@@cltmck He's certainly dedicated to killing the sport of Baseball. Baseball, Angel, you know, that sport with a little white ball? Bats? Bases and home plate? Oh, never mind.

@@jjwats12 yeah, I just find it funny that the two fan bases were at each others throats the whole game, but still can come together over how bad Angel is at his job lol
MLB absolutely has the data on Angel. They haven’t fired him because he’s got really strong union protection and he’s already shown a willingness to sue mlb.
At this point he makes the game look so bad that they might as well pay to get rid of him. I bet if they offered him 2 mill to retire, he'd take it and if not, fire him and use that 2 mill to fight the lawsuit.
@@Bruh1 The problem is evidence. There is some tracking of umpire abilities now but here's the thing, he's never the worst on those metrics. Bottom five, so he's provably crap but not the absolute worst. How can they claim they are firing him for bad performance when not only are they not firing the couple guys even worse but NEVER fire them? Any good lawyer could easily spin a tail that it's retaliation and discrimination. We all know that's BS but that doesn't matter, what matters is what can be proved in court.
Unions do not matter, the union did not protect bauer from being punished for being a victim of false allegations. This man has dirt on someone. They easily could fire him based on his performance. They have the data and the only thing you need to fire someone with a union is documentation. He has dirt on someone.
This will never happen either but I would love to see the next time he ejects a player or coach, the whole rest of them team all come up to the plate, call him a c-sucker or whatever and gets ejected too until there are no players left to play the game.
The players need to strike and refuse to take the field. The mlb would fire him on the spot the tv money is much much much more important than some gambling ump
Refusing to reverse a bad call on that should have been a HR was probably his worst moment. He was either making it personal or just too proud to overturn his own call.
How in the hell do we not have robotic umpires and refs in every sport. It's bc they are all fixed and he literally takes his job instructions from MLB. They in on it fools he would have been gone
@LOVEisACTIONABLE exactly, it's the sad truth that there's big big big money in rigging games. All the major pro sports in America are rigged to a certain extent and it it largely done through officiating.
It’s going to take both teams to stay in the dugout right before first pitch for this guy and MLB to get the picture. Make him stand there at Home plate.
Imagine spending all of spring training teaching your partner all about strikes, balls, and the strike zone. Only for Angel to be at homeplate for the first game you watch together on TV 💀
He wouldn't be the first or the last person to intentionally make bad calls to get a reaction out of people a lot of umpires have admitted to doing this after they retired
I am convinced he flinches at every pitch, closing his eyes as it comes in, and then opens his eyes when he hears the ball hit the catchers mitt. He then can only go off of where the glove was when he opened his eyes.
Totally agree, I know people like this in real life, any little movement they flinch and are not only wrong in their assessments but do not even acknowledge they are ever wrong when questioned.
likely true, but add to that the fact that Angel is lazy af and just wants to get games done with. He hates going deep in the count and just does whatever to get the at-bat over with. No integrity, an ego the size of Jupiter and sue-happy = great combo that we all hate and MLB can't touch.
@@rodneymartin6154 thats exactly the reason for the original comment, a lazy mind. the same people i referred to, also are nice people and they sense that any criticism of them is like " why are criticizing me I am a nice guy(person)" and it becomes a game in their own head to just F around. According to psychology this is true of a certain type of person, has nothing to do with being precise and realizing they are just a cog in the wheel they make it all about them unconsciously. Something has to be done!!
“The players should all wear bras! And instead of helmets, they should wear little tinfoil hats, ‘cause, you know, it’s the future and we shouldn’t be so barbaric!”
What it will take is for both team managers to meet before a game that Angel Hernandez is slated to ump behind the plate, and agree not to play unless he is moved to a base instead.
I mean he’s not even fit for base, in the video it said he was on a base for one game and he had 5 challenges against him 4 of which were overturned/called incorrectly
So Angel can be a cancer to umpires and baseball and stay employed but Trevor Bauer can be falsely accused and cannot play in the MLB? I think it is time for a new commisioner and some common sense.
Just to clarify, Trevor Bauer can play in the MLB. Any team is free to sign him. They have not, which might be its own issue, but he is not actually banned from being in the MLB. He was on administrative leave for a time but that period has ended.
@@drygnfyre He probably isn't willing to be released again over false allegations. He lost his job because a woman made up a story and people believed her before the results of the trial, I wouldn't trust the MLB either after that.
