With all the talk about horrible umpiring in baseball lately, I was wondering if anyone saw this.

Angel Hernandez has to be one of the worst umpires in the game, and this just cements that. Dude should lose his job. He was awful behind the plate the other night too.

How do you look at the replay and still get it wrong? I just don't understand how refs/umps can do that.

SEC football officials do it on a weekly basis. If they're going to have replay and still get it wrong 98% of the time, they might as well just get rid of it and speed the games up.

Dude refused to have a post game interview too. At least Joyce admitted his obvious mistake in what was a bigger situation.

He's fricking awful, no doubt. I'd add Joe West up there as well.

Yeah he refused to be taped but instead provided a written statement and basically blamed it on the technology rather than his own moronic decision.

Angel Hernandez and Joe West are terrible for the game and need to be fired.

I think Angel is way worse than west, but both suck complete dick at their jobs.

If a refs name is common knowledge, it means they are terrible at their job.

Don't they call New York for reviews?

ETA I'm wrong, they have someone in NY provide the replays but it's up to the umpires

I know Mike Carey (NFL) and Ron Cherry (ACC).

I don't know why, but their names and faces are easily recognizable to me; more than any other football referees.

Angel Hernandez and C.B. Bucknor are two of the only names I know of MLB umpires because I know if the Braves have them for a series there will be at least 2 blown calls

Angel is the absolute worst. Joyce is actually very good, one astronomical mistake aside.

Balkin Bob is pretty bad as well.
