Philip Heleba don’t know how he sued for racial discrimination tbh he’s white as fuck lmao. he might be from cuba but that’s a nationality not relevant to his race
Too many of these games are essentially predetermined by umps anyways. Some are probably getting paid better than a lot of players I bet (for obvious reasons). Additionally, the prevalence of cheating amongst players (especially pitchers) makes the game difficult to watch to begin with
That stare of 'what are you waiting for aren't you going to call that a strike' on a pitch 2 feet outside was hilarious. I wonder what the strike zone was like in that game.
kinsler knew what he was doing...he said something with it...like.."you gonna call that also"? any respectable official at any level would get rid of someone for that b.s
AARON-CESAR AGUÍLAR I don’t have an issue with him even after the Armando Gallaraga call bc he’s a good umpire and when he makes a bad call, he owns up to it unlike these umpires on my list
Look up Joe West calls. The worst ones are typically in the 9th inning of a close game. It's not like there is an easy explanation for why he would behave that way or anything
problem is the union contract umpires have with mlb...the restructuring and getting rid of NL AND AL presidents has led to the crappy baseball we see today. plus we need a commissioner with no allegiance to any team to take umpires union and players union and tell them this is how its gonna be. you know youre in trouble when you cant fire or disipline because of unions protecting bad people. i dont know how these contracts are negotiated and the right to fire bad people go out the fucking window... theres more to it, but thays a start
I have been watching baseball long enough to have seen Warren Spahn and Stan Musial play. Angel Hernandez is far and away the worst umpire I have ever seen. He is horrendously incompetent.
Mis respetos para Ángel Hernández, no hay árbitro más mencionado dé todos los tiempos que Ángel Hernández mis respetos para tú famosísimo árbitro dé las grandes ligas 👍
Lol, the rest of the Mets didn't give Anthony Recker the memo about "we haven't forgotten Angel screwing us out of the playoffs in 1998, and Angel knows it", I guess. OTOH, it's good to see he finally learned the rule about how you have to TRY to avoid a pitch. (In the famous 1998 "I've got a plane to catch" game, Angel gives Eddie Perez 1st base when Eddie leans INTO one. Calling Michael Tucker safe at home when Piazza was practically bored from how long he was waiting with the ball was the punchline, but the bogus HPB was the set up.)
This video is 4 years old (as of this posting) and he’s STILL in the Majors. Why is MLB and the umpires union looking the other way while this incompetent fool embarrasses the game? I thought umpires had a rating system to keep them on their toes. One of these days, somebody’s going to knock Hernandez on his ass for the way he smirks after ejecting somebody.
Angel Hernandez is not just a horrible umpire for an umpire. He's a bad umpire for a human being. He's the worst umpire in the universe. That's quite an accomplishment there, Angel. But I'm sure that you'll be able to live up to it.
Saw a game a few years ago Joe West, Angel Hernandez, and CB Buckner were on a crew together. Both managers and three players were ejected. Anyone surprised by that?
Correct and Gonzalez once again shows he is an idiot for arguing this absolutely correct call. Also note that in the first clip the call of strike is also correct. Watch the side view and you can see the pitch is in the zone at the bottom of the knee, yet the idiot announcers, who have no clue to the strike zone start crying. All they see is where the catcher catches it. The balk call at the 2:00 minute mark was also correct. We don't get a look at why the balk was called on the last clip, so there is some doubt there. Steve Stone would not know a balk if it came up and bit him in the ass. We know it's popular to bash Hernandez, and he deserves some of it but apparently "Sporting Videos" really doesn't know baseball.
I think he blew a call against Derek Jeter at the very last game at the old Yankee Stadium with the bases left loaded at the bottom of the 6th but nobody got thrown out
You know I was an umpire for 25 years from LL to high school to junior college and I could call a better game than Ange Hernandez. I also believe that a lot of guys in my umpire association could. The managers need to start protesting Angel and start to bring their players into the clubhouse and refusing to play until they replace Angel Hernandez they will lose some games but the league and the Umpires association will get the message.
According to Wikipedia, in 1999, (eight years after he began his career) Angel Hernández was ranked 31st out of 36 umpires in a Major League Baseball Association survey. The following year, 13 umpires were fired; but not Hernández. In 2006 and 2011 he was listed as the third worst umpire by a SI player survey. Sidelined with a back injury one game into the 2023 season, Hernández worked only 10 games and MISSED 161 calls and finished the season as the lowest rated umpire. 2024 has gotten off to an even more dismal umpiring performance. Thanks Wikipedia! His career-long incompetence (making egregiously bad calls and/or ejecting yet another player/manager/coach) is unconscionable; but so is baseballs’ impotence to remove him. Who knows, maybe Hernández is hoping MLB will fire him and he can file another lawsuit!
Literally if the teams just said were not taking the field if he’s here. It’s over. Money rules everything. If the players refuse to go out. Hell b gone
I have to wonder... Hernandez must live in a compound in the middle of nowhere or his neighbors do not watch baseball because there's no other way he would feel safe at home.
Starting to think Angel makes these bad calls just to get a chance to "be the man" and toss people. It's the only thing he cant be overturned by replayl
Worst ump in MLB history. In a sane world (ie: one where unions didn't have so much power), Angel would be working at McDonalds. And there is not doubt he fuck that up too.
The best umpires are the ones you have no idea who they are.
But I know who Jordan Baker is.

