Imagine suing your employer only for the judge to tell you that you’re the one who’s wrong because you suck at your job
Life* he sucks at life
While remaining employed by the corporation he sued.
@@chicagodude8888 Actions have no consequences. Go forth and be free everyone!
And to add insult to injury, you’re the umpire who screwed that judge’s home team!!! That wouldn’t be helping your MLB record anytime soon, would it?
And then getting to keep his job
MLB fans should file a class action lawsuit against Hernandez for gross incompetence.
Yes, but let us settle if he quits.
Get on it
Where do I send the paperwork
Where do I sign
You mean to tell me Angel Hernandez called racism, and a replay review overturned him? I find that hard to believe, given his track record.
Lol
Well he wasn’t reviewing the play, so that’s why they got it right.
Get yourself a union that defends you like the umpires union defends Angel Hernandez
UPS Teamsters union. The amount of coworkers that deserve to be fired yet can’t baffles me and question why I’m paying dues that all go torwards protecting dipshits
Been a teacher all my life. Number one job of the teacher's union-- protect teachers who are incompetent.
@@markrobinson9956so stupid. “You got a spot you don’t deserve and your performance is terrible, how’s a 30 year career!?”
That's the best thing about having a union in your profession wherever employed. You don't even have to be a member to have their assistance and power that comes with it. I know that and live in Alabama where they are few and far between.
Accusing MLB of being racist might be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, fitting, for him, I guess.
Frankly two things can be true. MLB's umpiring hiring decisions can be biased against hispanic umps, and Angel Hernandez can be a shit ump who would've been fired twenty years ago if they weren't worried he, or the union, would immediately sue if they did.
@@psymar frankly, Im sick and tired of people bending over backwards to try to explain why and how "X" thing is racist. If the mlb was racist it would be obvious. If the mlb was racist 12% of umps wouldn't be hispanic, it would be 0%.
@@psymartheoretically then, in this case, then Angel Hernandez suing BEFORE being fired should have been the “killing of the hostage” that leads to no leverage in his case. He should have waited to sue until he was fired, because now that he lost his lawsuit, his deck is now empty.
Had he held onto the “you can’t fire me, I WILL sue”, MLB would have done nothing. Now that the lawsuit is done, he will be gone in short order.
Its the sign of the times. Accusing people of racism in order to get what you want has been a thing for quite some time.
My mom loves watching baseball specifically because of how much it loves and respects Latin ballplayers…
Why is every sentence a question?
I reeeeally wanted to finish this video, because the content is so good, but I couldn't because this was bugging me so much.
Now i can’t see past it. Thanks so much man
Why Why Why, 😅
To me it sounds like
He's written and recorded is script
Only one phrase at a time
So every line he speaks
Is agnostic of what comes next.
You can tell a little because an actual end to a sentence sounds slightly different than the preceding clauses.
Is this a trick question?
I was at a game in Oakland several years ago, and Angel was announced as the home plate umpire. The ENTIRE Coliseum booed him for several seconds.
SELL THE TEAM!
Angel Hernandez: The one-man argument for robo-umps
I don't understand why MLB keeps putting him behind home plate. OK, they can't sack him because the union is strong. That's fine. Why not just put him at third base?
My theory is the MLB are either trying to performance manage Angel out of the game, by giving him multiple opportunities to show he's really no good so they can sack him - or just building a strong enough case for roboumps. Get the public on their side to make the call and then do it.
I may be wrong, but I believe crews rotate, so there's no real way to keep him from behind home plate (unless I'm wrong in which case designate him a full-time outfield umpire)
@@wyssmaster No you are right the crews rotate around the bases.
I think at this point (notorious Bad ump Joe West retired) mixed with the fact that as a sport, fans and all do enjoy crapping on the umpire, he makes it so easy for us to. But I do feel it's kind of a bad publicity is still publicity
He sucks in the field too. Thanks to instant replay, those mistake are largely covered up so it's less of an issue now but before that, many of his most famous screw ups were not balls and strikes calls.
Because the umpires union is literally one of the strongest in the world, makes sense when you realize umps have decimated the flow of the game for their own control and nothing is being done. They are the fascists of sports.
UA-cam essay voice is strong with this one
It’s making my brain hurt dude😂😂
It's so bad lmao
Please just speak like a normal person.
Same…intoning up at then end of EVERY sentence is making it really hard to pay attention to what he’s actually saying…all good info but it hurts
You mean the way that he over pronounces the last syllable of words at the end of sentences and the vocal fry that includes rising and falling emphasis as if someone is squeezing his nut suck randomly during speaking lol
It’s so inauthentic and cringey. Why can’t people just talk normally
Chipper Jones said we should boycott games Hernandez calls
Chipper’s an idiot
Why is every statement you make have the inflection of a question on the end?
