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.
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.)
I completely understand and accept that umpiring a baseball game is difficult. You have to deal with pitches going up to roughly 100 MPH and determine the position is often difficult and making call at the base you’re at can be difficult as well with how fast the runner and balls go as well as dealing with each team and their fans constantly arguing with you for every call. It’s understandable that you’re going to get some calls wrong. No one is perfect but you can’t be as consistently bad as Angel is and expect him people not to complain.
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.
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?
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 👍
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.
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.
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
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!
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.

The best umpires are the ones you have no idea who they are.
But I know who Jordan Baker is.

Jim Joyce was good, but we all know him from The Imperfect Game. But at least he took responsibility, dammit!
@@zachellinthorpe1277 He's a fucking idiot.
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.
Jason Dyrkacz yep bc apparently people hate him for being cuban🥴

Why celebrate the arrogance of a once-fine umpire turned into hypocritical pretender of "fairness" in MLB??
He is the biggest joke an ump can be

No joe west is. Have you seen how fat he is. He has no chin.
@@racingfanz4762 hahaha
@Det Nine they are both really bad
He's the worst. He does not care about doing a good job.
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 . . .
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
@@mikeloosemore6301 No. It was Angel Hernandez.
@@mikeloosemore6301 I just realized that I made that comment 2 years ago. Why even comment on an old post?🤔
@@robertgadling7217 Trust me it was not him, it was an umpire who never made it to the big leagues I think
You know your doing something wrong when buster Posey is arguing with you
Getting ejected by Angel Hernandez is like getting a detention from the drunk teacher
'Angel Hernandez...saw something else' might as well be the title of his autobiography
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.
It's tenure for college professors.
He’s retired now
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.
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!
@@Foxhound3857pitcher hold the ball.
Angel: Strike 3.
My wife is a very casual viewer of baseball but refuses to watch when Angel is one of the umps.

He is a joke, a disgrace to baseball and is ruining the game for players
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.

Bane The Husky I was thinking about it, but not too 5. Top 10, but not top 5
@@aaronaguilar9172 He only made 1 bad call
The trouble with Angel Hernandez is that he thinks the game is about him.
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
Angel Hernández: You're out of the game for breathing too fast
He is an antagonist for the purpose of entertainment. Blatant.
Angel is freaking hilarious. He knows he's bad but doesn't care. Definitely good for MLB comedy
Wait shouldn't this be like a mini series with 14 parts.
That's not a mini-series, thats a franchise!
Worst umpire in history at ANY level. How the hell is he still working?
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
He would save everyone time if he just ejected himself before the game.
NOW WHO HAPPY OF THIS GUY RETIRES NOW? EVERYBODY HAPPY NOW
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.
Karen of major league umpires! Absolutely hands down the worst umpire I’ve seen in 35 years of watching MLB.
Nobody like Angel Hernandez, Nobody!!!
Retitle this as Angel Hernandez blowing calls as usual.
I wouldn’t let Angel Hernandez umpire a little league game.
To be fair, Chris Davis would’ve struck out anyway
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"
Angel Hernandez always seems to have a shit eating grin on his face after he throws someone out
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
How is this video not 6 hours long ?
Trying to stop it before nausea sets in with the viewers.
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.

1:03 that’s clearly the right call so I’ll give him credit for that at least

Angel hernandez is the biggest goof in baseball ⚾️
Angel really “LOVED” the White Sox
This video should be titled 'Proof Major League Baseball Is Rigged'.
I can't wait til the day Angel rings up Joe West 😂
those umps call so many bad calls to mfs who have weapons in their hands
Angel Hernandez Clearly the worst I have ever seen and he enjoys it watch him smile as he Ejects a Player
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?
Hands down worst ump of all time.
He is the perfect argument for abolishing unions. No way this man should have had a career that required eyesight, or making judgements.
Angel hernandez needs a suspension of being umpire
I for one welcome our robot umpire overlords
It would be a step up from Angel Hernandez.
@@jasondyrkacz8270 It will be the end of Major League Baseball.
@@MegaMkmiller Yeah I am NOT a fan of the idea of robot umpires. Baseball is such a traditional sport and that would ruin it IMO.
well...baseball sucks now anyway, so why not ruin it completely?....u know? drive a stake in its heart? unless of course you are just being a troll
They thought doing away with lines people in tennis would ruin the tradition of the game. It helped it tremendously.

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, RUclips 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

The man is a baseball legend. When he's behind the plate, you're not watching baseball. You're enjoying a circus act and he's the M.C.
The umpires union must be pretty strong LoL
When you have enough material to make a complete YT video you know you made it to the bigs.
The fact he’s still in the mlb baffles me
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😡😡😡
Hernandez is completely unqualified to be a Major League umpire
Angel Hernandez: annual winner of the Bob Davidson Award for umpiring excellence.
Worst umpire ever !!!!!!!
Player: I love this sport
Angel Hernandez: He likes this sport?
*ejects the player*
the one video everyone has been waiting for
And the crowd just loves angel hernandez like wtf is the matter with people
0:50 No...that's not all he did. He said "what about that one"...that's why he got tossed :o)
If Angel Hernandez had one more eye then he'd be a Cyclops.
Hernandez gets bored during a game and likes to start stuff. He knows what he is doing.
Fun fact: Angel 's brother was in the Geico commercial with Ken Griffey JR and Ken's wife😂

“U would think Hernandez has the best look out there...” after years of knowing he’s a blind, spineless, coward who fails at everything
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,
Angel Hernandez always sees something else. Putz!
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.
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
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.
0:28 to be fair, that WAS a Strike. Angel actually got the call right and still got chewed out for it.
He was right on that 1 hit batter. Dude put his thigh in to it. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Ray Charles could have been a better ump that Angel. Hell, Ray could be a better ump today.
Well you know Hernandez is the first legally blind ump.
Are replays shown to the umpires
Proof the blind can do anything.
Imagine being as regularly terrible at your job as this guy is and never getting fired.
Imagine telling your grandkids you were a major league umpire and your grandkids believing it? 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
At 4:09 does Jason Benetti say, 'he sucks Steve'?
He is the worst of the worst.
You missed the most famous one, the one where Steve McMichael called him out during take me out to the ballgame and he got kicked out.
Good thing Angel Hernandez wasn't involved of the imperfect game back in 2010.
How is this clown still a Major League umpire?
that second ejection though
Angel Hernandez has an IQ somewhere around room temp.
