Ian Kinsler Ripped Angel Hernandez After Being Ejected
Ian Kinsler was ejected from a game against the Texas Rangers Monday night. The Detroit Tigers second baseman was given the heave in the middle of an at-bat after arguing balls and strikes with umpire Angel Hernandez. On Tuesday he had a priceless reaction to what happened next.
After he was tossed, Kinsler was audibly heard hurling NSFW language at Hernandez, telling him to do his “f-ing job”:
" Starting to think Ian Kinsler has an issue with stupid, incompetent umpires. #Tigers @mlb #AngelHernandez pic.twitter.com/SzeB5Ndr8h — Not Dan Dickerson (@fake_DDickerson) August 15, 2017 "
Kinsler was asked about the ejection today and here’s what he had to say:
Kinsler was asked if he was surprised how quickly he was ejected: "No, I'm surprised at how bad of an umpire he is." Angel Hernandez

Wow. Ian Kinsler just became one of my favorite athletes. That’s an amazing quote.
He continued:
“He’s messing with baseball games, blatantly,” Kinsler said of Hernandez. “It has to do with changing the game. He’s changing the game.”

Kinsler: "I'm just saying it's pretty obvious that he needs to stop ruining baseball games."

And he finished off with this gem:
Ian Kinsler said he hasn't heard from MLB about getting tossed last night. He then said Angel Hernandez needs to re-evaluate his career.

Daaaaaamn Ian, you savage!
For the record, Angel Hernandez is a terrible umpire. It’s an indisputable fact. I mean, he’s not Joe West bad, but he’s in the same category.