Tumpane was a good umpire, with a perfect game once, but he blew some calls in 20/21, and then people lost respect for him.

Also Angel Hernandez: I'm suing.

@@racingfanz4762 hahaha
@Det Nine they are both really bad
He's the worst. He does not care about doing a good job.
When he was a AAA umpire, he threw the a person out in the pressbox when they played three blind mice after he missed a strike call.
Really? Some of these Umps seem to have a terrible conflict of arrogance and insecurity.
No that was a different umpire

He needs to be fired.
MLB doesn't want another lawsuit from Angel.
He'll pull the u guys only fired me cause in Mexican card and sue them thats why he is still here
Sonneborn I know folks with some skin tone all look like Mexicans but this dude is Cuban.
looks like the MLB's got their own Tim Peel problem.
Affirmative action . . .
'Angel Hernandez...saw something else' might as well be the title of his autobiography
Getting ejected by Angel Hernandez is like getting a detention from the drunk teacher
Pitcher: throws the ball in the dirt
Ángel: strike three, also you are ejected
Pitcher: *throws ball behind batter for intentional walk*
Angel: STRIKE THREE!
You know your doing something wrong when buster Posey is arguing with you
How this man still has a job blows my mind
Still a mystery to me.
Umpire union.
MLB umpires’ boss probably is a blind or lazy guy that lets his employees do whatever they want to called.
Why doesn't Joe Torre option Hernandez to the minors and call up a promising young triple-A umpire? Makes sense to me.
baseballdude13000 I’m guessing cause a few years ago Hernandez sues the MLB for discrimination and I think it would have to do with rhat
Because Aaron Boone or Brett Gardner will have an issue
Aaron Walker shut up
Philip Heleba don’t know how he sued for racial discrimination tbh he’s white as fuck lmao. he might be from cuba but that’s a nationality not relevant to his race
He is having race wars with the MLB.
My wife is a very casual viewer of baseball but refuses to watch when Angel is one of the umps.

Watching Angel Hernandez physically hurts me
At least Angel Hernandez hasn’t ejected anyone yet in 2020.
Angel Hernandez is a great umpire
...said no one
Ever...
This is a true "You had me in the first half" moment.
He is a joke, a disgrace to baseball and is ruining the game for players
You know you're bad when there's a compilation video in your name
He is an antagonist for the purpose of entertainment. Blatant.
Angel Hernández: You're out of the game for breathing too fast
Joe west antagonizes but his calls aren't as bad
Ephrim Ko it’s just that hood ego is terrible
Look up Joe West calls. The worst ones are typically in the 9th inning of a close game. It's not like there is an easy explanation for why he would behave that way or anything

