Does The Angel of Death...ever get a call RIGHT? Hernandez should have been fired 20 years ago. Stuck w him now. There are "bad umpires" and then there is "Angel Hernandez". That idiot sits in a class (or lack thereof) all his own. Worst of the worst is Angel
@@claycoey6526 I did see him make the right call on batter's interference once on a stolen base attempt. His problem is that he thinks he's a better umpire than he really is and makes up for bad calls with a quick trigger finger.
@@artheriford I saw him call out sick for work once. So I suppose it is possible that he could make a "good call" every once in a blue moon. Every other color of moon? However? He sucks. Worst umpire of all time. At least Joe West can be a cool jagoff once in a while. Angel? Is simply a pompous ass. Jagoff should have been fired 2 decades ago
The first 4 minutes shows you just how important the challenge capability is and I’m so glad they added it. Imagine all of the games lost in this last century due to shitty umpiring like that. World Series games, regular season games, no-hitters, hitting streaks, etc.
Angel Hernandez: Sues MLB for not allowing him to officiate a World Series, claiming racism Also Angel Hernandez: *Can’t even officiate a divisional playoff game*
.... divisional playoff!?! That makes it sound like he CAN coach a pickup game in the park, let alone little league or dare I say a regular season game. Divisional playoff game lmao
@@pidayrocks2235 He isn't a coach. he is an umpire. The word you are looking for is "officiating". And he shouldn't be officiating a pick up game in the park, little league, or anything else. The man is obviously blind.

@@Le_Fenixyeah if he had slid in and the catcher got injured then they'd have been saying he shouldn't have slid, it was reckless, he should have known he was gonna be out and just accepted it
I like the one where they made the correct call as a strike out, then called a foul ball for a ball he clearly never even touched after seeing a replay.
The first angel call is extremely close, and especially in a loud stadium it’s hard to hear the pop of the glove and the sound of the foot on the bag. The second one is also close but not as defendable. The ones after that are just awful though. If he just got the first two wrong, that’s not great but at least it’s understandable. The calls after that however should be enough to get you banned from umpiring playoff games at the very least.
@@Das_Beachy I agree to a certain extent. When calls are blown to the extent that Angel's are then they have no business being an MLB umpire let alone umping a World Series as he claims racism. Angel should be a high school ump, not MLB.
@@conradmurphy4239 I don't disagree with you. I can't stand Angel Hernandez and I think he is getting worse. However, using a play that is physically impossible to see in real time to bash him is dishonest. Had another ump made this same call and have it overturned there wouldn't be dozens of videos using it to show what a horrible ump they are.

@@Das_Beachy completely agree that we shouldn't base things on a single bang- bang play. It's a human making a judgement and it would be unrealistic to expect someone to get 100% of their calls right.

@@conradmurphy4239 high school? That’s too competitive and fast moving for Angel. He should be umping beer league games for guys telling people they were potential major league prospects who just caught bad breaks. 70mph fastballs and the lack of bang-bang plays would be more fitting to Angel’s staggering inability to call close plays correctly.
Ron Darling, who was a commentator for that game is a Mets announcer full time among the most impartial in the game. Even he was getting annoyed at Angel. And that says something.
The best part about the Angel Hernandez clips is how the sportcasting has to go along with all the rollercoaster calls and overturning with their usual vigor, up until the end where they're just tired of it. "Oh, he's CLEARLY safe."
Given the speed that Angel makes his calls, it seems like he determines what he's going to call it about a second or two before the actual event and just goes with it.
The first one is hardly awful. It's a bang bang play. You can barely tell in super slow motion. Used to be tie goes to the runner...to the naked eye, that's a tie.
@@EXE-Edits Fair enough, and I was gonna say even with the 2nd one, it's not so bad. Umps have their off nights too, and in the end they were corrected. But that 3rd one's pretty bad though, that ball's like 2 feet from the glove when the runner hits the base. Must have really been a bad night.
@@ExoticRocketsExoticRockets I stand corrected. I had always heard that since little league but never looked it up. Turns out a tie is an out. Huh. Learn something every day.

When players lose their ability, they get sent to the Minors. There should be a similar routine for Umps that mess up. The players in the Minors wouldn't like that!