Also it was proven that only one of the 4 cases against him was false allegations. The other 3 cases are still open and are more likely to have validity to them which is why nobody wants to touch him with a 10-foot pole
There are no other active cases. The only legal case active related to Bauer is a criminal case against the second accuser. The other two accuser did not bring it to suit and refused to participate in the first accuser's civil case.
@@zachrose82 An open case doesn't and shouldn't infer guilt. He doesn't have a job because the MLB decided he shouldn't and for that reason the teams won't touch him.
Fun fact. Angel Hernandez was actually picked to be an umpire in the 2018 World Series (MLB has came out and said this) but he lost it after he has 3 over turned calls in the ALDS game 3. They stated that he did not rise to occasion and show he could handle the pressure on an intense stage so Joe Torre lost confidence in him and did not select him. Even the Chief of Baseball operations knows that he can't handle the pressure.
Simple solution: players need to walk out of every game he’s assigned to… just walk out, refuse to play until he’s removed. The only way this changes, is when MLB starts losing $$$.
I was watching the Cubs Steve McMichael game live. One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen, and Mongo challenged Angel to meet him in the parking lot after the game over the mic… the crowd went nuts for him hahaha. It was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen in baseball, and Chicago legend Mongo got a hugely deserved reaction from the fans. Amazing stuff.
What could he sue for though? Like they track data for umps so surely they could pull that out to prove he just sucks right? I’m not too familiar with baseball politics though so let me know if I’m off
@@BeanyBoi06 he’s already filed a lawsuit for discrimination in the past. If they do anything to him now he’ll say it’s retaliation. He’s baiting the mlb rn and it’s honestly a smart move on his part. I think that settlement check is his retirement plan.
I don't know if I'd call it "fixing games", but blown calls by umpires carry huge ramifications for both players and managers. What Hernandez is doing, is putting the players and managers at risk of losing THEIR jobs because all it takes is one loss to alter the front office of a professional baseball club. Players have lost out on going to the WS because of this guy.
As someone whose hometown team is the Phillies, I do agree that sports fans in this region can get very...passionate and/or vocal about certain teams, players, or officials. I should also add, though, that while I've been to many games at Citizens Bank Park, I've never once witnessed any brawls or shouting matches.
Major League Baseball Players forget they are actually in control. Simply refuse to play as long as Angel H is umpiring. Simple as that. Don't take the field until he is fired.
Just a minor correction on the pitch challenge system, only the pitcher and batter (and maybe the catcher I can't remember) can challenge a pitch under the system and it must be challenged immediately after the call or play resumes. Managers or other coaches cannot challenge a pitch
If the league doesn’t do something soon, one of these games he does somebody is going to want to take their shot. They won’t care about fines or anything. They know who it is, and they want it to end. If he was on the baseline and someone goes down to get at him I wouldn’t be surprised. Players and coaches have already run up to his face and put in their furious response orally. At some point one of these guys (probably in the playoffs) is going to backhand the shit out of him
That automatic ball strike system wint change anything. Ball/strine correctness is already tracked and umpires get a report sfter the game. If nothing has been done yet a challenge system wont make a difference.
What I find funny about that final clip of the baseball fan yelling at Angel Hernandez is the fact that Angel Hernandez smiles at the guy, most likely thinking, “Oh hey! This dude recognizes me! He must think I’m an amazing umpire and is the best thing for baseball ever! I mean, I’m amazing how could he not?”
I’m not a big baseball guy and was led to this by the algorithm. Anyways, I am amazed this guy is allowed to work. I had no clue MLB was so incompetent. Truly astounding
According to the data there are 16 umpires worse on Accuracy, 26 worse on Consistency, and 8 worse on Favoritism this year. I really think he put a target on his own back, but the slander is absurd this year and he's not even close to the worst. It's just clickbait at this point.
What's worse is that some of these MLB Umpires these days are making calls similar to Angel Hernandez as if he cloned himself or he's a ghost somewhere at every other MLB Ballpark
The strike zone changing from ump to ump is insane. The NFL equivalent would be the refs using different chains to determine a first down. One guys chain is 7 yards long and another's is 12 yards.
I think it's more than just angel honestly, if you watch a lot of baseball, you would see that there are multiple umps who just can't find the strike zone or expand it way too much and have really bad calls. they change games completely, the issue here is a lot bigger than just angel. my comments more just baseball related not really about him being a shitty person tho to be clear.
