Just the typical Hernandez bad call. I really wish there was a camera looking at Angel during this check swing. I find it very hard to believe he was ever looking and just threw up a call.
He's done this his whole career ! It's so frustrating. That's ok the robots are coming!!!!
Worst umpire in the league.
@@christopherwilson7043the automated strike zone changes nothing here bro. They aren’t developing robots
@@joeschmoe6667for real. Automated ball/strike is still not even as accurate as the best umpires, but they think it's going to call the whole game? No one who wants that has any understanding of baseball.
@@Renegade605 Best umpires, maybe. But out of 80, that's how many? 5? If it's 95+% accurate, bring it on already.
Kudos to Bryce for telling security to find the kid so he could sign the helmet. Adding some levity to a tense ejection.
The picture of the kid holding the helmet is so cute too, hilarious that that's the conclusion of this otherwise really heated moment.
I watched this happen live (the Phils are my hometown team), and people can say what they will about Bryce Harper (I personally think he's mellowed out somewhat since his days with the Nationals), but what I found kind of wholesome was that the little boy who caught Harper's helmet after he tossed it into the crowd was seen wearing it for the rest of the game.
And Harper ended up signing it for him, too.
The child was exposed to petulant child anger from an adult. Not a healthy example of how to live.
@@rayray4192Worse, the child was exposed to Angel Hernandez!
When he's right.....he's the best fuckin player in baseball period. Idgaf who you wanna say...give me a healthy Bryce Harper all day. And I'm a fuckin mets fan.
Pardon my French.
Fire Angel Hernandez NOW!
The umpire was terrible on that call
Next time Angel sues the MLB, MLB should just play this video and then request summary judgment.
That motion should be granted without a hearing
The Second Circuit already says he sucks. His only appeal is to the US Supreme Court, although I’d love for them to say officially that Angel Hernandez is horrible!
I knew it was Angel Hernandez before watching the video
Dr Hernandez. We were supposed to remove the appendix? He didn't need his liver anyway.
What makes this so egregious is that he saw the exact same check swing a minute earlier and didn't call it. One of them had to be wrong.
3B ump only makes that call if the home plate ump asks for it. I didn't see him ask for it on the earlier pitch.
Not even CLOSE!
There are many mediocre umpires in MLB nowadays. But this one really sucks!
Let’s all remember why this is Angel’s first ejection - he missed a large chunk of the season with an injury. I’m sure if he was healthy all season he would have blown enough calls to cause more of these blow ups.
Not necessarily...he worked most, if not all of 2022, and only threw out one person. He doesn't throw people out probably because he knows he was wrong. He just lets the other umpires make the ejection.
Excellent point
It’s obviously a righteous ejection. Harper has been a prick since he came to San Diego as a travel ball players. He was probably a t- ball prick. You can’t act like he acts and stay in the ball game.
@@kren1101 umpires don’t know they are wrong unless they watch video. It’s a myth that umpires allow coaches and players to yell at them and don’t eject because they know they got the call incorrect. It doesn’t happen.
@@rayray4192 do you even watch Harper play? Hes toned it wayyyyy down from his early days...........even you don't believe he actually swung, do you ?
"Does nothing to deny us this moment" 🤣🤣
Shows how much his own peers don't even have respect for him.
Tell us how you really feel. Bryce is a disliked player?! Uh not really. Maybe if you live in DC or your team is in the NL East. But you’re really comparing him to Angel Hernandez?? That’s not really much of a matchup. Hernandez is one of the most disliked officials in all of sports.
What a late season bonus. Schwarbers ejection looked like Thriller B roll ...cheers
Harper was completely in the right here.
no, obviously he wasnt. any good player knows you take the call and respect the ump.
I've always said there's a way to get ejected. However, Harper has a long history of blatant disrespect towards the umpire.@@09fatbobmike
I missed this: How many times has Hothead Harper been tossed in HIS career?
Makes one think umpires have him on short leeway….?
This is Harper's 20th ejection. It's also the first time Harper's been ejected four times in one season.
That was bad even by Angel Hernandez standards--that's assuming there are any standards. You can't say "it's wrong"? Well, it was wrong. MLB needs to deal with bad umps. NBA does too, but it's so glaring in the case of MLB. There are just too many umpires that don't seem to be able to do the job.