Living in Tampa, I get the. Marlins games as well as the Rays. The guy is one of the worst and most biased announcers I have ever heard. He’s awful. The Rays announcers, though I’m not a fan of the Rays, are very much fairer and give credit where it’s due, for BOTH teams.
If you think that’s bad go watch the video of Jim Joyce ruining a perfect game with one of the worst safe calls you’ll ever see at first base with 2 outs in the 9th.
Because MLB wants to have the whole umpire pride thing and it would be seen as weak if they fired him and people would think they could get any bad umpire fired (COUGHFIREWESTTHATPROVOKINGDUMBASSBITCHCOUGH)
@ except it was plain and simple. Which is why everyone in the stadium could see they were shitty calls. No ones pretending to be all knowing. Literally the casters have lost count of how many times hes made a bad call.
"That's gotta be the sickest feeling in the world for an umpire". I like the idea that Hernandez is losing a single second of sleep over these calls. He couldn't care less.
That clip of the Cubs and Rockies still makes me happy to watch cos it shows the respect and true understanding of the game that every player on the field has by refusing to leave
Miguel was jogging casually around old Shea stadium pre game and I was field level . And I quietly said “what’s up migual” and he ran passed me and turned his neck and said hello back. I’ll never forget that.
I love how the first four minutes and one second are all Angel Hernandez in the same game making terrible calls. Then the one with the Marlins and the White Sox. Angel is a dumb ump Edit: Brewers-Phillies 😐
@@yessir2873 True but considering he is a professional at the highest level, we expect him to get more of these right. The last one would have been overturned without electronic replay. The 3rd base umpire could have called that one.
@@russellcurtis2501 there was a study in cricket umpires, not identical but close enough, that said for tough decisions they were right about 50% of the time. Sure, you could expect pros to be a little better, but at the end of the day humans are only capable of reacting so fast.
I like how in the Reds/Marlins game the announcer kept saying he didn't even slide. Where was Cozart supposed to slide. Mathis was setup in the baseline to catch the ball. If he slide feet first he could have been hurt or even spiked Mathis, if he slide head first then there could have more of a major injury to Cozart. The rule was the Catcher couldn't be in the baseline unless he has the ball. He didn't get the ball until Cozart was about 3 steps from home plate, which meant there was no where for Cozart to slide unless he slide outside the baseline no where close to the plate. The announcer sounded so stupid.
The announcer was an old score announcer. The rule is much better and prevents intentional injuries. Anyone who supports a runner blasting a catcher or vice versa is just old school and doesn’t care about a persons health
Couldn’t have said it better. He would’ve been out by a mile, but he was still very clearly blocking the baseline and did not have the ball, which is what the rule they even put on screen said. Funny story, the game didn’t change that day. It was a good call.
Zach VanGundy The good ones will. As long as the player shows respect. Go find the videos with the mic’d up umps. The conversations, in many cases are not as hostile as they seem. The umps actually do a good job at trying to defuse the situation.
i don’t get how myself, who’s played baseball for only 11 years and has never umpired a day in my life could probably do a better job than angel hernandez for absolutely free
One guy I know who went to an umpiring camp bc he’s a youth ump. Angel was there and ripped him for being left handed. I woulda told angel “at least I get 90% of my calls right”
The Phantom 2018 it has nothing to do with the fact that he didn’t slide. If you go back and look you can see that he clearly did not even touch the plate
@@williamwatkins1996 The catcher gave him a pretty clear lane to run. Either way, that's where the catcher needed to be in order to make the play. Also, by the time the runner had reached him, he already had the ball so he wasn't really blocking the lane, he was simply making the play.
@@williamwatkins1996 That's horseshit. They literally explained the rule to your dumbass in the video. He had possession of the ball well before the runner was even close to the plate. It's not blocking the lane if he has the ball. Learn the rules or shut the fuck up.
I’m a Cubs fan but listening to Hawk commentary during Sox games was hilarious. Whenever the white Sox where loosing or committing a lot of errors he would just stay quiet
I love Javy's reaction. He tells Rizzo they got the out call but gives him the "ehhhh" with his hands. Run asks "Did you get me right there?" And Javy says "No idea" it's bad in a win or go home playoff game that even the players are like, yeah that's bad.