I’m not a Phillies fan, but one of my favorite MLB moments of all time was when Kyle Schwarber absolutely flipped on Hernandez after being called out on strikes. That plate calling was egregious.
I am a Phillies fan and I thought nobody would go as crazy as Lenny Dykstra on balls and strikes but Kyle Schwarber took the cake that night. Especially proving he did it to both teams.
I absolutely love Schwarber for bringing Angel like he did.
"You're calling strikes way out here, you're calling 'em way over here, you're calling 'em way up here! And you're doing it to both sides!"
Schwarber was speaking for both teams on that one too. Angel was awful all night on both sides, and Schwarber’s reaction was perfect
i dont like the phillies either, but i felt for them, that sh** was bonkers
Being raised in a dual team family and living my whole life between the Yankees and Dodgers, I would buy a round at the bar for the entire rosters of the Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, and the 2017 Astros before I ever said something positive about Angel Hernandez.
Craziest part though is still working while the lawsuit was active. At my job, with one of the strongest unions in the country, we can NOT continue working for the company while having an open lawsuit against them.
Yeah it's a strange situation. But with that said, MLB is arguing that Angel isn't being promoted because he sucks. So knowing this, shouldn't Angel set out to prove MLB wrong instead of providing many, many data points proving them right?
@kevwrong I believe Angel continues to go out there and continues to make bad calls deliberately because he’s an arrogant a-hole who doesn’t even have a humble bone in his body. Someone like Jim Joyce knows that when he makes a mistake it’s live on TV and when he watches the tape he’ll at least apologize the next day and admit that he should’ve done better. Angel doesn’t do that and so he is rightfully being criticized for all the mistakes he has made throughout his umpiring career. This is not us being a bunch of racists, this is us telling Angel that he sucks at his job and that baseball needs to let him go or else we’ll be moving on with robot umps umpire union be damned.
@@Tdull-tv1ds
Bill Miller doesn't care what the fans think.
one thing everyone AGREES. still going to stress the END of every SENTENCE
I weirdly think it's gotten a bit better. Not great, but better.
So quit griping, quit watching, and get your own damn show
@@michaelbaucom4019yeah for real
it's honestly insane how hard it is to ignore
@@michaelbaucom4019 I'm still going to watch the garbage
Why do you raise your intonation, at the end of every sentence?
Jim Joyce is the perfect example of an umpire. He was incredibly fair. He called things extremely well and was consistent. It’s sad his legacy has been defined by 1 bad call, but I think it’s pretty clear that he was one of the best umpires to ever grace a baseball field. His reaction to missing the call makes me feel for him, you can tell he felt genuinely bad.
I hope the Wendlestadt Umpiring Academy has him on staff, his knowledge would be a benefit to young aspiring umpires. Joyce had an exceptional 36 year career and was often listed as players top 3 and top 5 best in league. His only 3 bad calls just happened to come at the worst possible times. A perfect game, a playoff game, and a World Series game.
@@nickhughes8179 and every time he made a bad or wrong call he was gracious and admitted he was wrong. He was everything you could want from an umpire, fair and self accountable.
Good info in here, just want to recommend that you slow down a little bit and listen to your cadence when you’re speaking. It’s like a roller coaster of up and down, repeating over and over, kinda hard to listen to. No shade though, good job and just listen back and you’ll do great!
Got about 5 minutes end and couldn’t handle the upspeak any more. Absolutely brutal!
"this is racism!"
...
"Actually, you just suck."
"32 years of bad umpiring"
THIS MAN HAS BEEN SHIT AT HIS JOB FOR 32 YEARS?!?! FIRE HIM!!
8:55 you have to think the crew in New York was like “goddamnit Angel, how’d you miss that?”
Why do you emphasize the last word of every SENTENCE? It's incredibly DISTRACTING? It's a very unusual and unnatural way of SPEAKING.
are you trying out to be the new voice of AI or something? why does every sentence end with an upward inflection? lol
(once you hear it once you hear it every time) lol
It's odd that you have an upward infection of your voice at the end syllable of every sentence. You otherwise have a decent voice and cadence and good content.
Umpire Union is similar to the Police Union. 😂
Except the umpires union is actually trying to have better umps. You look at the young guys and their calls are way more accurate than the older guys like Hernandez and West his last 5 or so years.
Still, both unions first mission is always protecting incompetent people from getting fired.
How about to decide the playoff and WS crews MLB just ranks all the umpires based on accuracy through the regular season and picks the best? Crazy thought.
Exactly what i was thinking while watching this video. It's so simple just take the stats to make the decision. Not to mention it will probably help umpires make better calls since they all want to be in post season and world series games
Love the hat! Sorry they're doing so bad lol.
Great vid- anytime we can get anti-Angel vids I'm happy lol.
