetails with its overly white ownership groups and front offices.
They can't get blacks to play baseball anymore.
Players:
2016 - 63% white;
6,7% ( same as 1956 ) blacks;
27.4% Latinos
Altogether there are 68 umpires in the Majors, and 225 in the minor leagues.
openings are rare.
can't force people to become umpires.

I still hate instant replay. Could you imagine this joker botching a game like this between the Yankees and Orioles when Billy Martin and Earl Weaver were managing? I miss baseball of yesteryear.

Might want to check his gambling history.

this isn’t a newsflash for anyone that knows their baseball. the triumvirate of umpire suckage is cb bucknor, joe west, and angel hernandez.
To: DFG
I saw an abundance of blown calls this year. No idea why, it isnt rocket science. And the addition of an electronic strike zone on TV has exposed the unreliability of calling balls and strikes the old fashioned way.

Any relation to Don Denkinger?
Perhaps Don only had that one call between St. Louis and Kansas City that I remember, But it was a doozy.

I don’t think black Latinos are counted as ‘black’. Don’t know why. It is true that black Americans seem to have lost interest in the game.
