The ump said that Harper swung his bat all the way across home plate, which was plane as day that Harper held up, did not swing, and his bat did not cross the plate. This ump clearly screwed the pooch on this one, and needs to be reprimanded for bad officiating.
@@PhukYoo-ml2pw So basically what happened was that pitch was a ball. And Harper knew it too and went to take his base. And the umpire at third base is Angel Hernandez who is nutritious forgetting calls incorrect. When you swing at a pitch in but the bat doesn’t cross the plate enough, that is called a check swing. Clearly Harper did not come close to a swing and the umpire was wrong. Even the announcers knew the call was wrong. And too me it looked like Harper said, “Are you kidding me? That’s horrible, that’s f ucking horrible.” So that is basically what happened.
Yea notice how he always smirks while players are losing their cool at his terrible calls, he's gotta be seeking some sort of revenge for MLB cutting his post season games off
@@johnblze667 Yep, he's not just a horrible ump. He's an arrogant, smug ahole. If he had even an ounce of integrity, he'd quit and return every penny he's ever earned as an umpire. But we know he has 0 integrity.
Which is why they won't let him umpire the post season games for which he sued, claiming racial discrimination. Just this past August, the 2nd DCA threw out his lawsuit. No angel, it's not because you're Hispanic, it's because you're incompetent!
Thats his intent. He's a narcissist who gets off on being the center of attention. Its why he's always smirking when players blow up on him, he knows he's getting his 15 seconds of fame.
Bryce went out of his way to sign the helmet for the kid who got it. His attitude and love for his fans even though other teams hate him is why we love this guy.
Close, but it's the other way around. They keep him around to distract us from how awful a lot of umpires are behind home plate, until the roboumps are launched. "Jesus, that was in the other batter's box, and cost someone the playoffs! Why haven't they put in roboumps?" Man-Fred: "Hey Angel, someone royally f@cked up again. Have yourself a ball tonight."
@@chessbricks2134 I wouldn't say Harper. He was right.. he didn't swing. Angel has had it out for him for a while. Go back and watch the history of Angel, he purposely makes himself the biggest star of the moment. Its insane! He's an ump! And when they go robotic umps this will be their reasoning.
@@DashDonivan No wonder he won't get postseason games. He complained about that in court, and lost. That is because he is a sham, a rogue guy who wants to get away with this nonsense. All for himself.
I was at this game last night and it was obvious they weren't going to show the replay on the big screens and risk a riot in the stands at how awful this call was. Absolute disgrace even to the naked eye
whites on a whole are afraid to riot, which is what majority of MLB fans are. if it was majority blacks fans, well... anyway, i kinda wish whites werent so afraid to riot, we might actually change the country if we did
If there weren't numerous examples of obvious blown calls by Hernandez i might be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this call. But looking at his body of work of just horrible previous calls he deserves no slack and MLB needs to remove him at this point. He's just an embarrassment.
He actually sued years ago claiming they wouldn't let him ump the world series cause of discrimination. MLB said um no, it's because you suck. And they brought receipts to prove it. Mlb won 😅
@@lexingtonconcord8751 of course anyone who states the obvious or disagrees must be a hater, how is that being immature? Bryce acts like an immature teen like so many athletes.
Not even a Phillies fan but good God am I so sick of this never ending stream of wrong calls. Every. play. should. be. reviewable. Those that disagree, I hope your team has an important series TAKEN from them by a no-brainer yet criminally nonreviewable mistake.
Braves won yesterday by only one run in extra innings because of a bad call against them. What was CLEARLY a foul ball was called a passed ball and allowed the Cubs to score a run . Luckily for the Braves they overcame and won , and the extra innings allowed Acuna to steal his 70th base on the season , to become the only player EVER to hit 40 HRs and steal 70 bases in a season .
Youd never watch a game again if the managers had the freedom to review ANY PLAY THEY WANT. I can tell by that statement alone you don’t watch many games.
Absolutely horrible call. Now angel Hernandez still has a job is beyond me. He needs to be banned because he always makes the e most egregious errors ever! Tell him Bryce!
Oh my goodness that wasn't even close. C'mon Hernandez. These players are playing their hearts out this time of year and you need to step up and do the same.