Some other terrible displays of umpiring are Justin Turner getting tossed for waving at an umpire and Rios being thrown out for hittin JT with an 82 MPH slider that even the dodgers argued
He's protected by the umpires union. MLB can't get rid of him, but I'm sure they want to. MLB has actually said, in court, that he's bad at his job which is why he doesn't get to be crew chief or World Series assignments. That's about all they can do when they're stuck with a guy who's bad at his job but who they can't fire.
He is very good at playing the race card to make himself a victim and it works because there ARE umpires who are white, worse than Hernandez AND become crew chiefs and playoff umps.
@@mochiyeosang1908 The first two were VERY close and the third was still kind of close. It's tough to make bang bang calls in real time and the umps are human. The point was that after review, the correct call was made each time. To me, that's what counts in the end.
I remember that Marlins-Reds game. My dad was absolutely livid with the reversal of the call. Can’t say I was too thrilled about it either. It was talked about on the local news for nearly a week.
I mean he was blocking the plate before he had the ball. If he slid like the old announcer said it would have had a good chance at causing injury, which is what the rule was put in place to prevent . I do not have any bias towards either team but it looked like the right call to me idk.
I'm so glad that the ability to review a call without a limit of challenges came into the playoffs but I really haven't seen alot of challenges in the regular season tho
They were both umpires in the 2005 World Series. White Sox swept the Astros but all four games were decided by two or one runs. Kinda wonder if better umpiring could have changed something.
@Jonny Moon I believe Curt Shillings said “Joe West is a good umpire, a mean one, but a good one” or something similar to that. And I agree, he is technically great at making calls, I think his problem is he knows this and he can’t accept that he could possibly make a wrong call. Example: 2018 ALCS Altuve hit a ball that bounced out of Betts glove and was ruled as fan interference by Joe West, doesn’t matter rather you agree with the call or not, when they reviewed it there was not enough evidence for or against the call so the ruling on the field stood, but Joe told reporters after that the review guys told him he made the right call, but we know this isn’t true because they had no good camera angle on it.
@Jonny Moon He is not a good Ump. He instigates confrontations. Ill say that again He instigates confrontations. AN Ump can NEVER do that. To me that is a bit of corruption of the game. So, he is bad.
@13:10 - I absolutely hate announcers who overlook obvious things... yes, the catcher had the ball when he made the tag, but he also BLOCKED THE BASEPATH *BEFORE* he had the ball!
Right; A baseball catcher who's blocking the path towards home before having the ball isn't something that he can do while the base runner is running towards the home plate. Otherwise, the base runner will be called safe.
It's really just old people who have a bias towards a team lol. He will make any excuse to say the catcher did nothing wrong, but if the dude ACTUALLY slid/went straight through the catcher (like you know, the reason they put the rule in place) and the catcher would have gotten hurt, they would have blamed the runner for being so reckless.
That first one was so extremely close I can give Angel Hernande slack. However, he was blind on so many others when any basic review would have easily fixed them.
Walter Johnson was so fast and so feared that one time after a umpire called a strike on a no swing the batter said" a stike, i didnt see the ball!" Umpire replied " I didn't see it either but it sure sounded like one!"
But you'll never hear Harrellson talk about the bad calls that went the White Sox way in any games and they had plenty. You can tell em that I'm bored, yes!!!
Jivan Scarano Oh yeah, you're totally right. The true and proper way of pronouncing it is, "caf-fay-oh-lay". That is how you pronouce the word "hovering". You english good talkie.
As soon as I heard the female announcer, I cringed. I have never heard a female announcer with a sense of humor. I believe that they think they won’t be taken seriously if they showed one. I think the opposite is true. Be human. Laugh, joke. Not every sentence has to be analytical.
tampajohn getting a job in sports as a female is hard enough, obviously she would stay as professional as possible cause she wants to keep her job. Not saying I don't see your point, but I can also see her side and relate.
4:26 you know what the worst part about this call was, it wasn’t overturned even after the replay clearly showed he was safe. I say this every time and I’ll say it again, the Cubs deserved to lose this game
Isaac Wheeler Cubs only deserve to lose because of their massive egos, and insanely obnoxious fan base. As a proud Nats fan, who can’t stand the amount of Cubs fans who rub the Bote walk off in our face, I can freely say that the Cubs deserved to lose.