I mean the rule is on the screen for you there is no check swing rule. Only thing is “did the batter attempt to strike at the pitch” so even a little bat twitch could be considered a swing. Granted there’s usually agreed upon standards for what a check swing is, but no rule book definition.
Also have you watched this channel very long? 9/10 ejections the umpire had either a correct or technically correct call. Not many that the umpires are actually in the wrong. While I don’t agree with the judgement this technically isn’t wrong since there no check swing definition, just a difference of opinion. Even the strikes called off the plate but in the buffer zone are not considered incorrect.
She can't say it's wrong because she tries to stay as factual as possible. "There's no standard to objectively say it's wrong but yeah, I don't know who calls this a swing" makes it pretty clear what she thinks of the call.
@@marimbaguy715 I don’t agree with the call either. But being factual like YOU said, it’s not an incorrect call to mlb standards. So it’s a technically not wrong call.
I suspect they want to go to robots/cameras making the calls. What better way to get there than by using some of the least capable people in existence to call games?
Terrible call. Bryce had every right to argue
Angel Hernandez ruining baseball from every position
Shoutout to the NHL 94 theme!
Obviously a deserved ejection. Obviously also a ridiculously horrible call.
Yeah I think the ejection was pretty much by the book. What led to the ejection... it was borderline at best. I don't know that it's enough to overrule the original call.
I just don’t understand how Harper gets so mad about that, especially in the 3rd inning, I think it’s the one thing I don’t grasp about him, it’s one thing to fight the umpire about the strike zone the entire night but for a checked swing called strike/out I feel like Harper has to be more disciplined there and not take that ejection.
I don’t like the call, Jomboy even shows the previous check swing upheld call by AH and they look super similar, it doesn’t seem Harper is ever attempting to go for the ball it more so seems he’s middle of the plate on each and doesn’t want them.
@@tendyedits1272if you watch the prior checked swing in the same at bat side by side with this one, they’re stunningly close to being identical. If anything the second was less of a swing than the first. But Hernandez doubled down (if the Jomboy lip reading was accurate) that the first wasn’t a swing and the second was. I’d guess that inconsistency was a significant factor in his frustration.
@@tendyedits1272 Harper's a good player, but he's a clown.
@@tendyedits1272 I suspect Harper would have kept his cool if the Phillies needed the game. But they had already clinched so he didn't mind going nuts. Furthermore I suspect he lost his cool because he was angry that someone (the umpire) could be so inept that it looked like the didn't even respect the sport. The call looked like the guy must not have even been watching, it was that horrendous.
Such a bad call
There's no standard to objectively say that it's wrong, but it you look at the check swing Angel does not call a swing earlier in the at bat they are virtually identical. By Angel's previously established subjective criteria, that was not a swing.
Worst call I’ve ever seen and what else is new Angel Hernandez was the one who called it
if it was the worst you’ve seen.. you must be 5… Hell, Angel has done alot worse…
This is pretty far from the worst. I mean the full swing Lindsey referenced at least 3 times was way worse.
Maybe a good thing to standardize and set as a rule so we dont have rogue umps like Angel, who is blind as a bat, making up calls. Also, MLB hates Angel, players/managers hate Angel. The union has to stop protecting him and other terrible unps
This is honestly the worst check swing call I've ever seen. Player gets ejected and umpire gets.....absolutely zero. There is no accountability for umps in MLB.
Equity versus equality in action
I don’t understand why the rule has nothing to define what a swing is. So basically any movement of the bat can be deemed a swing by the umpire with this incredibly vague rule. MLB badly needs to define what constitutes a swing and update this vague rule.
0:38 HELLO GORDON
Coomer popping out of nowhere caught me so off guard.
These video breakdowns are great. Thanks for the hard work and effort. LET'S GO PHILLIES! IT'S RED OCTOBER BABY!!!
Umpire squidward 😂😂😂😂
That Mexican no-swing call from 2018 at 0:02 makes me laugh every time I watch it lol
Angel Hernandez deserves a suspension. The worst strike call since that Giants-Dodgers game back in July 2021 that kicked Dave Roberts out. Looking forward to Jomboy breakdown
The fact that the MLB does nothing about the rouge umpires says everything we need to know.
He's not "rouge," but Hispanic. "Rouge," in ethnic slang, would be Native American.
If it were up to MLB he would have been fired years ago..... but that's the problem it's not MLB's decision, it's the Umpire's Union.