@@h445 id say angels the most notorious yeah, but the umps in general having poor performances, they the reason minor leagues are testing out the automated strike zone and the ability to challenge a pitch (which should already be in the game)
Part of it is that there are a limited number of slots for new umpires to come up who are younger and honestly, going to be pay more attention. That would mean paying out older umps to retire or pursuing a case against bad umps but MLB isn't going to do anything when it doesn't cost them money and they can use this as an excuse to add robo umps without fan outrage.
Most unions will fire an employee who actively hurts the quality of work they put out. Unions protect workers from being taken advantage of but they also produce high quality products.
Umps have a certain distance beyond the strike zone where mistakes do not count againt their rating. Angel hernandez has a 87% success rate behind plate because of this. Imagine the rating if there wasn't a strike zone buffer.
@@HVACNoLife I hate to imagine, with that error margin that means he's getting approximately 15 - 20 pitches wrong per game. Some of them are so wrong there is no excuse. Other umpires are only a little better.
Mlb has had the facts from pitch tracking. Umpires have score cards you can look up online with their calls annotated. Fun fact umpires as a while have been improving steadily almost every year, even with Angel dragging down the curve.
MLB players and coaches should get to vote every other year on who they think is the worst 2 umpires and whoever gets the top 2 votes overall gets fired and replaced. I guaranfuckingtee the 3 and 4th ranked umpire will work hard to tighten their shit up or else.
He's just in a Union in which it's very difficult to terminate someone of his status without changing rules via the next CBA, which few umpires will agree to.
instant replay is the issue. I've seen it over and over again in my life. refs & umpire depends too much on instant replay causing their skills to slip more & more. In 90s, the NFL removed instant replay and the refs play calls improved greatly.
He’s the Billy Mitchell of the MLB! Someone needs to photoshop a pic of him holding an “Umpire of the Century” plaque, that he CLEARLY made himself… Hahaha
One major change to baseball - umpires cannot eject players or managers anymore. If you have an argument, you need to be able to express that without fear of retaliation from the umpire.
Awesome video. Abrams deserves the attention. As a Padres fan, this is what we all expected him to do, and it’s awesome to see it happen. I’ll respectfully disagree that Soto would have been better off staying in SD - I think the Soto to NYY trade was an absolute win-win
I wondering if MLB umpires have a calibration session after games where they review video footage of obviously bad balls and strike calls. And perhaps a merit based system where umpires with the least bad balls and strike calls are promoted with raises and given postseason games to call.
when everyone at the party just wants you to go, but no one can really say it outright, and the person in question knows they should leave but refuse to because of an injured ego.
Rangers game recently, he called 3 straight pitches strikes on Langford that were a foot outside. Langford is a rookie and he never protested but the announcers were going crazy over the calls. The pitches weren’t even close. I was watching the game and it was the worst calls I’ve ever seen.

I think it's more than just angel honestly, if you watch a lot of baseball, you would see that there are multiple umps who just can't find the strike zone or expand it way too much and have really bad calls. they change games completely, the issue here is a lot bigger than just angel. my comments more just baseball related not really about him being a shitty person tho to be clear.
no ump is perfect but Angel is the most consistent at being horrible, my guy
@@h445 id say angels the most notorious yeah, but the umps in general having poor performances, they the reason minor leagues are testing out the automated strike zone and the ability to challenge a pitch (which should already be in the game)
Part of it is that there are a limited number of slots for new umpires to come up who are younger and honestly, going to be pay more attention. That would mean paying out older umps to retire or pursuing a case against bad umps but MLB isn't going to do anything when it doesn't cost them money and they can use this as an excuse to add robo umps without fan outrage.
A system that won't allow someone to be fired for doing a bad job seems like a bad system.
I haven’t watched an MLB game in years, and I haven’t missed it for a second.
Both teams should protest by not playing when he's behind the plate.
Can't believe he's been umpiring since the 90's! Maybe teams should refuse to play, when he umpires.
Most unions will fire an employee who actively hurts the quality of work they put out. Unions protect workers from being taken advantage of but they also produce high quality products.
This was your best video I've seen yet!
This man truly does unite us all!
Why aren't teams protesting him and going on strike to refuse to play if he is umpiring the game?
Teams should be granted an extra challenge anytime angle Hernandez is an umpire
I’m not a baseball fan, this just popped up in my recommends; I just love that you used “worst” and “worse” properly ☺️
Why cant MLB score umpires on there game calling. If they fall under a set level enough times they have to submit to retraining.