@@MrSonicspeed59 Oh you're a Nats fan, no wonder you don't like a better team that knocked you guys out two years ago. I have yet to see a Cubs fan claim they should have won that game. Oh, and that 1-2, 2 out down 3-0 grand slam? That must have sucked, eh? GO CUBS
Brandon Milligan You literally just proved why I hate Cubs fans. You always think you’re the best even though you’re not, and you never knwiw when to shut up. Do I know that my team wasn’t the best last year? Yes. Do I know the Bote slam happened? Yes. The Nats May have not made the postseason, but at least we only choke during one game, not two games back to back. And maybe if you guys had won the both games you played in DC on September 8th, then you wouldn’t have had to lose in game 163.
Before clicking this video, I had a feeling itd be an Angel Hernandez compilation. He has the worst reputation in the league. How the guy still has his job is beyond me. If they didn’t have their union, hed have been gone a long time ago. But remember, umps and refs don’t ever have to pay for their incompetence. Just players and managers...
13:23 with the commentator crying like a baby, it the right call the catch moved in front of the plate before he had the ball, he did not have to move that way to catch it
Even as a cubs fan 6:42 dude was clear as day safe. Something similar happened in the 2017 nlcs. Willson Contreras tagged the runner out clear as the sky is blue. Runner never touched home and they called him safe. How is a runner safe when he never touches the plate and the catcher has the ball well before the runner gets there.
@@trecchannel4205 the ruling is the fielder illegally interfered with the runner, blocking him from advancing to the plate. They are automatically safe and advance another base when applicable. Requiring the runner to touch the base while interfered with would be self defeating and ridiculous. Imagine a runner running to second and being tripped or grabbed by a fielder. You wouldn't say he's out because he didn't touch the base.
@@liberty7653 You must think I’m a third grader or something. The disputed call in question was at home plate. Key word,DISPUTED! I’ve seen that play about ten times now,and the catcher must be away from the path of the runner to avoid interference ONLY if he doesn’t catch Stanton’s throw at the flight of it.
Joey van Bekkum Did you not listen to the whole spiel by the announcer. He was making an argument that he blocked the plate and therefore could not feasibly touch home.
@E.W. Hans They ruled correctly by the rule shown on the screen. The catcher was blocking home plate before he had the ball and didn't have to, thus it is ruled safe for the runner.
I hate the new rule but also hate that a catcher could be run over. The catcher should have to give some of the plate for the runner to slide into regardless of possession of the ball
The guy was out by a mile. Tagged. Worst example of a bad call in this vid IMO. I played catcher. This guy played it perfectly. Not anywhere close to obstruction.
Angel Hernandez. That is all.
Worst umpire in the world.
That guy is straight up garbage
Why Angel Hernandez? Why are you garbage at baseball?
Facts
Shoot
"Blown call by Hernandez," is possibly the most common phrase uttered by baseball game commentators in the 21st century.
Right up there with "Struck him out."
Right up there with “The Phillies bullpen blows the lead”
Nah. It’s the most common phrase uttered IN THE HISTORY of baseball. (Upper caps so Angel can read it)
Hernandez is bad (aside from behind the plate where I actually think he’s decent).. but he has NOTHING on CB Bucknor or Jim Joyce
It's certainly the most redundant phrase ever uttered in any context in World History.

That clip of the Cubs and Rockies still makes me happy to watch cos it shows the respect and true understanding of the game that every player on the field has by refusing to leave
Miguel Cabrera is like the nicest guy in baseball for him to lose his temper is very rare
Read that just as it happened
Nah, the nicest is Bartolo, but you are still kinda right
Miguel was jogging casually around old Shea stadium pre game and I was field level . And I quietly said “what’s up migual” and he ran passed me and turned his neck and said hello back. I’ll never forget that.
Tell that to Austin Romine lol
Cabrera is an ass
I love how the first four minutes and one second are all Angel Hernandez in the same game making terrible calls. Then the one with the Marlins and the White Sox. Angel is a dumb ump
Edit: Brewers-Phillies 😐
It’s hard to ump when you are blind you try it
The first 3 are close
Zurdo 1269 number 3 was one u can call him out for but ur rite those first two were so close u can’t blame him for that.