Wait shouldn't this be like a mini series with 14 parts.
That's not a mini-series, thats a franchise!
He would save everyone time if he just ejected himself before the game.
I have been watching baseball long enough to have seen Warren Spahn and Stan Musial play. Angel Hernandez is far and away the worst umpire I have ever seen. He is horrendously incompetent.
If he's umpiring, pray for rain.
He is the perfect argument for abolishing unions. No way this man should have had a career that required eyesight, or making judgements.
Umpires are human , but they need to be consistent and show some accountability .
Nobody like Angel Hernandez, Nobody!!!
Mis respetos para Ángel Hernández, no hay árbitro más mencionado dé todos los tiempos que Ángel Hernández mis respetos para tú famosísimo árbitro dé las grandes ligas 👍
Hernandez must have some compromising photos to be able to keep his job! Only a meteorologist can be as wrong as often he is and still keep their job
Diversity hire.
The umpires union must be pretty strong LoL
To be fair, Chris Davis would’ve struck out anyway
the one video everyone has been waiting for
Lol, the rest of the Mets didn't give Anthony Recker the memo about "we haven't forgotten Angel screwing us out of the playoffs in 1998, and Angel knows it", I guess.

I'm amazed that the league has not called and made the umpires association discipline this guy.
Joe West is president of that association, so I doubt it.
He'd sue for racial discrimination.
Again.

I hope Hernandez knows he’s the biggest joke of an umpire
Who else is surprised this vid in not longer
And I am not saying it a bad vid I am saying angel sucks
This is just from one month.
Shit, TH-cam would need extra servers, if they showed all his bullshit calls
Omg for sure
Just because an umpire ejects a lot of people doesn't mean they are bad
Retitle this as Angel Hernandez blowing calls as usual.
Angel Hernandez is like: "I MAKE THE RULES. IF YOU QUESTION ANY OF MY CALLS OR DECISIONS, I WILL KICK YOU OUT!"
Don't forget "If you criticize my performance, you're racist"
How is this video not 6 hours long ?
Trying to stop it before nausea sets in with the viewers.
Angel Hernandez always seems to have a shit eating grin on his face after he throws someone out
Hands down worst ump of all time.
Angel really “LOVED” the White Sox
Angel is freaking hilarious. He knows he's bad but doesn't care. Definitely good for MLB comedy
Angel Hernandez is not just a horrible umpire for an umpire. He's a bad umpire for a human being. He's the worst umpire in the universe. That's quite an accomplishment there, Angel. But I'm sure that you'll be able to live up to it.

Worst umpire ever !!!!!!!
I can't wait til the day Angel rings up Joe West 😂
I swear Angel Hernandez is the biggest joke in the MLB it ticks me off so bad that he still gets to on par games knowing how bad he is😡😡😡
And the crowd just loves angel hernandez like wtf is the matter with people
those umps call so many bad calls to mfs who have weapons in their hands
Angel Hernandez always sees something else. Putz!
Karen of major league umpires! Absolutely hands down the worst umpire I’ve seen in 35 years of watching MLB.
I think he blew a call against Derek Jeter at the very last game at the old Yankee Stadium with the bases left loaded at the bottom of the 6th but nobody got thrown out
The fact that he's still an umpire supports the assertion that MLB management is a bunch of bumbling fools.

Literally if the teams just said were not taking the field if he’s here. It’s over. Money rules everything. If the players refuse to go out. Hell b gone
Personally I think he should be giving a field sobriety test before every game he works. Sure as hell can't be a power trip.
I wish I could be that bad at my job and not get fired or reprimanded. Must be nice.
Join a union
Cry baby players. Go angel.
If Angel Hernandez had one more eye then he'd be a Cyclops.
Angel Hernandez: annual winner of the Bob Davidson Award for umpiring excellence.
0:50 No...that's not all he did. He said "what about that one"...that's why he got tossed :o)
Imagine being as regularly terrible at your job as this guy is and never getting fired.
Good thing Angel Hernandez wasn't involved of the imperfect game back in 2010.
I have to wonder... Hernandez must live in a compound in the middle of nowhere or his neighbors do not watch baseball because there's no other way he would feel safe at home.
Every player already ready to go off on him before the play happens
Hernandez gets bored during a game and likes to start stuff. He knows what he is doing.
Starting to think Angel makes these bad calls just to get a chance to "be the man" and toss people. It's the only thing he cant be overturned by replayl
that second ejection though
I’m convinced that Angel Hernandez has a serious vision problem and makes up for his mistakes by just escalating his failures to the point of ejection
1:03 that was actually the right call. As much as I think Angel Hernandez sucks, he got that one right. You just don't see it called that often.
I was taught if you can’t say something nice about someone don’t say anything, so speaking
of Angel,
If only we heard Terry Collins give it to Angel. Absolute gold it would've been
