Angel Hernandez
- Thread starter pseudonym
- Start date
Probably “missed the call” about extending his contract
Will consult as sec replay official.
ABOUT DAMN TIME. Everyone knows the only reason he kept his job is because of the Union
Don't even joke. This wouldn't surprise me at all.
Sad day. He’s one of the few guys that brought integrity to the sport. No one could call a game the way he did. He will be missed.
Great, now the number of active MLB officials whose names I know is 0.
That’s a good thing.
Hunter Wendelstedt is still around. You might remember his father in the bigs for many years.
I fully expect him to be the next SEC supervisor of officials.
Dammit. I had no idea he retired. Baseball is officially lost. The inmates are running the asylum.
He's been stealing money for his entire career. I guess now he can start stealing his pension.
I used to know the name of the guy that ruined the no-hitter with the missed call at first. No idea if he's still active, though.
ETA: I used to know something I forgot. "Broadcasting school is really paying off."

Joe West was around forever. He was in The Naked Gun for chrissakes.
Jim Joyce, and he owned how bad the call was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Joyce
That is awesome. I love hearing the open mics on those arguments between umps and coaches, because when you're watching it live and can't hear it looks like they hate each other and cussing each other out. Then when you hear it, it's "You know my *** in in a jackpot here, Terry" LOL
This is from a profile The Athletic ran last week on Hernandez trying to convince readers that he gets a bad rap. “He’s actually only bottom third” is damning with faint praise.
It is clear that he decides what he is going to call a ball/strike before the pitch is thrown.
Sorry the ole type writer does not exactly hook up to the internet well to upload a podcast
What amazes me is how clueless some officials are to how bad they are. You can see the elite athletes that dedicate hours and hours of training and practice to be elite. Then you have officials that are proven by video reviews to be awful and score low in how many calls they get right. The very opposite of elite among their peers. How can you have them determining the success of these athletes and billion dollar franchises. It's absurd.
Reports are coming out that Angel Hernandez's retirement came out from a meeting with top MLB officials. Officials were questioning Hernandez's ability to see and comprehend correctly.
Angel got so worked up that he stormed out and slammed the door behind himself...
It took Angel 10 minutes to realize he had walked into a closet...
His announcement of retirement came soon after.

Well, its obvious to anyone who has watched a ballgame umped by bungle hernandez that Dylan Yep is terrible at analyzing umpires if he thinks that there are 20-30 umpires worse than hernandez on the planet, much less in MLB.
