“He’s done it again”: Angel Hernandez showcases himself as the most relentless worst umpire in MLB

Angel Hernandez has once again proved to the entire world of baseball fanatics that he is an absolute liability at his chosen profession, major-league umpiring. As a general pragmatism for umpires, if casual fans know you by name, you’re not doing a good enough job, which is absolutely the case for Angel Hernandez.

On Tuesday night, an umpire named Doug Eddings also followed the path of Angel Hernandez by being the most hated person on the Diamond in a game between Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago White Sox. A Toronto coach was ejected before the game started just because he was agonizing over the tasks performed by Doug Eddings the previous night.

Come Saturday, Angel Hernandez showed beyond doubts that he still remains the most hated umpire to step onto the field in Major League Baseball. Hernandez’s Saturday act included; Tampa Bay Rays’ Brett Phillips hitting a routine grounder up to second. While hustling down the first-base line, Phillips was thrown out with a little issue. But, for some reason, according to Hernandez, he was safe.