Petition starts tonight to have Angel Hernandez fired/removed/suspended from duties immediately. Enough is enough. He has made Baseball about umpires and not the game itself. He stood there defiantly as if it's "HIS" game.
Bad call or not - unfortunate response from the player. And we wonder why our kids display bad attitudes, have little respect for authority, act out defiantly, etc. It all starts in the home - but professional athletes do have an influence and impact on how kids learn to play sports with integrity. Take the bad call, and figure out ways to voice concern appropriately.
jim joyce ruined a perfect game with a terrible call and took the screaming of players and manager like a man - and has to live with it - other umpires just too weak to admit they wrong and take it like a man
It's funny, cause Angel worked home plate the previous game, and I said at the beginning of this one "At least Angel is at third tonight where he can't do as much damage." Ha!. Angel is incompetent no matter where he is.
Leave it to angel 😆 To be fair, though, i believe the rule around a check swing has nothing to do with whether the bat head crosses the plate, just that the batter's intention was to swing.
There’s nothing explicitly stated in the MLB rules about check swings but if you take the NCAA rules and apply them he fails all four tests. (1) Did the batter make an attempt to hit/bunt/slap the pitch? Yes (2) Was the barrel of the bat out in front of the front hip? Yes (3) Did the batter roll the wrists? Yes (4) Did the batter swing through the ball and bring the bat back or draw the bat back before the pitch arrived? No because pitch arrives before batter tries to draw back.
actually yes.......he sued MLB claiming R-word was why he didnt get to ump any world series games. He lost that suit because MLB came with receipts that he just sucks at his job........and yet Angel still works for the people he sued. Its so stupid.
Not a big Bryce Harper guy and he's got a right to be angry but throwing his helmet into the stands was just plan stupid. He could have hurt someone or even a young kid.
I think I know the ultimate solution to MLB‘s dilemma with Angel Hernandez, just simply do a promotion at a stadium He is working at for bat day, and right before the game is over have every single fan in the stands with a baseball bat just calmly walk on to the field and beat him to an absolute pulp.
When your suing Major League Baseball for being racist and still working for the same organization it’s a bit of a conflict. At this point it’s like he’s trolling baseball and wanting to get fired so he can claim they are even more racist.
@@Canine_Casanova How about you look up the rule instead of making one up? Nowhere in the rule book does it say breaking the plane means it is a swing.
@@alanhess9306 this is how I know you’re dumb. Breaking the plane of the plate is one of the three things umpires use to judge whether or not a batter “went around” or not. Stop embarrassing yourself lol
@@alanhess9306 this is how I know you don’t know what you’re talking about. Umpires use three criteria to determine whether a batter “went around” or not. One is rolling the wrists, two is BREAKING THE PLANE OF THE PLATE, and three is if the barrel of the bat passes in front of the players body. I didn’t make anything up. You’re just showing your rear end trying to play smart guy lol
Bro this is just ridiculous. Angel needs to go. Fire this man immediately. How does the MLB keep the dude?! I really hope he sees the replay of this because that is NOT a strike(out), smh
I don't think most people came to see Bryce play ball like he does a majority of the time; I think most of them come down to catch the latest episode of "Harper's Dilemma". And this is an all-timer for sure. I mean, who else can say they got a Harper helmet as he got tossed for an egregious call by none other than Angel Hernandez, MLB's punching bag? 10/10
Are there any standards to be held to as a MLB umpire? Little league umps make better calls than Angel. Why is MLB so afraid to terminate this guy's employment?
Check swing is totally up to the individual ump. Harper knows this. He is supposed to set an example for all the kids watching but his behavior was the worst since Brett's pine tar bat. "Unprofessional" is the least worst description one can offer here.
Just b/c its up to the ump doesnt mean they arent wrong. In this case it wasnt even close to a swing and Angel made a horrendous call like he always does. This is 100% on Angel making a god awful call that wasnt even close to a swing.
Yea.. the third base ump made a mistake on that one. I sure hope that the third base umpire was man enough to come out and apologize to Bryce and the Philly's for goofing that one up..
This is actually horrendous. Angel can’t get away with this anymore. It just has to stop.
The ump said that Harper swung his bat all the way across home plate, which was plane as day that Harper held up, did not swing, and his bat did not cross the plate. This ump clearly screwed the pooch on this one, and needs to be reprimanded for bad officiating.