The union has a contract with MLB and it's the union's sole decision to fire people. But they won't. The union would rather look incredibly bad and back horrible calls by horrible umps, than to admit one of their boys was wrong.
Settlements mean nothing - and MLB's position in the AH suit was that he is a bad umpire. That's simply true. It has nothing to do with his ethnicity.
That was a fantastic break-down! Thank you!
Angel’s back at ejections for the first time since 2022.
I think you are pretty spot on with everything except your characterization of Bryce as Baseball's Most Hated Player. Sure there are plenty of fans that hate him just like there are plenty of fans that hate Tom Brady but there are legions of fans that enjoy his skill and zeal for the game. Just because he is LDS does not mean he is going to roll over every time an ump or another player oversteps their bounds.
Well said. Bryce is definitely a polarizing player. As a fan of his, I also think he can be too hot-headed at times. That's a big reason as to why he is polarizing. He brings it on himself.
If you're defending Hernandez in anyway, you're an NPC goon.
How do I always end up being at these Phillies games where someone gets tossed 🤣 but for real angel Hernandez freaking sucks
Horrible call.. The Cubs scored on a foul tip ball that the blind umpires called pass ball the night before… These idiots need to get it together before the postseason.. Definitely not a swing….. Angel Hernandez is not a good umpire… I’m glad replay review can correct some of their incompetence!!! Why not all of it????
My goodness, a CloseCallSports HLVR:AI reference? My dreams have all come true!
Harper is a hated player? Even if he is equating hate for Haper and hate for Angel are polar opposites. Harper may be hated by rivals because he is good at his job, Angel on the other hand has always been bad at his job. Also as a Phillies fan who hated Harper on the Nationals it's amazing what a change in uniform does to your opinion of the guy🤣
People ask me if Angel Hernandez is closing his eyes and flipping a coin. Can anyone confirm this?
Umpires will continue to not be shown respect as long as they defend this type of shit. You want respect? Call out bad calls and bad umpires. Hold each other accountable. Demand better. If you don’t care enough to do that, don’t cry when you’re not given the respect you think you are due.
if *that's* a strike then no need to throw the ball over the plate anymore
It’s called on the swing what are you talking about?
Bryce is not a disliked player. Angel Hernandez was blatantly wrong. Defending him is gaslighting.
Bryce requested the Helmet back from the fan and Autographed in Silver Nice and Bold. That kid is gonna remember this meaningless 3-2 loss for the rest of his life. Im sure one of his parents are the ones that secured the helmet. Either way, Harper is a class act and Angel Hernandez still stinks. Go Phils!
Apparently a bunch of guys went for it, noticed the kid nearby looking to grab the helmet if it escaped the scrum, and gave it to him.
What happened actually according to multiple reports was that the dad of the kid started chanting “give it to the kid” and the people did
@@phillies2352 Nice. Still good of the people to give it to him. I know I'd have a hard time giving up that helmet regardless of what people were asking/telling me to do.
Kinda bold to throw it in the stands and ask for it back
He specifically asked for the helmet back so he could Autograph it. Not because he wanted it lol. And from what I've heard more recently is that Multiple people from the section started chanting 'Give it to the kid' which only makes the story Cooler. Either way we're all gonna be Watching the Phil's Hitting dingers in the Post Season... AGAIN!!
Angel versus Bryce! Who wins? We do, because we got to see it!!! That alone is worth the price of admission.
Thanks! Your work brings consistent insightfulness, and with it, joy!
Thank you so much! You're so kind.
I can't believe that hack of a umpire angel hernandez is still getting over on the players in baseball
I'm not a Phillies fan, but this is ridiculous. Angel Hernandez isn't qualified to ump in a t-ball league, much less in the majors. He's been the worst at calling balls and strikes behind the plate for years, and apparently he can't get appeals at third base correct either. MLB needs to get rid of him yesterday.
Fire Angel Hernandez! Enough is Enough
...and just to be clear, this particular umpire takes the field on occasion as a Crew Chief! How embarrassing for MLB....
If I'm not mistaken, he's the same umpire who Tom Glavine couldn't stand. They stayed into it.
Yet another horrible call by Angel but also another instance where Bryce needs to chill out. Yes, he works this at bat hard but he needs to choose his battles better since he already has a bad repour with the umps. This game has no implications this late in the season after Phillies clinching a top wild card spot. In the end, the true issue is the umpire, Angel Hernandez. THIS is yet another reason he is not chosen to officiate games in the World Series, yet he sues on racial discrimination. The union needs to adjust because this ump should not be umpiring at the major league level. Not sure what else it would it would take to get him out. His history goes beyond infamy.
