Yes, Angel Hernandez is back.
The Major League Baseball umpire everyone loves to rip on is now back, and already he botched a stolen base out.
On Wednesday, he was behind the plate for the Milwaukee Brewers and Washington Nationals tilt, and he missed a call on a 1-1 pitch that then led to a home run the very next pitch.
Thanks to Umpire Scorecards, we have a verdict on his return and you know what? He did pretty well! Give the guy some credit — he returned from a long layoff and now he’s calling games pretty well. We’ll see if it keeps up!

Ángel Hernández's first MLB game behind the plate this year was okay except for the calls at the bottom of the zone.
