Twitter Absolutely Hates Angel Hernandez
Angel Hernandez is a horrific umpire and it’s insane Major League Baseball keeps running him out for playoff games. During Game 3 of the ALDS Monday night between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, Hernandez had three bad calls overturned while umpiring at first base.
On Tuesday, Hernandez will shift behind the plate. I’m sure that’ll go well and not have one hint of controversy.
Twitter absolutely went off on Hernandez during and after the game and he was actually trending in the U.S. after.
Here’s a sampling:
Angel Hernandez is suing MLB for discrimination. MLB should be countersuing for malpractice.

Thankfully Angel Hernandez wasn't in on Brown v. Board of Education. It would have been overturned

A broken clock is right twice a day, Angel Hernandez once.

Over the last 3 regular seasons, an Angel Hernandez call as 1B umpire went to replay review 18 times
— Mark Simon (@MarkASimonSays) October 9, 2018
The call was overturned 14 times (78% of time)
Overturn rate during that time is 60% - so he's not massively above the norm- but he is above it
Angel Hernandez can do it for the series by having a call reversed at home plate tomorrow night. https://t.co/M38RpLKyfI

Didi Gregorius was safe; for a third time tonight, Angel Hernandez will have a call overturned.

Yanks can score 10 more and win in an all time come back and this will still forever be the 'Angel Hernandez game' for me.
— Brandon McCarthy (@BMcCarthy32) October 9, 2018
Angel Hernandez will call balls and strikes tomorrow night. Surely that will be uneventful.
— Mike Vaccaro (@MikeVacc) October 9, 2018
To be fair, Angel Hernandez is 1-4 tonight, better than most of the Yankees

How Angel Hernandez is still umpiring let alone the playoffs is unreal to me. He is far the worst umpire in the league. Every year.

Three overturns of Angel Hernandez calls in this series now.
— Rich Eisen (@richeisen) October 9, 2018
If only it was 3 strikes and out for him, too.
The most exciting thing about this game is seeing Angel Hernandez blow calls at first.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) October 9, 2018
The Commissioner's Office cannot complain about pace of game and run Angel Hernandez out there in October.
— Peter Gammons (@pgammo) October 9, 2018
If Angel Hernandez was blindfolded he would have a better chance.
— Mike Francesa (@MikeFrancesa) October 9, 2018
Pedro Martinez went off on umpire Angel Hernandez to open the TBS postgame:
— Jake Seiner (@Jake_Seiner) October 9, 2018
“Angel was horrible. Don’t get me going on Angel now. Major League Baseball needs to do something about Angel. It doesn’t matter how many times he sues Major League Baseball. He’s as bad as there is. "

MLB has instant replay because of Angel Hernandez
— Lou Merloni (@LouMerloni) October 9, 2018
If any player performed like Angel Hernandez tonight he would be in jeopardy of being benched. Hernandez gets home plate in a playoff game tomorrow.
— Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) October 9, 2018
Expect more of the same Tuesday night.
