Baseball World Blasts Ángel Hernández After Yet Another Awful Performance

These days, there are a number of umpires in Major League Baseball who aren’t very good at their job.

Ángel Hernández reminded fans why he might be the worst of the bunch after a terrible performance in the Blue Jays’ 13-9 win against the Rockies on Friday night at Coors Field. He missed 21 calls in the game, according to Umpire Auditor on X.

Hernández’s most glaring blunder occurred when he failed to called an obvious third strike from Rockies pitcher Chris Flexen against the Blue Jays’ Danny Jansen in the top of the sixth inning with one out and one runner on first.

On the very next pitch, Jansen blasted a 452-foot home run to left field. 

Fans were frustrated by Hernández’s performance, and they didn’t hold back their feelings on social media.