Pirates are the winners?!? They make it to the post season and I missed it?
It’s amazing that the umpires in mlb have the power they have.
I agree. The league thinks it’s more important to have a thin skinned tyrant get his ego stroked than have the fans get to watch a $100M player.
I agree that the call was wrong and the ejection was correct. My continuing problem with this rule is that the vague, subjective (perhaps holistic) standard applied by the plate umpire changes to a single concrete and objective standard if there is an appeal. The rule allows the plate umpire to use whatever criteria they want, such that the plate umpire could determine that, based on other factors, there is no swing even if the barrel breaks the plane. But if the call is “no swing” and there is an appeal, the sole criteria becomes breaking the plane - after all, what other piece of information could the base umpire have that the plate umpire didn’t have? I’m not sure what the rule should be - perhaps it’s a strike if the bat breaks the plane unless it’s being pulled back before the arrival of the ball, perhaps not - but surely the same rule should apply to the initial call and the appeal?
Agreed, as far as current interpretation goes.
But perhaps we should step back and rethink the rule entirely. If we want more action on the basepaths, perhaps instead of focusing on whether the batter intended to strike at the ball we should be considering whether his intent was not to strike at the ball. Could not any attempt to check one's swing indicate conclusively that the batter at that point was NOT trying to hit the ball?
And why do we allow a catcher to appeal if the home plate umpire hasn't called it a strike? Why not reverse it and only allow the batter to appeal?
@@whodoyoudanceforall interesting points. I wholeheartedly agree that this rule needs a comprehensive rethink
@@mulgrum No doubt about it. Cheers!
You have to start a swing before you can check it. Batters want to be able to start a swing, get halfway through, change their mind and then stop and get away with it. Personally I think umpires are too lenient on check swings in the first place. 40 seconds into this video you can see two examples of a batter not swing at all, the bat doesn't move off the shoulder much at all, it doesn't go near the strike zone.. then later he swings, stops halfway through with the bat in the middle of the strike zone and somehow it's not an attempt at a swing?@@whodoyoudancefor
Umpiring is not an easy craft. Those who have umpired at the HS level and beyond know this. Those who have never umpired have no clue the difficulty. The check swing is one of the harder calls to get right. Umpires do not have the luxury of watching it multiple times in slo mo.
MLB should make check swings challangable for both the batter and defensive team. If we had a replay here on this atrociously bad call by Angel, this entire Sheet show could have been avoided. I bet the umpire at 2nd base winced when Angel banged him out. Yikes
Should we start a petition to have angel hernandez fired from umpiring mlb games
So what exactly is the definition of a check swing? My understanding was that the wrists had to break for it to be a called strike, which he clearly doesn’t. The bat doesn’t even come close to crossing the plate either.
You’re a little outdated on your Harper knowledge. He is definitely not one of the most hated at this point in his career, quite the opposite actually.
CCS likes to share the blame between players and umpires. That way it softens how bad the call looks.
@@brianlampl3321LOL. This site only exists for umpires to suck each other off and make fun of the players.
So. I hate Bryce Harper's guts. He's a good player, a fantastic player really. Lots of talent, and when he manages to reel things in and stop throwing toddler-style temper tantrums he's a real asset to his team. That being said, I agree with him getting angry about that call, Angel Hernandez needs a damned seeing eye dog ffs. Actually Angel Hernandez needs to join Joe West in retirement, they were always 1 and 2 in "Worst Umpire On The Diamond" for decades. Harper has every right to be angry. But getting tossed? That's not helping his team and that's why I haven't liked the guy - despite the overload of talent he has - from his first day in the majors. He can't control his stupid temper and gets himself tossed and that's not helping his team. If he really cared about his team, he'd stop that childish shit and just let it go - he'll have another at bat later. Unless of course he gets tossed.
Agreed. But besides being a bad ump, Joe West had the added distinction of being an egomaniac.
The game was meaningless.. That's the perfect time to tell Angel how much of a moron he is
@@ChrisWaters Joe West, while certainly always an egomaniac, was a good, MLB-worthy game caller for most of his career.
A mandatory retirement age - or even better a relegation to AAA threshold - would have resulted in him having a very different public image.
