It’s fair to say the New York Mets broadcast is not the biggest fan of Angel Hernandez.
On Sunday, Hernandez once again became the biggest story in baseball after absolutely botching a call on the first play of the game between the Mets and Miami Marlins. Brandon Nimmo seemed to have started the game with a lead-off triple to left field, with the ball bouncing off then lying to rest underneath the wall padding.
Hernandez then called the play dead as a ground-rule double, seemingly believing the ball was stuck in the padding and that one of the Marlins outfielders called for an “out of play”. It was, to put it lightly, a terrible call. And the Mets’ broadcast seems to agree, because they not so subtly made this fifth inning camera transition from a clown in the stands to Hernandez himself.
Even @SNYtv agrees that Angel Hernandez is a clown. 🤡👍#Mets #LGM #MetsTwitter @Jomboy_ @JomboyMedia pic.twitter.com/r9vAQR1egY

And the chuckle too from the broadcaster! The Mets’ broadcast knew exactly what they were doing here.