@@yessir2873 True but considering he is a professional at the highest level, we expect him to get more of these right. The last one would have been overturned without electronic replay. The 3rd base umpire could have called that one.
@@russellcurtis2501 there was a study in cricket umpires, not identical but close enough, that said for tough decisions they were right about 50% of the time. Sure, you could expect pros to be a little better, but at the end of the day humans are only capable of reacting so fast.
A former major league player once told me, that Angel Hernandez will never ever ever admit he's wrong.
Imma need Angel Hernandez to make the call when St. Peter is listing the reasons I can't go to heaven.
I wouldn't let Hernandez, Joe West or CB Bucknor ump a T-ball game.
Speeddemon3 I wouldn’t let his enter a city with a baseball diamond
Not even one of those new fangled T-ball games where they don't even keep score.
Okay
Add Jim Joyce to that list
Speeddemon3 It’s not up to you
Careful, EXE. Hernandez might review that this video is not on TH-cam, and throw you off the internet for arguing that it is.
Or sue him for racism like he's suing MLB.
Freedom of Speech dude. That is unconstitutional
😂
Hell just get the video demonitized like a normal awful person who gets called out on their bullshit
@@ISIIN15 gay wonk intensifies
I like how in the Reds/Marlins game the announcer kept saying he didn't even slide. Where was Cozart supposed to slide. Mathis was setup in the baseline to catch the ball. If he slide feet first he could have been hurt or even spiked Mathis, if he slide head first then there could have more of a major injury to Cozart. The rule was the Catcher couldn't be in the baseline unless he has the ball. He didn't get the ball until Cozart was about 3 steps from home plate, which meant there was no where for Cozart to slide unless he slide outside the baseline no where close to the plate. The announcer sounded so stupid.
The announcer was an old score announcer. The rule is much better and prevents intentional injuries. Anyone who supports a runner blasting a catcher or vice versa is just old school and doesn’t care about a persons health
Couldn’t have said it better. He would’ve been out by a mile, but he was still very clearly blocking the baseline and did not have the ball, which is what the rule they even put on screen said. Funny story, the game didn’t change that day. It was a good call.
Mike Winters: he did it again
Angel Hernandez: I did it again
Replay dude: get me the hell outta here
Angel Hernandez: Oops! I did it again.

Angel Hernandez has no business umpiring anymore. He's a joke.
Can you imagine a game umped by Angel Hernandez and Joe West
And cb buckner
The game would still be going on
Cris Morales either that or someone would have forfeited because of getting most of their players thrown out of the game
Yeeeeesh. Only in my nightmares!

He's full of shit. That one shouldn't even be on here.
If I wanted to bean someone...I'd DEFINITELY throw a 77 mph slider
Getting your money's worth, clearly.
Obviously. That spin from the slider could cause a nasty rash on the batters skin. 🙄
Bonus points for doing it in the 2nd inning when your team doesn't have any reliever warming up.
why do umps refuse to talk to players. It's like they know they screwed up and don't want to face it
You answered your own question
Because the call's been made, no discussion needed, get back to work.
@@jasona.126 Your probably angel on a burner account stfu dumbass
I think you answered your own question :)
Zach VanGundy The good ones will. As long as the player shows respect. Go find the videos with the mic’d up umps. The conversations, in many cases are not as hostile as they seem. The umps actually do a good job at trying to defuse the situation.
Angel Hernandez: "But, but, but racism!!!!!"
Guy couldn't call peewee league baseball
It's easy to tell which umps have money riding on the game.
@@PurpleObscuration they're riding on something else too
i don’t get how myself, who’s played baseball for only 11 years and has never umpired a day in my life could probably do a better job than angel hernandez for absolutely free
One guy I know who went to an umpiring camp bc he’s a youth ump. Angel was there and ripped him for being left handed. I woulda told angel “at least I get 90% of my calls right”
4:27 "did you get me there?" "nah you were safe"
Roses are red
Airplanes can glide
The game’s gonna change
*”HE DIDN’T EVEN SLIDE!”*
The Phantom 2018 it has nothing to do with the fact that he didn’t slide. If you go back and look you can see that he clearly did not even touch the plate
Unboxing with Christian that's not what was in question, if he blocks the plate he's safe
Catcher did not give lane to runner he’s safe that’s the right call.
