WORST. UMPIRE. EVER.

by GMoney, The Money Shot

I’ve been watching baseball since my birth in the very early 1980’s. I feel as though I’ve seen pretty much all that the sport has to offer. I’m also a certified umpire. I respect the craft and the skill that it takes to do the job. Rarely will you ever see me criticize another official because I know how difficult of a job that it is. We all think, and we always tell our buddies at the bar this, that we could do their job no problem. Well, you can’t and you couldn’t.

But there is one exception here. To me, there is only one official that has no business being on a professional playing field: MLB’s #55, Angel Hernandez.

Angel Hernandez flat out sucks at his job. If something bizarre happens in a baseball game, you can damn sure guarantee that he is involved somehow. He’s like an unfunny, Latin Enrico Pallazzo.

But seriously, as I said earlier, I pay attention to the officiating. I’m nowhere near an expert, but I recognize when someone is doing a good job. Hernandez has the quickest thumb in the sport (he ejects way too many people). His strike zone is brutally inconsistent. And he has a tendency to botch rules interpretations at the drop of that.

I know what you’re thinking, “What is the point of this post”? None really, except to call out a gigantic fetus of an umpire who sucks more at his job than Divine Brown in her job. In conclusion, nobody is worse than Angel Hernandez.
