MLB umpire Angel Hernandez had a night to forget behind the plate during Sunday’s nationally televised matchup between the Phillies and Brewers. All night, his strike zone was all over the place. He called strikes above the zone, below the zone, outside and 6.5 inches inside. It was that bad.
And as that brutal night boiled over in Kyle Schwarber’s outburst and ejection, Angels pitcher Noah Syndergaard was watching the game from afar like the rest of us. He wasn’t exactly ready to join the chorus of fans calling for Hernandez’s dismissal, though.
Spoken like a true pitcher, Syndergaard hilariously came in with the best back-handed endorsement of Hernandez’s strike zone.
