Angel Hernandez Has RETIRED From MLB… (The Umpire Icon) 

Now I’m convinced All pro-sports are rigged, today MLB lost a lot fans , he is the main reason I watch the lame game anyway. I think he was paid to call the game the way he did and it’s time to retire. I liked his composure considering he’s dealing with immature ppl. Managers/ players /fans etc… a nd the guts to stand for his convictions. Be nice to see the two ppl I love to admire cause of their errant follies Him and Biden , retire and marry each other, can you imagine …. Mr and Mrs Angel and Josephine Hernandez

​@@tomasneel1980 put down the bottle and take a nap, bro....😂

Now that there is nothing uniting us, it’s time for all the fan bases to hate each other again

Why do you keep copy and pasting the same response tom

Lets go, I’m more valuable than Yahoo and ESPN

yes. a shining star of a beautiful, terrible example. Which is why I am now, in modern times, very thankful for “right to work” laws in my state. I freely choose to join a union if I want to. And I am not in any way banned from working from a company if I choose to not join a union. Because states ended up doing that in the era of the unions 50 years ago. There were actually states that made laws that said you had to join the union by law, or you couldn’t work for that company. And that of course was the moment unions had their break-over moment when many(not all) but many started going against the worker instead of advocating for the worker as they claimed. Therefore, “right to work” laws were passed. For very good reason.

Now let’s see what’s right with unions so we get the actual bigger picture

Right? Unless it’s the Yankees 😂 It’s hard to watch, though, and I’m surprised some of these umpires haven’t been knocked out by an MLB player.

To be fair, every single time I see that call I genuinely laugh, it’s hilarious it was called a strike.

seriously i think he pulled that out of his ass

Quitting? No, he got a settlement from MLB to go away.

@@user-ur7qh2mu3k More likely he was told take the settlement or we fire for cause.

Jomboy breakdown involving Angel in Phillies-Brewers was fun.

@@user-ur7qh2mu3k It was long over-due. MLB should have gone toe to toe with the Umpires Union sooner even if it meant a shut-down. Angel was that bad for the game.

This is cold war politicking between the MLB and the umpire union. With the robo ump on the horizon it was time for someone to step down else everyone was going to look stupid. Hernandez kept the robots out of the game as long as possible.

I DO gotta say that C.B. Bucknor is at least as bad or in a close running with Hernandez.

Happy Birthday! Love the Phillies,they're my second favorite team 🤓

Happy birthday, go Phillies

Happy birthday, I hope the Phillies don’t win this year 🎉🎉

Happy birthday!

Oh no. Please MLB don’t challenge it

Tbh, you’re not wrong 😂😂

Offensive line in football is pretty similar too, the only time their mentioned is if they do something bad generally

I definitely don’t think he’s bottom 10 consistency wise either, but he has the worst missed ever

@@peskytalk I think it's his ego and bad calkls combined that made him so hated.

CB Bucknor is next

I will never forgive laz

Joe west was the umpire icon before angel. 2 legends

Up there with babe Ruth and Barry bonds tbh

Oh god, i must be too young to know him, time to do some research 😂

Your blind like him theewordsgreatest he was worse umpire in MLB history!

That one is pretty electric

Catchers who could frame were probably so excited to see Angel was behind the dish. And the ones that couldn’t… they knew they were going to be chewed out by their manager

HOPEFULLY he’s not doing it because he felt like he was in danger. There’s no reason for someone to ever take anything that far ever, I hope he’s doing fine

Right? He was the most easy person ever to make jokes about, now I’m going to have to be original in the future, big time shame 😂

You don't seem to struggle with originality! I think you will be great even without Hernandez.

No clue, definitely possible, but also doesn’t really matter in the long run he’s gone

If they did, they would never make that public. Honestly if you believe what you read, the umpires union was the problem. They should have dealt with him years ago.

I was at that game too it was an insane call but it was cool the fans got his helmet

Pretty sure he also signed it

One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen

Had to get the point across

@@peskytalk I’m wasted now, thanks 😂

Would be the funniest thing that’s ever happened

Nope we all think he’s awful, and we love to make fun of him whenever the chance presents itself, it’s definitely not going to stop either just because he’s retired

You might’ve had something to do with it!

@@peskytalk Hahahaha

I’ll defend him, why not, he wasn’t that bad but he made the worst calls I’ve ever witnessed

Not like it’ll hurt the MLB, they’ll be fine losing a little money 😭

Or just fire them because they’re even worse

I’ll miss him.

Me too

Oh it’s true

Bozos

I’d rather have laz diaz gone first but then CB right after that

@@peskytalk That's completely fair, they are definitely #1 & #2 on my list as well.

I’ve heard!

