Angel Hernandez is the worst umpire in Major League Baseball. He’s held that title for years and is seemingly doing everything in his power to keep that crown for even more seasons to come.
If you need any more proof of that then just look at his laughably bad performance behind home plate in Saturday’s Yankees-Marlins game in Miami. Hernandez, who recently returned to work after missing most of the first few months of the season, missed 15 calls in the game and continually had the announcers ripping him for calls that were so obviously wrong.
This highlight reel should embarrass MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, as well as anyone else who enjoys the sport:
Umpire Angel Hernandez missed 15 calls in the #Yankees #Marlins game and was the day's lowest rated umpire.

He remains dead last in correct call rate this season. pic.twitter.com/lkELAwyzpG
All of that was pretty pathetic. Look at his report card from the game:

What's amazing about that is Marlins ace Sandy Alcántara was somehow able to pitch a complete game and get the win.
MLB fans crushed Hernandez:
Angel Hernandez is the chaotic evil umpire. I’m convinced he decides whether he’s calling a pitch a strike or a ball before it leaves the pitchers fingers https://t.co/t7VAkr0oOn

Hey @MLB, why is Angel Hernandez still an MLB umpire? He's absolutely terrible. https://t.co/bWIJEDOVqw

@MLB Is the umpire union so strong that there is no accountability? He has been so awful for so long that he is the poster boy for awful umpires. Just terrible. All of MLB deserves better. Livelihoods depend on it, why doesn’t his? https://t.co/g5BTvrTsnF

My personal favorite from this Angel Hernandez Masterclass is him calling this pitch up and in a ball, only to call almost the exact same pitch a strike the next inning. https://t.co/K6ke7nZDpl pic.twitter.com/A5UjG9sGLs