There is no way Joe West was ever as bad as CB Bucknor
I really think the rule book for checked swings should go into detail and rewrite it. I remember the whole foul line thing and that's what many people remember and go by as how far the swing occurs in motion. Not sure if MLB umpires or umpires in general follow that rule still, but I think it should make it into the rule book. It's a grey rule that has no explanation or interpretation. That's like saying "Ball must be thrown to batter in a timely manner", however it specifies no time limit and leaves umpire judgement to the call which would be another grey rule with no explanation or interpretation. I've never umpired but I was a player in school for a decade, and I think both sides have to see that emotions happen. Most of the time these players get fired up that it isn't personal against the ump's character, only the call. It doesn't mean they should be berated or belittled, but we're all human as well. Anger/frustration is an emotion we feel. You see these equipment violation ejections like the one before and it's just us as humans. We feel frustrated when told we failed something, and we feel frustrated especially when told we failed and it was out of our control. Striking out is a failure when at bat and that's okay. Missing a call is a failure and that's okay. Human errors create emotions in sports. But again, that doesn't mean it's okay to belittle the umpire. Just an explanation that I don't see brought up a lot.
I don't know why anyone would be confused by this. For what I was taught and have always seen be the case is use the parallel front of the plate as the guide. If the bat goes past is it is a swing. If they stop it before lining up with that then it's not a swing. So obviously that one was not a swing. At least that screw up by the ump makes a little bit of sense as opposed to what happened last night between the phillies and braves when the home plate ump made the single worst ball/strike call i have ever seen and maybe in history to screw Max Fried. He threw a fastball that was damn near right in the middle of the strikezone. How an ump screwed that up is beyond me. He's lucky the Braves have the leagues best offense likely again and they bailed him out after the call allowed the inning to continue and the Phillies to score 3 runs.
I can't get over the fact that Angel kicked the foul line. What ever happened to the unwritten rule of staying off the base lines?
That's not an unwritten rule. It's just something followed by superstitious players and umps. There have always been players who won't step on the line and there have always been players who don't care about superstitious nonsense.
Real question….how is Angel Hernandez still employed?
The MLBUA protects him. He will be an MLB umpire until he decides to retire or umpires are replaced by technology.
The third base coach had an opportunity to save Harper's game there and blew it.
Not surprised...Angel Hernandez
Why can’t this channel just call it like it is: a blown call. You’re just a wannabe umpire defending another umpire.
This channel only exists for bad umpires to gather and stroke each other’s egos while placing all fault on the players/managers.
Maybe Angel should get moved to NY so he could become a replay official. There he would have the time to keep replaying the video feeds so he can learn to make the correct call.
He'd still screw it up.
Yep that's was one garbage call
Very little action, and now three of em!!!
Gotta end the season on a good note, lol,
Why was this obvious non-swing even appealed?
Because the plate umpire called it a ball and the catcher asked him to appeal the checked swing. When that happens, the plate umpire must go for help.
I don't hate Bryce Harper at all. He's a little dramatic and can be a big baby sometimes but I'd take him on my team (Braves) any day of the week.
EDIT: About the call - He has every right to be livid with Angel Hernandez about that call. The catcher and HP umpire knew he didn't go. Hernandez clearly needs his eyes checked, but James Hoye should have stepped in and denied the appeal to 3rd, because nobody on earth thought that was a swing.
This is a case in point that makes me think that the managers should be able to challenge calls 1st or 3rd base umps make about check swings. Send it up to the replay review where they can really slow it down and make a more educated ruling.
If I’m Harper, I tell the ump he’s a disgrace and the call was disgraceful. Then I tell him to watch the replay and I wait for his apology.
As long as this BS exists in MLB I could never be a true fan. For these professional athletes' to be subjected to this less than amateurish calls is a disgrace. I understand that people make mistakes but this is a pattern. Any other job an employee would be subjected to review and disciplined. They must have one hell of a union.
Second umpire didn’t need to join in and put hands on Harper. There were already two coaches up there and as much as Harper can be a hothead, he isn’t going to hit Hernandez. More importantly, that is just a disgrace of a call by Hernandez. As much as everyone including umpires dislike Harper, we can’t make bad calls with biased eyes or to get back at a player.
sure he did. Harper was thrown out of the game. He should have left on his own.