@@williamwatkins1996 The catcher gave him a pretty clear lane to run. Either way, that's where the catcher needed to be in order to make the play. Also, by the time the runner had reached him, he already had the ball so he wasn't really blocking the lane, he was simply making the play.
@@williamwatkins1996 That's horseshit. They literally explained the rule to your dumbass in the video. He had possession of the ball well before the runner was even close to the plate. It's not blocking the lane if he has the ball. Learn the rules or shut the fuck up.
Angel Hernandez is confused why these are bad calls
@Aaron Schwartz Angel Hernandez should actually be confused about why he still has a job

You're an absolute genius arod.
The ESPN Sunday night baseball analyst crew is a disaster.
patersonplankrd it *WAS* better _but that’s way back when_
No idea how Angel Hernandez has been an ump this long
He is represented by a union and the league doesn’t want to risk a lawsuit or whatever the fuck will happen if they fire him
I’m amazed he hasn’t been beaten with bats after a game with a lot of bad calls
They tried to, but then he sued the mlb
THE UNION !
Angel Hernandez highlight reel

@@Johnmhatheist fair
lol go cubs
I’m a Cubs fan but listening to Hawk commentary during Sox games was hilarious. Whenever the white Sox where loosing or committing a lot of errors he would just stay quiet
Loosing?
3:58 - 4:07 Legendary call 🤣
If there is more than 3 challenges in a baseball game than that is sad. Especially if it is the same ump
SweetTastyMemes Bruh well angel hernandez had five and that shows something
What's even sadder is you wrote than instead of then.
I love Javy's reaction. He tells Rizzo they got the out call but gives him the "ehhhh" with his hands. Run asks "Did you get me right there?" And Javy says "No idea" it's bad in a win or go home playoff game that even the players are like, yeah that's bad.
Some other terrible displays of umpiring are Justin Turner getting tossed for waving at an umpire and Rios being thrown out for hittin JT with an 82 MPH slider that even the dodgers argued
6:55 didn't know Michael Scott was a commentator now.
The other announcer is trying to talk. It’s so funny

@@Ghostrider6Ahe tells the truth about the umpires
@@terminator23destroyer15 You ought to watch Gary Thorne, he's a professional.
How Angel Hernandez has a job is beyond me.
Entertainment is one hell of a paycheck
He is a protected species.
He's protected by the umpires union. MLB can't get rid of him, but I'm sure they want to. MLB has actually said, in court, that he's bad at his job which is why he doesn't get to be crew chief or World Series assignments. That's about all they can do when they're stuck with a guy who's bad at his job but who they can't fire.
He is very good at playing the race card to make himself a victim and it works because there ARE umpires who are white, worse than Hernandez AND become crew chiefs and playoff umps.
The fact that Angel Hernandez had five challenges in one series is very telling. Pitiful.
I don't watch baseball, but for some reason I enjoy these clips of atrocious umpire calls.
First one isn't bad, that's very close.
@Hehdhchrydhd Duunhdjrjdjdj you troll every comment.
it was more so to highlight that he blew 3 calls in an inning, or at least thats what the channel owner said
@@mochiyeosang1908 The first two were VERY close and the third was still kind of close. It's tough to make bang bang calls in real time and the umps are human. The point was that after review, the correct call was made each time. To me, that's what counts in the end.
it was to show how many calls he botched, not just disputing that specific call
4:08 The kid in the background. Welcome to New York
Aiden Gauthier 😂
😂 oh my lord
I said the same thing but 4:09 and then saw this comment 🤣🤣
I never thought I'd be seeing Manny Machado holding someone back from fighting with the umps.
making a bad call is one thing, but having a call challenged and reviewing slo mo footage and still holding the call is just wrong
Angel blowing the Marlins-Sox call was worth another classic Homer Hawk blowup.
Angel Hernandez struck sgain
Hawk is the worst announcer I have ever heard.
I remember that Marlins-Reds game. My dad was absolutely livid with the reversal of the call. Can’t say I was too thrilled about it either. It was talked about on the local news for nearly a week.