Umps have a certain distance beyond the strike zone where mistakes do not count againt their rating. Angel hernandez has a 87% success rate behind plate because of this. Imagine the rating if there wasn't a strike zone buffer.
@@HVACNoLife I hate to imagine, with that error margin that means he's getting approximately 15 - 20 pitches wrong per game. Some of them are so wrong there is no excuse. Other umpires are only a little better.
If the MLB fired him, they could do a GoFundMe for their legal fees lol
AI Angel Hernandez-Joker walking away from the exploding building is amazing.
There's already been so many awesome shouting matches with various Umpires, Profar And Shildt yesterday was hilarious!
Hernandez is the worst official, not in MLB, IN SPORTS!!!!!!
and MLB DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!
The reason Angel Hernandez is still an ump is the Umpire's Union
Which is a Joke From a Phillies Fan!
3:14 the editing makes it look like Angel called a strike on the old man's pitch 😂😂😂
I mean of course there will always be a "worst umpire," but it would be nice if they weren't Angel Hernandez bad.
I guessed right again! 👍🏾
(Funny, a couple of us literally just talked about Angel Hernandez memes at the Braves game last night.)
Mlb has had the facts from pitch tracking. Umpires have score cards you can look up online with their calls annotated. Fun fact umpires as a while have been improving steadily almost every year, even with Angel dragging down the curve.
Angel Hernandez looks like Jon Bernthal struggling to make it in his new career choice
refuse to take the field. have the crowd turn their back in support of the teams.
I can't understand why it's taking so long to get a system like ABS. Tennis has been using something similar for many many years.
MLB players and coaches should get to vote every other year on who they think is the worst 2 umpires and whoever gets the top 2 votes overall gets fired and replaced. I guaranfuckingtee the 3 and 4th ranked umpire will work hard to tighten their shit up or else.
He's just in a Union in which it's very difficult to terminate someone of his status without changing rules via the next CBA, which few umpires will agree to.
"He brings us all together in not liking him."
It can be THAT bad 😂
instant replay is the issue. I've seen it over and over again in my life. refs & umpire depends too much on instant replay causing their skills to slip more & more. In 90s, the NFL removed instant replay and the refs play calls improved greatly.
15 ft. Probably not right. Lmfaoooo i died
He’s the Billy Mitchell of the MLB!
Someone needs to photoshop a pic of him holding an “Umpire of the Century” plaque, that he CLEARLY made himself… Hahaha
The dark knight edit was hilarious and very well done.
At this point I think we should just use technology to call balls and strikes, and instant replays 😂
1:04 Did anyone notice the 33 on Gonzalez when iTalk mentioned “33 years”?😭
When you "look up"/google the word "arrogance", a hologram of Angel Hernandez appears.
One major change to baseball - umpires cannot eject players or managers anymore. If you have an argument, you need to be able to express that without fear of retaliation from the umpire.
Dumbest comment in the thread dude.
Awesome video. Abrams deserves the attention. As a Padres fan, this is what we all expected him to do, and it’s awesome to see it happen. I’ll respectfully disagree that Soto would have been better off staying in SD - I think the Soto to NYY trade was an absolute win-win
I wondering if MLB umpires have a calibration session after games where they review video footage of obviously bad balls and strike calls. And perhaps a merit based system where umpires with the least bad balls and strike calls are promoted with raises and given postseason games to call.
McMichael: you wanna go, bruh
Randy Marsh: I’m right here, Bruh!
Fans have all the power. Any game that Angel is umpiring, the fans need to simply chant "Angel Sucks" for the whole game.
ABS is being used in Korea right now, doing a really good job imo in a league that has also had some of its own edition of Angel Hernandezs.
He made the game about himself. Ego maniac.
when everyone at the party just wants you to go, but no one can really say it outright, and the person in question knows they should leave but refuse to because of an injured ego.
As a Cuban, I agree with you, we wouldn't let Angel umpire even sandlot game
Rangers game recently, he called 3 straight pitches strikes on Langford that were a foot outside. Langford is a rookie and he never protested but the announcers were going crazy over the calls. The pitches weren’t even close. I was watching the game and it was the worst calls I’ve ever seen.
I hear Angel called his kids "Out!" when they got home from a date. I guess he couldn't handle them being "safe".
I’m Cuban and approve this message 😂😂