Imagine, just imagine, getting fed up, and cracking him with the bat and telling him to retire from injury 😅
Oh baby yea been waiting for this one
The Angel Hernandez lawsuit against MLB was designed to throw people off the scent….that Angel’s horrible umpiring is exactly what MLB wants from him:
To influence games and swing outcomes.
It’s why he umpired in an ALCS - to make sure MLB’s preferred team advanced. The team that MLB felt would deliver more media interest and TV ratings.
Toss a manager here, toss a player there, miss a strike, etc. can determine the outcome just as MLB wants.
Baseball is a carny sport
Good video overall! I wish you had spent the time digging into/ explaining some of these details though
You can sue your workplace without any repercussions. If you think they did you wrong, get a lawsuit and according to the law, your workplace can't fire you nor get mad or punish you.
Can you do a video breakdown of the history of all the MLB Umpire Unions?
2:34
LMAO even the batter looked at him like "....what?"
The only thing worse than hernandez is MLB management. Wake up !
I’ve been saying this for awhile now they need to put fines in place for umpires and even refs in basketball and other sports that fines them a percentage if they make a bad call and it changes based on the severity of the call and the outcome, like missing a game winning call in game 7 of the World Series would be huge and a larger percentage, holds everyone accountable and will make umpires think before they make a call based on emotion or just a crap call to begin with.. and I get it will be hard to make those calls but they need to put together a group of people who would vote on it or find another way, but I think that’s more than fair especially since the players get fined. But I’m tired of seeing players and coaches get thrown out over nothing and nothing is ever said to an umpire, I can understand throwing someone out after something bad but I’ve seen a lot of bad ejections and that really can effect an outcome of a game. I’d like to know the percentage points of how much a call from an umpire can effect a game. That would be interesting to see and I bet it would be surprising and would show we need to do something about it
He's singlehandedly making me think robo umps are the way
i think they are after they dial it in a little bit. it still needs some work. But i live right by a AAA team that uses the ABS Challenge system and i have to say that it seems to work incredibly well. Of the three systems (Full ABS, Old Fashioned Umpires, and ABS Challenge) managers and players have been resoundingly in favor of the challenge system. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing that put in place at the MLB level super soon. It's not a big change but enough to make a big difference.
1:15 I would argue that there is a difference between a wrong call and a bad call but there is overlap.
Like all bad calls are wrong, but not all wrong calls are bad.
If the you make the wrong call by 3 milimeters, can you call that bad?
You do if you fuck up the call so much you get a reputation.....
Diversity hire.
He certainly didn’t let us down his first game back last year, that’s for sure. I’m pretty sure it was in Milwaukee, and as usual, just blowing calls left and right.
This is like teachers failing kids even though they got straight A’s and never broke any rules. That tenure. Damn. One hell of a union.
A great baseball video, not about a baseball player. Magic.
At about 7:25 with the Adam Rosales "double" you said Angel went back and looked at the play himself. I know since the rule was introduced replay has changed a lot, and today they have the replay center in NYC. I thought they were using the replay center at the time. Were they not?
I am almost positive that at that time the umpires reviewed the video replay and made the call.
Watch a few replay reviews, they get the headset, find a TV, or the scoreboard, and watch the play. That's how it's supposed to be, the umpire screwed up, so they need to accept that, and see where they went wrong
Worse umpire ever.
Hernandez either needs glasses or maybe he bets on games. Nobody is that bad.
Made The Cut confirmed effected by the money makes you more attractive. Grats pal you made it!
Hernandez's only good attribute is that he's *very* good at spotting balks. One of the best in the biz, actually. The segment around 6:00 really didn't need to be there. He's a very good balk caller.
OK so my takeaway then is that if MLB can't fire him they should keep him on the basepaths and away from calling balls and strikes.
@@kevwwong They can't, umpire crews rotate so if he's an ump he spends 1 in 4 games behind the plate.
@@bmobmo6438 I know. What a pity
Between the umpires union and police unions, i'm slowly becoming anti-union. Nobody who sucks at their job should get to continue to work there.
I don't care what you look like, what your skin color is etc...If you are qualified and prove that you can do the job. You get the job. If you don't and are given it based on how you look or identify....then that isn't equality. Plain and simple.
So in a way, Angel is now legally a terrible umpire
You don't have to end every sentence on an up-down inflection.
How is the stroke zone different in each stadium?
Angel Hernandez is the worst umpire in the history of baseball, there’s not even a debate!!!!
Accountability, where is it at?!
Why are you over emphasizing the last word of each SENTENCE!