MLB replay is terrible. It’s like they fuck the most obvious calls up on purpose so people eventually want them to get rid of it because it’s so bad
I mean he was blocking the plate before he had the ball. If he slid like the old announcer said it would have had a good chance at causing injury, which is what the rule was put in place to prevent . I do not have any bias towards either team but it looked like the right call to me idk.
I'm so glad that the ability to review a call without a limit of challenges came into the playoffs but I really haven't seen alot of challenges in the regular season tho
If I saw Angel Hernandez or Joe West, I’d be like, well we’re screwed
They were both umpires in the 2005 World Series. White Sox swept the Astros but all four games were decided by two or one runs. Kinda wonder if better umpiring could have changed something.
@Jonny Moon I believe Curt Shillings said “Joe West is a good umpire, a mean one, but a good one” or something similar to that. And I agree, he is technically great at making calls, I think his problem is he knows this and he can’t accept that he could possibly make a wrong call. Example: 2018 ALCS Altuve hit a ball that bounced out of Betts glove and was ruled as fan interference by Joe West, doesn’t matter rather you agree with the call or not, when they reviewed it there was not enough evidence for or against the call so the ruling on the field stood, but Joe told reporters after that the review guys told him he made the right call, but we know this isn’t true because they had no good camera angle on it.
@Jonny Moon He is not a good Ump. He instigates confrontations. Ill say that again He instigates confrontations.
AN Ump can NEVER do that. To me that is a bit of corruption of the game. So, he is bad.
Such was the curse of the Jays in 2016
That's when you tell your catcher to let a high fastball just go, and hope you catch west between the eyes.
Hernandez really caught heat that game
I loved that "Gee … I should have stayed in bed this morning" look on his face.
@Hehdhchrydhd Duunhdjrjdjdj it was sarcasm for all of them moron LOL
Angel Hernandez must have some dirt on somebody in a high place in MLB.
@13:10 - I absolutely hate announcers who overlook obvious things... yes, the catcher had the ball when he made the tag, but he also BLOCKED THE BASEPATH *BEFORE* he had the ball!
Right; A baseball catcher who's blocking the path towards home before having the ball isn't something that he can do while the base runner is running towards the home plate. Otherwise, the base runner will be called safe.
It's really just old people who have a bias towards a team lol. He will make any excuse to say the catcher did nothing wrong, but if the dude ACTUALLY slid/went straight through the catcher (like you know, the reason they put the rule in place) and the catcher would have gotten hurt, they would have blamed the runner for being so reckless.
I'm a die hard white sox fan but man do I freaking love Miguel Cabrera...ill never forget how bad of a call that was on him.
Angel Hernandez should never ump a little league game let alone a playoff MLB game
Angel Hernandez is in every other clip😂
ButterBench FB if not all of them lol
That first one was so extremely close I can give Angel Hernande slack. However, he was blind on so many others when any basic review would have easily fixed them.
It’s difficult for us to see it bc the cameras are shaky and moving. But damn Angel, damn ur right there
Walter Johnson was so fast and so feared that one time after a umpire called a strike on a no swing the batter said" a stike, i didnt see the ball!" Umpire replied " I didn't see it either but it sure sounded like one!"
*Sees video title*
Oh, so it's a video about Angel Hernandez.
Thank you for presenting all these
God Angel Hernandez is God AWFUL!!! Also, Hawk Harrellson with the savage burn on Hernandez
But you'll never hear Harrellson talk about the bad calls that went the White Sox way in any games and they had plenty. You can tell em that I'm bored, yes!!!
Joe West, and Angel Hernandez. The most notorious umpires I’ve seen
West: Notorious for being funny and bad occasionally
Hernandez: Just flat out sucks
Angel is worse by a country mile
Don't forget CB Bucknor
We need to talk about how she pronounced "hovering" at 6:15
Pronouncing it "huvvering" is just as bad tbh.
Jivan Scarano
Oh yeah, you're totally right. The true and proper way of pronouncing it is, "caf-fay-oh-lay". That is how you pronouce the word "hovering". You english good talkie.
As soon as I heard the female announcer, I cringed. I have never heard a female announcer with a sense of humor. I believe that they think they won’t be taken seriously if they showed one. I think the opposite is true. Be human. Laugh, joke. Not every sentence has to be analytical.