@@tchevrier that’s my point. The second umpire wasn’t needed. After he has his say he’ll go. Harper isn’t going to risk a suspension. Besides coaches wouldn’t let him get close enough for Hernandez to be bumped.
@@tchevrier Don't encourage him. He repeats the same comment every thread, despite it clearly being standard procedure for MLB umpires today.
@@DJTexan he was less than a foot from Hernandez. How close do you think he should be allowed to get?
@@marimbaguy715 standards can and should change. No one wants to have someone put their hands on them if they aren’t allowed to do it back.
I actually like Angel Hernandez. He is a professional entertainer and provides entertainment at an incredible level for all of us to witness. Baseball wouldn't be as funny or entertaining without Angel.
not.even.close ... wow
Bryce is one of the most hated players? I thought he kind of dropped off the hatedar (hate-radar) in recent years
Back to the housework Marge
Even more concrete evidence of how horrible an umpire Angel Hernandez is!
Question. Is a check swing reviewable? So if Bryce Harper had not flipped out, would Rob Thompson have been able to go to NY for an appeal. It's not a regular strike. The review HBP a check swing on such an obvious blown call. How could even Angel have missed that. Do he not see it? Did he just guess? He guessed wrong.
Nope, because there's no objective standard on what a check swing actually is.
Balls/strikes/check swings are NOT reviewable.
This assessment sounds bias of someone who doesn’t like Bryce. Angel has his fans too.
I'm just waiting for the day that someone snaps and decks Angel. Not that I condone that, but its bound to happen.
Well, why I am not surprised that it’s Angel Hernandez? Angel always wanted to be the center of attention per usual.
And, guess what in this case? Bryce Harper was in the right to be irate here after being wrongfully called out on strikes.
And, it’s not a shock that Bryce gets tossed at 1:22; plus someone got a souvenir via his batting helmet at 2:44.
You gotta be watching a different video than the rest of us 🤣
@@J.C... Wait, you're here to argue that he went around?
That's certainly a unique thought.
@@whodoyoudanceforNo, J.C. is referring to who wants to be center of attention. It's undeniably Harper, throwing the tantrum. Absolutely preposterous to believe umpires make bad calls to get attention. It makes zero sense--negative sense, if such a thing is possible--on every level.
@@closethockeyfan5284 You think Harper got screwed on an awful checked swing call and decided "This is how I'll make it on to Sportscenter tonight!!"
He's not trying to get attention. He's maybe trying to bring attention to the embarrassment of Angel Hernandez, but most likely he's just furious that an elite athlete, in the best league in the world, is subject to such overt incompetence.
@@J.C...No, I did watch the video & it’s Angel of course.
Bryce Harper hit morano at the home plate in the diamond backs tied 2 to 2he hit him with his elbow and didnt need to ,and then talking about it to his buddy in the dugout one a cheaters always a cheater,that's not sportsmanship in my book,
20th Bryce Harper career ejection
I would of done the same thing 😂😂😂
The bottom line is Angel Hernandez is atrocious and needs to go. It’s a joke. Let’s be real. Hernandez is a disgrace to the sport
Bad call, and I’m a Dodger fan. You hate to see that as a fan of the game.
No matter what. Harper needs to eat some veggies and go give his mom a hug.
Don’t digress.
This one is horrible. Angel needs to be let go.
Hummm...I fault the home plate umpire too. He didn't need Angel's appeal there. Just let Harper go to first.
I'm a Mets fan who hates Bryce Harper. That was not a swing under most definitions. Harper could have walked up the 3rd base line, wrapped his hands around Hernandez's neck and strangled him and no jury would convict him. MLB needs to tell Hernandez to retire, or he'll be fired for cause. He's terrible, always HAS been terrible, and I wonder how the heck he still has a job.
Regardless of how terrible he is, the calls for violence are unwarranted, despicable and far more damaging to society. He might be a terrible umpire, but Hernandez is a better person than anyone who casually lobs death threats can ever hope to be.
just cause he's disliked doesn't make murder legal
This is the worst take I've ever seen on the internet. And I once visited 4chan.
One time - one game, I bet this is all it would take. Two teams agree beforehand, when Hernandez is scheduled to be behind home plate, to just not take the field. To sit in the dugout, and boycott.
What would MLB do?
Probably a double forfeit and other sanctions. MLB is not going to allow teams to dictate who the umpires are.
Crushing it
You a Sarasota Tim Fan?😂