Missed most of last-season on medical (came back long enough to be rated statistically at the bottom of his profession), and I don't believe he has ump'd much this year. MLB probably used it as a way to get him to accept a buyout of some kind. (they ARE calling it an negotiated retirement, after all).

I forgot he was out on a medical last year. Well hopefully he can enjoy his retirement. Thanks for the info.

Reading it cover to cover

I second this

His time is coming

@@peskytalk Laz Diaz too

Joe west was actually insane I think, that guy was something else, I don’t think angel did things with malicious intent…. I can not say the same about Joe west 😭😭

@@peskytalk agree. I wonder what players thought though. I suspect they would say west over hernandez. iunno. would be fun to poll them.

I might test that on a poll

I would hope it's 100 percent for vin

Well, YOU can take the blame with that line of "thinking" (stretching the term). Me? I'll just pop open a beer and celebrate. Missed most of last-season on medical, but came back long enough to be rated statistically near the bottom of his profession. Yeah. Stick to your fairy story.

eh...you seem to have the drop on sticky fairies but thx for making my point--leave the heavy lifting to the adults

If you want me to start making comps of other umpires being bad I could gladly start a laz diaz is worse than angel Hernandez campaign…

​@@peskytalk Go ahead

@@jonathanfeldheim6554 Then I take it you'll be leaving, li'l fella?

Whoever I want

I’d take 100 million to retire from anything

Yeah, good for nothing.....

Good is definitely a strong word, sure he’s better than you or me, but he’s not GOOD in terms of mlb umpires, over hated yes, good no

@@peskytalk Lebron James is good no? I think I can get a compilation together of some bonehead plays he’s done, same with Jordan and Brady and every single person to ever walk the earth…. I think people don’t understand just how hard umpiring is and yt feeds the narrative that he’s trash and so everyone believes it. That said he’s not the best

Off the top of my head Laz Diaz, CB Bucknor, Alan Porter Phil Cuzzi, Ron Kulpa, Will Little Vic Carapazza, and Scott Barry

Sure, Laz Diaz, make fun of him.

Hated no, made jokes about, sure. I genuinely hope he has a peaceful retirement though

I enjoyed angel messing up calls.

good question! likely, it was because it was such an obvious case of frivolous lawsuit exploitation, that, MLB’s official counsel advised that they would win in court. In an official trial. And so they did.

a) You don't set that precedent on such a frivolous lawsuit. b) We ARE talking minorities here - MLB has to be careful (like all businesses) and prove themselves not-at-fault.

😭😭 I will genuinely miss his bad calls because they were hysterical, however yes he was a bad umpire

I want to watch athletes put on an athletic show, not an umpire clown show. We can't do that if calls aren't fair, consistent, and impartial, and umps have proven they can't be any of those things. So I'm 100% in favour of robots calling balls and strikes. Let the players play and get the blue power hungry clowns out of the way.

My bigger issues with umpires is their ridiculous ejections which ruins the game for the thousands and thousands of fans (especially children) that might only get to go to 1 or 2 games per year and miss their favorite player play because the umpire was mad he said his strike call was incorrect

@chad1755 I get your point but as a former catcher, part of the game is framing pitches. There are catchers who are terrible at it and catchers who are like magicians with it. Part of their job is to manipulate the umpires calls and with robot umps, that part of the game is gone forever. It's a small part of the game, but it's one that I really appreciate.

@@rayspooner1982 Yeah but framing pitches is a gaming of the system -- an abuse of the rules -- it only exists because officials suck at their job. Yes its a skill, but we should be seeking to close the loopholes.

@chad1755 I don't know. I guess I'm just a traditionalist. Once you make the game robotic, I think you lose what people really love about it. I like seeing managers go toe to toe yelling at umpires, it's a baseball tradition that's as old as peanuts and crackerjacks. Sometimes a bad call goes against your team and sometimes it goes your way. In the end it all evens out. Even though we all think it's our team that's always getting screwed. That manager arguing with the ump and getting tossed fires up the crowd and the players. Controversy is fun. It's all part of what baseball is.

… one to *eject* you. ☝️ 💪👉

Make laz go away first

Cuckoo for CocoaPuffs....

Not too familiar with his game, might need to check out some highlights 😭

Yes

He’s an iconic figure in baseball, which makes him an icon

​@@peskytalk Um, ok. I'd find a better word. Like "notorious."

He's actually a very nice person outside of baseball. Too bad baseball has covered that up.

Who cares, he couldn't do his job.

Completely irrelevant. His job was what we judge him on in reference to baseball. Good person, bad person. Means nothing to this discussion.

He was bad at his job, but that shouldn’t make you think he’s a bad person at all, good people aren’t always the best at what they do.

@@peskytalk i didn't say he was a good person or bad - because it IS irrelevant to this discussion. Try to keep up.