Mendoza has been let go, lol
tampajohn getting a job in sports as a female is hard enough, obviously she would stay as professional as possible cause she wants to keep her job. Not saying I don't see your point, but I can also see her side and relate.
The fact Angel Hernandez still has a job has convinced me an ump could commit first degree murder and still call games
Yup, as predicted, this video enraged me. Thank you.
4:26 you know what the worst part about this call was, it wasn’t overturned even after the replay clearly showed he was safe. I say this every time and I’ll say it again, the Cubs deserved to lose this game
the cubs never deserve to lose. who do u like?
Isaac Wheeler Cubs only deserve to lose because of their massive egos, and insanely obnoxious fan base. As a proud Nats fan, who can’t stand the amount of Cubs fans who rub the Bote walk off in our face, I can freely say that the Cubs deserved to lose.
Isaac Wheeler dude I’m a cubs fan and they deserved to lose they couldn’t hit
@@MrSonicspeed59 Oh you're a Nats fan, no wonder you don't like a better team that knocked you guys out two years ago. I have yet to see a Cubs fan claim they should have won that game.
Oh, and that 1-2, 2 out down 3-0 grand slam? That must have sucked, eh? GO CUBS
Brandon Milligan You literally just proved why I hate Cubs fans. You always think you’re the best even though you’re not, and you never knwiw when to shut up. Do I know that my team wasn’t the best last year? Yes. Do I know the Bote slam happened? Yes. The Nats May have not made the postseason, but at least we only choke during one game, not two games back to back. And maybe if you guys had won the both games you played in DC on September 8th, then you wouldn’t have had to lose in game 163.
Before clicking this video, I had a feeling itd be an Angel Hernandez compilation. He has the worst reputation in the league. How the guy still has his job is beyond me. If they didn’t have their union, hed have been gone a long time ago. But remember, umps and refs don’t ever have to pay for their incompetence. Just players and managers...
13:23 with the commentator crying like a baby, it the right call the catch moved in front of the plate before he had the ball, he did not have to move that way to catch it
Even as a cubs fan 6:42 dude was clear as day safe.
Something similar happened in the 2017 nlcs. Willson Contreras tagged the runner out clear as the sky is blue. Runner never touched home and they called him safe. How is a runner safe when he never touches the plate and the catcher has the ball well before the runner gets there.
4:28 2nd baseman mouths,
“You weren’t out”
To the runner😂
Now THATS what I like to see. Some integrity amongst opponents 👏 👏 👏

I’m surprised that no one’s ever gotten jail time for assaulting an ump with a bat
Delmon Young should have
On the throw to home by Stanton, Cozart wasn’t only tagged out,he never even stepped on the plate.
As a Reds fan, I can honestly say he was out by a country mile. No interference, and like you said he never touched the plate
Touching the plate isn't necessary on an interference call
@@liberty7653 Where does it say that?
@@trecchannel4205 the ruling is the fielder illegally interfered with the runner, blocking him from advancing to the plate. They are automatically safe and advance another base when applicable. Requiring the runner to touch the base while interfered with would be self defeating and ridiculous. Imagine a runner running to second and being tripped or grabbed by a fielder. You wouldn't say he's out because he didn't touch the base.
@@liberty7653 You must think I’m a third grader or something. The disputed call in question was at home plate. Key word,DISPUTED! I’ve seen that play about ten times now,and the catcher must be away from the path of the runner to avoid interference ONLY if he doesn’t catch Stanton’s throw at the flight of it.
Kevin Gaussman's catcher was HOT after that ejection. Can't blame him either.
I know i am late but are we all gonna ignore the fact that the runner at 12:18 never touched home plate?
Joey van Bekkum Did you not listen to the whole spiel by the announcer. He was making an argument that he blocked the plate and therefore could not feasibly touch home.
@E.W. Hans They ruled correctly by the rule shown on the screen. The catcher was blocking home plate before he had the ball and didn't have to, thus it is ruled safe for the runner.
He didn't touch the plate because he was obstructed.
I hate the new rule but also hate that a catcher could be run over. The catcher should have to give some of the plate for the runner to slide into regardless of possession of the ball
The guy was out by a mile. Tagged. Worst example of a bad call in this vid IMO.
I played catcher. This guy played it perfectly. Not anywhere close to obstruction.
