Angel Hernandez is the only constant from a wild 2020 baseball season
Ump show is at its finest with Hernandez somehow involved. Unfortunately, he must have some provocative photos of Rob Manfred, because there’s no good reason for him to still have a job judging baseball games at the highest level.
Even in the waning days of the MLB season, Hernandez is playing an important role behind home plate in a game for AL Central supremacy. Both the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians will likely make the playoffs, with the South Siders holding the edge for the Central crown. The White Sox Magic Number entering Tuesday’s action was 4, heightening every poor decision by Angel Hernandez even more than usual.
We are assembling video of all the bad calls tonight by Angel Hernandez. It's 3 hours long.

Oh no, that can’t be a good sign.
Angel Hernandez was trending nationally on twitter, and that’s never a good sign
Hey @mlb congrats! Angel Hernandez is trending nationally because he is an embarrassment to baseball. Umpires should not be shielded by their union pic.twitter.com/cgWU41euC4

Is there an MLB umpire shortage? Seriously, why in the world is Hernandez calling important baseball games?
We should all strive for Angel Hernandez’s job security. https://t.co/HSMOpC8LPL

Hernandez has nothing against your team personally, I swear. He’s always been like this.

Send that man straight to voicemail. Angel Hernandez is spam.
My sophomore year of high school, my baseball team played a game with only one umpire who was literally blind in one eye. He claimed I tried to attempt a bunt on a 3-0 pitch with the bases loaded. My bat was on my shoulder.

He was better than Angel Hernandez #truestory
Laughable at this point. Angel Hernandez can suck it firmly up his ass. pic.twitter.com/qA3HaeGAkK

Angel is an impressive level of bad. At 59 years of age, he embraces the drama. But don’t try to argue with the man, it rarely goes well. That’s when the ump show starts.
It’s mind boggling how Angel Hernandez is still allowed to umpire at the major league level, and this has gone on for YEARS

When does the @MLB start holding their umpires accountable? Angel Hernandez is another level of terrible tonight.

There are an astounding number of tweets attacking Hernandez. Even for him, this is a new low. We can only hope MLB takes this as a warning sign to keep him out of any significant playoff action. Please, for the sake of my Twitter feed.