0:28 _That was the most ridiculous caption placement I've ever seen_
Have always been astonished he keeps getting PAID. Especially since he's been declared legally INCOMPETENT. Great video overall and well presented with one minor EXCEPTION. Mix up your emphasis cadence every once in a WHILE. It will make it feel more DYNAMIC. Once I noticed the pattern I could hardly hear anything ELSE :)
Accusing the MLB of discrimination against Cubans is like accusing the NBA of discrimination against tall people
What's funny, is Cuba is a communist country
MLB should send ol angel down there to screw up, and when he does, instead of being employed, he gets sent to the gulag
My question and many others have asked the same thing. “Everyone knows how bad he is, so why does the MLB continue to renew his contract?” Just like pro players each umpire has a contract. Why do they continue to sign him to contract after contract after contract. I played for the Indianapolis Indians a minor league affiliate for the Pittsburgh Pirates and as a catcher, I ended up dealing with Hernandez a few times and it was horrible. Pure trash. MLB needs to give him his papers and move the hell on
Legend has it when asked why he defected from Cuba early in his umpiring career, Angel responded "I couldn't be this bad there."
The nine most terrifying words in baseball are:
World Series game seven
Home plate umpire
Angel Hernandez
Where can you find these umpire stats?
I know there's umpire scorecards on Twitter, but the numbers you have show entire seasons.
The MLB needs to sue Angel Hernandez for imitating an MLB umpire.
I liked the video, but dude's narrative cadence is annoying. Why does he have to overstress the last word in every sentence? It doesn't sound natural, and it gets annoying after a while.
In 2000 MLB purged 22 umps and kept a guy who ranked 31 out of 36. We all know why they kept him, and that decision would come back to haunt them as they'll probably never be able to get rid of him. Had your chance MLB
I never heard anyone pronounce Hialeah like that.
Hai-uh-lee-uh
I wish MLB would publish the names of the officiating crew 3 days before a game so I may choose whether or not to attend.
"Hernandez ranked 31st out of 35 umpires"... WHAT!! There were four guys WORSE???
Strike zones do not vary from stadium to stadium. They vary with the height of the batter.
Damn crooked union protected him..
He knows how bad he is, the best call he ever made was to sue MLB so they couldn’t fire him.
I don't care if an umpire is from Mars, Angei just flat out sucks
Angel Hernandez is the largest single reason that MLB will end up using robots behind the plate.
I genuinely believe he decides the call in his head a few seconds before the play actually happens. He may have an intuition about how a play will likely occur, but when his record is only slightly better than guessing he needs to actually base his call on what he sees when the play occurs.
Suing in this day for racism is pathic.
The ultimate irony of the MLB having to explain to why one of their umps sucks horrifically at his job to a court, but then they have to defend keeping him to fans and teams.
MLB should sue Angel Hernandez first impersonating a major league umpire.
I don’t really blame Angel Hernandez at this point. The blame was pointed out in this video. The Union. It doesn’t matter if officials like Angel Hernandez provides fuel to those who would love to see automation in game officiating. Union will rant and rage at any attempt to fire Hernandez. There’s a reason why organized crime & unions worked so well together. Both operate similarly.
Worst umpire in MLB history
Angel Horrendez has the best manners and behavior, he doesn’t make a fool of himself by arguing
As a long time union member, I'm well aware of the benefits. Unions protect their own. The down side is that sometimes, it protects those that aren't doing their job properly.
MLB could just stop assigning Hernandez games
If Angel was a meteorologist and made the calls he does, he would be fired and ran out of the business.
Skin color should never ever dictate who you should hire or promote.
Don't you wish Earl Weaver had still been managing during the era of Angel Hernandez?
Some umpires have wide strikezones. Other umpires have tall strikezones. Angel Hernandez's strikezone is shaped like a donut.
Angel did this to prevent himself from being fired. PoS pulled the race card.
Those calls that you scattered throughout the video were ATROCIOUS! When you're making mistakes that are so egregiouly bad that everyone in the stadium knows you fucked up, and doing it over and over, it's up to MLB to say YOU'RE FIRED!
He should have sued for discrimination against the blind. Easy case!
They have YEARS of evidence and he still tried it 😂
My conspieracy theory is, MLB keeps Hernandez employed, so that some Fans can say „I can do it better than him“ and compell them to sign up for an umpire course
i hope they bring in the option for batters challenge pitches
Angel Hernandez is heavily invested in Hawk-Eye.
HOW did this guy have a job in Baseball for this long....?
7:09 I sometimes feel that Hernández is unfairly censored here. He made the wrong call in initially calling it a double, but in the replay room, there were other umpires who reviewed the same play and arrived at the same conclusion (somehow)
Wrong. Now they have umpires in room in New York deciding replay. Back then when challenges first came to baseball the ump that made the call on the field reviewed the video and he made the call after watching the video. This call is a big reason why MLB took replay put of the hands of the on field umps the next year
Someone pissed him off. I bet he was making bank on the side. I barely watch baseball until the playoffs and there is no way he kept his job and nobody else was involved.
MLB should file a countersuit for gross incompetence.
Guy NEVER stood a chance 😂
He should be sued for impersonating an umpire…..
